Understanding Auto Immune Disorders Charlotte

By Jeffrey Robinson


The immune system protects the body against diseases and other infections. This helps it to stay healthy and fight off infections that seek to weaken it. However, those with auto immune disorders Charlotte have their immune system attacking other healthy cells in the same body mostly by mistake. These diseases can affect a number of parts in the body. There is no sure cause of what causes this anomaly and to date nobody can state definitely, what the main culprit is.

Studies indicate a strong correlation existing between closely related members and this condition. Women are more susceptible especially those of certain ancestry including Hispanic-Americans, African-American and Native-American. There are over eighty different types of disorders. However, some have similar signs and symptoms. This is what makes it hard for the caregiver to find out exactly what is wrong. The diagnoses are frustrating and stressful.

Some of the firsts symptoms experienced are fatigue, low fever and muscle aches. The best symptom used to diagnose one of these disorders is inflammation. This causes redness, pain, heat and swelling. They may cause flare-ups if they get worse. In the same fashion, remissions occur when one gets better. The treatment often depends on which disease one has but the main goal is the reduction of inflammation. The doctor in Charlotte, NC, may prescribe corticosteroids and other related drugs in an effort to reduce immune response.

The main cause of these disorders is a biochemical process called systemic inflammation. This process makes the body defense systems attack other tissues. The unfortunate thing is that there is no definite way of determining friend and foe so the whole system gets confused. This is a result of molecular mimicry. Today there is no surety of finding the real cause of this condition. The most progressive medicine can only map the molecule that is mimicked.

As soon as then body starts attacking cells and tissues, there is no clear way for it to properly differentiate local and foreign ones. The vigor with which it attacks them is so huge that it soon reaches the brain, thyroid, gut, skin and joints. Eventually it will weaken the whole system and end up resulting to death or severe sickness.

What is interesting is the discovery that this condition is only limited to the developed nations. Individuals from third word states never suffer from these diseases. These is in spite of the poor living conditions and lack of important amenities like washing machines, clean tap water, clean toilets that flush as well as a sterile backyard. Those who grew up in farms or around dirt do not suffer from these conditions too.

The unfortunate thing is that many of the conventionally known treatments today make patients feel worse. The anti-inflammatory drugs such as advil, steroids, Enbrel, Remicade and other immune suppressants including methotrexate lead to other worse diseases. Severe symptoms include kidney failure, intestinal bleeding, psychosis, depression, osteoporosis, diabetes, muscle loss and cancer.

The disorders have become a huge burden in Charlotte, NC and the rest of the developed nations. They are one of the ten leading causes of death especially among women. They can shorten the lifespan of victims by up to eight years. The medicines should be used selectively and the root cause of the real problem identified to effectively heal a patient.
