Natural Treatments For Autoimmune Diseases
Did you know there are over 60 different autoimmune diseases? The term autoimmune encompasses a number of disease including rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren’s disease, multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, thyroid disease and lupus to name a few.
Patients often feel trapped and that their only way to overcome the devastating symptoms of autoimmune disease is to take medications for the rest of their life.
While the signs and symptoms are as varied as the types of autoimmune disorders, they all have one thing in common: they are in response to widespread inflammation causing a person’s immune system to attack itself.
Unlike many conventional medical practices, we do not simply diagnose and attempt to cover the symptoms with drugs. While medications may be a part of treatment, potential triggering factors such as viruses, food Allergies, environmental exposures, past and current stress are all taken into account and addressed on an individual basis.
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder or have the symptoms of an autoimmune, we can help. Our functional medicine practitioners have experience assisting thousands of patients with auto-immune diseases. We focus on finding the root cause of the inflammation and the imbalance in the immune system instead of simply suppressing it.
