Auto Immune Disorder

In the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty is a princess sent into a 100-year slumber by an evil witch. A kiss from a handsome prince breaks the spell, and they live happily ever after.

The present-day "Sleeping Beauty," as the media calls her, is a 17-year-old woman in Worthing, England, named Louisa Ball. Instead of the fairy tale's poisoned splinter, her curse began with flu-like symptoms two years ago.

"Bad cold, temperature ... and from then on that's when I started to sleep," she said.

She wouldn't stop for 10 to 14 days.

Her parents would rouse her for bathroom breaks and ravenous feedings.

"She'd go through a whole packet of biscuits, or ... five or six packets of crisps -- anything that she could get her hands on," said her father, Rick Ball. "It was a case of almost like a hamster hibernating, and the food would get stuffed in. And you'd have to step in and say, 'Whoa, that's enough.'"

Her mother, Lottie Ball, added, "I asked to see a dietician ... because I was concerned when Louisa was in an episode that, you know, she is missing out on all the goodness."

The advice she got was to give Louisa smoothies, which gave her food and fluid at the same time.

Even so, Louisa would lose as much as 10 pounds during a sleep episode. Even odder than her eating habits was her behavior, which featured offensive, almost primal, mood swings.

"They're horrible. They're scary, it's like a different child," said Lottie Ball.

The parents knew a sleep episode was coming when their otherwise sweet-natured daughter would snap at others inappropriately.

"When she's up and she's confrontational, those were the scarier moments," Rick Ball said.

The year before college, Louisa slept for a solid week every month. She missed weeks of school and fell behind in her beloved dance classes.

"I missed my end-of-school exams, obviously, because I was in an episode," she said. "I've missed, like, family holidays, birthdays and parties."

The doctors were as baffled as Louisa's parents.

"To see all the various medical professionals and not get any answers ... it was pretty frustrating," said Rick Ball. "Everything goes through your mind, and you wonder whether or not she has taken a drug."

Then came a breakthrough, courtesy of a consultant in London to whom the family was referred.

"I always refer to it as the 'Champagne and hangover' moment," said Rick Ball, "because we went in there and the good news was, 'I think I know what's wrong with your daughter.' And the bad news was, 'There's no cure.

The most common cuase in diseases .” autoimmune disorders”

The most common cause of all diseases is inflammation .

Researchers call it the “unifying theory” behind the major killers of our times among cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes & scores of other diseases

Inflammation, as most people know by the red, painful swelling that follows an injury, bug bite or other surface wound. But it also exists in tissue far below the skin, and scientists are  convinced this below-the-eye inflammation is the culprit that worsens many chronic diseases.

 While inflammation is the immune system’s response for beating back invaders in the body, inflammation gone unchecked can lead to heart attacks and strokes, cancers, AIDs, cause Alzheimer’s disease by destroying brain cells, and causes diabetes.

Out of control inflammation is linked to clinical depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, osteoarthritis, liver disease and hypertension, and all others disorders.

Chronic inflammation is caused by the persistent presence of pathogens and environmental pollutants, lifestyle and genetics, among others factors.

 Inflammation in autoimmune diseases is the number one disease process & killer on Planet Earth. In autoimmune diseases our own white cells start attacking the body organs. The attack is triggered by infections, surgery, injury , inhalation of pollutants and stress . .  Diseases like Alzheimer’s, Autism, Asthma, Lou Gehrig’s, hearing disorders, Multiple sclerosis, Lupus, Takayasu, Parkinsons, Epilepsy, Arthritis, pain, heart problems, skin diseases, diabetes & cancer are all autoimmune. A proper diet and supplements can stop these diseases in their tracks & can reverse  them.

If a disease has good & bad days, or it is progressive, consider it to be a autoimmune disorder. If the disease started after pregnancy, surgery, car accidents, toxic exposure or living close to a dump, its autoimmune. The sooner you change your lifestyle the better the results.  Autoimmune diseases are triggered after pregnancy including Vasculitis, depression & PTSD. Stop inflammation and stop cancer and all diseases.

P.T.S.D . (post traumatic stress disorder), depression, anxiety, O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder), heart disease, bowel, kidney, breathing and skin disorders, memory loss & epilepsy are all immune mediated.  Sudden onset of hearing loss, visual disorders & infertility are all immune mediated.
