Autoimmune disease
Auto-aggressive diseases are a particular challenge in medical practice.
At first glance, they seem to be a contradiction of nature, because normally the body does not attack its own cells.
Patients with auto-aggressive tendencies must be treated completely differently, as different rules apply to these conditions.
Autoimmune diseases are an umbrella term for all illnesses caused by an excessive reaction of the immune system against the body’s own tissues.
This leads to severe inflammatory reactions and consequently to damage in the affected organs, because the immune system mistakenly perceives the body’s own tissue as a foreign invader that must be fought.
Causes of Autoimmune Diseases
Despite intensive research, the exact cause of autoimmune diseases is still unclear. The likely causes include:- A genetic predisposition
- The promotion of autoimmune processes due to too little exposure to bacteria in the environment (hygiene hypothesis)
- Faulty processes in the thymus gland during the selection of T-cells
- A pathogen that closely resembles the structure of the body’s own tissue triggers the onset of an autoimmune disease (molecular mimicry)
Classification of Autoimmune Diseases
Hundreds of autoimmune diseases are known. It must be assumed that practically any organ or tissue can become the target of an autoimmune disorder. Here are some examples of diseases and the affected tissue:- Alopecia areata – hair
- Ulcerative colitis – colon or rectum
- Type I diabetes mellitus – beta cells of the pancreas
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis – thyroid gland
- Lupus erythematosus – internal organs and skin
- Crohn’s disease – digestive tract
- Ankylosing spondylitis – spine, iris
- Multiple sclerosis – myelin sheaths in the central nervous system
- Psoriasis – skin
- Rheumatoid arthritis – connective tissue of joints, tendons
- Sarcoidosis (Boeck’s disease) – lymph nodes, lungs, connective tissue
- Scleroderma – connective tissue under the skin
- Vitiligo – melanocytes
Conventional Medical Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases
Since the causes of autoimmune diseases are not known, causal therapy is not possible. Autoimmune diseases can therefore only be treated symptomatically, meaning anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive approaches. The basic principle of symptomatic therapy is to reduce the activity of the immune system by administering immunosuppressants, such as cortisone. However, this often leads to unwanted and sometimes severe side effects.Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases in Clinical Practice
A possible genetic predisposition cannot, of course, be influenced. However, for all other likely causes, we can intervene quite effectively – especially with the help of Trikombin frequency therapy:- Since about 80% of the immune system is located in the gut, improving gut health is a crucial prerequisite for healing.
- Experience shows that a key success factor lies in detoxification and treatment of the thymus gland, so that it can once again fully perform its role in the maturation of T-cells.
- Allergies to specific pathogens must be treated, and in addition, the pathogens must be decoupled from the affected organ.
- And last but not least, it is essential to eliminate as many physical and psychological stress factors as possible. In practice, we can treat physical stressors (allergies, heavy metals, environmental toxins); but it is just as important that you address psychological stress triggers (e.g., sleep habits, nutrition, exposure to electromagnetic fields, lack of grounding, learning relaxation techniques, etc.).
