Mclean, Virginia Jun 15, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - There are over 20 million Americans and 100's millions of people around the world suffering from debilitating chronic illnesses. They are labeled with diagnoses such as Chromic Lyme Disease,

Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Depression/Anxiety Disorder, and Long-Haul COVID-19, but we now know that these conditions have a great deal in common with each other.

Your immune system is devoted to protecting you from infections. The only reason it will not do that is if something else is impairing its ability to function. The top four reasons for this impairment are unhealthy sleep, abused gut, environmental toxins, and emotional trauma. When your immune system has been undermined by these conditions, your body is set up for trouble. Once you get an infection, your odds of developing autoimmune disease have greatly increased.

"Gary Kaplan is not only a pioneer in his field, he's a badass who is changing the face of medicine," says Dave Asprey, found, Bulletproof 360. "This book holds everything I wish I knew twenty years ago about autoimmunity. It's an incredible resource for anyone with chronic pain and illness. It will bring hope and health to so many people."

Research shows that: 1. Many people with this chronic illness suffered from an infection that "broke" their immune system. Their broken immune systems are now attacking their own brains. When our body's immune system attacks our own tissue it is called an autoimmune disease. 2. These conditions listed above are, in fact, a new type of autoimmune disease. But while the medical research is quite clear, most physicians do not understand how these conditions are connected; nor do they understand the proper way to treat them.
