Riddle of immunity. Mechanism of development of autoimmune diseases and available ways to stop this process

Autoimmune diseases are one of the most common causes of death among people under 70 years old, especially women.
If you come to a wedding with a hundred guests, one of them will have rheumatoid arthritis. If you have a thousand friends on a social network, it is likely that two of them have multiple sclerosis. If you have an autoimmune disease, most likely you are not the only one among relatives and friends. If you do not have such a problem, you know for sure someone who has it. Tens of millions of people around the world, year after year, live with the consequences of mistakes in their immune system.
Today, science knows more than a hundred autoimmune diseases, the most common of which are:
- rheumatoid arthritis,
- Psoriasis,
- multiple sclerosis,
- diabetes of the first type,
- Celiac disease,
- irritable bowel syndrome.
In this book, Anita Kass describes the work of the human immune system and explains what can happen if something in the debugged immune processes will go wrong
