Autoimmune disease and inflammation is complex.
Mode Healthcare looks beyond just medicine to uncover holistic options that heal not just treat.
Autoimmune disease is when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body.
Usually, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and your own cells. But in an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes parts of your body, like your joints or skin, as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells.
The exact cause of why the immune system starts attacking healthy cells is still unknown, but it's believed that certain factors such as genetics, environment, and some infections could play a role. Symptoms can vary widely, depending on the specific disease and the part of the body that is being attacked.
Treatment often focuses on reducing symptom severity and controlling the autoimmune process while maintaining the body's ability to fight disease. This may include medication, supplementation, nutrition guidance, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes.
