The Painful Treatments Down the Road if You Don't Reverse Your Autoimmune Disease

Do you really want to go through a painful surgery because of your autoimmune disease?

No? Well the reality is that many autoimmune disease require surgeries in advanced cases. Here’s a list of very common autoimmune diseases and the routing surgeries used to treat them.

Lupus: Kidney transplant, and hip and joint replacement surgery
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint replacement surgery
Sjogren’s: Eye surgery
Crones: Colon removal surgery
Autoimmune Hepatitis/Cirrhosis: Liver transplant
Hashimoto Thyroiditis: Total thyroidectomy
Graves: Bilateral lobectomy and total thyroidectomy
Vitiligo: Skin grafts
Myasthenia Gravis: Thymus gland removal
Meniere’s Disease: Inner ear surgery
Psoriatic Arthritis: Joint replacement surgery
Ankylosing Spondylitis: Laminectomy (A spine surgery)

Unfortunately after decades of research and clinical trial and error the medical community still does not have a cure for autoimmune diseases. Sadly to say there are some painful and very inconvenient treatments down the road if you don't get a grip on your autoimmune disease.

One Word, Motivation

Why would I share such depressing information? One word, motivation. We frequently find autoimmune suffers who are unwilling to inconvenience themselves in any way to attempt to heal their autoimmune disease naturally. As soon as they discover that reversing their autoimmune condition naturally requires some work and life changes they reject it. So many just surrender themselves to whatever treatments the established medical community comes up with. If you're unwilling to take the necessary steps to reversing it, you owe it to yourself to know what the future might look like. This future may likely be surviving through management measures, surgery, and falling apart piece by piece.

The scar left from Moms liver transplant.

One fact that people often over look is that medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US according the the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)(1). A 2004 report of inpatient deaths related to medical error found that 575,000 deaths were caused by medical error between 2000 and 2002.(2)

My mother went through several surgeries and other medical procedures during her several year battle with autoimmune liver cirrhosis. The recovery from these was often painful and several times things took place during these surgeries and procedures that could've killed her. During a procedure in which they were draining fluid from her enlarged abdomen (a complication of liver failure) they took out way too much at once which sent her into renal failure and almost destroyed her kidneys.

Her kidneys could only function at 10% capability after that accident. So not only did she have a damaged liver due to the autoimmune disease but now a damaged kidney due to the hospital.

In all fairness hospital can be a life saver. They saved my mothers life on several occasions. The balance is that patients should keep in mind that the hospital and it's staff can also be a life taker. The main point is that you want to stay out of there as much as possible. If for some reason I had to go (God forbid) based on what I have seen my philosophy is to get out of there as soon as possible before something bad happens.

"They Stole My Gallbladder!"

After Mom's liver transplant the doctor can into her recovery room to see how she was healing. During his interview with her he was discussing how the procedure went and casually said in passing he said, "oh yea and we also took out your gallbladder." My mother said, "what!?" I must not have heard them correctly she thought, "Did you say you removed my gallbladder?" "Oh yea." The doctor said. When he could see the shock and horror on my mothers face he arrogantly stated, "You don't need that, it could just cause complications in the future, we did you a favor." A "favor!?" My mother could've sued, since she had actually signed a form stating she did not want them to remove her gallbladder. I believe that organs are there for a reason, but unfortunately my mothers surgeon didn't share that same philosophy.

Hope!

But don't worry there's hope! I believe surgery can be avoided. I reversed my autoimmune condition and have seen many others do the same. But you have to be willing to change the way you live. Either road you take there will be some sacrifices. But I would rather take the sacrificial road to healing than the sacrificial road to more sickness. How about you?

The first place I started when I began my journey of reversing my autoimmune disease was identifying and avoiding toxins that were causing my condition. Society is full of many hidden toxins that are key factors contributing to the development of autoimmune diseases. Many of these toxins are probably in your home right now. If you'd like to learn more about how you can identify and avoid these take a look at my next article.
