YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAutoimmunity
As well as allergies, hypersensitivity may manifest as autoimmunity. In health, the immune system protects against invading infection by reacting against foreign proteins. The immune system should recognise body tissues as part of the 'self', and therefore not attack them. However, in autoimmune disease there is a breakdown in the self/non-self recognition system which results in the immune system attacking the bodies own proteins and tissues. In military terms this would be described as attack from 'friendly fire'. In autoimmunity the immune system reacts to some of the bodies own tissues as if they were invading infections agents which need to be eliminated. The immune system is making a mistake, and is attacking the very tissues it is supposed to defend. Autoimmune diseases you may come across include diabetes mellitus type 1, Graves' disease, Addison's disease, pernicious anaemia, rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
