Autoimmune, what is it? Autoimmune disorders cause abnormally low activity or over activity of the immune system. With hair loss alopecia areata, the body attacks and damages its own tissues. Lowered immunity and deficiency decrease the body’s ability to fight invaders, causing immune vulnerability. The bodies response to a trigger such as deficiency, the immune system may begin producing antibodies that attack the body’s own healthy tissues instead of protecting against invaders. Autoimmune diseases treatment generally focuses on reducing immune system activity using immune suppressants.[1] There is mounting evidence and treatment success by supporting the immune system function, cellular health and identifying and supporting deficiency.

The reason for autoimmune increase; there are many environmental factors contributing to lowered immunity and autoimmune responses including but not limited to chemicals, toxins, pesticides, fertilizers and GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). They all contribute to breaking down our microbiome, which is much larger than originally thought of the immune system good bacteria and digestive tract health and function. Playing a big role here in supporting the immune system is food. In the case of gluten, it is breaking down the immune system leading to all sorts of other problems including nutritional deficiencies and leaky gut.
With autoimmune hair and scalp problems they are most commonly caused by a trigger we can find in your individual story with stress long and short term playing a part, depending on the severity. Absolique Trichologist finds in most cases there is a relation to existing deficiencies such as ferritin, vitamin D and vitamin B12 which you may not have known about. Getting a deficiency diagnosis from a doctor is difficult and misinterpreted because of old reference ranges and poor understanding of how much low levels can impact hair and scalp as it is not a medical health concern. Evan at the low end of the range you are deemed normal but normal is not good enough to prevent and treat autoimmune conditions and address hair loss. Absolique Trichologist can help you to learn about your individual immune requirement levels if you are affected by autoimmune conditions specifically related to hair and scalp.
