AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
You may have heard of Lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and Crohn’s disease. Are there any similarities between them? Each type of autoimmune disease is a lifelong condition.
More than 60 million people are living with an autoimmune disease in North America. A treatment plan that can help you manage your symptoms and live a healthy, active life is crucial if you suffer from one of these conditions.
Living with an autoimmune condition
When living with an autoimmune condition, acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be powerful allies. Here are some ways they can help:
- Boost your immune system
- Symptoms of pain can be relieved
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Enhance the quality of your life
Perhaps most importantly, your practitioner will focus on YOU as an individual. As a result, your care will be tailored to your specific needs and symptoms, so you won’t ever receive a “one-size-fits-all” treatment.
When the immune response goes wrong
Understanding how the immune system works is essential in order to understand autoimmune disease. A person’s immune system protects the body from microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. It is the immune system’s job to distinguish between the body’s tissues and outside organisms when it works properly.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system stops recognizing body tissues, cells, and organs.
Inflammation caused by this immune response eventually leads to autoimmune disease. The autoimmune component is believed to be present in 80 recognized autoimmune diseases and several other conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
The symptoms and progression ...
The symptoms and progression of autoimmune diseases are often different, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Depending on the condition, multiple organs may be affected or a single part. In addition, symptoms may persist, get worse over time, or go into remission with occasional “flare-ups.” Finally, they can range from mild to incapacitating.
There is no specific cause for autoimmune diseases, but since many of them run in families, there is thought to be a genetic component to them. In addition, hormones may play a role in many autoimmune diseases since women are at a higher risk.
Treatments generally rely upon various medications, which can help relieve symptoms but may have uncomfortable side effects.
The disease is not important. The “patient” is important, because the patient has created the disease. The cause is in the patient; the disease is only a symptom. You can change the symptom, and another symptom will come up. You can force this disease by drugs, you can stop its expression, but then the disease will assert itself somewhere else and with more danger, more force – with a vengeance. So we will feel the “patient.” As we all aware education and experience equality important. But most important to get in tune with the “patient” and find the cause using both western and eastern medicine. We care and will build a rapport; and create a bridge on your healing journey!

How acupuncture can help
