AUTOIMMUNITY

When your body’s immune system is fighting your own tissues, not only are your tissues being destroyed; but your immune system is being occupied and is exhausted. For many, this can go on for years without any knowledge to the person as to why they feel the way they are feeling.

Genetic Factors: Certain genes can increase a person's risk of developing an autoimmune disease.

Environmental Factors: Exposure to certain viruses, bacteria, toxins, and chemicals can trigger autoimmune diseases.

Hormonal Factors: Women are more likely to develop autoimmune diseases, which suggests that hormonal factors may play a role.

Age: Autoimmune diseases can occur at any age, but some are more common in older adults.

Causes of Autoimmune
Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks healthy cells in the body. Although the exact cause of autoimmune diseases is unknown, some of the potential causes include:



Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the specific condition and the affected body parts. Here are some common symptoms of autoimmune diseases:

Fatigue: Feeling tired, stressed, and weak is a common symptom of many autoimmune diseases.

Joint Pain: Many autoimmune diseases cause joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Skin Changes: Rashes, hives, and other skin changes.

Digestive Issues: Diarrhea, constipation, and other digestive problems.

Nerve Damage: Some autoimmune diseases can cause nerve damage, leading to tingling, numbness, and weakness in the limbs.

Hair Loss: Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease, can cause hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body.

Raynaud's Phenomenon: This condition causes the fingers and toes to turn white or blue in response to cold or stress.

Shortness of Breath: Autoimmune diseases that affect the lungs can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.

FREE DISCOVERY CALL

After just 1 month of seeing Dr.Harrison, I could already see a difference with the treatment he chose to use for me. I went from having daily bowel issues, joint pain, and fatigue, to having minimal flareups. Each month we worked on new lifestyle changes based upon my blood work before I knew it 4 months later I was down 40 pounds. I’ve gained energy, my joint pain is minimized and even my mental health has improved greatly. Dr. Harrison gave me a lot of knowledge about my diseases, which in return helped me learn how to live with more freedom, and gave me ways to educate those around me about my diseases as well as confidence.

When I went to visit Dr. Harrison I was suffering from Adrenal fatigue. I had brain fog, memory problems, weight gain, extreme fatigue, sleep disturbances, and painful cycles to name a few symptoms.

During my program I underwent a diet change, education, and exercise. I began my journey in July and by August I was on my way to living my best life. I am still on the path to wellness, but I completed my program and I am on my own. I lost 19 pounds, drilled down a better sleep cycle, my energy came back, and my cycles are no longer painful. Dr. Harrison and his staff took the TIME and gave me the tools to get back on track when Western medicine told me, "nothing is wrong."

If you question trying the Center for Functional Medicine for fear you will not heal-don't! The only thing you have to ask yourself is are you ready to change your life for the better, and ready to make the commitment?

Client Testimonials 

Dr. Harrison listened to my symptoms, reviewed my labs, and looked for the root cause. I have never been so impressed with the work that was put into my health. He was very thorough and explained how the body communicates. He showed me picture illustrations so that I could truly understand why symptoms arise. He explained how one number on a blood lab correlates to another, and communicates misinformation to the body. It simply amazed me that no one has ever been able to put it together for me as he did. His encouragement and support during the process have made all the difference in the world!
