For some people, the immune system malfunctions and starts creating antibodies to its own tissues- such as thyroid gland, joint tissues, skin, intestines and others – known as “auto-antibodies”. We can test for these auto-antibodies. With proper treatment, it might be possible in some cases to have the body stop making auto-antibodies and reverse the course of autoimmune diseases. Low-dose naltrexone is only one part of the potential solution.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”70″ bottom_padding=”70″ overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
