Let’s know more about the Immune Dysregulation in autoimmune disease. Together with Native Sun Nutrition and Functional Medicine we will dive into the root cause of how these diseases affect our overall health.
What are the two aspects of immune dysregulation in autoimmune disease?
The first part is that the innate immune system is weak. When the primary immunity is weak you have an accumulation of latent or subclinical infections.
Subclinical infections:
- low level infections
- chronic, or perhaps cavitated infections that don’t fully clear; they linger.
Over time (this process takes years) this accumulation of low-level infection will lead to an overactivity in the secondary immune system, the acquired or antibody-mediated immune system. So, it is a deficiency that leads to an excess. One of the massively incorrect ideas in allopathic medicine is that autoimmune disease is an overactivity in the immune system. This is false. It is an overactivity in part of the immune system. There is actually a deficiency, a weakness in the more important side of your immune response. So, we have a deficiency in the innate that leads to an excess in the acquired.
Part two, of immune dysregulation is a state in the immune system that is necessary for autoimmunity to develop. This state is called Danger.
What is Danger in immune dysregulation?
Danger is an immunological term for a state of heightened response, heightened alertness. In a state of danger, all of the immune responses are amplified, heightened, intensified and this state of danger is necessary for the development of autoimmunity.
Understanding these contributing factors is important because it influences how we address the autoimmune process. In simple terms, we clear what is causing the necrosis (pathological cell death) i.e. toxins, bacteria, viruses, etc. We support the innate immune system which is dependent on specific minerals and vitamins (nutrients) to function properly. We also use nutrients that act as an autoantibody decoy to attract autoantibodies away from affected tissue which gives us an opportunity to heal the necrotic tissue. We provide additional nutrients to heal the specific tissue affected. This approach takes time, but provides true healing and prevention for autoimmune dysfunction.
