Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Lupus, Celiac Disease, Crohn’s, and Ulcerative Colitis are now affecting over 24 million Americans. Toxins, allergens, infections, poor diet, and stress can all be the root cause of these illnesses.

Most patients with autoimmune disease have the leaky gut syndrome.  Toxins and allergens can leak through the gut lining and enter the bloodstream.  This process creates a cascade of immune response and triggers antibody complexes to attack different organs.
