Autoimmune diseases occur when the human body displays an abnormal immune response to a otherwise normal body part. In other words, the body’s own immune system wages a war against the proteins of the body eventually leading to death. Any part of the body can be affected and the symptoms can come and go. Modern medicine has yet to discover a reason for the occurrence of auto immune diseases. And there are no known cures for them either. There are about 80 types of autoimmune diseases, some of which seem to be genetic while others may be caused by infections. Autoimmune diseases are generally found in women than in males.
Treatment of these diseases depends on the severity and the type of the condition that the patient is suffering from. Certain medicines like immunosuppressant, NSAIDs and intravenous immunoglobulin treatment are used to treat these conditions, but they usually just improve the symptoms doing nothing for the disease itself.
Research has been going on for years to find a cause and a cure for this condition, but not much headway has been made. Natural and traditional medicine however seem to have fared better. Clinical Studies and Thousands of patients confirm effectiveness of immune system boost in improving the conditions of people with autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, lupus, diabetes etc.
Though naysayers and skeptics would scoff at the idea that natural therapy and use of immune modulators could actually do something that the much hyped modern medicine couldn’t do. The truth however is that just because something is natural doesn’t mean it is not backed by science. Clinical trials are conducted keeping in mind all the industry regulations that control such studies and as such the findings cannot be dismissed so easily just because it contradicts the current allopathic understandings.
