Is there a “barroom brawl” in your joints and muscles? Video

Students of autoimmune disease think an IC overload might be THE cause of autoimmune disease. For some reason the body becomes overwhelmed with ICs — antigens and antibodies locked in mortal combat — and the “waste management” system fails. Instead of being excreted, the ICs accumulate in the tissues of the kidneys, lung, joints, blood vessels or any number of other places.

Here’s the key: ICs are foreign matter as far as the immune system is concerned. The body starts attacking them. As in the barroom, more bouncers join the fight. And if millions of ICs are lodged in your own tissues, your immune system starts attacking those tissues. You can get nephritis — inflamed kidneys — if an excess of ICs gets lodged in the kidneys. You can suffer arthritis if the IC mob settles down in your joints.

Your body is super-serious about killing ICs and getting rid of them. A mass of ICs can trigger one of the most deadly immune system attacks known to science: the complement system, a series of nine powerful protein-eating enzymes. Dr. Anthony J. Cichoke, an enzyme expert I’ve noted above, calls it “the death squad.”

The last enzyme in this complement system is the one that actually breaks up ICs and destroys them. According to Cichoke, “The body does all it can to avoid activating that dangerous last killer at the wrong time and in the wrong place, because it could conceivably destroy the entire body.”

Remember, enzymes digest food. Just as some enzymes can devour a steak, the ninth enzyme in the death squad can digest you.
