Profound Yet Overlooked

Do you suffer from a chronic health condition like pain, fatigue, depression, brain fog, anxiety, stiff muscles, vertigo or various neurological symptoms, liver problems, blood sugar problems, vitamin deficiency, seizures, hyper/hypothyroid, digestive symptoms, and/or hormone imbalance?  Has your chronic health condition been unresponsive to all other treatments?  If so, you may have autoimmunity. Undiagnosed autoimmunity is a profound yet overlooked cause of persistent health problems.  How common is autoimmunity?   

"One in twelve Americans - and one in nine women will develop an autoimmune disorder. And since it is clear that not every patient with an autoimmune disease is correctly diagnosed, the prevalence is certainly higher than that. The American Heart Association estimates by comparison, only one in twenty Americans will have coronary heart disease. Similarly, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, one in fourteen American adults will have cancer at some time in their life. This means that an American is more likely to get an autoimmune disease than either cancer or heart disease."

What is autoimmunity?  How does one get diagnosed with autoimmunity?  Check out my website for more information. http://www.functionalneuro.com/autoimmunity.html  I will be discussing the use of autoantibody tests to diagnose and predict autoimmunity in the future.  

Yours in health, Dr. Chris Caffery
