This is my model to explain inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but I believe that it applies to so many other autoimmune processes, as well. Please note that I have only shown a few scenarios for disease, there are many more combinations in reality. The moving parts here have to do with the following:
- How much inflammation are you bathing in?
- Are you predisposed, presumably by genetics, to a hyper-sensitive immune response? (Represented by a wide plank, or short axle.)
- Do your microbiome, stress levels, diet, medications, and/or environmental exposures tip your scale in one direction?
Coming up: Which medications, herbs, supplements, hormones, etc. affect these individual factors and how to tell which what your unique situation is.
