Inflammation in autoimmune diseases is the number
one killer on Planet Earth. Our own white cells start
attacking body organs. The attack triggered by
infections, surgery, injury, inhalation
of pollutants, vaccination or
stress.
If a disease has good & bad days,
consider it to be a autoimmune disorder. If the disease started
after pregnancy, surgery, car accidents, toxic exposure or living
close to a dump, its autoimmune. The sooner you change your
lifestyle the better the results.
After the termination of pregnancy a increased autoimmune attack
is seen & autoimmune diseases are triggered after pregnancy
including Vasculitis, depression & PTSD.
In every disease there is a trigger
which is usually a protein on the surface of a microbe or food
example (gluten). Usually a infection will trigger a immune response
that begins to attack a part of your body. Unless the particular
microbe is neutralized you will not be able to achieve a cure.
Stress reduces your immune functions
and is the first step to trigger off autoimmune diseases. Prayer and
trust in God will relive stress. If you do negative things that will
contribute to stress. Read the diet page for more instructions.
P.T.S.D. (post
traumatic stress disorder), depression, anxiety,
O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder),
PANDAS are all immune
mediated.
Young women with
undiagnosed problems please read
about
Dysautonomia.
Inflammatory disorders are common in women. Do not think that hot flashes are
due to hormone deficiency. Diseases should be treated by considering
that you have immune dysfunction.

history)
President J.F.
Kennedy (medical
history)
You all remember President Regan, he
had chest cancer and did not get any treatment in USA, he got his
immune functions fixed by alternative treatments and fully recovered
from the cancer.
Below is a description of a common
autoimmune nerve disorder, for other diseases please see our
disease section. of E-Book. or the main
disease section here.
Tingling numbness in the
toes can be Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy .
Diabetics have a higher incidence of CIDP. A super expert medical
professional can diagnose CIDP on the first visit without any
electro-diagnostic help, read our diagnosis page to find out which
is the best test.
Any
feeling of numbness & weakness is
polyneuropathy is more likely to be CIDP.
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculo
neuropathy is an immune-mediated Polyneuropathy
(inflammatory) that affects the nerves. The symptoms are a slowly
progressive, numbness and tingling starts in the feet, and
then involves legs and hands. Sufferer notices weakness
in the legs, later in the arms. Some complain of inability to walk
or maintain balance in the dark. There is frequently some
spinal cord involvement. Occasionally,
cranial nerves are involved, symptoms range from visual
perception difficulties, double vision, numbness involving the face,
hearing disorders. Cognitive skills are not affected by CIDP. Most
people believe that their knee, ankles or hip joints are a problem.
Muscle and spinal involvement is frequent in CIDP.
Brain involvement in CIDP is
misdiagnosed as MS.
A
CIDP patient uses hands to go upstairs or rise from the squatting
position, these are signs of legs becoming weaker. burning sensations
like, (Reflex
Sympathetic Dystrophy.
Complex regional pain syndrome) are more likely to be CIDP. (TIPs
for patients)
Diabetic neuropathy is likely to be CIDP. The spinal tap may
show a rise in the protein level of the spinal fluid.
Electromyography with nerve conduction studies may show slowing of
EMG/NCV. This nerve study will be normal when the small fibers
(autonomic nerves) are involved. Autonomic involvement cause
feelings of (Pain and burning). The course of CIDP is remitting
relapsing, it gets better and then worse again. Rarely the attacks
come once a month, or couple of months apart."
Dr King Engle speaking at CIDPUSA meeting said a normal EMG/NCV
does not rule out CIDP.
CIDP is misdiagnosed as
ALS. Due to a mix of upper and lower motor neuron lesions (brain,
spinal-cord + peripheral nerve). M.M.F. (Multifocal Motor
Neuropathy) also looks like ALS has no sensory involvement.
Autoimmune ALS will have sensory changes and I call this a CIDP
variant. Thus a false diagnose of
ALS can
be made. Dr King Engle in Los Angles has helped such patients
who came in wheelchairs and in two months were
walking. Untreated
CIDP can turn into
ALS. (ALS is a CIDP spectrum disorder)
