Likewise, the body can misidentify our own tissues as antigens and form auto-antibodies. The result is autoimmune disease, a category that includes many familiar maladies such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
But — and this is where we don’t know enough — the autoimmune response also seems to figure in some unexpected disorders such as heart disease, autism, and even cancer.
Autoimmune diseases are at the frontier of medicine. It’s hard to tell whether a given disease is autoimmune or not. What’s more, as in heart disease, it’s hard to tell whether the autoimmune response is the main cause of the disease or just a side effect that makes the disease worse.
The most interesting work in autoimmune disease is taking place in alternative medicine because autoimmune diseases tend to be chronic and incurable as far as establishment medicine is concerned. So the victims embark on a desperate search for the answers conventional doctors don’t have.
