In a complex system of human health, the immune system is like a well-trained army that is always watching over us against the invasion of outside pathogens. At times, however, the army is caught in “disturbation” and “immunization errors” are at the root of rheumatism.
Under normal circumstances, the immune system is able to identify “enemy friends” with precision and to launch violent attacks against foreign aggressors, such as bacteria, viruses and so forth, without committing any crime against their own tissue cells. But with certain triggers, such as genetic susceptibility, environmental irritation, infection, the immune system is “enemy-free” and targets its own joints, muscles, skins, internal organs, etc., a “war” within the body, which is rheumatism.
In the case of rheumatism arthritis, for example, the patient’s immune system mistook the joints as “enemies” and the immune cells continued to “blast indiscriminately”, inflammating and thickening, gestationing and inflaming media, eroding the surrounding cartilages, bones, causing joint pain, swelling and deformities, which had become rigid with their flexible fingers, making everyday fists and possessions a luxury that seriously affected the quality of life.
The systematic red hemorrhoids are more like the crafty “multifaced hands”, and the immune system not only attacks the skin, triggers facial red spots and plate red spots, but also strains the kidneys, destroys the filtration function of the kidney ball and results in protein urine, oedema; attacks on the heart, causing cardiac inflammation and myocarditis; and waves and blood systems, causing a series of symptoms such as anaemia and reduction of white cells. The patient is in the mud and in many places “alarming” and suffering.
Dry syndrome, by definition, the main “field of battle” is in the circulatory gland. The immune system’s hand on saliva, tears, etc. reduces saliva, tears, dry mouths of patients, difficulty eating and swallowing, frequent drinking water, dry eyes, exotic senses, even corneal ulcers, blindness, etc., and little things in life become difficult.
How can these “immunological errors” be detected early on? In case of frequent and unsatisfied hypothermia of low heat, lack of strength, arthropodic acidity of the joint, repeated ulcers of the mouth in the presence of an unknown skin; eye, mouth drying abnormalities, etc., should be treated in a timely manner through blood tests (e.g. blood sank, C reaction proteins, self-antibody tests, etc.), video screening (X-ray, CT, MRI, etc.).
Understanding the mechanisms for the occurrence of rheumatism is like holding a “guideline” against the disease. Only early identification and accurate diagnosis can provide valuable time for effective follow-up treatment and disease control, and put the body’s immune system back on track to end this “immunity error” and return to a healthy life.
