The connection between gut health and autoimmunity.

​
​​For thousands of years Chinese medicine has identified the gut as being one of the primary players in autoimmune disease.  

A recent study out of Yale examined how one particular infection can trigger autoimmunity.

“Bacteria found in the small intestines of mice and humans can travel to other organs and trigger an autoimmune response, read more here.”

Our standard testing protocol at San Francisco Integrative Medicine goes far beyond testing for just this bacteria identified in the study.  The medical scientific community has now identified multiple infections related to autoimmunity, as well as ratios of healthy bacteria that when disrupted to trigger our own immune systems to attack us.

In order to reverse and heal autoimmune disease the pathogenic infections need to be identified, cleared without disturbing normal flora, and a healthy biome supported.  

If you would like to take action on your autoimmune condition, schedule a phone consult to discuss your unique situation.
