Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and lupus, involve destruction of healthy cells by the body’s own defensive mechanism. If the immune system’s error in judgment is not corrected, the attack can progress to the heart, lungs, and other vital organs.
The mechanism that causes the deregulation of the immune response is not entirely understood. Heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut syndrome, infectious bacteria and parasites, and nutritional imbalances can weaken the body so that the immune system becomes overloaded.

In this webinar we will investigate the history of early medical recognition of autoimmune illness, evidence based natural therapies that can help with inflammation and pain relief, as well as down-regulating aggressive immune behavior, without suppressing or altering the body’s natural defenses.

Host Ellen Kamhi, PHD RN, interviews Dr. Tom O’Bryan about his book The Autoimmune Fix.

Dr. Thomas O’Bryan, DC, CCN, DABCN , is an internationally recognized leader specializing in the complications of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, Celiac Disease, and the development of Autoimmune Diseases as they occur inside and outside of the intestines.

He is a clinician specializing in treating chronic disease and metabolic disorders from a Functional Medicine Perspective. He holds teaching Faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences, and has trained thousands of practitioners around the world in advanced understanding of the impact of food related disorders and the development of individual autoimmune diseases. He hosted the paradigm-shifting ‘The Gluten Summit – A Grain of Truth’, bringing together 29 of the world’s experts on Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity at www.theglutensummit.com.

Through years of research, Dr. Tom O’Bryan has discovered that autoimmunity is actually a spectrum, and many people experiencing general malaise are already on it. And while autoimmune diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and lupus, have become the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer, many people affected are left in the dark.

The good news is that many autoimmune conditions can be reversed through a targeted protocol designed to heal the autoimmune system, 70 percent of which is located in the gut. Once the dietary changes have been addressed, The Autoimmune Fix focuses on the other causes of autoimmunity such as genetics, other dietary issues, and microbiome. The Autoimmune Fix provides a practical and much-needed guide to navigating these increasingly common conditions to help you feel better and develop a plan that works for you.
