Is Your Body At War With Itself!

By Dr. Greg Fors, DC / Board-certified Neurologist An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when your immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. Actually, it is as if your immune system becomes so enraged it declares war on the body. Autoimmune diseases are now the third most common category of disease in the United States after cancer and heart disease, with more than 80 named types and estimated at being among the ten leading causes of death among women in all age groups up to 65 years These diseases affect approximately 22 million persons, but why? From the year 1900 to the end of World War II, most of the diseases throughout the world were “diseases of contagion.â€? These were diseases caused by outside pathogens entering the body. With the introduction of proper sanitation practices and antibiotics, most of these contagious diseases have been controlled, especially in the developed world. However, with opening act and band music by beginning at the end of World War II and especially at the present time, Sherwin and Pam Linton the primary disorders in the developed world became diseases of the toxic burden. It’s simple really; as this planet’s toxic burden increases, so your Sat, March 26, 2011 body’s toxic burden increases. 3 PM Matinee ~ 7PM Evening Show When your body is exposed to chemicals, heavy metals and plasticizers it struggles to take these toxins out of your bloodstream Anoka High School by eliminating them through the stool and kidneys.

Your body’s only defense 763-757-4143 or 763-421-4361 against this onslaught is calling the immune system into action. Ask yourself, how many people do you know with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, environmental sensitivity, lupus, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, “dry eye syndromeâ€? or children with autism or ADHD? You’re probably aware of the ever-increasing numbers of people who no longer can eat foods containing gluten, casein, corn or soy, or be in the same room with someone wearing perfume. All of these modern disorders are related to an angry over taxed immune system and systemic inflammation triggered $1< /LIW &KDLU RU 6FRRWHU U RU 6FRRWHU by toxic injury from “fakeâ€? foods and a toxic environment. Many of the autoimmune disorders of today were not that prevalent even 25 years ago. ,QFOXGLQJ 6DOH ,WHPV Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common thyroid disease and autoimmune disorder in the country today. It is triggered when antibodies from your immune system attack your thyroid. This can decrease the thyroid’s hormone output (a condition called hypothyroidism). Symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, constipation, dry hair, depression, joint and muscle pain, infertility and often increased cholesterol. Research finds this condition to be seven times more common in women than in men and frequently goes undiagnosed unless the right lab tests are run. Thyroiditis can also increase thyroid function (hyperthyroidism). As an autoimmune disorder, this results when thyroid-stimulating antibodies begin to mimic thyroid-stimulating hormones causing your thyroid to :H 6WRFN 7HQD increase hormone production. This can cause symptoms of such as rapid ,QFRQWLQHQFH 3URGXFWV heartbeat, heat intolerance, weight loss, frequent bowel movements and )UHH 6DPSOHV $YDLODEOH anxiety like symptoms. 1R ([SLUDWLRQ 0XVW SUHVHQW DW WLPH RI SXUFKDVH /LPLW 2QH &RXSRQ SHU XQLW Common causes of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis are specific antigens 0F .QLJKW 5G 1 such as a food, a mold, bacteria, or chronic virus that triggers the autoimmune ( 0RRUH /DNH 'U )ULGOH\ 0DSOHZRRG reaction.

Proper laboratory testing by a knowledgeable doctor is the only way to know what is causing your thyroiditis and how to heal it. The common approach of utilizing drugs actually suppresses the immune system which can lead to devastating side effects such as lessening your ability to resist infections and the spread of malignant cancer cells. These drugs can also cause hypertension, gastric ulcers, increased blood lipids and glucose along with kidney and liver injury. However, as have many other doctors who practice functional medicine, I have seen numerous patients with autoimmune disorders conquer them through a natural approach, without dangerous drugs. There Y♀u & Y♂u is a better, safer way!
