The Links Between Autoimmunity and Infections Part I

Autoimmune diseases are often viewed as conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. But could underlying infections be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle?

In this upcoming AONM webinar, Gilian Crowther, AONM’s Director of Research and an experienced Nutritional Therapist, explores the growing body of evidence linking chronic infections with the development and progression of autoimmune diseases.

Drawing on the latest scientific research, alongside many years of clinical and laboratory experience working with ArminLabs in Germany, Gilian will discuss how identifying and addressing underlying infections may help practitioners better understand and support individuals with autoimmune conditions.

In this first part of the series, you’ll discover:

• The evidence linking infections with autoimmune diseases
• The potential role of infections in Type 1 Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and autoimmune thyroid disorders
• Laboratory testing that can help identify underlying infectious triggers
• How this knowledge can inform a more personalised approach to patient care

Whether you’re a healthcare practitioner looking to deepen your understanding of autoimmunity, or you’re interested in the emerging research surrounding infectious drivers of chronic disease, this webinar offers an evidence-informed perspective on an increasingly important area of functional and nutritional medicine
