What is the Functional Medicine Approach to Calming Down the Immune System?

What is your recommendation for a functional medicine approach to pain and autoimmune reactions?   LDN, other supplements, herbs, there are lots.  First off, remember if you're going after autoimmune reactions,  that is the immune system going to be wild.  You want to calm down the immune system. There are several things you can do.  Number one:  all the functional reasons, all the functional stuff, meaning fix the cells, fix the gut, and so forth.  Look for the root causes.  There's something called PEA, which is Palmitoylethanolamide.  It works very, very well as an anti-inflammatory,   LDN works very well. There are people out there that don't do well with LDN.  Don't do well with something else.  There are options.  You want to bring down the immune overreaction using something else.
