f you are not currently familiar with a classification of health conditions known as autoimmune disorders, then count your- self among the few. Described as situations in which your own immune system attacks the body it was designed to protect, autoimmune conditions are now among the most prevalently diagnosed in the world and include a wide range of labels you may already be familiar with (Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn’s Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Type 1 Diabetes best known among the nearly one hundred identified to date).

In the modern landscape of specialized healthcare, high- lighted consistently by a failure to recognize the interconnectiv- ity of everything that happens in the human body, conditions thought to be autoimmune in origin have continually baffled traditional thinkers with mindsets rooted in treating symptoms and disease via methods that produce the opposite effects. In the case of autoimmune disorders, for instance, the response to an attack on the body by the immune system is to medicinally sup- press the immune system, a “pick your poison” approach that unsurprisingly has massive long-term consequences in its own right and that fundamentally fails to address the most obvious question – why is the immune system attacking the body? – as if the question is inherently impossible to answer. Within that traditional bubble, there is little to find but despair for sufferers of autoimmune conditions.


With medical spending on autoimmune diagnoses approach-


ing the level spent on heart disease, it is time to get a firm handle on what goes on in the body to cause such fundamentally un- natural reactions and to apply a more logical approach to com- bating them.


So, logically, what are the most common reasons why the immune system would attack the body?


Human physiology 101 – the basics of how the human body


works – teaches that your immune system is controlled by the nerve system, the hubs of which are the brain and the brainstem. Like our military defenses, there are immune stations positioned throughout the body that are directly linked to the brain via the nerves; in a constant game of Battleship throughout your life, the brain coordinates strikes on foreign invaders deemed threatening by relaying tactical instructions across the nerves. The goal is to protect, and that protection is dependent upon proper commu-


nication between admiral (the brain) and fleet (immune system). Disrupted communication in any circumstance will yield unde- sirable outcomes, but especially so in the human body when the immune system’s combat instructions from the brain are interfered with. In part, autoimmune conditions result from this distorted communication; if the brain commands an attack on an infection in quadrant B6, but an inaccurate coordinate comes through the nerve network – E6 the spinal cord (MS), D6 the digestive tract (Crohn’s), P6 the pancreas (T1 Diabetes), or G6 the joints (RA) – then something has happened that fundamentally would not have happened if there had been proper communication.


The brainstem is the cell tower of the body’s nerve network, responsible for the transmission of the signals from the brain along the nerves to the immune stations. Thus, proper attention needs to be paid to the brainstem when evaluating an autoim-
