A member asked:
Could diets such as paleo, dr. fuhrmans, antihistamine diet etc. reverse autoimmune diseases like sjogrens and lupus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Modification of the immune system doesn't occur with anything like a normal diet. Perhaps with life-threatening starvation the immune system would be made dysfunctional (not recommended). And then, suppression is not at all like reversing.
