		When the immune system attacks any tissue, a cascade of inflammatory substances is released, such as cytokines and interleukins that can cause several disruptions in normal function, such as pain and swelling.
		Sjögren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva.
		This is because today's "immune system specialists" are not able to determine what the "foreign" body is, and often dismiss the importance of toxic heavy metals and pathogens as the underlying cause.

	Auto Immune System - Page 1
		The immune system is one of the most complex systems in the human body, and the study of the immune system (immunology) is one of the most dynamic fields of study involving the human body.
		The immune system is composed of the lymphatic vessels and organs (thymus gland, spleen, adrenals, lymph nodes, tonsils and adenoids), white blood cells (lymphocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, etc.), specialized cells residing in various tissues (macrophages, mast cells, etc.) and specialized serum factors (including interferon, interleukin II and complement).
		The immune system includes every defense mechanism in the body, but it is more accurate to limit this system to two general types of biochemical reactions that result in an immune response to "attacks" from foreign or invading substances (or what are commonly referred to as "infections").

	Auto Immune System - Page 2
		The dysfunction of the immune system is generally caused by a failure of the T-cells, which usually follows the deterioration of the thymus gland.
		It is also associated with decreased immune status, as evidenced by the decreased bacteria-killing activity of the neutrophils, as well as increased morbidity and mortality from infections.
		Inasmuch as stress reduces immune function, the deliberate reduction of stress through relaxation exercises may decidedly influence the discouragement of disease or the altering of its course in the body.

	What's Hot: Auto-Immune Illnesses
		Immune cells are on constant alert looking for a foreign marker- the antigen- that marks bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other substances that invade the body.
		In rheumatoid arthritis the immune system causes painful swelling and stiffness of the joints, while in lupus, which affects mostly young women, the immune system attacks many organs causing rashes, kidney damage, fluid around the lungs, and inflamed lungs.
		Why these diseases cluster is under research, but it is thought that the immune system of some people attacks related tissues and the lining of the stomach and intestines, related glands and organs, the pancreas, thyroid gland and gastric parietal cells, all in the embryo from a layer of cells called the endoderm.

	Auto immune Disorders
		Antigens are destroyed by the immune response, which includes production of antibodies (molecules that attach to the antigen and make it more susceptible to destruction) and sensitized lymphocytes (specialized white blood cells that recognize and destroy particular antigens).
		Immune system disorders occur when the immune response is inappropriate, excessive, or lacking.
		The goal is to reduce the immune response against normal body tissue while leaving intact the immune response against micro-organisms and abnormal tissues.

	Immunologic Diseases -- Autoimmune Diseases
		hen the immune system mistakes self tissues for nonself and mounts an inappropriate attack, the result is an autoimmune disease.
		Our immune system is a complex network of specialized cells and organs that has evolved to defend the body against attacks by "foreign" invaders.
		Scientists are searching for ways to prevent and treat these diseases by studying the immune system factors, the role of genetics, and the possible role of infectious agents.

	Autoimmune Disorders
		Over a lifetime, the immune system develops an extensive library of identified substances and microorganisms that are cataloged as “threat” or “not threat.” Vaccinations utilize this process to add to the library.
		Normally, the immune system can distinguish between “self” and “not self” and only attacks those tissues that it recognizes as “not self.” This is usually the desired response, but not always.
		In a few types of autoimmune disease (such as rheumatic fever), a bacteria or virus triggers an immune response, and the antibodies or T-cells attack normal cells because they have some part of their structure that resembles a part of the structure of the infecting microorganism.

	Autoimmune disorders
		A condition in which the immune system attacks a receptor on the surface of muscle cells, preventing the muscle from receiving nerve impulses and resulting in severe muscle weakness.
		The purpose of the immune system is to defend the body against attack by infectious microbes (germs) and foreign objects.
		Conversely, if the immune system cells do not recognize the cell as "self," they attach themselves to it and put out a signal that the body has been invaded, which in turn stimulates the production of substances such as antibodies that engulf and destroy the foreign particles.

	Auto Immune
		These are a large number of diseases caused by the body mistakenly mounting an immune response against one or more of the bodies own tissues.
		The best known auto immune disease is rheumatoid arthritis, in which the immune system wrong headedly attacks the joints causing pain, swelling and ultimately crippling of severely affected joints.
		Immune Diseases can be divided into those characterised by T Helper Cell 1 (TH1) or T Helper Cell 2 (TH2) dominance.

		A damaged immune system leaves our bodies susceptible to more sickness and infection than normal, but also leaves us more vulnerable to serious conditions such as cancer.
		The immune system normally can distinguish "self" from "non-self." Even so, some lymphocytes are capable of reacting against self, resulting in an autoimmune reaction.

		At the heart of the system is the ability to recognize and respond to substances called antigens whether they are infectious agents or part of the body (self antigens) Most immune system cells are white blood cells of which there are many types.

	What is Autoimmune Disease?
		The immune system is made up of white blood cells, organs and structures whose mission it is to identify and destroy disease causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
		There are however three common characteristics that all white blood cells have: each contain a nucleus, each primarily serves an immune function, and each white blood cell is believed to be produced by the same parent cell called the stem cell in the bone marrow.
		The immune system is able to identify intruding organisms as being foreign because the protein chain, antigen, of the organism is different from self cells.

		The immune system is a marvelous defense network of white blood cells, antibodies, and other substances used to fight off infections and reject foreign proteins.
		In all these diseases, the defective immune system fails to protect the body, leaving it vulnerable and open to attack by an opportunistic infection.
		In this situation, the ability of the immune system to recognize the "self" marker is lost, and it begins to attack and reject the body's own tissue as foreign.

	Auto Immune Disease
		Even when mycoplasma and viral infections deliberately confuse and overactivate the immune system, which may happen quite often, the question remains as to why the immune cells attack cells they are supposed to be protecting.
		This tricks the immune system into activating Th-2 cells instead of the Th-1 cells that are supposed to activate and kill these viruses.
		As you can see, balancing the immune system so that it works the way it is supposed to is a fundamental need when you have an autoimmune condition.

		The goal is to modify the aberrant, inflammatory immune response that is characteristic of autoimmune diseases [15, 19].
		The first strategy is to block the actions of an inflammatory cytokine (secreted by certain activated immune cells and inflamed tissues) by transferring a gene into cells that encodes a "decoy" receptor for that cytokine.
		In many animal studies, promising results have been achieved by using these approaches, and the studies have advanced understanding of the disease processes and the particular inflammatory cytokines involved in disease progression [15, 19].
