They will detail a number of important, foundational considerations that are applicable to all chronic autoimmune cases, as well as give you a variety of disease-specific considerations from a practitioner’s perspective. For your client, this site will likely be helpful and give accessible explanations for some of the dynamics at play in scleroderma specifically: https://www.amymyersmd.com/article/reverse-scleroderma-naturally/ .

You are so very welcome, Claire! We are glad you found the presentation helpful and informative.

I was able to take away a key point in noting just how much is at play and the likelihood of someone developing another auto-immune disease after further suppression of the immune system through the typically prescribed medications.
