Is autoimmune disease tied to trauma? Doctor shares insight

I'm over 50, have been recently diagnosed with PBC, and my liver is the organ that is the culprit! I've had issues with anemia since the beginning of the pandemic so that's when they started to really look at my numbers from my liver. Taking medicine for it 3times a day so hopefully it will work to help it!

Louise Hay wrote about this in "You Can Heal Your Life." I'm glad to see it becoming mainstream knowledge.

I beleive it! The power of deep breath..remarkable!

Dr. Gabor Mate has been talking about this for years.

46... I got mono at that old of an age and then the next year got shingles
. I felt like I was living in a Stephen King novel. I had post hepetic neuralgia it was insane

schlerderma! i dont know how i got it but im so sad.

My daughter got RA after getting the Gardisil vaccine DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE.. this vaccine was recommended by our pediatrician. If you do your research you’ll find out it’s not even affective against the HPV virus. They are class action suits against this vaccine. My daughter got an auto immune disease after getting this vaccine horrible.!!!!

I’m sorry, where on earth are you getting your experts? I’m a physician and I have an autoimmune disease diagnosed post-covid but that I had for years and was not diagnosed as I should have been but instead given stupid advice very much like what she’s selling instead of being listened to and taken seriously. This person is making money selling pseudoscience and “breath work” isn’t going to cure autoimmune disease. It’s really ridiculous how bad this was and the negative impact this can have on a group of patients with diseases that aren’t well understood due to underfunding of research. Th patients suffering from these diseases want to be normal, and adding sleep tracking and avoiding tomatoes is just more layered on ridiculousness. Autoimmune diseases disproportionally impact women, especially women of color. Share the real science and ask patients what they recommend that helps, it would be more useful information than her snake oil. If I was left to diagnose myself as a physician with the amount of privilege I have, then goodness knows all of the patients are suffering and her dumb book of pseudoscience will waste even more of their precious time and resources.

You can’t deep breath your way out of autoimmune disease. I can’t believe Today has this woman on this show.

How about asking if the Covid vax is triggering auto immune diseases? For those that are interested see the paper by Stephanie Seneff "Innate Immune suppression..."

i believe this to be true.

Many, many people are also finding a link between what they eat and autoimmune, and that when they stop eating sugar, grains, processed food, and seed/vegetable oils and move to a lower carb way of eating, they end up reversing all their symptoms. Some also add in fasting.

Of course, acknowledging and welcoming any feelings that are there to come up is also a fabulous idea, as many of us deny and repress our feelings. It’s important to let those feelings come up and put.

My husband got severe RA and I got lupus after we had a near-death boating accident.

She keeps saying “it could be”. This is NOT proof. Please link the studies that prove trauma causes autoimmune disease. 🙄

I am a 73 year old woman and I am one of those 24 million. Mine Autoimmune Hashimoto's was triggered by mold exposure in the workplace for three years. I have been working with a Functional Medicine Physician now for about 15 years and after a lot of hard work and costs I am on my way to healing. The greatest change I ask for is to have my insurance COVER Functional Medicine treatments. Currently I have paid for thousands of dollars of out of pocket costs. Every month I pay for Medicare, my supplemental health insurance plans and still I have to pay for all my Functional treatments out-of-pocket This eliminates MANY people who could not have this kind of medicine.

Oh, if only it was that simple.

20% of people can have positive antibodies WITHOUT disease.
I am one of those people.
I've had massive blood work; all came back negative except for the positive ANA.🤷‍♀️
I have also gone into remission...my blood cleared for a period of 6 months.
Yet, reemerged.
I believe strongly, stress is a big factor...along with unresolved trauma trapped in the body.

Get testing spend a fortune and raise your anxiety. She sounds like a wack job.

I was born with autoimmune disease juvenile rheumatoid arthritis . Curing autoimmune disease is easier said then done

Testing only helps if your dr will listen to you. Doctors do not listen, or think that we know our own bodies.

A trigger for me is when a doctor tells you to go to another doctor for this and the next doctor says either your case is not severe enough or you have to go back to the first doctor.

NO = BOTOX BRINGS OUT AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASES

I have to tell you that immunocompromised diseases are a gut problem.

Don’t underestimate breath work

I’m here to encourage someone I was diagnosed with SEVERE RA at 24yrs old in 1999. I walked with a cane a walker and/or wheelchair for 21 yrs(1999-2020) also on methotrexate (chemo)for 21 yrs
I had 7 major surgeries foot and ankle reconstruction 2 hip replacements total hand tendon realignment my esophagus. I even had a baby when all my doctors said I should never; She’s almost 11 and my husband unexpectedly passed away when she was 14 months old. January 2020 my cane broke I realized I didn’t need it anymore. April 2020 I got a blood clot from Xeljanz so I was taken off of it. Leaving just the chemo which I took my last injection of November 2020.
JESUS is my only explanation ! HE says By those 39 stripes WE ARE ALREADY HEALED! We have to believe and trust in HIS WORD! I’m a living witness🥲
HE not only wants to HEAL you physically but HE wants to HEAL you EVERYWHERE you hurt. All of the childhood trauma generational strongholds HE wants you to give it to HIM! HE said HE”ll give you Beauty for Ashes. I just came on here to tell somebody HEs a PROMISE KEEPER! 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️🌈🌈⚓️🩸

Lack of support is the key. People who have support don't have long term issies the way the neglected do.

She makes generalizations and autoimmune disease is too broad a term. You cannot breath or meditate your way out of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome or sleep your necrotizing myositis into remission. Nor can cutting out tomatoes cure your way out of interstitial lung disease from antisynthetase syndrome or an underlying CTD.

Oh, so all I had to do to cure my Lupus, kidney disease and hashimoto was to breathe and stop eating. I have spent 40 years not doing these things! HOW SILLY OF ME! It's on me, I guess.

Trauma isn't an overwhelming experience (that is a traumatic event) it's the ongoing mind, brain and body effects of that experience.

Going to doctor is trauma in itself. How many people been traumatized by doctors alone ?

these are all good tips, but the true cause of autoimmune is dormant viruses becoming re-activated. I healed my chronic "mystery" illness of 20 years by understanding and applying Medical Medium info, which gives us the true cause of autoimmune conditions. His info is 100% free and WORKS. In fact out of ALL the things I tried, it was the ONLY thing that cured me.

The body remembers and keeps score, even when we keep on keeping on.

Thank you for the friendly reminder to relax. Just had Radiotherapy for Multiple Sclerosis.

Thank you so much for highlighting this issue.

Cptsd leads to autoimune disorders frequently. One big event isn't the only type of trauma. Breathing exercises are great, and so are potatoes. Interesting perspective.

Too many arguements in the comments section ...... Try to find your own solutions and cut everyone else a bit of slack... Obviously breathing is essential to life, as is eating, sleeping and pooping....... Im going out to do some exercise in the sunshine with my friends and pets .....

The anchor is talking too much and not letting the quest complete her thoughts 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Currently millions of people are suffering from autoimmune diseases because of processed foods and pesticides added to today's foods. I'm so glad I created a system and meal plan to stay healthy and fit.

Over and over, videos like this DON'T mention exposure to toxins? Lead water pipes, chemicals in home cleaning products, lead in women's cosmetics, etc. A vague thing like trauma they highlight, but not toxins, go figure.

Wow! I didnt know so many people were affected by autoimmune disease. I was duagi with autoimmune disease called Lichen Planus of the scalp, which causes hair loss.

yep, i'm starting to believe that my abusive family (especially my dad who refusing to fix his anger issues)
caused my RA from that one incident

i beleive my family had this

anyone who mentions leaky gut as one of the causes of autoimmune disease is not a real doctor, that right there is a red flag. No real gastroenterologist or other real medical doctors recognize this made up disorder
