Controversies and strategies in autoimmune disease epidemic
Studies show that 70 percent of autoimmune disease risk is associated with the person’s environment, whereas 30 percent is associated with their genetics, according to Aristo Vojdani, PhD, MSc, CLS, CEO and technical director of Immunosciences Lab.
“Pay attention to the environment because we cannot change our genetic makeup,” he said. “But we can change our environment.”
This environment includes not only where the person physically resides, but also the food they eat and the toxins they are exposed to, which may include cosmetics or other products used on a daily basis. Vojdani says a predictive autoantibody test would help patients measure their risk for autoimmune disease.
