DEFINING AUTOIMMUNE
What is an
Autoimmune Disease?
Our bodies have a fabulous immune system, which is a complex network of cells and organs that defends the body against foreign invaders of any kind. When an individual with a genetic and biological predisposition succumbs to an autoimmune condition, it results in the body attacking its own healthy tissue. Some autoimmune diseases are very serious, chronic and debilitating conditions commonly treated with pharmaceuticals.
According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 23.5 million Americans (more than seven percent of the population) suffer from an autoimmune disease—and that number is rising. These numbers reflect a 300% increase over the past decade, making Autoimmune an epidemic crisis.
BUT TODAY THE GAME CHANGES!
Although patients are told everyday that there is no cure, Stem Cell Therapy has reversed these conditions and even cured patients! Unfortunately, there are little to no clinical trials being done to make these treatments available. In addition the therapy is expensive, and is not generally recommended and rarely covered by insurance. Most people must go outside the United States to find treatment and it doesn't work for all autoimmune conditions...yet.
We hope to expedite the FDA, spread awareness, provoke research as well as inform the public AND doctors that there IS hope! Not only are we possibly looking into the face of a cure but we can also tame the immune system until the day that cure is here. Environment, Diet and Lifestyle choices are key! Mind, Body and Soul.
So DON'T GIVE UP!
Never. Give. Up!
