A healthy immune system works to fight off diseases and infection in the body. Autoimmune diseases affect different areas of the body, causing your immune system to attack healthy cells by mistake. There are over eighty different autoimmune diseases. Because most autoimmune diseases have similar symptoms, it can take medical experts even longer to confirm a diagnosis, and thus, begin treatment. Most autoimmune diseases have several symptoms in common, including:

• Fatigue
• Low-grade fever 
• Inflammation
• Muscle aches

After recent successes with stem cell therapy being used to treat and reduce symptoms in other diseases and conditions, many patients with autoimmune diseases are turning to stem cell therapy to seek relief from their chronic pain. For most autoimmune diseases, we focus treatment on two goals — reducing inflammation in the affected areas, and suppressing an overactive immune system to help reduce and prevent further attacks on healthy cells. Stem cells have natural anti-inflammatory properties that help provide immediate relief from chronic pain.
