All autoimmune diseases are symptomatic of having an immune system that’s in tip top operating shape and is going after you!

I do not believe gout has anything to do with autoimmune. www.wrongdiagnosis.com, etc. It’s a build-up of uric acid in places it shouldn’t be.

Autoimmune is not “weak” immunity, but hypersensitive (if you will) immune system. Your own immune system attacks your own body thinking something is foreign when there is no such thing.
