Autoimmunity

Auto-immunity is primarily an immune problem and secondarily a problem of the specific system that it affects - joints, gut, nerves, etc.  With this in mind, I first, identify where in the body auto-immune reactions are taking place, or confirm the diagnosis that the patient reports. 

Since a leaky gut often precedes the development of auto-immunity in the body, I assess gut function utilizing both a comprehensive health history as well as a stool test.  If inflammation is present in the gut, I will need to resolve it before your auto-antibody levels come down.  I do whole body care, so would likely have you get a blood draw so I can measure your vitamin D level, thyroid function, auto-antibody baseline levels, blood sugar status as well as others.

We will likely discuss your level of exposure to environmental toxicants, since they are ubiquitous in most peoples environments, and since they, alone, can initiate auto-immunity in the body.

I will never promise to cure you of auto-immunity.  However, I don't think there has ever been a time when I was unable to bring auto-antibody levels back to normal range.  This will likely involve some dietary changes.
