From Page to Practice: Applying Research to Support Clients with Autoimmune Conditions
One of the reasons I love hard copy books is that the information can’t be hidden or scrubbed electronically.
I’ve had this book for several years and pulled it out again recently because I have a young, (previously vibrant ) young client who has recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.
When I inquired about her vaccination status (in discovery), she said she is “up to date” on her vaccines.
This means she’s likely had well over 70 vaccines already in her young life.
Hashimoto’s is one of the most common AutoImmune disorders of all, and it affects women more commonly than men (likely because it is so closely tied to our sex hormones which are much more fragile in balance than men’s testosterone).
There are over 100 different autoimmune disorders out there, and if the root causes are left unaddressed, one will lead to more. Guaranteed.
Are vaccines and drugs the only things causing autoimmune disorders? Absolutely not…. we live in a toxic soup world and if we don’t take the bull by the horns and be our own advocates we very much put ourselves and those we love at risk. This is one of the reasons cleaning up our own environments (food choices, household, personal care products, makeup etc) is so important.
The application of knowledge is power, and the application of knowledge gives us the opportunity to both prevent destruction and to heal.

Beyond Side Effects: The Decades-Long Link Between Medications and Autoimmune Disease
It’s hard to shock me when it comes to pharma and the collateral damage it is capable of, but my research today has me drop jawed.
Any other pharmacists, nurses, doctors, NP’s, or other allopathically trained professionals….. help me out here. Were you aware of the scope/magnitude of this statement?
“Although autoimmunity secondary to drugs has been recognized for over 70 years (the 70 years part is what is shocking to me, and that it’s being stated in this book), introducing new drugs has extended the spectrum and severity of clinical manifestations.”
Source: Drug-Induced Autoimmunity (by Szyper-Kravitz, Shoenfeld and Hernandez, published January 2025 pages 75-79)
The clip I’ve posted here is of another journal article. Notice the date…. 2002 (and this particular article is specific to the autoimmune disease, lupus). Not new news. Look at the “probable” list….. such commonly prescribed drugs!
Look at the “probable” list….. such commonly prescribed drugs!Autoimmune disorders are like cats….. you rarely end up with just one…. it’s a spiral if you don’t get things under control and corrected within the body (starting with the gut!).
Medication should be a LAST choice after all other options have been tried.
THIS is why I do what I do. There is a time and a place for western medicine (emergent care or when all else has been tried). Find your guide. It may not be me…. and that’s ok. But find your person who can lead you out of the pharma lifestyle. You are worth knowing your options.

Grounding refers to direct skin contact with the surface of the earth. Science has found that grounding in this way has amazing benefits in “supporting proper inflammatory response, helps normalize the day-night cortisol rhythm, reduces pain and stress, and shifts the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic to parasympathetic activation” and more.
