How To Address Autoimmune Conditions
This is the third article in the Autoimmune series.
In the last two articles we covered what autoimmunity is and what causes it.
And in this article we’re going to talk about how to address it.
When we look at treating some kind of condition or illness, we can look at it from two different angles: addressing the symptoms and working to suppress those, or locating the root cause that is creating the condition, and keeping it created on a daily basis, and address that so that it is no longer being continually created.

What actually causes them.

What Are Auto-Immune Conditions & How Do They Work

These are conditions such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's disease, Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto’s, Ulcerative Colitis and a host of some 80 others.
They can cause low thyroid, muscle pain or fatigue, stiff or painful joints, exhaustion and lethargy, or inflammation of specific organs, nerve cells and even the skin.
But what is an autoimmune disease, what does it actually mean, and what causes it?
In this article we dive into all of this.
