Symptom #8: Autoimmune Disease
Our immune systems do a wonderful job at protecting us from illnesses. Whenever a potentially harmful microbe or parasite enters the body, our immune systems set about dealing with the intruder straight away. The intruders are usually dealt with quickly and effectively, leaving us unharmed.
