If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and are
struggling with the pain, the discomfort and the frustration, know that
you are not alone!
To date, there are about 100 known autoimmune illnesses, impacting
up to 50 million Americans, according to the American Autoimmune
Related Diseases Association (AARDA), and that number is on the rise.
Just being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease can be confusing
and scary, if not totally overwhelming...
Sadly, according to our current, conventional medical system, there appears to be no cure,
so treatment for autoimmune diseases focuses on relieving the symptoms...
But the most commonly used treatments often lead to devastating side effects!
And according to AARDA, it takes an average of nearly five years (and five doctors!) for a patient
to receive a diagnosis, and in the meantime they often end up consulting multiple specialists
for all their symptoms: a dermatologist, an endocrinologist, an immunologist, a neurologist, a
rheumatologist...
Patients are often told by their doctors, "There's nothing wrong with you," or, "You're just a
little run down."
This leads to a lot of frustration, overwhelm and stress that only makes these issues worse.
But here's the good news:
YOU may have more power to improve your health than you realize!
