Autoimmune Disorders & Inflammation

 1. Inflammation = the main damage mechanism

In autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s, or MS, your immune system mistakes healthy tissue for a threat. Once activated, it releases a flood of inflammatory chemicals:

• Cytokines like TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, IL-17
• Immune cells like neutrophils, macrophages, and autoreactive T-cells
• Enzymes that break down tissue, like MMPs

These don’t just mark the tissue — they actively destroy it. Joint cartilage gets eroded, myelin gets stripped, intestinal lining gets ulcerated. That destruction is the symptoms you feel.

2. Lowering inflammation interrupts the feedback loop
Autoimmune flares are vicious cycles:
