Comprehensive resource on the science of autoimmune disorders,
covering causes, treatment, prevention, and the latest research in the
field
Autoimmune Disorders is an authoritative
reference on the science of autoimmune disorders, covering their causes,
including infections, vaccine adjuvants, environmental stimuli, and
silicone implants, the latest research on the genetics, epigenetics, and
immunology of autoimmunity, predictive markers, therapeutic approaches
for treatment and prevention, and suggestions for future research
directions.
This book explores the intricate connections between
adjuvants and autoimmune responses, focusing on the emergence of the
Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA syndrome),
as well as autoimmune connections in areas such as chronic fatigue
syndrome, autoantibodies targeting the autonomic system, and small fiber
neuropathy. The authors emphasize the profound impact of vaccines on
public health, underscoring that their benefits far outweigh potential
side effects and exploring the historical context of adjuvants in
vaccine development. From tattoos to environmental factors, each chapter
adds a unique thread to the tapestry of adjuvants, autoimmune
responses, and their interactions.
Sample topics covered in Autoimmune Disorders include:
- Food
additives and dental implants as a trigger of autoimmunity and
increased risk of ASIA syndrome as a result of the chemical and social
factors
- Sustained immune activation in ASIA syndrome as a
bridge to lymphomagenesis and how immune checkpoints, metals, and
bisphenol connect to autoimmunity
- Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Sick Building syndrome, and Gulf War syndrome (GWS) as parts of ASIA syndrome
- Sarcoidosis and Sjögren’s syndrome as a proof of concept of hyperstimulation syndrome
Autoimmune Disorders is
an essential reference on the subject for academics, specialized
postgraduate students, and practicing professionals seeking to improve
integrated research strategies and foster a deeper understanding of the
complex relationship between immunology, public health, and individual
well-being.
