In this video, we’re going to talk about autoimmune conditions. If you have an autoimmune condition, it’s important that you watch this video. I’ve done other videos on this topic, but you may not have seen them yet. I want to highlight one important point about the Th17 cell.

First, let's start by talking about the mechanisms behind autoimmunity. An autoimmune condition is a situation where your body has developed antibodies against its own healthy tissues.

There are a lot of unknowns about autoimmune conditions. But what we do know is that there’s something called a Th17 cell—also known as a T-helper 17 cell. This is a part of your immune system that does some very interesting things.

Autoimmune conditions start with an over-activation of the Th17 cell. If this cell is working too much, you can develop an autoimmune condition such as:
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• MS
• Lupus
• Psoriasis
• Asthma
• Allergies

The overactive of Th17 cells causes chronic inflammation. This is at the center of the collateral damage.

Vitamin D helps regulate Th17 cells, which can help promote a healthy immune system. Fasting can also be beneficial. See how these work for you.
