Alternative Autoimmune Disease Treatment
Autoimmune disease treatment is required by so many patients. It is estimated that approximately 23.5 million Americans are living with autoimmune disease (AD), and yet many people are unaware of these underlying conditions affecting their health. Proper diagnosis and treatment can be critical in managing these disorders. Autoimmune disorders are illnesses that occur when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. There are more than 80 different AD’s, and they can affect any part of the body. Symptoms vary depending on the disease and may include fatigue, pain, joint inflammation, and skin rashes.
The immune system is a complex network of cells, messenger systems, and components that normally work to defend the body and eliminate infections caused by bacteria, viruses and other invaders. Normally, the immune system can differentiate tissue that belongs to the body from tissue from a different source. However, if an individual has an autoimmune disorder, the immune system mistakenly attacks itself on a large scale, targeting the cells, tissues and organs of the individual’s own body.
