Answer 1

1-) false, generally conventional treatment is used for therapeutically and chemotherapeuatically for example in cancer patients while immusuppresive drugs or therapy is used generally in autoimmune disease .

Whereas, Conventional treatments for autoimmune diseases have focused on globally arresting the cycle of inflammation, using prostaglandin-cyclo-oxygenase pathway inhibitors, or immunosuppressive drugs for a nonspecific reduction in antibody production.

2-)one particular gut bacteria, prevotella copri, has shown to increase the expression of IgG and IgA and IL -10, thus use of probiotics and culturing healthy gut bacteria may be helpful in rheumatoid athritis.

3-) increasing fruits and vegetables (especially red in color), called Lycopene, canthaxanthin,astaxanthin share a similar structure yo carotene ( carotenoids) . were shown, in the framingham study, to reduces 12 inflammatory mediators.

4-) Borage oil is prized for its high gamma linoleic acid (GLA) content. It’s thought that this fatty acid can help reduce inflammation tied to many diseases.
