Autoimmune Disease

The seeding of these bacteria cab also result in the initiation of auto- immune diseases in some people. Such diseases are characterized by the immune system attacking the native tissues of the body. Just as the poorly broken-down food particles can provoke an immune respone, the bacteria
themselves, along with their metabolic by product, can also provoke the immune system into attacking normal body tissues. This happens when immune system reacts against the body's own tissues that have been altered enaugh by the presence of bacteria for the immune system to no longer recognize that tissue as being part of the body. The result is an autoimmune disease.
