Pregnant and Not Healing

[Guest guest]

Hi , the immune system goes way down when you are pregnant so it doesn't attack

the baby (brought down by steroids). Maybe right now, do an lupus ana test

(antinuclear antibody screen )and a sed rate test (measure of inflammation in

the blood) to see if your immune system is confused and attacking you instead of

doing its job and a blood sugar test. Gestational diabetes might make it harder

to heal. After the baby is born, there will be toxins that you need to get rid

of (detoxing, raw foods, fresh juices, etc.). Some women get lupus symptoms

after pregnancy because the toxins can't leave their body because they are still

eating the standard american diet which retains toxins. So the immune system is

trying to get rid of the toxins but damaging the woman's cells in the process.

I would just stick with the good food that you are eating, a little garlic, lots

of fruits and veggies, low salt (try

sea salt), and NO refined sugar which paralyzes the immune system.

 

Congratulations and good luck!

Please explain the " sed rate test " . Is this similar to the (hs) CRP for

measuring inflammation ?
