Improvements In Autoimmune Disease And Nerve Conditions

By Donna Cox


When it comes to disease, there are often a number of options when it comes to treatment. One of the newest with regards to improvements in autoimmune disease is that of antibiotic therapy. While this is the case, not all agree this is the right approach. As such, each individual must decide whether or not undergoing this type of treatment is worth the health risks, time and cost associated with antibiotics on a long-term basis.

Whether a health care professional, patient or student, there are also those who hope that since it has been discovered that viral and bacterial infections have been found to be the root cause of many ailments, antibiotic therapy can provide a cure. In addition, the discovery also has the potential to provide prevention by treating these infections at the first sign of illness.

Depending on the autoimmune disease being treated, individuals respond differently to different types of treatment. As a result, medical schools, students and researchers are now looking at this information to determine if there can be an all encompassing treatment plan for various ailments. While this is the case, individuals need be cautious before concluding that the disease has been cured, especially if receiving disability income or pension in associated with the conditions.

Some conditions under the guise of autoimmune diseases include Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Lupus, MS and Rheumatoid Arthritis. In most cases, these have been proven as some of the most difficult ailments to treat. As a result, many of those suffering from these ailments are on addictive pain medication or alternatives such as medical marijuana and other holistic treatment plans.

Researchers in this area have now discovered that in the majority of cases, individuals contracted the illness through untreated viral and bacterial infections. As this is the case, while it may take a great deal longer than if treated for the infection, the same type of antibiotic treatment has proven to be effective in eliminating chronic illnesses brought about by an initial infection.

While recovery is slow, it is often better than ongoing pain alleviation without a cure. In fact, other chronic diseases such as MS, Lupus and other diseases have also shown promising results when undergoing this type of therapy. As such, a number of individuals are now being treated with antibiotics on a trial basis.

While the discovery of antibiotic therapy and recovery have been impressive, it is important to note that is still important to maintain an ongoing relationship with a health care provider. For, there are a number of associated chronic ailments which can tear down body tissue, leaving one vulnerable to other issues in the future. As such, the quicker a viral or bacterial infection can be treated, the less likely the individual is to have a relapse of a chronic condition in the future.

Research is underway with regards to nerve related conditions such as Parkinson's and other chronic illnesses in this area. If bacterial or viral infections are proved to be the root cause of these conditions, then it is believed Parkinson's and other nervous conditions could potentially be prevented. As such, the best prevention against autoimmune or nerve related issues could most likely be to visit a health care provider at the first sign of a bacterial or viral infection.
