Systemic Solutions & Auto-Immune Disease

Advanced Systemic Solutions with Martyn Carruthers

It's easier for both health professionals and most of their patients to use drugs as a substitute for change. Self-medication with alcohol or nicotine, or prescription anti-depressants and stimulants are easier than applying intelligence, focus and analytical skills to complex relationship situations. Drugs are also cheaper for the patient (in the short term) and more profitable for the health professionals.

The long-term consequences and side-effects of psychoactive drugs are unacceptable to an increasing number of professionals and some patients.

What is Autoimmune Disease?

If you have an autoimmune disease, your own immune system attacks you. Autoimmune diseases are sometimes called collagen vascular diseases because your immune system may attack supportive tissues and blood vessels. The causes of autoimmune disease are not known.

In most autoimmune diseases the cause of antibody formation is unknown. Persons with myasthenia gravis make an antibody that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to muscle; this causes the muscle weakness and breathing difficulty associated with the disease. In autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the red blood cells are destroyed by autoantibodies. Persons with lupus erythematosus make antibodies that attack cell components, including genetic material.

If you have an autoimmune disease such as arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia, your immune system attacks your body tissues instead of protecting them. Common medical treatments attempt to relieve your pain and to suppress your immune system with steroids (corticosteroids) and other immunosuppressive drugs.

[ Lupus . Multiple Sclerosis . Arthritis ]

Systemic coaching finds that autoimmune conditions often originate in trauma, exposure to toxic materials and relationship chaos, and that nutritional and alternative approaches can complement mainstream medical treatment.

Some autoimmune symptoms appear to be triggered by food reactions and environmental sensitivities. Some people improve with vegetarian diets and some may benefit from avoiding foods high in both phenylalanine (chocolate, apples, chicken and peanuts) and tyrosine (dairy products, fish and oats). Many people respond to common foods such as wheat, potatoes, milk and barley with depression.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases includee lupus, multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia, but there are many others. Pemphigus vulgaris, for example, is a blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. Vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels) is also frequently autoimmune.

Vitiligo (patchy loss of skin color) and alopecia (patchy or complete baldness) are sometimes seen with autoimmune conditions. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis (inflammation of muscles and skin) are less common.

Medical Treatment

As the cause of autoimmunity is not understood, most medical treatment attempts to alleviate the symptoms, which vary according to the tissues being attacked. Pain-killers are commonly prescribed, as well as corticosteroids and other immune system suppressants. Regular exercise and adequate rest may help people enjoy more active lives.

Autoimmunity & Systemic Coaching

The older statistical paradigms used by many physicians are slowly being replaced by systemic paradigms. If autoimmune symptoms are examined systemically, systemic solutions for the symptoms may be found.

Systemic coaching examines whether autoimmune symptoms have a useful function in the relationships of the sufferer.

As people with autoimmune disease often have a family history of autoimmune symptoms, some disease symptoms may reflect relationship bonds: Systemic coaching may help people who have food allergies and sensitivities. Food allergies often have a systemic (relationship) basis.

If you want to learn more, use an internet search engine for "systemic coaching" with topics such as allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome or lupus. Or consider attending our Systemic Coach training.

Let your experience indicate whether or not you are on the right track. Don't end any medication or prescribed symptom suppression until you discuss your research and results with your physician. As you health improves, share your experiences to help other people build hope.

Where Are you Stuck?

What are you doing to move on? Are you waiting for something to happen? You are stuck only if you choose to be so. Instead of frustrating yourself, and others, you can get systemic coaching.

Many people with autoimmune diseases keep on moving on. Others quit and suffer - or die. Whatever brought your symptoms to the surface - it is your choice whether or not you do something about them.

Are you ready to move on - have you suffered enough - email us

Consult your physician about any opinions or recommendations about medical symptoms or other medical questions.

Do you want relationship coaching or systemic coach training? We can train you to coach individuals, partners and teams to resolve a wide range of emotional, educational and relationship challenges.
