How to reverse the autoimmune process

29 Nov How to reverse the autoimmune process

Autoimmune diseases are considered by the allopathic community to be incurable, life-long illnesses to be managed with various pharmaceuticals including painkillers, muscle relaxants, steroids and anxiolytics.    Everything is done to suppress and stop the immune system, with the underlying thought that the immune system is not functioning correctly.  This is a misconception.   The problem is not with the immune system but with toxic over-burden.

Most autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythmatous (SLE), Raynaud’s disease, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), atopic dermatitis (eczema), and psoriasis are the result of an over-accumulation of toxins in multiple body tissues and organ systems.   Exposure to toxins found in our food and environment, along with various yeasts and bacterial toxins found in our intestinal tract, not to mention increased consumption of sugar in all forms all lead to system wide dysfunctions that ultimately cause the body’s immune system to attack itself.

Elemental mercury found in dental amalgams, ethylmercury found  in vaccines and fungicides (which are sprayed on fruits), and inorganic mercury found in cosmetics, laxatives, nasal sprays, diuretics, antiseptics and some fish have been associated with Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), atopic dermatitis (eczema), and psoriasis.    Heavy metals cause chronic weakness in the body’s detoxification systems and are deposited in the liver, kidneys, spleen, blood plasma, the placenta and in fetal or adult brain tissues.   Effects of mercury in the brain relating to autoimmunity are demyelination, abnormal cell division, mitochondrial damage, micortubule destruction, DNA and cellular damage.

Heavy metal burden may further compromise and damage the gastrointestinal lining leading to the colonization of the small intestine with yeast, protozoa and gram-negative bacteria.  This toxic overgrowth promotes an immune response which cross reacts with human body tissues leading to chronic prolonged inflammation.

In short, the autoimmune process occurs because the tissue is so toxic that the immune system can’t differentiate between invading toxins and healthy tissue ¬- the immune system simply attacks the tissue where the toxins have pooled.

At the Lakeside Clinic our goal is to help you reverse the autoimmune process.  Our program includes the identification and effective detoxification of heavy metal burden by using DMSA/DMPS chelation in conjunction with proper diet modification, including the avoidance of food sensitivities and toxins, as well as extensive multi-organ detoxification regimens.   By naturally allowing the body to detoxify through its own means of eliminatory pathways, the immune system can then recognize what is normal, healthy tissue and what is toxic matter.
