Your body can attack itself.
When it does, the standard response has been to suppress your entire immune system.
That's starting to change

Sleep "hygiene" doesn't mean much when your nervous system is wired from trauma, chronic pain, and autoimmunity. I tried to outrun it with supplements + kale. That's not where it gets fixed. New Trail Provisions post: buff.ly/myVOfZ3

"These observations underscore that eligibility for cellular immunotherapy should be guided by biological rather than chronological fitness—a principle of particular relevance for autoimmune diseases, which frequently affect older populations."

As well as being Juvenile Arthritis Month, March is also Autoimmune Awareness month which ties in very well for raising awareness of JIA because #JIA is an autoimmune condition. We are proud to be part of the Connect Immune Research Partnership.

Anyone else notice the worsts stretches track to #gut chaos? That #flare that wouldn't quit? Seen it in #Lupus, #RheumatoidArthritis. Flare hits → appetite tanks → fiber/ferments drop → microbial shift → extended inflammation loop. Not the cause, but a layer that can amplify #autoimmunity.
