If you’ve ever wondered what triggers an autoimmune disease, you’re not alone. This question has been a mystery since the discovery of autoimmunity. Normally, our immune system protects our bodies against infection. But with autoimmune disease, that same faithful system malfunctions and attacks healthy cells. The exact mechanism that gives rise to an autoimmune disease still puzzles medical minds. However, evidence suggests that the cause can often be traced to a genetic susceptibility triggered by one or more environmental factors. These can include chronic stress, poor diet, gut dysbiosis, infections, environmental toxins, as well as other stressors. Recent research points to various infectious agents (viruses and bacteria) as being major triggers for several autoimmune diseases, including the following: Autoimmune Disease Infectious Agent Guillain-Barré syndrome Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, Campylobacter (bacteria) Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) Epstein-Barr virus Lupus Epstein-Barr virus Lyme disease Borrelia burgdorferi (bacteria) and Borrelia mayonii (bacteria) Multiple sclerosis (MS) Epstein-Barr […]
