204: Does Autoimmune Disease Really Exist? A New Look at The Research
About this episode
A lot of things have been labelled "autoimmune" that have turned out to not actually be autoimmune... so the question has to be asked: "Does auto-immunity actually exist?"
To date, we do have evidence that autoimmune disease is very real, but most of these instances look to either be collateral damage, "molecular mimicry" where your body produces something that looks like an invader, or something else.
And the root causes of "autoimmunity" are well understood to be leaky gut, a trigger of some sort and genetic predisposition. And in this episode, we're challenging the paradigm of autoimmune diseases to see if your body can actually attack itself.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
- What autoimmunity actually is
- "auto-antibodies" vs "antibodies"
- What it truly means to attack yourself
- Specific types of antibodies we thought attacked "self" but turned out to attack "other"
- Different anbitodies in Crohn's, Colitis and Lyme disease (just as examples)
- Evidence they are not attacking you
- How you can begin healing from autoimmune diseases
