Imagine your body is a country surrounded by enemy countries and your army malfunctions.
What if, instead of protecting the country from enemies, it joins hands with them and attacks you?
Autoimmune is exactly like that. Precisely, your immune system attacks you instead of protecting you from your enemies: bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
We know it sounds scary and for good reasons. But guess what! By going to the root cause of it, you can reverse it.
So let’s wait no more and try to understand how to cure autoimmune diseases naturally.
You only need to keep your hair down as we are here to guide you and tell you all the whats, whys, hows, and whens related to this disease.
Taking the first step, check what precisely autoimmune diseases are.
What is autoimmune disease?
Like an army that consists of soldiers, different organs and cells in your body’s immune system safeguard your body from viruses, bacteria, parasites, and cancer cells.
As stated in the beginning, the autoimmune disease results from your immune system attacking your body.
Why it happens is a mystery, but some significant triggers for autoimmune diseases are inflammation and low immunity.
Though we don’t have data on how many Indians suffer from these diseases, as per a global estimate, about 700 million people, almost one-tenth of the worldwide population, suffer from autoimmune diseases.
Yet awareness about this disease is very little. What’s more, there are more than 100 autoimmune diseases.
According to experts, rheumatoid (among women) and ankylosing (among men) are India's most common autoimmune diseases.
Apart from these 2, other common autoimmune diseases are:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriatic/Psoriasis-Arthritis
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Autoimmune Vasculitis
- Addison’s Disease
- Celiac Disease
- Sjogren’s Syndrome
