Our immune system is our body’s defense against infections and other harmful invaders. Without it, we would constantly get sick from bacteria or viruses.
Our immune system is made up of special cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect us.
Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and our own cells.
In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of our body, like our joints or skin, as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells.
Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), affect the whole body..
Women get autoimmune diseases rate is high compared to men. Often the disease starts during a woman’s childbearing years (15Years to 44Years).
Certain autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis and lupus, run in families. Not every family member will necessarily have the same disease, but they inherit a susceptibility to an autoimmune condition.
Because the incidence of autoimmune diseases is rising, researchers suspect environmental factors like infections and exposure to chemicals or solvents might also be involved. Our modern life style, working style and foods are also huge causes.
We don’t know exactly what causes autoimmune diseases. Genetics, diet, infections, and exposure to chemicals might be involved.
The lymph or lymphatic, system is a major part of the immune system. It's a network of lymph nodes and vessels. Lymphatic vessels are thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels, throughout the body. They carry a clear fluid called lymph. Lymph contains tissue fluid, waste products, and immune system cells. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped clumps of immune system cells that are connected by lymphatic vessels. They contain white blood cells that trap viruses, bacteria, and other invaders, including cancer cells.
White blood cells are the cells of the immune system. They are made in one of your lymph organs, the bone marrow. Other lymph organs include the spleen and thymus.
When our immune system doesn't work the way it should, it is called an immune system disorder.
• Primary immune deficiency – Be born with a weak immune system.
• Acquired immune deficiency – Get a disease that weakens your immune system.
• Allergic reaction – Have an immune system that is too active.
• Autoimmune disease – Have an immune system that turns against you.
There are some common examples:
• Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is an example of an immune deficiency that is present at birth. Children are in constant danger of infections from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This disorder is sometimes called “bubble boy disease.”
• Temporary acquired immune deficiencies. Our immune system can be weakened by certain medicines, for example: This can happen to people on chemotherapy or other drugs used to treat cancer. It can also happen to people following organ transplants who take medicine to prevent organ rejection. Also, infections like the flu virus, mono (mononucleosis), and measles can weaken the immune system for a brief time. Our immune system can also be weakened by smoking, alcohol, and poor nutrition.
• AIDS. HIV, which causes AIDS, is an acquired viral infection that destroys important white blood cells and weakens the immune system. People with HIV/AIDS become seriously ill with infections that most people can fight off. These infections are called “opportunistic infections” because they take advantage of weak immune systems.
If we are born with certain genes, our immune system may react to substances in the environment that are normally harmless. These substances are called allergens. Having an allergic reaction is the most common example of an overactive immune system. Dust, mold, pollen, and foods are examples of allergens.
Some conditions caused by an overactive immune system are:
• Asthma: The response in our lungs can cause coughing, wheezing, and trouble breathing. Asthma can be triggered by common allergens like dust or pollen or by an irritant like tobacco smoke.
• Eczema: An allergen causes an itchy rash known as atopic dermatitis.
• Allergic rhinitis: Sneezing, a runny nose, sniffling, and swelling of your nasal passages from indoor allergens like dust and pets or outdoor allergens like pollens or molds.
In autoimmune diseases, the body attacks normal, healthy tissues. The causes are unknown. It is probably a combination of a person’s genes and something in the environment that triggers those genes.
There are some common autoimmune diseases are:
• Type 1 diabetes: The immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Insulin removes sugar from the blood to use as energy.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: This type of arthritis causes swelling and deformities of the joints. An auto-antibody called rheumatoid factor is in the blood of some people with rheumatoid arthritis.
• Lupus: This disease that attacks body tissues, including the lungs, kidneys, and skin. Many types of auto-antibodies are found in the blood of people with lupus.
So, we should never ignore to our care for immunity system. Homeopathy medicines are a good choice for improving our immunity system.

Is There an Irritable Bowel Syndrome Cure?
Irritable bowel syndrome is a most common functional digestive disorder that affects the large intestine (colon). Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the word itself signifies irritable bowel. So the group of symptoms arises due to irritable bowel is called irritable bowel syndrome. Here the question arises why the bowel becomes irritable and why? The walls of the bowel i.e. the intestinal tract are lined by layers of muscles that contracts and expands in a coordinated rhythmical manner to move the foods from the stomach to the rectum. Approximately 10-15% of the global population suffers from IBS.
If you are looking for an ideal natural remedy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you should consider undertaking homeopathy treatment. IBS is a health condition in which your large intestine or the colon gets affected. It is a chronic condition and requires management on a long term basis. Homeopathy is effective for curing IBS, and several types of medicines are used for its treatment.
Common Symptoms : • Abdominal pain and cramping - the abdominal pain and discomfort occur few days in a month and the pain is relieved after the bowel clearance. • A bloated feeling - feeling of heaviness in abdomen • Gas ( flatulence) - there is more gas formation and flatulency • Diarrhea and constipation - sometimes loose motion and sometimes constipation tendency. There is also bout of diarrhea and constipation alternate • Sudden urging for stool - there is sudden urging for stool no control over it. Sometimes stools are mucoid like • Fatigue and weakness
Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a cure in homeopathic treatment. It controls the pain and flatulency in a short duration of treatment period. The sudden urging for bowel motion is controlled completely after a week of treatment.
The frequency of bowel motion gradually reduces to one or two times during the course of treatment. Homeopathic treatment gives a long standing cure to the IBS. It is most safe and no drug side effects.
Homeopathy not only relieves the symptoms but also cure IBS in long run. Six to ten months of treatment is required depending on the severity of the symptoms. Case details are studied from homeopathic perspective and remedy for the case is selected on symptoms similarity.
Homeopathy treatment for IBS is based on totality of sign and symptoms of the patient. Totality of symptoms means the symptoms which are not only collected from the disease aspect but from other aspect like mental symptoms, physical symptoms, desires, aversion all the symptoms from which a homeopath can study the patient as a whole. The medicine selected on the totality of symptoms is the constitutional remedy for the patient. That will help to cure the disease for a longer period of time and will make the person healthy as a whole.
Besides treatment it is also highly required to take acre about your diet system. Do not take those foods which you feel aggravates your condition. Daily physical activities and morning walk is highly beneficial to maintain a healthy life.
Avoid all sorts of junk foods and processed foods and add more natural fruits and vegetables rich with fibers to your daily diet menu. Avoid taking all types carbonated drinks, alcohol. If you want to cure this problem and to lead a healthy life please start your treatment ASAP.

If you are in peace with yourself, you are in peace with the world too! 🧘‍♀️🌍 One year ago I was in war with myself. I fought. I suffered. I was in pain. But no-one saw it, as I hid it well. I thought, that I had no choice but keep going. Until one day in April 2021 when I couldn't keep going anymore. My body gave up on me. I had to press the re-set button. Mainly on my mindset to understand & accept that: I have nothing to prove. I have no expectations to meet. I am good enough just by being. My life has changed. No, not overnight....and it's still in progress. But I had to start somewhere. You do not need to wait for your body to give up on you. You do not need to wait until it's too late. Re-set your mindset now. Re-set your life now. Re-set your peace now. ZEN IS IN YOU TOO! Start activating it. To learn how, contact me for a free, 15- min pre-consultation to establish how ceremonial cacao, consulting, homeopathy or sound-healing could help you. Online Zoom and in-person appointments in Dublin, Ireland are also available.

That post about homeopathy makes me so mad about my hyoscyamine. Not that hyoscyamine is in defense of homeopathy, but because it isn't a homeopathic medicine even tho it is literally a diluted form of deadly nightshade. But this isn't some hippie dippie totally-effective-because-it's-a-naturally-occurring-plant-BUT-it's-been-dilluted-and-i-dunno-mixed-with-purifying-essential-oils-and-that-totally-makes-the-deadly-toxin-a-cure-for-everything vitamin, it's an actual prescription! From an orange prescription pill bottle with my name and doctor on it! It's used to treat stomach cramps from IBD and IBS! It was prescribed by my gastroenterologist, M.D.! She told me to take it three times a day for my Crohn's pain! It's diluted deadly nightshade in pill form and it actually works! I'm so mad about that!

A person with short stature, or restricted growth, does not grow as tall as other people of the same gender, age, and ethnicity. The person's height is below the 3rd percentile.
Short stature can be a variant of normal growth, or it may indicate a disorder or condition.
Growth rate is an important indicator of overall health. Children who do not reach the 5th percentile by the age of 5 years are said to be small for gestational age (SGA). A pediatrician will look out for signs of "failure to thrive."
Early intervention can prevent future problems in many cases.
Normally, at 8 years of age, a child's arm span is around the same as their height. If these measurements are out of proportion, this may be a sign of disproportionate short stature (DSS), sometimes known as "dwarfism."
Fast facts on short stature
Here are some key points about short stature. More detail is in the main article.
• Short stature can happen for a wide range of reasons, including having small parents, malnutrition, and genetic conditions such as achondroplasia.
• Proportionate short stature (PSS) is when the person is small, but all the parts are in the usual proportions. In disproportionate short stature (DSS), the limbs may be small compared with the trunk.
• If short stature results from a growth hormone (GH) deficiency, GH treatment can often boost growth.
• Some people may experience long-term medical complications, but intelligence is not usually affected.
Causes
Growth depends on a complex range of factors, including genetic makeup, nutrition, and hormonal influences.
The most common cause of short stature is having parents whose height is below average, but around 5 percent of children with short stature have a medical condition.
Conditions that can underlie short stature include:
• Undernutrition, due to a disease or lack of nutrients
• Hypothyroidism, leading to a lack of growth hormone
• A tumor in the pituitary gland
• Diseases of the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, or gastrointestinal tract
• Conditions that affect the production of collagen and other proteins
• Some chronic diseases, such as celiac disease and other inflammatory disorders
• Mitochondrial disease, which can affect the body in different ways, including growth
Sometimes, an injury to the head during childhood can lead to reduced growth.
A lack of growth hormone can also lead to delayed or absent sexual development.
Rheumatologic diseases, such as arthritis, are linked to short stature. This may happen because of the disease, or as a result of the glucocorticoid treatment, which can affect the release of growth hormone.
Disproportionate short stature (DSS) usually stems from a genetic mutation that affects the development of bone and cartilage and undermines physical growth.
The parents may not have short stature, but they may pass on a condition that is linked to DSS, such as achondroplasia, mucopolysaccharide disease, and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED).
Types
There are different types and causes of short stature, or restricted growth, and they will present differently. Because the range of conditions is so broad, restricted growth can be classified in various ways.
One categorization is:
• Variant restricted growth
• Proportionate short stature (PSS)
• Disproportionate short stature (DSS)
Each of these categories includes a number of types and causes of short stature.
Variant restricted growth
Sometimes a person is small but otherwise healthy. This can be referred to as variant restricted growth. It may happen for genetic or hormonal reasons.
If the parents are also small, this can be called familial short stature (FSS). If it stems from a hormonal issue, it is a constitutional delay in growth and adolescence (CDGA).
The limbs and the head develop in proportion with the spine, and the individual is otherwise healthy.
Growth happens throughout the body, so the legs, for example, are in proportion with the spine.
In most cases, the individual's parents are also small, but sometimes small stature happens because the body does not produce enough growth hormone (GH), or the body does not process growth hormone properly. This is known as GH insensitivity. Hypothyrodism can lead to low hormone production.
Growth hormone treatment during childhood may help.
Proportionate short stature (PSS)
Sometimes, overall growth is restricted, but the person's body is in proportion, and the individual has a related health problem. This is known as proportionate short stature (PSS).
If the individual is heavy for their height, this can suggest a hormone problem. The problem could be hypothyroidism, excess glucorticoid production, or too little GH.
A person who is small and their weight is low for their height may be experiencing malnutrition, or they may have a disorder that leads to malabsorption.
Whatever the underlying reason, if it affects overall growth, it may impact development in at least one body system, so treatment is needed.
During adulthood, a person with this type of restricted growth is more likely to experience:
• osteoporosis
• cardiovascular problems
• reduced muscle strength
Rarely, there may be cognitive problems, or problems with thinking. This depends on the cause of the short stature.
Disproportionate short stature (DSS)
Disproportionate short stature (DSS) is linked to a genetic mutation. The parents are usually of average height. As with other types of short stature, a range underlying causes is possible.
An individual with DSS will be small in height, and they will have other unusual physical features. These may be visible at birth, or they may develop in time as the infant develops.
Most individuals will have an average-sized trunk and short limbs, but some people may have a very short trunk and shortened, but disproportionately large limbs. Head size may be disproportionately large.
Intelligence or cognitive abilities are unlikely to be affected unless the person has hydrocephalus, or too much fluid around the brain.
Achondroplasia underlies around 70 percent of cases of DSS. It affects around 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 40,000 people.
Features include:
• an average-sized trunk
• short limbs, especially the upper arms and legs
• short fingers, possibly with a wide space between the middle and ring fingers
• limited mobility in the elbows
• a large head with a prominent forehead and flattened bridge of the nose
• bowed legs
• lordosis, a progressive development of a swayed lower back
• average adult height of 4 feet, or 122 cm
Hypochondroplasia is a mild form of achondroplasia. It may be difficult to differentiate between familial short stature and achondroplasia.
Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia result from a genetic mutation.
Genetic conditions, such as Turner syndrome, Down syndrome, or Prader Willi syndrome, are also linked to DSS.
Diagnosis
Some types of short stature can be diagnosed at birth. In other cases, routine visits to a pediatrician should reveal any abnormal growth pattern.
The doctor will record the child's head circumference, height, and weight.
If the doctor suspects restricted growth, they will carry out a physical examination, look at the child's medical and family history, and possibly carry out some tests.
These may include:
An x-ray, to assess for problems with bone development
An insulin tolerance test, to check for a deficiency in the growth hormone insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
In this test, insulin is injected into a vein, causing blood glucose levels to drop. Normally, this would trigger the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). If GH levels are lower than normal, there may be a GH deficiency.
Other tests include:
• a thyroid-stimulating hormone test, to check for hypothyroidism
• a complete blood count, to test for anemia
• metabolic tests, to assess liver and kidney function
• erythrocyte sedimentation and C-reactive protein tests, to assess for inflammatory bowel disease
• urine tests can check for enzyme deficiency disorders
• tissue transglutinase and immunoglobulin A tests, for celiac disease
• imaging scans, such as an x-ray of the skeleton and the skull or an MRI, can detect problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus
• bone marrow or skin biopsies may help confirm conditions associated with short stature
Treatment
Treatment will depend on the cause of the short stature.
If there are signs of malnutrition, the child may need nutritional supplements or treatment for a bowel disorder or other condition that is preventing them from absorbing nutrients.
If growth is restricted or delayed because of a hormonal problem, GH treatment may be necessary.
Pediatric hormone treatment: In children who produce too little GH, a daily injection of hormone treatment may stimulate physical growth later in life. Medications, such as somatropin, may eventually add 4 inches, or 10 centimeters, to adult height.
Adult hormone treatment
: Treatment for adults can help protect against complications, for example, cardiovascular disease and low bone mineral density.
Somatropin, also known as recombinant GH, might be recommended for people who:
• have a severe growth hormone deficiency
• experience impaired quality of life
• are already receiving treatment for another pituitary hormone deficiency
Adult patients generally self-administer daily with an injection.
Adverse effects of somatropin include headache, muscle pain, edema, or fluid retention, problems with eyesight, joint pain, vomiting, and nausea.
The patient may receive treatment to control chronic conditions, such as heart disease, lung disease, and arthritis.
Treatment for DSS
As DSS often stems from a genetic disorder, treatment focuses mainly on the complications.
Some patients with very short legs may undergo leg lengthening. The leg bone is broken and then fixed into a special frame. The frame is adjusted daily to lengthen the bone.
This does not always work, it takes a long time, and there is a risk of complications, including:
• pain
• the bone forming badly or at an inappropriate rate
• infection
• deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a vein
Other possible surgical treatments include:
• use of growth plates, where metal staples are inserted into the ends of long bones where growth takes place, to help bones grow in the right direction
• inserting staples or rods to help the spine form the right shape
• increasing the size of the opening in the bones of the spine to reduce pressure on the spinal cord
Regular monitoring can reduce the risk of complications.
Complications
A person with DSS may experience a number of complications.
These include:
• arthritis later in life
• delayed mobility development
• dental problems
• bowed legs
• hearing problems and otitis media
• hydrocephalus, or too much fluid in the brain cavities
• hunching of the back
• limb problems
• swaying of the back
• narrowing of the channel in the lower spine during adulthood and other spine problem
• sleep apnea
• weight gain
• speech and language problems
Individuals with proportionate short stature (PSS) may have poorly developed organs and pregnancy complications, such as respiratory problems. Delivery will normally be by cesarean section.
Outlook
Most people with short stature will have a normal life expectancy, and 90 percent of children who are small for their age at 2 years will "catch up" by adulthood.
The 10 percent who do not catch up are likely to have a condition such as fetal alcohol, Prader-Willi, or Down syndrome.
A person with achondroplasia can also expect a normal lifespan.
However, some serious conditions that are linked to some cases of short stature can be fatal.

My boyfriends entire family has always been neck deep into the homeopathic remedies. I suppose they had a bad time with the traditional vaccines and were convinced that all their illnesses came from those vax. I was talking to him about it a little because he went off on something about how the medicine can even cure suicidal tendencies...LOL his argument against it was "Well it couldnt be placebo because, placebo only works if the person believes the medication to work and wants it to work. And, do people with suicidal tendencies actually want it to work? But yet it still does." ???Coincidentally, the entire family is Christian... I almost feel bad for whoever gets trapped in the clutches of this stupid scam because its predatory almost. On some level I guess I can kind of see some plausibility for something like a rash or something topical maybe, but its bonkers how they think fucking Belladonna and alcohol dilution is the cure all substance for Schizophrenia!! Taking a known poisonous plant that causes hallucinations and delusional thinking (yk, cause its poisonous) and mixing it with alcohol and water, so much to the point of where there is hardly any plant substance left, comical as hell. But I guess "like cures like" or whatever.
Some aspects of homeopathy do seem to dovetail closely with religious faith healing. Magical thinking about anointing with oils and magical thinking about "water memory" are not far apart.
Other aspects of it seem to line up with that granola "all natural," "chemical free" mentality. So it seems like the kind of scam that appeals to people of many different stripes.
On placebos, you should show him the below. This study was particular to IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) specifically because it's a subjective ailment (versus, say, tumors that objectively exist and are measurable). The authors admit it needs further study to see how applicable this is to other conditions.
The problem with homeopathy is, of course, not that it's a placebo - it's just plain lucky that it is when they're using Belladonna. It's that they lie about it not being a placebo. They're lying about it, selling it as real medicine, complete with real medicine price tag rather than sugar/water price tag, when it's not.
==
Introduction
Placebo treatment can have a significant impact on subjective complaints.  Furthermore, recent studies have shown measurable physiological changes in response to placebo treatment that could explain how placebos alter symptoms.  A critical question is establishing how physicians and other providers can take optimal advantage of placebo effects consistent with their responsibility to foster patient trust and obtain informed consent. Directly harnessing placebo effects in a clinical setting has been problematic because of a widespread belief that beneficial responses to placebo treatment require concealment or deception. This belief creates an ethical conundrum: to be beneficial in clinical practice placebos require deception but this violates the ethical principles of respect for patient autonomy and informed consent. In the clinical setting, prevalent ethical norms emphasize that “the use of a placebo without the patient's knowledge may undermine trust, compromise the patient-physician relationship, and result in medical harm to the patient.” Nevertheless, a recent national survey of internists and rheumatologists in the US found that while only small numbers of US physicians surreptitiously use inert placebo pills and injections, approximately 50% prescribe medications that they consider to have no specific effect on patients' conditions and are used solely as placebos (sometimes called “impure placebos.”) Many other studies confirm this finding. Given this situation, finding effective means of harnessing placebo responses in clinical practice without deception is a high priority.
[..]
The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of recruiting IBS patients to participate in a trial of open-label placebo and to assess whether an open-label placebo pill with a persuasive rationale was more effective than no-treatment in relieving symptoms of IBS in the setting of matched patient-provider interactions.
Design
A three week randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing open-label placebo to no-treatment controls was conducted between August 2009 and April 2010 in a single academic medical center. Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to participation on the study. The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Institutional Review Board approved the design and informed consent.
Patients who gave informed consent and fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized into two groups: 1) placebo pill twice daily or 2) no-treatment. Before randomization and during the screening, the placebo pills were truthfully described as inert or inactive pills, like sugar pills, without any medication in it. Additionally, patients were told that “placebo pills, something like sugar pills, have been shown in rigorous clinical testing to produce significant mind-body self-healing processes.” The patient-provider relationship and contact time was similar in both groups.
Two-group, randomized, controlled three week trial (August 2009-April 2010) conducted at a single academic center, involving 80 primarily female (70%) patients, mean age 47±18 with IBS diagnosed by Rome III criteria and with a score ≥150 on the IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS). Patients were randomized to either open-label placebo pills presented as “placebo pills made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, that have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes” or no-treatment controls with the same quality of interaction with providers. The primary outcome was IBS Global Improvement Scale (IBS-GIS). Secondary measures were IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS), IBS Adequate Relief (IBS-AR) and IBS Quality of Life (IBS-QoL).
[..]
Discussion
We found that patients given open-label placebo in the context of a supportive patient-practitioner relationship and a persuasive rationale had clinically meaningful symptom improvement that was significantly better than a no-treatment control group with matched patient-provider interaction. To our knowledge, this is the first RCT comparing open-label placebo to a no-treatment control. Previous studies of the effects of open-label placebo treatment either failed to include no-treatment controls [27] or combined it with active drug treatment. [28] Our study suggests that openly described inert interventions when delivered with a plausible rationale can produce placebo responses reflecting symptomatic improvements without deception or concealment.
Our results challenge “the conventional wisdom” that placebo effects require “intentional ignorance.” [29] Our data suggest that harnessing placebo effects without deception is possible in the context of 1) an accurate description of what is known about placebo effects, 2) encouragement to suspend disbelief, 3) instructions that foster a positive but realistic expectancy, and 4) directions to adhere to the medical ritual of pill taking. It is likely our study also benefited from ongoing media attention giving credence to powerful placebo effects.
Both treatment arms were given in a context of a warm patient-provider relationship. It is possible that this relationship had a positive benefit for the patients, and indeed, the no-treatment arm showed improvement. Given that patients in both treatment arms experienced the same frequency and duration of contact time and the content of the interaction was very similar, we believe that the incremental improvement in our open-label arm was due to the addition of open-label placebo treatment. The magnitude of improvement reported by those on open-label placebo treatment was not only statistically significant but also clinically meaningful.
[..]
In summary, our study suggests that patients are willing to take open-label placebos and that such a treatment may have salubrious effects. Further research is warranted in IBS and perhaps other illnesses to confirm that placebo treatments can be beneficial when provided openly and to determine the best methods for administering such treatments.
