Our immune system was fine tuned for over a million years, as our paleo ancestors evolved. During that time period, our ancestor's immune system was exposed to most types of threat to which it is exposed today, and more, and it evolved with the capability to protect human life without the benefit of any medical intervention. Consequently, there's no logical reason why it should malfunction now, as long as it's properly nourished.

​And the detection of certain food sensitivities by the immune system proves that the immune system is working correctly. The origin of food sensitivities can be traced back to the domestication and development of wheat. Our digestive system did not evolve digesting wheat, but when the Neolithic period came along, and agriculture was adopted, and developed, wheat suddenly (sudden, when compared to the million plus years during which our digestive system had previously evolved) became a major part of our diet, and wheat (gluten) sensitivity was born.

Because the practice of medicine is based on the concept that every disease is diagnosed and treated as if it were independent of all other diseases, medical researchers rarely consider the interdependence of various diseases. Consequently, they tend to overlook common connections that might be primarily responsible for the development of an entire class of diseases, such as autoimmune (AI) diseases, for example.

Based on published medical research, it's common knowledge that chronic inflammation is the common thread associated with all autoimmune diseases, suggesting that chronic inflammation might be implicated in the development of all autoimmune diseases (Storrs, 2022, September 16; Bennett, Reeves, Billman, and Sturmberg, 2018).[1,2] And the primary sources of chronic inflammation typically tend to be food sensitivities, infections, certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as deficiencies of vitamin D and magnesium, and stress, whether individually, or in combination.
