I always get frustrated by statements like this, because I have lupus. I’ve remained healthy without the traditional battery of treatment for over 2 years, but that isn’t a praise in the direction of any one group. Because people call things autoimmune disorders when they’re not, people give sound advice for daily living and apply it as a general cure all.

It becomes a problem for people with serious medical conditions (that, granted are almost solely caused by generations of poor diet).

I just wanted to play devils advocate on this as a disclaimer for people to always be accurately informed. Cure-alls are a slippery slope, and when you bring autoimmune disorders into play you’re leaving a lot out. The risk of a sudden spike of white blood cell count due to your diet; The importance of being proactive about preventing anemia; The importance of calcium in the diet; And the urge to balance medical science with common sense.

Mind over matter is an incredible resource. But you do want to urge someone in the direction of self help without applying a rounded view of things. Not when you’re considering conditions that have the possibility of attacking your kidneys, liver, lungs, or central nervous system. Its not uncommon for autoimmune disorders to go into remission, or to suddenly flair up again. On the other hand, people with autoimmune disorders are at a higher risk for certain cancers than others.

I could go on and on. But that’s essentially it. I’ve read your disclaimer, but perhaps you might have a signature that urges your readers to question every source… including your own.
