Why are allergies not classified as Auto Immune diseases?


I have allergies I want to know .
Thanks
----------

An auto-immune disease involves antibodies against "self tissues" - the immune system attacks the body.

An allergy involves antibodies against foreign molecules (e.g. pollen, milk, wheat, etc.) - the immune system attacks foreign substances.

Best wishes.  (+ info)

How do we become immune to diseases?


We become immune to disease by actually being exposed to the disease because your bodies have anti-bodies that is shaped similar to the disease and they act them when they first encounter them. For example in order to be immune from chicken pox you have to have them first. Then your body is will get used to that disease and then you can't get it any more.  (+ info)

Why is it so difficult for physicians to find a cure for immune diseases like Lupus?


It's not that it's difficult to cure immune diseases, it's that it's hard to cure immune diseases without completely destroying a person's immunity from every other bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite out there. Current treatment is basically immunosuppressant therapy.
The way the immune system works -- at least in part -- involves these things called antibodies. They're basically little markers that identify and tag bad cells. Then their buddies from other parts of the immune system come by and gobble up or destroy any tagged cells. The problem with diseases like Lupus, which are properly called autoimmune diseases, is that the body starts making antibodies that identify the body's own cells as dangerous. The rest of the immune system doesn't know any better, and they destroy the body's own cells that were mistakenly marked.
So the problem is, how do we prevent the body from making antibodies against itself? We can't -- if we prevent the immune system from adapting, we won't be able to protect ourselves against new bugs that we haven't encountered yet. We could try removing all the antibodies from the bloodstream, or at least disabling them so they can't function properly anymore, but that would be really hard to do without destroying antibodies that we need. Ideally, we'd be able to engineer some kind of anti-antibody based on a person's genetic immune markers (HLAs or MHCs, which tells the immune system whether a cell is foreign or belongs to you) that would disable the self-antibodies while keeping the rest of the immune system working. That might be a possibility in the future, but at the moment it's very expensive to map out your immune system's definition of "self", let alone custom engineer an antibody to the antibodies that misrecognize these 'self' proteins.  (+ info)
