Dr LR Nandha Subbian\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n ABSTRACT KEY WORDS: Autoimmunity, Autoimmune Rubrics, Homoeopathy , Murphy Repertory.<\/p>\n INTRODUCTION An autoimmune disease is a condition in which our immune system mistakes our body cells to be foreign bodies. The immune system is normally designed to guard our body against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells (T cells and B cells and phagocytes) to attack them.<\/p>\n Normally, the immune system attacks only the foreign cells and can distinguish between foreign cells and our own cells. But in an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes some of our body\u2019s normal cells as foreign cells (joint or skin or an organ). It releases proteins called auto-antibodies that attack healthy cells, resulting in auto immune diseases.<\/p>\n Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Example- Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), affect the whole body.<\/p>\n Common auto immune diseases seen in our regular practice are:<\/p>\n The early symptoms of many autoimmune diseases are very similar:<\/p>\n Along with the other symptoms of the particular disease condition\u00a0 and part involved<\/p>\n IDENTIFICATION OF AUTOIMMUNITY: Other tests include auto antibodies produced in certain autoimmune diseases like Anti Thyroid per Oxidase (ATPO) or Anti microsomal antibodies (AMA) to diagnose auto immune thyroid disorders.<\/p>\n In case of prognosis, reduction in antinuclear antibodies is considered as first criteria.<\/p>\n Treatment Autoimmune response at the level of mind before the disease onset+ mental state after the disease onset + some characteristic symptoms of the patient = similimum for auto immune disease treatment.<\/p>\n In case of a congenital auto immune disease condition ,the pregnancy history and the maternal stress and auto immune response at the level of mind, during the time of pregnancy helps in finding out the similimum along with some characteristic symptoms of the patient.<\/p>\n Prognosis should be assessed based on Hering\u2019s law of cure as in any other cases.

\nAutoimmune diseases are those in which our body\u2019s own defense mechanism acts against our own body because immune cells are not able to differentiate between normal body cells and foreign cells. As there is an increasing number of autoimmune cases understanding about the disease and approach is important. As there is autoimmunity at the physical level, it can be preceded by autoimmunity at the level of mind also. If the autoimmunity at the level of mind is understood, the homoeopathic treatment can be made in ease. Here an attempt is made to list and explain a few important autoimmune rubrics that are placed in \u201cmind\u201d chapter of some modern repertories, which can be used as the entry point in the selection of similimum in treatment of autoimmune cases.<\/p>\n
\nAutoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells, tissues and other body normal constituents. Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an “autoimmune\u201d disease. \u00a0Prevalence rates range from less than 5 per 100,000 (e.g. chronic active hepatitis, uveitis) to more than 500 per 100,000 (Grave disease, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis).<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nNo single test can diagnose most autoimmune diseases. The\u00a0antinuclear antibody test (ANA)\u00a0is often one of the first tests that suggest an autoimmune disease. A positive test means you may have one of these diseases, but it won\u2019t confirm exactly the diagnosis. The other test being C reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) which helps in identifying the auto immune disease<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The main treatment for autoimmune diseases is with the use of medications that bring down inflammation and calm the overactive immune response. But these in turn weakens the immune system and makes way for other possible infections.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n<\/strong>In treatment of auto immune cases when there is a psychological stress before the onset of disease and individualistic reaction to disease is clearly understood, it can be considered as entry point for the case, the similimum can be found in ease. In such cases mental disposition of the patient should not be considered where as present mental state should be taken into the consideration for selection of similimum.<\/p>\n\n
