Autoimmune Disease Remission

Autoimmune diseases cannot be cured but remission—with excellent quality of life and normalized lab values—is an achievable goal. Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the body producing antibodies that attack its own tissues. Several autoimmune conditions temporarily disappear during pregnancy and return after delivery. Autoimmune disease is multifactorial, meaning single interventions almost never succeed and addressing multiple root causes simultaneously is required for meaningful improvement. Chronic inflammation drives most symptoms of autoimmune diseases. A patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis achieved normalization of TSH and thyroid antibodies without medication after simultaneously addressing toxic burden, gut abnormalities, and stress.
