The majority of autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system starts to see its own healthy body tissue as foreign and attacks it. The body's war against itself creates an environment conducive for degenerative and debilitating diseases such as Crohn’s, ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus erythematosus.

The root cause of these disorders is not typically known but may be attributed to one or a combination of genetics, bacteria, environmental and nutritional factors as well as food allergies and a leaky gut (holes in the intestinal lining that are allowing partially digested food particles into the bloodstream).

Several medications prescribed for autoimmune diseases can wreak gastrointestinal havoc on our bodies therefore, when treating these disorders it is critical that both the immune system and the digestive system are supported nutritionally. Rebuilding a strong digestive tract will help to increase the likelihood that valuable nutrients are being absorbed and distributed properly to the cells that so desparately need them in their fight against these destructive diseases.

If you are suffering from an autoimmune disease give me a call and we will work together to design a program that can help to seal that leaky gut and strengthen your digestive and immune systems.
