Autoimmunity & Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmunity is when our immune system mounts an attack against our own organs and glands–the very tissues it’s supposed to protect from foreign invaders! Regardless which tissue is attacked, the mechanism is the same–the immune system gone awry.

Autoimmune disease is... 

• The #2 cause of chronic illness in the U.S.
• The #3 leading cause of Social Security disability after heart disease and cancer
• The eighth leading cause of death in women
• Over 20 million people in the U.S. have autoimmune disease and 75% are women
• Because symptoms often wax and wane, the average autoimmune sufferer sees 6 doctors before being diagnosed and 50% are initially told “There’s nothing wrong with you” and are labeled a hypochondriac
• Over the last 30 years, rates of autoimmunity have increased twofold to threefold. Experts agree that the onslaught of environmental toxicity is partly to blame, with 70,000 to 80,000 toxic chemicals now in use in agriculture, industry, personal care products, household products, etc.

There is no known cure for autoimmune disease in traditional care which is effective. The conventional medical treatment for autoimmune disorders is treating inflammation with steroids that suppress the immune system but do not address the cause of the reactivity. 

The good news is that Dr. Corey for the past 10 years has utilized effective functional integrative health and specific natural protocols to modulate the immune system and help his clients overcome the destruction of autoimmunity.  He does this through a thorough consultation, proper lab testing, specific functional supplementation, neutralizing and removing toxins and lifestyle modifications.  With our natural protocols we have helped our patients with autoimmune disorders experience improved health and remission.
