ALTHOUGH, I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT, AND PUBLISHED STORIES/ARTICLES, BEFORE; EVEN SHOWING THE “SCIENTIFIC” DATA AND REPUTABLE SCIENCES AND INSTITUTIONS, INVOLVED IN MY RESEARCHES: I HOPE THIS STORY AND ARTICLE WILL HELP YOU ALL TO GO DO YOUR OWN STUDIES, ABOUT “THE TRUE/TRUTH” OF NOT JUST “GLOBAL WARMING” BUT, THE “NASTY/TOXIC CRAP” THAT WE ALL MUST ABSORB THROUGH OUR BODIES AND HOW “ADAPTING LIVING VIRUSES ARE ABLE TO THRIVE” AND CHANGE AND SEEK TO DESTROY US; CAUSED BY MAN/WOMAN KIND’S POISONING OF THE EARTH…

WHETHER WE WANT TO ADMIT THE “TRUE/TRUTHS” OR NOT; CERTAINLY MANY THINGS ARE HAPPENING WITH OUR “CLIMATES”, AIR, WATER, FOODS, BODIES, AND WE ARE BEING ATTACKED BY “MICRO ALIENS”! *©C.O.V.I.D. ALIENS, *©C.O.V.I.D. INVASION, *©MICRO-ALIENS…OUR GROUP OF COMPANIES, RECENTLY OBTAINED THE “COPYRIGHTS” APPROVALS FROM THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS FOR THOSE ABOVE MENTIONED BRANDS>>> FUTURE STORIES TO COME (GOD WILLING)…

HOLLYWOOD HAS TRAINED US TO PRETTY MUCH “SEE/ENVISION/THINK OF” TYPES OF INVASIONS AND “ALIENS” AS LITTLE GRAY/GREEN/HUMANISTIC LOOKING CREATURES; BUT, “TRUE/TRUTH” IS THAT “FOREIGN/ALIEN” INVADERS AND ELEMENTS DON’T ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK LIKE WHAT HOLLYWOOD HAS SAID NOR WHAT NASA AND OUR SPACE SYSTEMS HAVE SAID.??!! NOT ALL “ALIENS” HAVE TO RESEMBLE “E.T./THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL”!!!

A YOUNG BOY ONCE STATED: “JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT IT; DOES NOT MEAN, THAT IS DOESN’T EXIST”!!!!!!

When your body attacks itself:

The Rising Toll of Autoimmune Diseases in Older People

Why the risk of these common disorders may be much higher than it was for our parents

by Jessica Migala, AARP, August 10, 2021

EXCERPT:

For Debby Vivari, 68, it manifested as insomnia, a tightness in her face, and eyes so dry that no amount of artificial tears could stop the burn. The now-retired IT pro from Rockville, Maryland, was told she had Sjögren’s syndrome, which attacks the body’s moisture-producing glands.

For Hedy Govenar, it started in 2007 when she noticed her golf game was suffering. Her arms felt unusually heavy; soon the 77-year-old from Sacramento, California, was struggling to brush her teeth. The diagnosis: giant cell arteritis, a disease affecting blood vessels that feed the head, neck and arms.

What 70-year-old Gene Davis thought was a stomach bug only got worse, until the retired financial manager from Allentown, Pennsylvania, found he had to stay within sprinting distance of a bathroom at all times. His doctors informed him he had ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.

Paula Cross, 59, was driving near her home in Niles, Ohio, when her vision in one eye went completely black for three seconds. Cross saw an ophthalmologist, who, when she noticed that Cross’ eyes were visibly bulging, diagnosed her with thyroid eye disease, in which antibodies attack both the thyroid and certain cells surrounding the eyes.

These four people experienced wildly different symptoms, and each individual had a different diagnosis. The root cause of the various maladies, however, was the same.

All four patients’ immune systems had staged an inexplicable attack on a part of their body.

A medical puzzle

Autoimmune diseases — a diverse class of afflictions caused by an errant immune system — are scary, often debilitating and sometimes deadly. And for reasons that researchers don’t fully understand, cases seem to be rising precipitously, especially among people age 50-plus.

“I’ve been trying to unravel the mysteries of autoimmunity for four decades,” says Frederick Miller, M.D., scientist emeritus with the Environmental Autoimmunity Group at the National Institutes of Health. “Autoimmune conditions, like most diseases, are diseases of age.” If they’re increasing, as his research suggests, over the next 50 years, autoimmune diseases as a group will be some of the most common and costly diseases in society, he notes.

How autoimmune disease manifests itself varies so much that more than 100 conditions fall into this category. Some are mild and manageable; others, life altering. Among the most common autoimmune disorders in the U.S. are Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease (an immune reaction to gluten, the protein in wheat, barley and rye) and psoriasis. What brings them together is their root cause: Your immune system is battling some part of you — an organ, your nerves, your joints, your skin, your blood vessels.

When your body attacks itself

“With an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks healthy tissues and structures in your body,” says Timothy Niewold, M.D., director of the NYU Langone Judith and Stewart Colton Center for Autoimmunity. “These normal defenses, which work to keep viruses and bacteria at bay to prevent illness, have essentially gotten confused and set off friendly fire against your own body.”

If it seems like you’ve been hearing more about these diseases over the past few years, you’re not wrong. Ghostbusters star Harold Ramis died at age 69 in 2014 of complications from vasculitis, an autoimmune inflammation of the blood vessels. In 2016, Eagles cofounder Glenn Frey succumbed at 67 to complications caused by two autoimmune diseases — rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis — and pneumonia. And younger celebrities, including Venus Williams, Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian West, have opened up about their issues with similar diseases.

Overall, as many as 23.5 million people in the United States have an autoimmune disorder, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. But it wasn’t until Miller’s groundbreaking study, published in 2020 in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology, that strong evidence emerged that these conditions may indeed be on the rise.

His team analyzed the blood samples of 14,211 people ages 12 to 90 taken over a span of more than two decades, looking for the prevalence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), the most common biomarker of autoimmune disease. “ANA do not tell you if you have an autoimmune disease, though in many cases they can be the first sign of some immune irregularity that could later lead to one,” Miller explains. ANA can be present for many years before any symptoms start, and some people with ANA may never develop an autoimmune disease.

Still, the results of Miller’s research were startling. About 11 percent of all people tested between 1988 and 1991 had ANA in their blood, indicating that about 22 million people were affected. That percentage steadily increased through the decades, until 2011 to 2012, when it reached nearly 16 percent. This corresponded to about 41 million people, which is a near doubling of possibly affected individuals.

The two groups that saw the biggest rise? Adolescents and older adults. In fact, after adjusting for differences in sex, race, smoking, alcohol use and body mass index — all factors that have been independently shown to be associated with autoimmune disease — Miller’s research team found that, compared with 25 years ago, older adults today have a 50 percent higher risk of having ANA in their blood.

THESE “TRUE/TRUTHS” ABOUT OUR OWN “SINFUL BEHAVIORS” IS GOING TO “SHOCK YOU ALL”!!!
