The Key to Overcome Auto-Immune and Chronic Inflammation from Doctor of Natural Medicine

Nov 28, 2020 12:17PM ● By Dr. Peter Amato

1 in 5 people in America are diagnosed with an Auto-Immune disorder and 1 in 10 are undiagnosed or have a medically undefined chronic condition. Autoimmune can look like many different things for many different people. Since everyone is unique, their bodies and immune response is different. Everyone responds differently to food and environmental toxins, so auto-immune is very personal.

What is Auto-Immune, really?

Western medicine describes auto immune by saying that our bodies are attacking itself, for some reason, we don’t know why. A diagnosis of auto-immune is really just a unique collection of symptoms. They are the signals that your body is sending to you to let you know that something is not right. It has lost the ability to heal and keep you healthy. Western medicine and the pharmaceutical industry are about symptom management. They only know how to manage and quieten your symptoms and not get to the root cause of the problem. 

Toxicity Causes Inflammation 

Chronic inflammation usually leads to an Auto-Immune response. Acute inflammation is a healthy immune response, it is when inflammation becomes chronic that our immune system weakens, and our health deteriorates. When our bodies absorb toxins our immune systems respond in order to protect us from these harmful invaders. We absorb toxic chemicals every day and you may be surprised as to where these toxic chemicals are hiding in our everyday eating products and environment. 

What are toxins? 

  • Toxins are harmful added chemicals and heavy metals that are harmful to our health.  

Where do we find toxins?

  • Food & Water Supply

Most of the American food supply is treated with pesticides specifically Glyphosate, also known as RoundUp and our water supply is full of heavy metals like fluoride and arsenic. 

  • Beauty Products

Parabens and formaldehyde are used in most skin care products and aluminum is hiding in most deodorants. 

Detoxing is the Key Solution to Tackle Auto-Immune   

Removing toxins from the body is known as detoxing.  Holistic detoxing will reset our vital organs and reduce inflammation in our bodies. 

Our kidneys, liver, gallbladder and lymphatic system are the organs we rely on to detox our bodies naturally, but these organs are not getting the proper nutritional support to detox the overload of toxic chemicals we encounter regularly every day.  Additionally, our food supply is full of chemicals which prevents us from absorbing the much-needed nutrients that our bodies need to keep our immune system strong.  Holistic immune boosting and detoxing are key elements to heal chronic inflammation and prevent auto-immune diseases.
