At Native Sun Nutrition & Functional Medicine, we believe that true healing begins with understanding the root causes of illness – particularly autoimmune conditions – and addressing them through natural, holistic solutions. Many individuals living with autoimmune diseases are often focused on managing symptoms, but the key to long-term wellness lies in uncovering and addressing the underlying factors contributing to immune system dysfunction.
What is the root cause of Autoimmune Conditions?
In autoimmune disease we have an excess of autoantibodies, an overabundance of natural tissue antibodies which are antibodies to body proteins. 20 years ago in immunology, the thought was that any autoantibodies were pathological. Any antibodies to body tissue are disease, and now we know that is totally false. It is normal and natural to have low levels of autoantibodies in the system. They are necessary. Autoimmunity happens when there is an over-abundance, an excess, of autoantibodies caused primarily by the presence of the cell proteins in the blood stream. We now have 155 known autoimmune diseases, and more identified all the time. That number has doubled in the past ten years of identified autoimmune diseases. Did you know that one in six Americans, over 50 million people, have one or more of these 155 autoimmune conditions?
Two types or categories of antibodies:
When we are talking about antibodies, the acquired immune system, the antibody-mediated immune system. We have to recognize that there are two types or categories of antibodies: there are antibodies to foreign proteins there are antibodies to body proteins Dr. Lee, an absolute genius of the highest order, identified autoimmune disease, what causes it, and how to reverse it 60 years ago, before there was even a term “autoimmune disease”. Causes of Autoimmune Diseases The primary cause of autoimmune disease is necrosis or pathological cell death.
What happens with necrosis is the cell fragments, especially the nucleoproteins somehow go where they shouldn’t be, which is the bloodstream. You should never have nucleoproteins in the blood stream. In the lymphatic system, fine, that’s where they should be.
The sanitation department is the lymphatic system, but should not be in the life stream, which is the blood stream. So, necrosis cause nucleoproteins eventually to get into the blood stream. Trouble in River City. This is a bad situation. There will be an immediate and strong autoimmune response. The body will develop autoantibodies to those proteins to prevent the migration of those nucleoproteins to distal sites and that is how necrosis leads to autoimmunity.
