Autoimmunity Explained: When Your Immune System Attacks YOU

There's over 100 different autoimmune conditions. And then every few years, we hear about more and more autoimmune components to this and to that, the things that we weren't even classified a decade ago as autoimmune. So if you break that word down, auto, that prefix, self, immune, it's when the immune system turns against itself at that seminal event within autoimmunity called molecular mimicry, that case of mistaken identity when the immune system is tagging antibodies, flags for destruction to destroy. So we can go on and on, but that molecular mimicry is that connective mechanism within all autoimmunity. And then you think of how researchers even describe molecular mimicry. It says they describe it as the immune system losing recognition of self. Would you think about that? On a physiological level, that's happening. But then you think on a mental, emotional, spiritual level.
