Just a few thoughts on autoimmunity
I could have put this topic in about 4 autoimmune categories. I have 4 AD so far, diagnosed, and that's not counting *what I believe to be MS* and who knows what else.
Just a few thoughts about autoimmune diseases...
It drives me crazy thinking, should I avoid Gluten? Was it all of the vaccinations I received? Was it because I never had Chicken Pox (or the anti-body), despite being exposed to it repeatedly as a child, as an adult, and even had the vaccination for it while I was pregnant? And yet, no anti-body for it is still in me. Is it because the world is so clean, that our immune systems go into a recluse phase because they don't think they have to work as hard? Is it molecular mimicry, like in Rheumatic Fever, in ALL cases, but we just don't know that? Is it because hormonal birth control was invented? It is something in the plastic, the water, the environment? Or, is it THAT easy to say, we don't know, it's "probably" a combination of things?
Your thoughts?

I love to read your post. Only the body can heal itself. The drugs given by the doctors just cover up these problems. These drugs are toxic and the body must eventually deal with this problem. I had a friend with cancer of the liver. She went through the chemotherapy and after the doctors told her there was no hope she went to Mexico for nutritional treatment. Problem is she waited too long and at some point the body can no longer heal itself. Diet is why we have an explosion in health care problems and it can only get worse with the things most of the people are eating.
If you look at it logically why do we have an explosion of all these neurological diseases and names I had never heard of when I was young. What has suddenly made everyone sick? When I was young you couldn't buy hamberger helper. It didn't exist. Many of these processed foods didn't exist then. All these man made foods are a real problem and have a part in the illness we are seeing. All these preservatives, pesticides and steriods are taking a toll on the body. To give an example: I make my own muffins. After about 3 days they start turning moldy because they do not have the hydrogenated oils and preservatives to keep the bacteria from attacking it. We have bacteria in our stomack which processes the food we eat. If the bacteria outside us can't attack this food how can we expect the bacteria in our stomack to process this food. Many do not realize the body is actually starving because we are not giving it the food it needs.
Glad you are feeling better.

You are EXACTLY right in all that you stated above.
And until people wake up and stop being the victim in all of this they aren't going to get better they will get worse.
Sorry to hear about your friend but that is the grim truth, some people get the information they need too late in the game. The chemo was probably the last straw for her, the body couldn't come back from that.
I'm all about education. But people need to begin to put their dollars where they need to put their dollars. They need to educate themselves about THE FOOD SUPPLY in the United States! It IS a mess and it is SOOOOOO ADDICTIVE....fat is an appetite stimulator...you have to do whatever it takes to get off the fast food and then the processed food....eat fresh whole raw food most of the day...then the body atleast has somewhat of a chance to repair the damage you've done to it all the years you've been eating what America eats...just look at The Biggest Loser....use to be you could only find those size people once in awhile...now they have an entire show and the people are getting BIGGER every year...I love the Biggest Loser but wish they would do a RAW biggest loser lol :-) I picked Danny at the beginning of this season...I trust they all have started to work with their emotional issues...we need support to stay healthy with all the bad food we've been trained to eat by the tons!
I'm teaching 18 workshops and books studies Jan-Apr in my coaching business and 1/2 of them are about educating people about the food they are putting in their bodies.
I'm still losing weight..down to 168 now...and feeling good...want to get off the thyroid meds but that will come in time or it won't , not HUNG UP there...
If you want to see something awesome go to youtube and search for Dave the Raw Food Trucker...look at how this man has changed his life..he's done with cancer and diabetes....FOOD makes all the difference in the world!
Good to hear from you want2bik1 :-)

I'm not arguing with anyone, but raw food isn't the *panacea* for AI diseases. All I know is that it has something to do with our immune systems (of course) and something to do a wacky gene that hasn't been clearly identified yet.
If raw food is your thing, good for you. My theory is that you only live once, we're all going to die anyways, so you might as well enjoy yourself. So, I'll have Burger King once every 2-3 weeks or so, simply because I enjoy it. Not eating it is not going to reverse my rheumatic fever, grave's disease, vitiligo, or MS... And whatever else live throws at me in my short 28 years on the planet. Might as well be happy. :)

please google the marshall protocol. i am new to this website and dont know if its been discussed but it may revolutionize the whole treatment of autoimmune disease if he is right. the nih is now funding further research on his theory which has cured mutiple cases of autoimmune disease including his own. he had sarcoidosis and now his cxr and labs are clear. he is developing the attention of many in the medical community right now. check it out! good luck.
I didn't say raw food was the cure all. You didn't understand what I wrote.. One reason why I don't come here very often. People want to be sick, they want to give all the responsibility to someone else, to a toxic chemical, to a gene expression etc. I'm not saying you are , however.
Yes by all means be happy.
I'm looking for intelligent conversation with people who have a vested interest in healing the body back to health.
Raw food IS healing my Hashimoto's, Pernicious Anemia, Pre-Diabetes and Hypothyroid Disease. But I'm not the only one. There are literally thousands who are seeing healing of thier chronic diseases that their doctors once told them couldn't and would never be cured. You can choose to do your own investigating or not.
I'm just offering it up for discussion and one "answer" to the autoimmune issue.
The "gene" theory is just that...it's not about genes unless you take one step backwards and look at WHY the gene expresses itself at a certain time...and that is directly related to the food we are eating. There is a direct link. Read Eat To Live by Dr. Fuhrman M.D. or Dr. Gabriel Cousins M.D. The "bad" food causes a breakdown in the chain of health. Therefore the "gene" has an OPPORTUNITY to be expressed and manifest. You don't HAVE to manifest an autoimmune disease..it is through lifestyle choices that it has been able to express itself at the time it did in your life. Lifestyle choices are just that, a choice. The power to change your health picture is yours and yours alone.
If you want symptoms relieved go to an MD. If you want health and healing go to a healer. ;-) That's pretty simple.
I'm sorry you felt like I or anyone else was arguing with you.
I thought this was a forum of dicussion.
I'm only sharing what I have learned and have tried out on myself in the last 8-12 months.
Be well,
Amy

Most people cannot accept the fact that something as simple as food (organic, raw, steamed) can heal.
It can, I'm proof.
~ Amy~
And wouldn't it be worth it to try it out on yourself? instead of using drugs that cause harm to the body? food , the last i checked costs LESS than drugs...and it helps the body heal...so it's a win win? right?
