My little shitty theory for all those lupuses, celiacs and what not (auto-immunue system fuckups) is simple - it's just neural black box trained throughout evolution to keep the meat that we call "myself" together and avoiding disintegration in general. It works fine as long as it gets flow of input that it knows (was trained on) - from womb (that's pretty stable because there are berries that weird, new stuff doesn't pass through and you're getting broken down, simple form nutritions), then birth is probably more important event, oxytocin during labour triggers stuff that kicks off couple of things in your (baby) body (that's the first things we're messing with - scheduled cesarians (80% in brazil!) means this step is skipped together with vagina's bacterial flora that you're not covered with etc), then our immune system expects sucking on mother tits to get lots of feedback (when to sleep, first foreign bacterias travel from our mouth to moms nipples, mother's immune system responds with antibodies that we suck back and learn how to deal with - that's another thing that we're loosing a bit, after fashionable epidural shot to make birth less painful babies don't want to drink milk, mothers don't produce enough - we're on bottle/formula - step skipped). After that for couple of years our immune system was trained to live in filth on today standards - from licking everything (little rocks, dirty feet, sucking fingers covered with soil dirt - this is invaluable info for immune system, gets it's thresholds, what's bad and what just goes out 100% with shit and what not) - we're loosing this as well by living in hermetic, antibacterial wiped flats - immune system gets confused, there supposed to be things to fight against but it's all sterile, then first weird thing comes in, the immune system is like "oh shit, those are relatively huge foreign invaders, red alert!" and we get first allergies; immune system has memory of how to fight stuff, so it'll remember to have this allergic reaction next time as well; things that it could learn before from mother's immune system via breast/licking dirt around. Then we've got another change which is food that our parents (recursive) never ate (from aspartame to prozac), we're chronically feeding ourselves with mono diets (sugars via juices and others) that overload our organs (pancreas, type 2 diabetes; or gluten messing up gut walls) - those things are not bad in moderation when mixed with dozen of other things but if you feed your body with just that all the time for years, it gets fucked up... so, when in doubt, think "what my ancestors were doing". this applies to mental health and other things in life, just like taking naps at work are being rediscovered, funnily enough it's just what babies do at creche; too stressed or burnout? go to fucking nature and do nothing for few days. too tired? maybe move your ass a bit instead of sitting for 10 hours etc.
