Autoimmune diseases in general practice

October 03, 202311 min read

In medicine, autoimmune disease is an umbrella term for diseases caused by an excessive reac‐ tion of the immune system against the body’s own tissue. The immune system mistakenly recog‐ nizes the body’s own tissue as a foreign body to be fought. This leads to severe inflammatory reac‐ tions that cause damage to the affected organs.

Autoimmune diseases can affect almost all organs and tissues of the body, such as skin (Lichen sclerosus, Alopecia areata), colon (Crohn’s disease), small intestine (Celiac disease), joints (Rheu‐ matoid polyarthritis), thyroid (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis), nervous system (Multiple sclerosis), con‐ nective tissue (Scleroderma), salivary glands (Sjögren’s syndrome) and many others, to represent just a small selection.

Definition

The immune system is normally responsible for the recognition and defense against foreign sub‐ stances, microorganisms and viruses. An important role is played by T cells, which are trained in the thymus to tolerate the body’s own structures. Unsuitable T cells are eliminated.

This central immune tolerance is one of the measures that the immune system takes in order to conserve itself and to be able to fight foreign substances.

In autoimmune diseases, a group of T cells behaves differently and fights the body’s own struc‐ tures like foreign tissue. At the same time repair mechanisms of the body try to renew damaged tissue. This process continues without treatment until the organ system is completely destroyed.

Causes

Despite intensive research within conventional medicine, the cause of autoimmune diseases is still unclear.

In naturopathy, one tries to understand the development of a disease in terms of the interaction between the person, his way of life and his environment. The central question is: What has changed the affected body tissue in such a way, that the body sees it as foreign tissue and begins to destroy it?

Harmful environmental toxins such as sprays, chemicals, antibiotics and other drugs, environmen‐ tal influences such as radiation, electro smog etc. change our body tissues, irritate our immune system and lead to faulty reactions. Heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, lead, nickel, arsenic and other substances play a major role. They are stored directly in our nervous system and also in glandular tissue such as the thyroid gland, thereby triggering chronic inflammatory reactions in the form of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Chronic in‐ fections such as Lyme disease and viral infections in particular, usually in conjunction with a dis‐ turbed body environment in the form of hyperacidity, also contribute to the development of auto‐ immune reactions

Therapy

In conventional medicine, autoimmune diseases have been treated primarily with cortisone and immunosuppressants. Today, research is moving more in the direction of antibody therapy and has made considerable progress.

In naturopathy, one tries to stabilize the sick immune system by looking for the actual causes of the disease and also treating them.
