How we help using Molecular Mimicry
The Genomic Wellness Group acknowledges the concept of T-cell dysregulation and molecular mimicry as a unique and very successful approach to helping reverse chronic autoimmune conditions ranging from eczema to Crohn’s Disease. While there is a variety of mechanisms which lead to the end process of autoimmune disease, molecular mimicry is a well-established process by which infections initiate and/or exacerbate these diseases.
Your lifestyle and diet can lead to a suppression of the “neighborhood watch” cells within your immune system. These T-cells, when suppressed, can misidentify a foreign antigen, such as a virus or bacteria, confusing the foreign antigen with similar looking antigens from specific foods and/or self-tissue. This mistake leads to memory cells making you vulnerable to autoimmune conditions. Our Functional Lifestyle Medicine protocol not only addresses the short-term symptoms but also the long-term reversal of the autoimmune condition.
This is well established in research but rarely applied in clinical practice. Our clinic has nearly 20 years of successfully helping patients use this process to reverse their autoimmune conditions.
