regulation. Vitamin D has a very specifi c role in activating detoxifi cation pathways that eliminate a substance called Lithocholic acid, a bile acid that is toxic to the cells of the intestinal wall. Some probiotics actually increase Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D also increases the activity of peptides that increase intestinal barrier function. While many people know that Vitamin D is important for their immune system, much of this mechanism occurs through the gut and the microbiome thereby effecting autoimmunity.


Autoimmune diseases are extremely complex condi- tions that require an individualized approach. However, these common factors can infl uence the development, onset, and severity of symptoms in autoimmune diseases. Naturopathic doctors work directly to stimulate the body’s vital force or the ability of the body to heal itself. By eliminating toxicity, providing adequate nutrients, building a robust microbiome, and stimulating the body to restore normal immune function, individuals with autoimmune disease have another approach to consider when navigating their health. As research catches up to the art of medicine, natural options for treatment will be more readily available. Autoimmune disease, like all of us, is marked by diversity and challenges. It is shared understand- ings across these varied conditions that will bring us forward to health and healing.
