Autoimmune Disorders
There are more than 80 types of autoimmune conditions, which occur when the body's immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake. Common autoimmune disorders include:
Fibromyalgia
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Celiac disease / sprue
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Multiple sclerosis
Myasthenia gravis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Sjogren syndrome
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Diet plays a big part in worsening or improving these conditions. When you eat pro-inflammatory foods - for instance, sugar and flour - you can exacerbate inflammation, the core feature of all autoimmune disorders. Unhealthy foods can also worsen intestinal permeability ("leaky" gut), throw your hormones out of balance, and lead to severe nutritional deficiencies ñ all of which can worsen the symptoms of an autoimmune disease.
Our pharmacist can provide multiple forms of help for people with autoimmune disorders, depending on the cause. Ask us about:
the potential benefits of restoring hormone balance.
professional quality nutritional and herbal supplements that can improve immune function.
customized medications that can relieve symptoms that have not responded to commercially available drugs.
Patient feedback is critical to our success and our ability to share with providers the benefits of the products and services that we offer. Please be sure to tell your providers, family and friends about your experience with our pharmacy and then tell us. Click here to use our online form. If your testimonial is used on our website you'll get a $20 gift card for the store!
