Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune Diseases are significatly a modern trend, and many may be linked to high levels of sugar and carbohydrates in our modern diet. Autoimmune diseases may also be caused by various low grade or subclinical infections. These are also called "stealth infections". The infection may be unnoticeable to the individual, but not to the person's immune system.

Common stealth infections include:

• Viral infections (Chicken pox, Mononucleosis, Herpes 1&2)
• Chlamydia pneumoniae (bacterial pneumonia, STDs)
• Mycoplasma (walking pneumonia, PID)
• Dental infections
• Spirochetal infections (as in Lyme Disease)

These infections may be contained by the immune system, however the body's immune response appears to be causing the damage to joints and other tissues. The tissue destruction associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases is the primary complaint of autoimmune suffers.

If surfact markers on some human cells are similar to makers found on an infecting bacteria, the body's immune system may attack and damage the human host. This may happen with bacterial infections as well as with viral infected cells.

To help combat such infections, Dr. Danaher recommends a diet low in carbohydrates and sugar,  be in NUCCA/upper cervical alignment and general support to increase overall health.
