	Autoimmune Disease
		Examples are: auto-immune mediated hemolytic anemia, where the target is on the surface of the red blood cell; myesthenia gravis where the target is the acetylcholine receptor in the neuromuscular junction; hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s) where the targets are the cells of the adrenal gland.
		Diseases arising from a deficiency in complement: When an antigen and antibody react they may activate a series of serum enzymes (the complement system) whose end result is either the lysis (breakup) of the antigen molecule or to make it easier for phagocytic cells like the macrophages to destroy it.
		Hypoadrenocorticism (Addison’s disease): The adrenal gland produces hormones which regulate the level of sodium and potassium (mineralocorticoids) and mediate the body’s response to physiologic and psychologic stress (corticosteroids).

	Autoimmunity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Now, it is accepted that autoimmune responses are vital to the development and functioning of vertebrate immune systems, and central to the development of immunological tolerance to self-antigens.
		An essential prerequisite for the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is indeed the breakage of immunological tolerance, which is the ability of an individual to differentiate 'self' from 'non-self'.
		The main genetic loci involved in the body's immune system include the genes for immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors, both of which are involved in the recognition of antigens, and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen system.

		A process in which the body's immune system causes illness by mistakenly attacking healthy cells, organs, or tissues in the body that are essential to good health.
		Multiple sclerosis is believed to be an autoimmune disease, along with systematic lupus erythematosus, juvenile diabetes, myasthenia gravis, scleroderma, Graves disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

	Auto Immune Disorders
		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.
		If the autoimmune disease attacks are insidious and attack organs such as the joints in rheumatoid arthritis, conventional medicine tries to suppress the whole immune system using powerful drugs often with many potential side effects such as NSAIDs, prednisone, methotrexate, plaquenil, arava or a combination of these.
		Immune Diseases can be divided into those characterised by T Helper Cell 1 (TH1) or T Helper Cell 2 (TH2) dominance.

	Auto-Immune Disorders
		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.
		It makes more sense to us to determine why the immune system is on the attack than to simply try to stop the immune system's function with drugs, as is the accepted methodology today.
		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.

	Autoimmune (auto immune) disease - auto-immunity information
		Autoimmune diseases are chronic degenerative and/or inflammatory conditions that result from abnormal immune reactions to compounds absorbed from the environment.

	Auto Immune Disease
		The malfunctioning immune system is a major problem in autoimmune diseases so let’s first look at why the immune system starts having problems and what those problems are.
		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.
		If your body loses its proper immune protection and its friendly intestinal bacteria have been destroyed by antibiotics or whatever, candida can overgrow as it is not killed by antibiotics and “morph” from being a beneficial yeast into a harmful fungus.
