I've worked with many people who suffer from autoimmune diseases and disorders over the years. There are many. When the body produces an immune response against it's own tissues science calls this autoimmune disease.

There are many speculations and theories as to why the immune system goes haywire in this way. Why does it cease to react in a normal way? The immune system produces antibodies that attack it's own cells, tissues, and/or organs. This attack causes chronic inflammation. It is this type of inflammation that actually causes the damage of our body.

In a few types of autoimmune diseases the attack is initiated by a virus or infection with a bacterial trigger. The immune system responds by producing antibodies or T-cells that attack normal cells. Some part of their molecular structure resembles a part of the infecting microorganism and the body reacts in a very aggressive way. Whether the antibodies attack a specific tissue or organ (localized) or it affects the entire body (systemic) science fails to define why it begins.

Although science can define the various symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, low grade fever, joint stiffness, and digestive distress there is very little medicine can do to cure these issues. The best medicine can do is suppress symptoms.

My theory and subsequent help with autoimmune diseases resides in the molecular makeup of our body's connective tissue system. There are many precursors that are completely overlooked by medicine occurring in all of us on a daily basis. One primary issue is connective tissue dehydration. I believe this is the precursor and catalyst for autoimmune diseases.

Daily care of our connective tissue is an essential element of any person's wellness but for those with autoimmune diseases it's a must. But tapping into this system the way MELT does is unconventional. Most treatments are invasive, heavy, direct pressure. This is NOT what the tissue needs - especially tissue affected with autoimmune disorders.

If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder or disease, learning to MELT can offer a quick reduction in symptoms and help restore the connective tissues natural balance.

As our website and MELT team continue to grow you will soon be able to download MELT Maps specifically for these issues.

Much more to come.
