“AI” on the rise: The autoimmune epidemic

Autoimmune (AI) disorders are among the most difficult diseases of our modern age, and their rates are skyrocketing. Beyond the life-sapping symptoms, there’s the element of betrayal. Instead of defending the body, the immune system goes rogue, attacking joints, organs, tissues, even the brain, causing inflammation and destruction.



In the U.S., as many as 23 million people, mostly women, suffer from more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases. These conditions often share vague symptoms, at least in the beginning: fatigue, mild fever, difficulty concentrating, allergies and unexplained pains. Misdiagnoses are extremely common and all too often the disease is blamed on psychological factors.



For many, a clear diagnosis comes at the end of a long road of struggle and self-doubt. And once diagnosed, treatment options are limited.



Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet for autoimmune disorders. Most AI therapies are designed to control symptoms rather than address causes – because we still don’t conclusively know what those underlying causes are. Conventional treatments suppress flare ups and include anti-inflammatory drugs, immune suppressors and other medications – all of which can have significant side effects.



The good news in that there are a handful of holistic approaches that can help manage these conditions and reduce disease severity, help control a rogue immune system and ease some of the discomfort.
