Autoimmune Disorders
Public Group active 1 week, 3 days agoAutoimmune diseases arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture’s disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).

Autoimmune Disorders 2 weeks, 2 days agoI was diagnosed with MS in 2007. Sick of the meds and looking for holistic approach. Thinking of becoming a patient of this practice. Does anyone have experience with MS and Dr Hyman’s approach?

Autoimmune Disorders 2 months, 3 weeks agoMy husband was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. We are already both following the blood sugar solution diet (myself adhering more closely to the advanced plan though Bob has just started trying the gluten free). We both have diabetes type 2. Bob had quite a flare-up problem in his right knee which is devastating as he’d been walking 6…[Read more]

Hi Ruth ….talk to Margaret Foster I know that she has arthritis and what she eats really effects it causing flare ups if she eats certain things like gluten and cheese. I have aches and pains and stomach issues if I eat dairy, gluten and oats but have never been diagnosed with arthritis . But my Mom has rheumatoid arthritis and deformed hands…[Read more]

thanks Nicole. It is fortunate that Bob is off of dairy already, is very lactose intolerant, and is now trying a gluten free diet as well. Good to have the comment on sugar–seems to be a problem for us in so many different ways.

Autoimmune Disorders 3 months agoI have Crohns Disease and need to know how can I find a functional medical doctor in San Antonio? I saw that there is a Functional Medicine Training Center that offer doctors a ”Five Day Course” which I thought was a little too short. A doctor that will know about the tests I need and diet to go on their after. I am sick of being sick.
Thank you

Hi Greg,
When I needed to find a functional medicine doctor in upstate New York, I received help by calling Dr. Hyman’s staff in Lenox, Massachusetts and they explained how to access a list of functional medicine practitioners through this web site. You may want to call them too.

Hi Germandoc
I just joined because I have those pestering 15 to 20 lbs to lose but I’m also very interested in autoimmune disorder correction via healthy food…
Hey there… When thinking autoimmune, also think chronic inflammation. You may have food sensitivities or allergies you are not aware of that are part of the problem.
