An Autoimmune Disease Does NOT Mean Forever

So, you have been told by your health professional that you have an autoimmune disease and you will need to be medicated for the rest of your life?

I speak from experience when I say "Baloney! that is not so!". I used to suffer with an autoimmune condition, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but no longer do. No antibodies and a healthy TSH of 1.8. You would want to hope that the Naturopath you see is on top of her own health, wouldn't you? I also have several clients who no longer suffer with autoimmune diseases after following my direction.

Autoimmune disease doesn't just happen by chance, There is always a sequelae of events that result in a hyper immune response. This can be triggered by a virus, poor diet, stress, trauma, violence. It can be exacerbated by a Leaky Gut and will likely require gut healing, herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle advice as well as some introspection, so that you can move forward and beyond your illness. Clearly if we work on these triggers and educate you on diet and lifestyle, then we can go back to before the diagnosis. Nothing happens by chance, my friends. Nothing.

Hippocrates once said "all disease begins with the gut" and I know that your gut integrity plays a huge part in your fatigue, burnout, autoimmune disease and even cancer! 

There are many different auto-immune diseases nowadays and all of them cause inflammation to some area, or all areas of the body. Some you might have heard of are -

 
*Graves Disease

 *Hashimoto's

 *Lupus

 *Crohn's Disease

 *Ulcerative Colitis

 *Sjogren's Syndrome

 *Rheumatoid Arthritis

 *Fibromyalgia and more.

In fact, there are new conditions being diagnosed quite regularly. Have you ever wondered why? Why are there more auto-immune diseases now? Well, in that question lies some of the answers to treatment. There is strong evidence that childhood traumatic events significantly impact the inflammatory immune system. This is why we offer a multivalent healthcare approach to heal the body and attend to the mind.  We make provision for the WHOLE person in their full physical, psychological and social nature.

Naturopaths do not treat conditions, rather they treat people with conditions. You are different to your neighbour, your brother, your wife, and as such you need to be treated with individualised medicine. Treatment needs to take into account all that came before, all that is current and your ability to go forward. That is why we spend up to ninety minutes at your very first consultation - to get to know you. 

So we can make you well again!
