In this article, I would like to discuss more information about autoimmune diseases and fucoidan effects.

Autoimmune diseases are a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body. As you know, the immune system protects your body from bacteria and viruses. Generally, the immune system can recognize the difference between foreign cells and your cells.

So the risk factors of the immune system attack the body are 1) The western diet, which causes to develop an autoimmune disease. For example, consuming high-fat, high-sugar, and high processed food is linked to inflammation, which might set off an immune response. 2) It may focus on a theory called the hygiene hypothec. In the past, people, especially children, were easily infected with germs or bacteria-related diseases. However, currently, children are not exposed to as many germs and diseases because of vaccines and antiseptics available in most countries. According to Healthline, the lack of exposure could make their immune system prone to overreact to harmless substances.

There are many types of autoimmune diseases. The most notable diseases are Type 1 diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus Erythematous, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Graves’ Disease, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, And Graves’ Disease.

Among the above-mentioned diseases, I will focus on Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis and fucoidan effects. I may have a chance to explain the rest of the autoimmune diseases later.

First, I will discuss inflammatory bowel disease and the fucoidan effect. In Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome, the intestines become highly inflamed and cause chronic pain, diarrhea, or even constipation. It could also increase the risk of colorectal cancer. The cause of Inflammatory Bowel Disease or IBS (Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome) is unknown, but recent studies show some combination of genetic or environmental factors that may cause the development of Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome.

One study shows that fucoidan can reduce disease activity and markers of inflammation in an animal model of Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease, according to Matsumoto S. et al.

Secondly, talk about Multiple Sclerosis and fucoidan effect. Multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves in your eyes. It can cause problems with vision, balance, muscle control, and basic body function. The cause of MS could be genes, smoking, and viral infection (Epstein-Barr virus, the human herpesvirus 6).

Animal studies by Heechui Kim et al. demonstrated that fucoidan could completely inhibit the development of experimentally induced Multiple Sclerosis, even when the animal received the fucoidan three days after induction of the condition. Importantly, the animal also experienced a decrease in the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the spinal cord.
