A May 2022 NIH Report on autoimmune research makes clear why the AIID epidemic remains invisible & silent.

In that post, we surveyed the sorry state of US national autoimmune incidence & prevalence data. Summary: Per the May 2022 NIH Report: Enhancing Autoimmune Research the US has

Patients with chronic pain may know that conventional therapies such as physical therapy, can benefit them to a certain extent, but definitely have their limits. DrBonnie360 is herself a longtime chronic pain patient and has amassed a great amount of research and insight into alternative movement therapies to help manage chronic pain. Check out this article to explore her presentation on personalized movement therapy from the A4M Annual World Congress.
Rheumatoid arthiritis, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune dosorders, and Alzheimer’s dementia: what if all of these disparate diseases could be treated by targeting a single source? In fact, research shows that this is possible. The oral microbiome is the target of numerous therapeutics opportunities that DrBonnie360 delves into in her presentation at The Microbiome Therapeutics US Conference.
Autoimmune diseases are invisible: they often don’t present externally and seemingly slip through the grasp of doctors’ diagnoses. These are glimpses of the stories and voices of autoimmune patients from our Stanford MedicineX Workshop Survey that highlight the long and arduous struggles many autoimmune patients face with diagnosis.
