Caroline- it's important to better understand health conditions you do not have personally before making generalized comments about them. It can be very confusing for people seeking help, when the comment does not correctly address what they are dealing with, and can actually be contrary to what would normally be medically advised for them.

As Lara tried to explain to you, in autoimmune illness, people don't want to make their immune system "strong" - in fact the usual treatments involve suppressing the immune system in order to prevent the body from attacking itself.
