Peptide Therapy For Autoimmune Skin Disorders

Autoimmune skin disorders are visible ramifications when the immune system attacks the healthy cells and tissues in the body.

About Autoimmune Skin Disorders

What are Autoimmune Disorders?

The immune system is a complex network of cells, proteins, tissues, and organs that defends and protects the body against viruses, bacteria, fungi, germs, and microorganisms. In order to function well, this intricate system needs balance and harmony.

When a foreign invader enters the body, the immune system sends out cells that fight these off. The immune system normally distinguishes the difference between the body’s cells and foreign cells.

However, in some cases, the immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy cells and tissues in the body. This results in autoimmune disorders.

Autoimmune diseases have similar symptoms. The most common are:

• Fatigue
• Muscle aches
• Joint pain
• Low fever
• Inflammation that causes heat, redness, swelling, and pain

 

There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases. Although no one knows the root cause, autoimmune diseases tend to run in families. Also, women are more susceptible than men.

 

Autoimmune Skin Disorders

An autoimmune disorder may affect several organs, of which the most common are the blood vessels, endocrine glands, connective tissues, joints, muscles, red blood cells, and the skin.

Since the skin is the most visible area affected by autoimmune diseases, the symptoms may appear through blisters, lesions, rashes, and scaly patches.

The following are the most common types of autoimmune skin disorders:

• Behcet’s Disease
• Dermatomyositis
• Dermatitis herpetiformis (Duhring’s disease)
• Lichen Planus
• Linear IgA Disease
• Lupus
• Pemphigus

 

The management of autoimmune diseases mostly focuses on relieving the symptoms of autoimmune diseases.

For instance, the use of anti-inflammatory medications and steroids involves suppressing inflammation by inhibiting immune cells. Some treatments help maintain the body’s ability to fight disease, replace the substance the body lacks, or help with movement when joints, bones, and muscles are affected.

Peptide Therapy for Autoimmune Skin Disorders

Treating autoimmune disease with peptide therapy is a relatively new treatment method that aligns perfectly with a functional medicine approach. Unlike conventional treatments, peptides address autoimmune diseases at a cellular level.

One of the most common peptides for treating autoimmune skin disorders is BPC-157:

• BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a naturally occurring peptide found in the gastrointestinal tract.
• BPC 157 is used for the gastrointestinal tract to improve digestive function, prevent gastric ulcers, protect and heal inflamed intestinal epithelium (leaky gut), eosinophilic esophagitis, help inflammatory bowel disease and protect the liver from toxic insults.
• BPC 157 also targets conditions such as autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, allergies, and inflammatory bowel diseases.

 

The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown. Peptide therapy aims to address autoimmune diseases at a cellular level. If you experience symptoms of autoimmune skin disorders, consult your doctor immediately.
