Hey, recently I received some information from the Autoimmune Association. They are wanting a donation to further the cure for autoimmune diseases. Pretty typical!
They are based out of East Detroit, Michigan.
I have hypothyroidisim. My mother had it. So I'm not surprised I have it. Well, I've taken prescription thyroid replacement since 2001. That's not the only answer, even though my medical doctor seems to think that's the only thing she can give me.
Since then, I've seen a naturpath and learned I need a whole lot more than just thyroid replacement pills.
Here's some statistics on autoimmune diseases.
23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases and the prevalence is rising.
Cancer affects up to 9 million people.
Heart disease affects 22 million people.
Wow! Unbelievable! Why are so many Americans sick. Did you realize this? Do you see the impact of the sickness industry. Do you believe our healthcare system is seeking to resolve the problems in Americans? EVERYONE is sick in America!!!!!!!!
Autoimmune diseases is one of the top 10 leading causes of death in CHILDREN AND WOMEN under 65 and represents some $100 billion in annual direct health care costs. WOW!
There are 80 know autoimmune disease and an additional 40 diseases that are suspected to be autoimmune-related.
These diseases affect nearly every organ of our body. The immune system mistakenly recognizes the body's own proteins as foreign invaders and begins producing antibodies that attack healthy cells and tissues, causing a variety of diseases.
