Dear Friends,
In this two-part miniseries on autoimmune diseases, which now account for over 100 common diseases, I would like to provide you with a different perspective than the one offered by the current medical model. Since the incidence of autoimmune disease is increasing so dramatically, this topic deserves a better explanation than “the body mistakenly attacks itself”.
Before I start, I am very happy to announce that our newly redesigned web site has just been launched, you can click here to view it. The new Health Blog Page is particularly useful for learning about the latest important health-related information. From this page you can also access all my EnerChiTV video and audio recordings, free of charge.
If you like, please take advantage of the extensive “Resources” pages. The site now also features a Search window (top right), which you can use to find more information on topics you are interested in. We will be adding new information almost every day. Soon, we shall make available over 200 informative articles and newsletters I have written in the past few years. There is a great new sharing feature on each page that will allow you to share the information with friends.
If you have any suggestions to further improve the site, please let me know.
Autoimmune Disease Myths Unraveled
Our intestinal tract is constantly exposed to a large number of viruses, bacteria, and parasites. In addition to these and many other natural antigens (foreign materials) contained in plant and flesh foods, the digestive system may also have to deal with chemical insecticides, pesticides, hormones, antibiotic residues, preservatives, and colorings contained in so many processed foodstuffs today. In addition, there is the organic plastic compound bisphenol A(BPA) – an antioxidant in plastic bottles and food packaging, leaching BPA into our food and beverages. This harmful ingredient is also found in the liners of metal food and beverage cans.
Many people are still exposed to the highly toxic chemical fluoride added to municipal water in the United States and other countries.
Some large-molecule medical drugs such as penicillin also act as toxins.
Possible naturally occurring antigens include pollen from flowers, plants, plant antibodies and enzyme inhibitors, fungi, mold, and the like.
It is the task of the immune system – most of it is located in the intestinal lining – to protect us against all these potentially harmful invaders and substances. To be able to accomplish this task every day, both the digestive and lymphatic systems must remain unobstructed and efficient. Gallstones in the liver seriously disrupt the digestive process, which leads to an overload of toxic substances in the gut, blood and lymph.
Most doctors consider arthritis an autoimmune disease affecting the synovial membrane. Autoimmunity is thought to be a condition in which the immune system develops immunity to its own cells. It results when antigen/antibody complexes (rheumatoid factors) are formed in the blood.
