A lot of good information here. Thank you! Last night was a rough one, as you can tell, but I stayed up most of the night researching autoimmune diseases and what I have come to find true is that once an autoimmune disease occurs, the body is 3 times more likely to develop another one. Hence several existing at once. Right?

That got me looking at materials about "healing" the immune system. Leaky gut, toxins, infections, gluten and grains. What are your thoughts on this? Can the immune system really be healed through diet, fixing the gut, ridding toxins, and resolving existing infections? I found a few approaches that were very against medications such as NSAIDS and immunosuppressants and seemed to be very adamant that one can ditch medication and turn their immune system around, essentially switching "off" the genes that caused the immune system to turn against the body.

Any thoughts on this?
