1. Type 1
diabetes
The pancreas produces the hormone
insulin, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. In type 1 diabetes mellitus, the immune system attacks and
destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
High blood sugar results can lead to
damage in the blood vessels, as well as organs like the heart, kidneys, eyes,
and nerves.
2. Rheumatoid
arthritis (RA)
In rheumatoid
arthritis (RA), the immune system attacks the joints. This attack
causes redness, warmth, soreness, and stiffness in the joints.
Unlike osteoarthritis,
which commonly affects people as they get older, RA can start as early as
your 30s or sooner.
3.
Psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis
Skin cells normally grow and then shed
when they’re no longer needed. Psoriasis causes skin
cells to multiply too quickly. The extra cells build up and form inflamed red
patches, commonly with silver-white scales of plaque on the skin.
Up to 30 percent of
people with psoriasis also develop swelling, stiffness, and pain in their
joints. This form of the disease is called psoriatic
arthritis.
4. Multiple
sclerosis
Multiple
sclerosis (MS) damages the myelin sheath, the protective
coating that surrounds nerve cells, in your central nervous system. Damage to
the myelin sheath slows the transmission speed of messages between your brain
and spinal cord to and from the rest of your body.
This damage can lead to symptoms like
numbness, weakness, balance issues, and trouble walking. The disease comes in
several forms that progress at different rates. According to a 2012 studyTrusted
Source, about 50 percent of people with MS need help walking within
15 years after the disease starts.
5. Systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE)
Although doctors in
the 1800s first described lupus as
a skin disease because of the rash it commonly produces, the systemic form,
which is most the common, actually affects many organs, including the joints,
kidneys, brain, and heart.
Joint pain, fatigue, and rashes are
among the most common symptoms.
6. Inflammatory
bowel disease
Inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD) is a term used to describe conditions that
cause inflammation in the lining of the intestinal wall. Each type of IBD
affects a different part of the GI tract.
- Crohn’s
disease can inflame any part of the GI tract, from the
mouth to the anus.
- Ulcerative
colitisaffects only the lining of the large intestine (colon)
and rectum.
7. Addison’s
disease
Addison’s
disease affects the adrenal glands, which produce the hormones
cortisol and aldosterone as well as androgen hormones. Having too little of
cortisol can affect the way the body uses and stores carbohydrates and sugar
(glucose). Deficiency of aldosterone will lead to sodium loss and excess
potassium in the bloodstream.
Symptoms include weakness, fatigue,
weight loss, and low blood sugar.
8. Graves’
disease
Graves’ disease attacks
the thyroid gland in the neck, causing it to produce too much of its hormones.
Thyroid hormones control the body’s energy usage, known as metabolism.
Having too much of these hormones revs
up your body’s activities, causing symptoms like nervousness, a fast heartbeat,
heat intolerance, and weight loss.
One potential symptom of this disease
is bulging eyes, called exophthalmos.
It can occur as a part of what is called Graves’ ophthalmopathy, which occurs
in around 30 percent of those who have Graves’ disease, according to a 1993 studyTrusted
Source.
9. Sjögren’s
syndrome
This condition attacks the glands that
provide lubrication to the eyes and mouth. The hallmark symptoms of Sjögren’s
syndrome are dry eyes and dry mouth, but it may also affect the
joints or skin.
10. Hashimoto’s
thyroiditis
In Hashimoto’s
thyroiditis, thyroid hormone production slows to a deficiency.
Symptoms include weight gain, sensitivity to cold, fatigue, hair loss, and
swelling of the thyroid (goiter).
11. Myasthenia
gravis
Myasthenia
gravis affects nerve impulses that help the brain control the
muscles. When the communication from nerves to muscles is impaired, signals
can’t direct the muscles to contract.
The most common symptom is muscle
weakness that gets worse with activity and improves with rest. Often muscles
that control eye movements, eyelid opening, swallowing, and facial movements
are involved.
12. Autoimmune
vasculitis
Autoimmune vasculitis happens when the
immune system attacks blood vessels. The inflammation that results narrows the
arteries and veins, allowing less blood to flow through them.
13. Pernicious
anemia
This condition causes deficiency of a
protein, made by stomach lining cells, known as intrinsic factor that is needed
in order for the small intestine to absorb vitamin B-12 from
food. Without enough of this vitamin, one will develop an anemia, and the
body’s ability for proper DNA synthesis will be altered.
Pernicious
anemia is more common in older adults. According to a 2012 study, it affects 0.1 percent of people in general, but
nearly 2 percent of people over age 60.
14. Celiac
disease
People with celiac
disease can’t eat foods containing gluten, a protein found in
wheat, rye, and other grain products. When gluten is in the small intestine,
the immune system attacks this part of the gastrointestinal tract and causes
inflammation.
Scope
of Homeopathy in Autoimmune
Disease
Homeopathy has a good prospective
role of treatment in the autoimmune disease as because homeopathy treatment is
not only based on the disease symptoms alone but the person’s psychological and
emotional symptoms also taken care which are otherwise known as the root
trigger factors for the development of the disease. Every individual has its
own trigger factors either in his psychological level or emotional level or
physical level or genetic level.
Homeopathy treatment finds the thread of root cause of the triggers factors and treat accordingly, thus helps to bring back the equilibrium of the body’s immune system in a natural way to normal state thus may help to cure the auto immune diseases. For example a person of having psychological trauma in past life like death of any of his/her nearest or dearest one and that makes him/her to a depressive state and in the course of time develops irritability and after a few years develops psoriasis. So a homeopath takes the detail symptoms not only about the psoriasis symptoms of the person but his/her past life event of any psychological trauma and his/her present irritability nature and basing on all those symptoms the medicine is choose and if given can able to cure the disease. So there are not same set of medicines for a particular disease which can be repeated for every patient.

But at the same time the general management therapy whatever is
required for the patient should be kept continued along with homeopathy
treatment. You can contact me in my clinic at Contact no.–7303608800
