Naturopathic Rheumatology & Autoimmune Disease Treatment
"Autoimmune disease" refers to a class of illnesses that can involve almost any organ system. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system becomes misdirected and attacks the organs it was designed to protect. Often, the first symptoms are lingering and general, including fatigue, low-grade fever, difficulty concentrating, or unexplained weight loss or gain. These vague symptoms make autoimmune diseases difficult to diagnose at first.
Autoimmune diseases are more common in women, but they can affect anyone in any age group. Often, the cause or trigger for an autoimmune condition's onset is unknown. Conventional treatment generally involves reducing the immune system response throughout the body.
Alternative treatments are available, aimed to decrease inflammation and modulate the overactive immune system. If you suffer from any of the following autoimmune diseases, schedule a complimentary 15 minute consult to see how you can benefit.
