Root cause?: Significant inflammation some would call "autoimmune". Look for root cause of inflammation which is very frequently a consequence of presence of environmental toxins like mold, virus, infection, toxic chemicals, toxic metals triggering immune reaction that is resulting in cellular injury. Environmental medicine deals with these root causes.
