This lecture will focus on the understanding and treatment of autoimmune diseases the Shang Han Za Bing Lun within the Tian Lineage system. We will begin with a brief review of the basics of 6 conformation theory and the febrile response and its importance in autoimmune disease.

During this lecture we will examine the classical understanding of the immune response, and how this can be used to understand acute flares of autoimmune diseases and their progression to chronic pathologies. We will explore the key principles of managing acute flares, the long-term treatment of the underlying chronic state, and the important transition between the two when moving out of a flare and back into the long-term treatment

We will then discuss common treatments and progressions in a number of the most commonly seen autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, crohns disease and ulcerative colitis, autoimmune thyroid issues, multiple sclerosis, among others.

The aim of this lecture is not to merely give protocols for certain diseases, but to help the practitioner understand the principles of treating autoimmune diseases so they are better able to analyze, understand and treat the multitude of presentations that will come their way in clinic.
