As I have read through this website, I have not found any references at all to the amazing impact that diet has on autoimmune disorders. I have Henoch Schonlein Purpura, a type of autoimmune vasculitis, and have almost completely eliminated my symptoms by removing complex carbohydates from my diet. This diet is knows as the SPECIFIC CARBOHYDRATE DIET and is well researched and resources are readily available. I am a nurse as well as a life coach and it is my pleasure to support people with health challenges to find the triggers in their diet and to successfully remove them. The results have been life changing for me and my family as well as the clients I have worked with for the last 25 years.

My immunologist tested me for my immune system subsets and mannose-binding lectin. Both areas had deficiencies. My MBL was .57 s/b greater than 100 and my IGG4 was undetectable. Is there any research about correcting deficient immune systems? I got a pnuemonia vaccine and it increased my IGG4 to 2.74 from undetectable. I have autoimmune thyroid.

During this journey to finding out what's wrong with me I found one very interesting bit of information. I have a dysfunction with my innate immune system. My immunologist tested me for mannose-binding lectin and it came back deficient. He only did the test because he just learned about it at a seminar. My 2 endo's have never even heard of it. How hard is it to just do all the testing of an individuals immune system????? I have autoimmune thyroid (Hashimoto’s).
