FIGURE 1: RISING INCIDENCE OF AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS


may be true in some instances, but it has been well established in others. Dietary elimination of gluten-containing grains is entirely accepted as the most viable intervention in Celiac dis- ease, an autoimmune disease of the intestinal tract.


One potential issue in play is that by the time a patient is diagnosed with autoimmune disease they are very far down the disease spectrum and there is often already substan- tial tissue damage. The proverbial horse has already left the barn. However, what if poten- tial triggers were routinely screened for and removed by health care providers, particularly in those with a family history of autoimmune disorders? The entire course of the disorder might be favorably altered, and many of these disorders might potentially never emerge if the correct preventive measures were taken.


In the naturopathic, integrative and functional medicine models, there is a strong emphasis on both early detection and inter- ventions that target the underlying basis and dysfunction of a disease process. Therefore, in these models the goal is to take clinical actions to reduce the potential for the disease pro- cess to progress. This also seems to intuitively make sense even in those who already have established disease, as even though you may not be able to undo the damage already done, you can likely - if nothing else- slow down the train. This is particularly true since these interventions pose little or no risk and are also relatively inexpensive; including dietary changes, the use of probiotics, antimicrobial herbals/botanicals and volatile oils to address GI bacterial overgrowth and to support the gut lining (to reduce “leaky-gut” syndrome).


The Hygiene Hypothesis The concept of the hygiene hypothesis is also one that is quite simple, with the complex- ity being in the details. The thought that we have induced dysregulation into our immune systems by virtue of living in too clean of an environment, coupled with the over eradication of infection, is not new (See fi gure 1), but it has
