Inflammation, inflammation, inflammation --- is the root of autoimmune disease. We have to continue to get a handle on this. Diet is a huge factor.

Agree Agree Agree....also gluten is a source too. Gluten Free is the way to go. Gluten causes inflammation

Yes, for awhile there Gluten was in a very small shelf in the store. Now packaging tells if it is non gluten. I agree it boils down to what we eat. But, in the past when we ate of the junk food and had hamburger night a home, little did we know that they more than likely introduced Pesticides, antibiotics, and fat that hardens in our blood vessels. Until about 4 years ago, I was a terrible eater. My husband had died and I did not want to cook. Hello Fast Food, french Fries, frozen dinners. Now, if it is lunchtime and I am not hungry, I might have a juice drink. If I eat my larger meal for lunch, dinner is way less. I can only hope it works.

I don't disagree, but what does a physician do when the patient is not willing to do their part and follow a healthy diet which could improve their condition? I think it is too easy in this country to settle for taking a pill versus change one's lifestyle to improve (at least to some degree) their overall condition. Doctors are in a tough position. That's all. Thanks.
