Trial of Autoimmune Disease Treatment - Visualisation Therapy

An autoimmune disease is a disorder of the immune system, whereby it produces antibodies (immune cells and cell particles) that actually attack specific tissue and proteins belonging to the person. This causes tissue damage, and subsequent loss of function, pain, and in severe cases, death. Common autoimmune conditions include Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Graves Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia, Crohn’s Disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Sjogren’s Syndrome and perhaps most commonly of all - Coeliac Disease (or celiac). Natural/Alternative Treatment is difficult and unproven - at present there is no known reliable cure for the condition.
Following is a list of many disease conditions which are classified as, or are caused by,
autoimmune diseases:
The following diseases are primarily allergic condiions, but they may have an
autoimmune component to them as well:
Asthma
Scleroderma
Systemic Sclerosis
Dermatitis
Grave’s Disease
Fibrosing Alveolitis
Hayfever
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Tumors
Rhinitis
Auto immune Disease
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Infections (except parasitic)
Bronchitis
Endometriosis
Haemolytic Anaemia
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE
Fibromyalgia
Thrombocytopenia
Diabetes Type 2
There is very little solid scientific evidence supporting any autoimmune disease cure, however there are several anectodotal reports. Those people who claim to have cured themselves have done so using a variety of different therapies, including homeopathy and guided visualisations/guided imagery.
Autoimmune diseases (sometimes spelt auto immune) develop due to suppression of the immune system, which then loses its ability to efficiently identify self from non-self. A common trigger prior to the onset of the condition is exposure of the immune system to an exogenous protein (a particle that enters the body from outside itself), part of the structure of which resembles a part of the body itself. The person's immune system reacts against this protein (or proteins) and retains a memory of it as being foreign, and then atacks other protein particles which are normal parts of the human body, which the immune system has now mistakenly identified as being foreign.
Trial of Autoimmune Disease Treatment:
In my clinic I would like to carry out trials using visualisation techniques with sufferers of autoimmune diseases. It is my belief that the immune system may be able to be reprogrammed using the power of the mind. Participants in such a trial would need to be prepared to attend a minimum of 2 sessions a week with a guided visualisation practitioner, and should also be willing to listen to a variety of meditation CD's and practice meditation techniques for at least an hour a day. Ideally, they would also be committed to improving their general health to optimise their chances of achieving a cure for their disease, if this can indeed be achieved at all. It must be emphasised that this is simply a trial, and no guarantee of a cure, or even significant improvement, can be made.
