 Amazon.com: Books: Thriving With Your Autoimmune Disorder: A Woman's Mind-Body Guide
The author does not substantially address the many environmental factors that are thought to contribute to autoimmune disease, and provides little in the way of leading-edge information on traditional or alternative-medicine approaches to specific conditions, or autoimmune diseases as a whole.
Her primary interest appears to be psychological health, and this interest seems evident, because it is through this lens that her approach to autoimmune diseases appears to be heavily filtered.
While the author means well, she is a psychologist with expertise in post-traumatic stress syndrome, and according to her author bio, she conducts workshops on stress management in her practice.

Future research are needed to explore the nature of PANDAS and their relationship with different psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.
Although much research remains to be done, an increasing body of evidence provides support for the postulate that OCD and tic disorders may arise from post-streptococcal autoimmunity.
It is, however, important to distinguish between these two post-streptococcal disorders since their response to therapy differs.

 Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder
If advocates for autoimmune diseases can unite, the magnitude of the problem will compel researchers, and more importantly the funding sources, drug companies and the government, to recognize autoimmunity as a priority for research and development.
New knowledge and treatments will come from other disease research, especially AIDS and Cancer research, which are richly funded.
Thomas McPherson Brown MD has shown that antibiotics enhance the immune system by removing Mycoplasma that the immune system is attempting to eliminate.

In Rave's case, it simply would have "bought her time" for the drugs to work - drugs to which she was not responding at all.
Many believe that bad vaccines or over-vaccination (vaccinating more than is necessary, therefore weakening the natural immune system) can instigate the disorder.
We began an immediate drug therapy of prednisone and an antibiotic to help with the high temperature.

 HSS - HSS - Newsroom: Autoimmune Disorder Treatments
Although these disorders are not well understood, what doctors do know is that the immune system -- the very mechanism designed to protect the body against disease -- turns on itself, attacking the joints, skin or other organs at random.

 Autoimmune diseases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes the body's immune system to attack the bone joints.
Women tend to be affected more often by autoimmune disorders, nearly 79% of autoimmune disease patients in the USA are women [1].
Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body.

 Bowel Finding Suggests Autism Is Autoimmune Disorder
Use of immunohistochemical techniques had suggested a novel form of colitis, in which the epithelium of the colon was particularly affected (Journal of Pediatrics 2001; 138: 366-372), and, thus, possibly suggestive of autoimmunity.
Further work thus clearly needs to be done to determine the role of the "gut-brain axis" in autism.
This finding suggests that autism may be an autoimmune disorder.

 Strep Link To Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
"A bacteria trigger for an autoimmune response" can lead to a worsening of obsessive-compulsive disorder, reported Dr. Susan E. Swedo, head of the section on behavioral pediatrics at the NIMH.
Studies show antidepressants in combination with cognitive behavior therapy can decrease symptoms of this disorder.
Swedo said that OCD is a "hidden epidemic." Feelings of embarrassment and knowledge of their irrational state force most patients to live an average of 17 years with the symptoms before seeking a diagnosis, Swedo added.
