Key Points: 
  • ST. LOUIS, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new research case series published in Frontiers in Nutrition presents food as medicine as a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases, describing three patients with chronic autoimmune disease who showed remarkable improvement after following a predominantly raw dietary pattern high in cruciferous vegetables and omega 3 fatty acids.
  • All three women reported that nearly all their symptoms of both diseases resolved after just four weeks of making the dietary changes.
  • "My hope is that these cases generate greater recognition, making patients and clinicians aware of food as medicine as a treatment option for systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome.
  • This case series also reflects the immediate need for more research into dietary changes as a potential treatment strategy for autoimmune disease."
