Why elimination diets and avoiding dietary triggers is not the solution for autoimmunity


The role of the gut health and intestinal permeability in autoimmune conditions (and why “leaky gut” isn’t the primary cause of autoimmunity)


The problems with immunosuppression and symptom management for autoimmune conditions


Alternative views of the immune system that create a completely different picture of autoimmunity
