Healing Metaphors A-Z - Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune disease shows that our body has lost its ability to distinguish between normal and foreign substances. Usually our immune systems produce antibodies to fight off foreign agents; however, with autoimmune disease, our body mistakes itself as the foreign substance and attacks itself. Any autoimmune disease reflects judgment, self-rejection and self-attack. This illness demonstrates a major conflict within, which may also include a conflict with another interpersonally. This illness represents a place of heartbreak and defeat in our life that may be past or present.
