DeaR friends
I am copying this article from wikipedia which tells details about Auto immune disease..Motive is only to spread awareness..as this is a new & rare kind of diseases Which is spreading now..Big problem is there is no enemy of yours ..no bacteria,no virus, no fungi..means no external enemy..but your on body starts attacking your tissues & organs...overall whole body is healthy & fit & fine..& one unfortunate day suddenly you comes to know that you have got some auto immune disease & doctors dont know why body is attacking like this..In all developed countries, where stress & lifestyle problems are huge, people know about it..but here in india,those problem are more common in people whom have more stress & lifestyle problems like lack of sleep,competitions,anxiety etc..so It needs to spread awareness about them..
Autoimmune disease
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An autoimmune disease is a pathological state arising from an abnormal immune response of the body to substances and tissues that are normally present in the body.
Autoimmunity, on the other hand, is the presence of self-reactive immune response (e.g., auto-antibodies, self-reactive T-cells), with or without damage or pathology resulting from it.[1] This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).
The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression—medication that decreases the immune response. New novel treatments include Cytokine blockade (or the blockade of cytokine signaling pathways), removal of effector T-cells and B-cells (e.g. anti-CD20 therapy can be effective at removing instigating B-cells).[1] Intravenous Immunoglobulin has been helpful in treating some antibody mediated autoimmune diseases as well, possibly through negative feedback mechanisms.[2]
A large number of autoimmune diseases are recognized. A major understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases has been the application of genome wide association scans that have identified a striking degree of genetic sharing among the autoimmune diseases.[3]
Definition[edit]
For a disease to be regarded as an autoimmune disease it needs to answer to Witebsky's postulates (first formulated by Ernest Perez and colleagues in 1957 and modified in 1994):[4][5]
Direct evidence from transfer of disease-causing antibody or disease-causing T lymphocyte white blood cells
Indirect evidence based on reproduction of the autoimmune disease in experimental animals
Circumstantial evidence from clinical clues
Genetic evidence suggesting "clustering" with other autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases are incurable
Effects[edit]
Autoimmune diseases have a wide variety of different effects. They do tend to have one of three characteristic pathological effects which characterize them as autoimmune diseases:[6]
Damage to or destruction of tissues
Altered organ growth
Altered organ function
It has been estimated that autoimmune diseases are among the leading causes of death among women in the United States in all age groups up to 65 years.[7]
A substantial minority of the population suffers from these diseases, which are often chronic, debilitating, and life-threatening.[citation needed]
There are more than 80 illnesses caused by autoimmunity.[8] Autoimmune diseases affect approximately 2-5% of the western world's population. Women are found to be more commonly affected than men. Environmental events can trigger some cases of autoimmune diseases such as exposure to radiation or certain drugs which can damage tissues of the body. Infection can also be a trigger of some autoimmune diseases for example Lupus which is thought to be a milder version of an idiopathic disorder where there is an increased production of antihistone antibodies.[7]
Pathophysiology[edit]
The human immune system typically produces both T-cells and B-cells that are capable of being reactive with self-antigens, but these self-reactive cells are usually either killed prior to becoming active within the immune system, placed into a state of anergy (silently removed from their role within the immune system due to over-activation), or removed from their role within the immune system by regulatory cells. When any one of these mechanisms fail, it is possible to have a reservoir of self-reactive cells that become functional within the immune system. The mechanisms of preventing self-reactive T-cells from being created takes place through Negative selection process within the thymus as the T-cell is developing into a mature immune cell.
Some infections, such as Campylobacter jejuni, have antigens that are similar (but not identical) to our own self-molecules. In this case, a normal immune response to C. jejuni can result in the production of antibodies that also react to a lesser degree with receptors on skeletal muscle (i.e., Myasthenia gravis).
There are many theories as to how an autoimmune disease state arises. Some common ones are listed below.
Cryptic determinants/molecular sequestration[edit]
Although it is possible for a potential auto antigen to be geographically sequestered in an immune privileged site within the body (e.g. the eye), mechanisms exist to express even these antigens in a tolerogenic fashion to the immune system. However, it is impossible to induce tolerance (immune unresponsiveness) to all aspects of an autoantigen. This is because under normal physiologic conditions some regions of a self-antigen are not expressed at a sufficient level to induce tolerance. These poorly displayed areas of an antigen are called "cryptic determinants." The immune system maintains a high-affinity repertoire to the cryptic self because the presentation of these determinants was insufficient to induce strong tolerance.[9]
Molecular mimicry[edit]
The concept of molecular mimicry describes a situation in which a foreign antigen can initiate an immune response in which a T or B cell component cross-recognizes self. The cross reactive immune response is responsible for the autoimmune disease state.[10] Cross-reactive immune responses to self were first described for antibodies.
Altered glycan theory[edit]
According to this theory the effector function of the immune response is mediated by the glycans (polysaccharides) displayed by the cells and humoral components of the immune system. Individuals with autoimmunity have alterations in their glycosylation profile such that a proinflammatory immune response is favored. It is further hypothesized that individual autoimmune diseases will have unique glycan signatures.[11]

Development of therapies[edit]
In both autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, the condition arises through aberrant reactions of the human adaptive or innate immune systems. In autoimmunity, the patient's immune system is activated against the body's own proteins. In chronic inflammatory diseases, neutrophils and other leukocytes are constitutively recruited by cytokines and chemokines, leading to tissue damage.
Mitigation of inflammation by activation of anti-inflammatory genes and the suppression of inflammatory genes in immune cells is a prcells is a promising therapeutic approach.[110][111][112]

I am copying this article from wikipedia which tells details about Auto immune disease..Motive is only to spread awareness..as this is a new & rare kind of diseases Which is spreading now..Big problem is there is no enemy of yours ..no bacteria,no virus, no fungi..means no external enemy..but your on body starts attacking your tissues & organs...overall whole body is healthy & fit & fine..& one unfortunate day suddenly you comes to know that you have got some auto immune disease & doctors dont know why body is attacking like this..In all developed countries, where stress & lifestyle problems are huge, people know about it..but here in india,those problem are more common in people whom have more stress & lifestyle problems like lack of sleep,competitions,anxiety etc..so It needs to spread awareness about them..
Autoimmune disease
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An autoimmune disease is a pathological state arising from an abnormal immune response of the body to substances and tissues that are normally present in the body.
Autoimmunity, on the other hand, is the presence of self-reactive immune response (e.g., auto-antibodies, self-reactive T-cells), with or without damage or pathology resulting from it.[1] This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).
The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression—medication that decreases the immune response. New novel treatments include Cytokine blockade (or the blockade of cytokine signaling pathways), removal of effector T-cells and B-cells (e.g. anti-CD20 therapy can be effective at removing instigating B-cells).[1] Intravenous Immunoglobulin has been helpful in treating some antibody mediated autoimmune diseases as well, possibly through negative feedback mechanisms.[2]
A large number of autoimmune diseases are recognized. A major understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases has been the application of genome wide association scans that have identified a striking degree of genetic sharing among the autoimmune diseases.[3]
Definition[edit]
For a disease to be regarded as an autoimmune disease it needs to answer to Witebsky's postulates (first formulated by Ernest Perez and colleagues in 1957 and modified in 1994):[4][5]
Direct evidence from transfer of disease-causing antibody or disease-causing T lymphocyte white blood cells
Indirect evidence based on reproduction of the autoimmune disease in experimental animals
Circumstantial evidence from clinical clues
Genetic evidence suggesting "clustering" with other autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases are incurable
Effects[edit]
Autoimmune diseases have a wide variety of different effects. They do tend to have one of three characteristic pathological effects which characterize them as autoimmune diseases:[6]
Damage to or destruction of tissues
Altered organ growth
Altered organ function
It has been estimated that autoimmune diseases are among the leading causes of death among women in the United States in all age groups up to 65 years.[7]
A substantial minority of the population suffers from these diseases, which are often chronic, debilitating, and life-threatening.[citation needed]
There are more than 80 illnesses caused by autoimmunity.[8] Autoimmune diseases affect approximately 2-5% of the western world's population. Women are found to be more commonly affected than men. Environmental events can trigger some cases of autoimmune diseases such as exposure to radiation or certain drugs which can damage tissues of the body. Infection can also be a trigger of some autoimmune diseases for example Lupus which is thought to be a milder version of an idiopathic disorder where there is an increased production of antihistone antibodies.[7]
Pathophysiology[edit]
The human immune system typically produces both T-cells and B-cells that are capable of being reactive with self-antigens, but these self-reactive cells are usually either killed prior to becoming active within the immune system, placed into a state of anergy (silently removed from their role within the immune system due to over-activation), or removed from their role within the immune system by regulatory cells. When any one of these mechanisms fail, it is possible to have a reservoir of self-reactive cells that become functional within the immune system. The mechanisms of preventing self-reactive T-cells from being created takes place through Negative selection process within the thymus as the T-cell is developing into a mature immune cell.
Some infections, such as Campylobacter jejuni, have antigens that are similar (but not identical) to our own self-molecules. In this case, a normal immune response to C. jejuni can result in the production of antibodies that also react to a lesser degree with receptors on skeletal muscle (i.e., Myasthenia gravis).
There are many theories as to how an autoimmune disease state arises. Some common ones are listed below.
Cryptic determinants/molecular sequestration[edit]
Although it is possible for a potential auto antigen to be geographically sequestered in an immune privileged site within the body (e.g. the eye), mechanisms exist to express even these antigens in a tolerogenic fashion to the immune system. However, it is impossible to induce tolerance (immune unresponsiveness) to all aspects of an autoantigen. This is because under normal physiologic conditions some regions of a self-antigen are not expressed at a sufficient level to induce tolerance. These poorly displayed areas of an antigen are called "cryptic determinants." The immune system maintains a high-affinity repertoire to the cryptic self because the presentation of these determinants was insufficient to induce strong tolerance.[9]
Molecular mimicry[edit]
The concept of molecular mimicry describes a situation in which a foreign antigen can initiate an immune response in which a T or B cell component cross-recognizes self. The cross reactive immune response is responsible for the autoimmune disease state.[10] Cross-reactive immune responses to self were first described for antibodies.
Altered glycan theory[edit]
According to this theory the effector function of the immune response is mediated by the glycans (polysaccharides) displayed by the cells and humoral components of the immune system. Individuals with autoimmunity have alterations in their glycosylation profile such that a proinflammatory immune response is favored. It is further hypothesized that individual autoimmune diseases will have unique glycan signatures.[11]

Development of therapies[edit]
In both autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, the condition arises through aberrant reactions of the human adaptive or innate immune systems. In autoimmunity, the patient's immune system is activated against the body's own proteins. In chronic inflammatory diseases, neutrophils and other leukocytes are constitutively recruited by cytokines and chemokines, leading to tissue damage.
Mitigation of inflammation by activation of anti-inflammatory genes and the suppression of inflammatory genes in immune cells is a prcells is a promising therapeutic approach.[110][111][112]

I will post what i think, i m not a doctor.
i do not know if it will work for you - its possible you may have different triggers / causes. Even for me, i am only guessing that it was the reason for improvement. But still its worth a try along with yoga if you prefer it. gm diet + exercise is pretty good, i lost 10 kilo in a year ( but now getting much harder to loose 10 more).
First thing go to a good doctor/hospital and get proper diagnosis/confirmation for asthma. Please leave homepathy/avurveda for later. 10-15 years ago, i was not diagnosed properly for this (allopathy ones too). But this time, i had nearby hospital available ( 7 hills).
Inhalers work wonderfully and help control symptoms immediately. Then long term you can try all of above and try to reduce inhaler frequency and hope for the best. But worst case, you will need to take inhalers during your trigger season.

yes. I do not remember his name 100% ( Amit P maybe ?) and have not gone to them for few years now since my symptoms reduced so much. But i think other doctors should be similar. I did not go there for a specific doctor, they had triaged me to him.
Also note, recently, i have heard rumours of them doing unnecessary tests to increase bills etc. i do not know if its fact. My own experience few years back had been good. I went to them as its nearby and thankfully it went fine.
