Book excerpt: ARTHRITIS and AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE: THE INFECTION CONNECTION Finding and Treating the Many Causes of Chronic Fatigue and Inflammation Third Updated, Revised, and Expanded Edition of "Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Infection Connection" Appendix: Physician's Protocol for Treating Rheumatic Disease by Dr. Joseph Mercola, D.O. (mercola.com) Appendix: Treatment for Chronic Illnesses and Autoimmune Diseases by Dr. Garth Nicolson (immed.org) 2013 Eric Hoffer Award finalist: health category. A professional health researcher, scientist, systems engineer, and former Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) sufferer presents proven benign treatments for symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions. In This Book You Will Discover: » How microorganisms cause autoimmune diseases like RA: bacteria, mycoplasmas, viruses, molds, spirochetes, fungi, and more; » Their role in other illnesses characterized by Inflammation and Chronic Fatigue such as Arthritis, MS, Lyme Disease, Diabetes, Autism, COPD, and gut disorders; » How slow-growing persistent infections lead to premature aging and Alzheimer's; » Ways to suppress these pathogens and destroy the toxins they produce; » How to control allergies that trigger histamine reactions; » Ways suggested by clinicians to strengthen the immune system using diet and other natural, non-toxic methods; » Pointers to our ongoing medical research on our website and to other Internet sites for resources, support groups, and study citations. » Persistent infections caused by microbes that invade epithelial and immune cells, causing or exacerbating many rheumatic and so-called autoimmune conditions and diseases. In 2002 there were 59 recognized autoimmune diseases. A decade later the list numbered 109, with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and COPD recently added. The list is growing. Inflammatory autoimmune diseases are caused and/or complicated by persistent, shape-changing microbes, toxins, vaccines, and inadequate nutrition. A few examples are: Allergies (food and environmental); ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease); Alzheimer's; Autoimmune and rheumatic conditions; Autism/ASD; Arthritis (all forms-rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, psoriatic, reactive, septic, Ankylosing Spondylitis, juvenile RA, gout, and many more): Carpal Tunnel; Bursitis (and tendonitis); CFS/CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome); Fibromyalgia (including backache and muscle pain); Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD); Gulf War Illness; Gut imbalance (many forms-diabetes, diverticulitis, dysbiosis, IBS, colitis, leaky gut, Crohn's disease, ulcers); Heart and circulatory conditions (atherosclerosis); Hepatitis; Lupus; Lyme Disease; Malaria; Meningitis; Multiple Sclerosis; Psychiatric disorders (bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, dementia); encephalitis; Respiratory Tract (asthma, bronchitis, COPD); Sarcoidosis; Scleroderma; sleep disorders; thyroid diseases; Metabolic Syndrome; Tuberculosis; Urinary Tract illness (cystitis, prostatitis). Nutrition, antibiotics, probiotics, and immune system-managing drugs can be used in combination to control allergies and inflammation. » Dr Mercola's nutrition-based regimen and Dr. Brown's low-dose, long-term tetracycline antibiotic protocol is described in detail, with updates since the prior edition. » Web pointers are provided to descriptions of other successful, multi-antibiotic, and nutritional protocols. » This book provides the latest information on alternative medical treatments that supplement conventional treatments for controlling and eliminating chronic infections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empowers women to make informed decisions about autoimmune disorders More than 50 million Americans, most of them women, suffer from a constellation of mysterious, often misdiagnosed diseases that can result in disability, disfigurement, and death. Called "autoimmune diseases," they arise when the immune system attacks healthy tissues in almost any area of the body, and include lupus rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, scleroderma, and Graves' disease. Now Jill Buyon, a doctor working on the cutting edge of research into these diseases, and Rita Baron-Faust, an award-winning medical journalist, arm women with the knowledge they need to obtain accurate diagnoses and the best possible treatments. In The Autoimmune Connection readers learn about the recent groundbreaking discovery of the links between the different autoimmune diseases and why women are more likely to develop them. The authors offer the most up-to-date information on diagnosis, treatments, and risks for women with one or more autoimmune disease.

Book excerpt: This well-documented study asserts that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other chronic illnesses are caused by a microbial infection. When the infection triggers allergic reactions, it appears that the body's immune system has turned on itself. Once the cause of the infection and allergies are identified and removed, arthritis symptoms will decrease and likely disappear as long as the body's collective systems remain in balance.

This book was released on 2019-01-20 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1962 to 1971, the U.S. military sprayed herbicides over Vietnam to strip the thick jungle canopy that could conceal opposition forces, to destroy crops that those forces might depend on, and to clear tall grasses and bushes from the perimeters of US base camps and outlying fire-support bases. Mixtures of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), picloram, and cacodylic acid made up the bulk of the herbicides sprayed. The main chemical mixture sprayed was Agent Orange, a 50:50 mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. At the time of the spraying, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), the most toxic form of dioxin, was an unintended contaminant generated during the production of 2,4,5-T and so was present in Agent Orange and some other formulations sprayed in Vietnam. Because of complaints from returning Vietnam veterans about their own health and that of their children combined with emerging toxicologic evidence of adverse effects of phenoxy herbicides and TCDD, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was asked to perform a comprehensive evaluation of scientific and medical information regarding the health effects of exposure to Agent Orange, other herbicides used in Vietnam, and the various components of those herbicides, including TCDD. Updated evaluations were conducted every two years to review newly available literature and draw conclusions from the overall evidence. Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 11 (2018) examines peer-reviewed scientific reports concerning associations between various health outcomes and exposure to TCDD and other chemicals in the herbicides used in Vietnam that were published between September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2017, and integrates this information with the previously established evidence database.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mosaic of Autoimmunity: The Novel Factors of Autoimmune Diseases describes the multifactorial origin and diversity of expression of autoimmune diseases in humans. The term implies that different combinations of factors in autoimmunity produce varying and unique clinical pictures in a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases. Most of the factors involved in autoimmunity can be categorized into four groups: genetic, immune defects, hormonal and environmental factors. In this book, the environmental factors are reviewed, including infectious agents, vaccines as triggers of autoimmunity, smoking and its relationship with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid disease, multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases. An entirely new syndrome, the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), is also included, along with other diseases that are now recognized as having an autoimmune etiopathogenesis. Highlights the concept of the mosaic of autoimmune manifestations Includes new visions on unsuspected molecules Provides updated knowledge to physicians helping patients with autoimmune diseases Presents thorough, up-to-date information on specific diseases, along with clinical applications

Download or read book Rheumatoid Arthritis written by Josef S. Smolen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many advances have occurred in the last 5 years especially in understanding genetic susceptibility factors, the role of immune response in chronic arthritis and the relationship between cellular processes that underlie inflammation and tissue damage. All these are dealt with in depth in the individual contributions. Genetics studies included illustrate how studies of HLA genes and genes controlling the autoantibody repertoire may be involved. Environmental factors are believed to be important and studies both in humans and in experimental models on the role of viral and bacterial agents are covered. The fascinating relationship between microbes, dysregulated immune responses and oncogenes are also examined. Since autoimmunity is the key aspect of the immunological response in rheumatoid arthritis, the role of antigens is re-examined as is the part played by immune T and B cells. New areas of clinical application of basic science is well presented in this book, forexample, in examining how markers of cartilage destruction may become important in monitoring disease activity. A chapter reviewing possible future novel therapies is included.
