The body’s immune system is a wonderful thing when it’s working properly. It keeps infection at bay and protects an injured area from getting reinjured while it heals. Sometimes, however, the immune system misfires and sends out signals when none are needed. In those instances, the inflammation attacks the body, creating autoimmune disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. We discuss these autoimmune disorders in this section.

Autoimmune disorders seem to be associated with leaky gut syndrome (see the preceding section), and people with these disorders also have a higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency. An anti-inflammatory diet and stress reduction may improve autoimmune conditions.
