What causes autoimmune disease?

I am frequently asked - "so, Audrey, what causes autoimmune disease?" 

My response is almost always - "it is a tree with many roots."

Let me paint a picture for you - This is what I mean by that, picture a tree where rheumatoid arthritis is the trunk, and the branches are all the different symptoms that come with it - joint pain, swelling, redness, reduced ability to move around - anything else that you experience... it is the outward appearance to you the person suffering from rheumatoid in this example OR to others who see you suffering.

Then under the ground - what people can’t see are the roots of the tree, there may be a few that poke through and are obvious from the above-ground but the majority of the roots aren’t obvious. It’s how we land at rheumatoid arthritis is not a disease of the joints - just like psoriasis isn’t a disease of the skin. It is much more than that. The joints, the skin, those are symptoms - branches if you will.

And it's those roots - those are what cause autoimmune disease. That is where you find the issue that is causing the problem and that is where you will find the cure, relief, remission. That is where you start your revolution.

What Causes Autoimmune Disease?

I am frequently asked - "so, Audrey, what causes autoimmune disease?"

My response is almost always - "it is a tree with many roots."

Let me paint a picture for you to help you understand...Picture a tree where rheumatoid arthritis (or psoriasis or insert your autoimmune condition) is the trunk, and the branches are all the different symptoms that come with it - joint pain, swelling, redness, reduced ability to move around - anything else that you experience... it is the outward appearance to you the person suffering from rheumatoid in this example OR to others who see you suffering.

Then under the ground - what people can’t see are the roots of the tree, there may be a few that poke through and are obvious from the above-ground but the majority of the roots aren’t obvious. It’s how we land at rheumatoid arthritis is not a disease of the joints - just like psoriasis isn’t a disease of the skin. It is much more than that. The joints, the skin, those are symptoms - branches if you will.

And it's those roots - those are what causes autoimmune disease. That is where you find the issue that is causing the problem and that is where you will find the cure, relief, remission. That is where you start your revolution.

Are you making your autoimmune condition worse?

Raise your hand - answer me out loud - what comes up when I say your autoimmune disease is not a disease of the outward symptoms? And what if I told you that treating it as such - actually makes your condition worse and causes additional autoimmune diseases to start.
