chiropractic adjusting tableAutoimmunity is one of the most diagnosed medical conditions in America. It goes by many names, such as Hashimoto’s, Grave’s Disease, Type I Diabetes Mellitus, Endometriosis, Rheumatism, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, Celiac Disease, PFAPA, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Myasthenia Gravis, Multiple Sclerosis, and hundreds of other conditions.

These are just names to group body systems involved along with specific symptoms. None of these names give the patient an answer to their problem besides what their disease is.

The most important question a doctor can answer about an auto-immune condition is: what is causing the body to attack itself? This is the question that is practically never answered by the medical specialists. Yet without the answer to that question, the patient will never be able to successfully eliminate the autoimmunity health issue.

What Is Autoimmunity?

A simple definition that holds true: Autoimmunity is the body’s inability to interpret a foreign substance, an emotion, or its own tissue correctly due to a neuro-sensitivity insult, which results in an out-of-control immune system response. This response often involves hormones as well due to the interconnection and re-entrance loops that exist between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. If the brain could be taught to interpret correctly whatever stimulus is causing this dysfunctional reaction, it would not be in an autoimmune state. After all, it is just that simple.

How to Retrain the Brain

To accomplish this, the brain would have to be introduced to the physical, chemical, or emotional stimulus that it is interpreting as foreign, and then re-wired to believe it is not a threat. Does the medical world have the capabilities to do this? Only a therapist working with emotional trauma does, no other medical provider even thinks of this as a possibility. Does the holistic health world have the capabilities to do this? Yes!

Desensitization of the stimulus exists in many forms. There are many techniques to help with the condition of autoimmunity. The underlying problem in autoimmunity is obstructions to the two primary types of energy flow which must be unimpeded for normal function: nervous system energy and vital organ meridian energy. If these energies are in balance, then there are no such things as autoimmunity because the body will interpret all incoming stimuli correctly, and not overreact due to a perceived threat.

On the other hand, if these energies are out of balance, then obstruction to healing and regulation occur, which may manifest as autoimmunity. The reason why the medical world cannot figure out the cause in a patient who has an autoimmune condition, is because they do not look at these diagnostic pathways. They are not trained to do so. Functional Medicine Providers come closer than a traditional MD, yet some may still lack in philosophy and diagnostic skills needed to discover root cause issues with so much dependence on laboratory findings.

The Re.A.L.™ Approach

With Re.A.L™ Technique, we can diagnose the physical, chemical, or emotional causes to obstruction in healing and regulation, which may be manifesting as autoimmunity. Once we find the obstruction, we are then able to reprogram the brain to interpret inputs correctly. We do this through chiropractic adjustments combined with neuro-sensitivity treatments.
