But all too often the symptoms remain elusive and don’t lend themselves to a clear diagnosis.These symptoms often point to a set of diseases known as autoimmune disorders. A wide array of conditions, these disorders create a state where the body’s defense system, originally designed to kill germs and disease, attack healthy tissue. The resulting conditions cover a wide range of illnesses, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, Graves’ disease, and multiple sclerosis, among many others.Seventy-five percent of autoimmune disease sufferers are women. But although these diseases represent the third largest cause of chronic illness among American women and are among the top ten leading causes of death in American women sixty-five and under, the true nature of these illnesses has long been shrouded in misunderstandings and ignorance on the part of the medical community.

With help from a host of medical experts, they provide vital information in the fight for better health.

They also explain the intricacies of the immune system and how they can go awry, as well as going into important detail on the specific kinds of autoimmune disorders.Sources, self-help, special treatment centers, and other important resources are also provided to give support and paths to more efficient treatment. With expert information and compassionate guidance, the authors give you the information to help you take more control of these sometimes-mysterious illnesses and create a life of optimal health.
