Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune Diseases occur when the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and starts to attack itself. We can help you manage and put them into remission.

Autoimmune Disease

About

Autoimmune diseases are the third largest cause of morbidity / mortality in the industrialised world; surpassed only by cancer and heart disease. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of the UK population are living with autoimmune disease symptoms, and have their quality of every day life severely impaired.

We have a wealth of experience across our practitioners in working with many different autoimmune diseases; helping people to manage their conditions, and in some cases, to live a symptom-free life.

Types

There are over 80 classified Autoimmune Diseases (AIDs). Some of the most common include:

Celiac Disease
Diabetes Type 1
Grave’s Disease
Mix Connective Tissue Disease
Psoriasis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Crohn’s Disease
Endometriosis
Hashimoto’s Thyroditis
Multiple Sclerosis
Raynaud’s Phenomenon
Sjogren’s Syndrome

Symptoms

Once an autoimmune process has been activated, any of the vital organs, glands and tissue can be attacked. As they become damaged, their function reduces creating an array of symptoms.

Milder symptoms might include chronic joint inflammation (Arthritis) and hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) whilst more serious symptoms can include liver failure from autoimmune hepatitis.

Causes

There is often a genetic predisposition, which becomes activated by environmental influences. The health of the gut also plays a vital role. As the lining becomes damaged, holes are created that allow undigested food particles and toxins into the blood. This process is known as leaky gut and not only creates a chain reaction of chronic inflammation, but also increases the toxic load on the liver and detoxification pathways.

Another common and overlooked cause is undiagnosed bacterial and viral infections.

These include:

Proteus Mirabilis – Rheumatoid Arthritis
Chlamydia pneumoniae – Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinsons
Epstein Barr Virus and Yersinia – Hashimoto’s
Klebsiella pneumonia – Ankylosing Spondylitis and Crohn’s
Borrelia burgdorferi – Lyme and MS

Treatments

Without understanding the root cause of the problem, conventional medicine has little to offer AID sufferers. At Mi Healthcare, we use a different approach – based on the latest research in functional medicine.

Some of the areas we pay particular attention to are gut health (healing the leaky gut), toxicity (such as heavy metals) and identifying any bacterial and viral infections present. It is also important to identify undiagnosed gluten sensitivity. All of these causes can be identified using accurate state of the art testing.

Testimonials

Having suffered with Crohn’s disease for so many years, I was literally sick and tired of being sick and tired! All my organs were breaking down from my liver to my lungs and everything in between. All the medication I was taking seemed to be making me progressively worse. Meeting Erran and doing his Ultimate Lifestyle Reset Program was such a God send. I never thought I would ever be able to feel as good as I feel now! I’m so grateful for the program, the patience, support and genuine care I received while getting my health and my life back.
