Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. In all autoimmune diseases, the immune system also fights against some body tissues of the person by producing immune serum (antibodies). While this may be directed to a certain organ such as the thyroid and liver, it may sometimes be systemic rather than organ specific. In rheumatoid arthritis, the attack is in the joint cartilage and connective tissue. Inflammation develops here as a result of the perversion that occurs when the body attacks itself without germs.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune connective tissue disease. It is not known exactly what causes this perversion in the immune system. However, the genetic structure of the person and environmental factors (smoking and some infections) can cause this.
As in all autoimmune diseases, immunotherapy gives very positive results in rheumatoid arthritis.
It slows down the course of the disease and can completely eliminate the disease depending on the patient’s immune infrastructure. It helps to stop the immunosuppressive therapy and can provide a return to normal pain-free life.
Depending on the degree of contractures developed, of course, some joints may maintain their persistence despite immunotherapy. However, if permanent damage has not developed, other joints can be saved.
How to treat with immunotherapy?
First of all, WHY should be investigated in these patients as well as in all other patients. This research and the answers we will find form the basis of our treatment.
Our job is very easy with the people we reach the answers. Let’s move on to the treatment part immediately. While investigating the answers, a detailed immunity analysis should be done and insulin resistance, vitamin D level and Thyroid should be checked.
Whatever goes wrong with the immune system in the treatment is corrected. The treatment is completely personalized.
The standard approach does not change in rheumatoid arthritis, as in all our other immunotherapy patients.
The patient is scanned thoroughly.
All immunity, that is, immune system screening tests and examinations are done.
After a very good physical examination and anamnesis, the test results are combined and a conclusion is reached.
It is understood why the patient has inflammatory rheumatism and a treatment plan is made.
Nutrition is definitely regulated.
Plug tracking starts. Its treatment is usually only in the form of oral supplements.
Treatment may take 1-2 years. It depends on the degree of the disease. There are rheumatoid arthritis lupus cases that we took under complete control in 1 month.
