Functional Medicine for Autoimmune Disease? You Bet!

The prevalence of autoimmune diseases is rising. Studies suggest that the prevalence of autoimmune disease is AT LEAST 1 in 10 people in the western world--and that is just the people that actually have a 'diagnosis.' Functional medicine approaches to autoimmunity are very effective and should be initiated BEFORE a person's autoimmune process worsens to the point of qualifying as a full-blown conventional medical diagnosis. Unless the autoimmune process reaches this level of severity, insurance companies won't approve standard and biologic pharmaceutical medications. But shouldn't these autoimmune processes be treated BEFORE reaching that level of severity? Yes, of course they should! In this episode, Dr. Jerby reviews the research that supports the use of "natural" agents in the treatment of autoimmune processes. Learn how Functional Medicine could help you if you are one of the tens of million of people with autoimmunity.
