Behcet s disease
Achieving permanent healing in treatment is only possible by eliminating the source of the diseases. RTM evaluates diseases in terms of “source-cause-effect” relationship and aims to achieve permanent healing in the treatment process by planning to eliminate the “source”.
His name, the Turkish scientist who defined the disease, Prof. Dr. Behçet's disease, named after Hulusi Behçet, is a systemic and chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that can affect various parts of the body. The disease, the cause of which has not been determined exactly, progresses in fluctuating attacks and reduces the quality of life of the person with whom it is seen. With appropriate treatment, the symptoms can be terminated by diluting the attacks of the person.
The approach to Behçet's disease in the RTM system is quite different from the modern and other medical schools. The goal in the RTM system is not to directly suppress the symptoms of Behçet's disease and to eliminate the symptoms. It is to reveal the causes of this individual-specific disease and to identify the source of the disease and to treat it. In the treatment, it is aimed to restore the infrastructure that causes the disease and to ensure the normal functioning of the systems.
Let's take a brief look at Behçet's disease...
What is Behcet's Disease?
Behçet's disease, also known as Behçet's syndrome, is a disease that develops due to a disorder in the immune system. This rare chronic disease causes inflammation of blood vessels in different parts of the body.
Prof. dr. Hulusi Behcet
Professor of dermatology, who lived between 1889 and 1948. Dr. Hulusi Behçet was the first scientist to describe Behçet's disease, which is now named after him, in 1937, that is, vasculitis, which is an inflammation of blood vessels.
What Causes Behçet's Disease?
Although the exact source of Behçet's disease is not known, medical experts think that it is caused by a malfunction in the body's immune system. In addition, it is thought that genetic and environmental factors play a common role in the emergence of the disease, since it is generally common in Asia and the Middle East.
What are the Symptoms of Behçet's Disease?
The symptoms of Behçet's disease may vary from person to person and may intensify or subside over time. In the early stages, many symptoms that do not seem to be related to each other can be observed. The symptoms of Behçet's disease vary depending on which part of the body is affected by the disease. Symptoms include skin rashes and lesions, mouth and genital sores, and eye inflammation. The progressive complications of the disease develop depending on the emerging symptoms.
The mouth is one of the areas most affected by Behçet's disease. The most common symptom is raised, small, painful sores that look like canker sores in and around the mouth, which soon become painful ulcers. These sores take one to three weeks to heal but will recur frequently.
People with Behçet's disease sometimes develop acne-like sores on their bodies. Others develop abnormal tissue growths, most commonly on the lower legs. Fluffy and extremely sensitive nodules form on the surface of the skin. On the genitals of men and women, open sores that are red, painful and leave scars may occur.
Another symptom is eye inflammation. The eye consists of three layers and the inflammation that develops in the middle layer of the uvea is called uveitis. It causes pain, redness, and blurred vision in both eyes. This condition may be exacerbated or subsided from time to time during the disease process. Uveitis should be treated in a timely manner so that it does not cause serious vision problems.
Joint swelling and pain in Behçet's disease mostly affect the knees, although sometimes the wrists, ankles, or elbows may also be affected. Symptoms may persist for one to three weeks and resolve spontaneously.
Behçet's disease can cause various symptoms related to the digestive system such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and bleeding.
Inflammation from a blood clot in the veins can cause redness, swelling, and pain in the arms or legs. If inflammation occurs in large arteries and veins, it may cause complications such as aneurysm, vascular occlusion or narrowing.
If inflammation occurs in the brain and nervous system due to Behçet's disease, it can cause fever, headache, dizziness, loss of balance or paralysis.
Who Gets Behçet's Disease?
Behçet's disease, which is very rare in childhood and over the age of 50, usually appears between the ages of 20-40. It occurs with equal frequency in men and women, but the symptoms of the disease develop more severely in men.
How is Behçet's Disease Diagnosed?
Unfortunately, there is no laboratory test specific to the disease that makes the definitive diagnosis of Behçet's disease possible. In order to make the diagnosis, the clinical findings of the person are evaluated by the specialist doctor.
Approach to Behçet's Disease in RTM System and Cause of Behçet's Disease in RTM System
Our body is in a constant balance against internal and external factors. With this balance, life continues by developing. The RTM System includes its own diagnostic and treatment protocols. Diseases in the RTM System; It is seen as a new balance or new adjustment points created in the body in order to continue life against internal and external negative conditions.
There is a source pattern called the Disease Triad, which causes new settings to come into play in the body. This triple structure, which includes contamination in the body, system disorders and code changes in DNA (Epigenetics), functions as follows in Behçet's disease;
POLLUTION;
We call the accumulation of toxins in the body contamination. These toxins can sometimes be in the form of what we are exposed to, sometimes free radicals that are constantly produced in the mitochondria, and sometimes in the form of general wastes that arise as a result of the body's metabolic activities.
Sometimes the inadequacy of the detox, that is, the cleansing systems, and sometimes the defects in familial gene transmission can be effective in the pollution processes of the body.
Liver, Skin, Kidney and Lung have been assigned to organize our body's detox activities. Thanks to the detox organs, the accumulated wastes are removed from our body. Defects or insufficiency in the detox organs (insufficiency due to excessive toxin exposure) caused by various reasons will cause toxin accumulation in the tissues backwards. Toxins will begin to accumulate first in the blood and then in the related tissue.
The body is informed by the disruption in detox processes. As a result of this information, the relevant structures are activated. At first, the defense system takes over the detox process temporarily and reflexively increases the defense cells. If the toxic process continues, then the matrix will switch to permanent information changes in DNA and the defense cells will be increased permanently.
In other words, we now have defense and defense cells that act according to the toxic level. At first this seems fine. Because the troublesome situation caused by the toxicity has been resolved, albeit temporarily. However, in order to ensure this situation, more defense cells are active than necessary, and accordingly, there is a constant state of alarm.
This process, which can be tolerated at first, opens the door to new patterns later on. Cells, which are quite large in number, do not stay idle over time and constantly determine new business processes for themselves. Over time, defense cells begin to shift the processes of reducing the toxic load in the blood to tissues with toxic accumulations.
This action is the first signals of a new pattern process. Because the tissues with the accumulations begin to become the target of the defense cells over time. The defense response, which is general at first, becomes tissue-specific over time. Because the tissues related to new information were also perceived as harmful.
SYSTEMS BREAKTHROUGH;
Sometimes, our defense system may become irregular and inadequate due to recurrent infections or intensive antibiotic use or familial infrastructures. In the face of this situation, the body reveals new settings for defense. Although inadequacy is perceived as scarcity, the body exhibits the opposite transition with new adjustments. With this transition, it protects itself against future actions.
Even though it is not needed, it activates the backup defense cells as if it is needed and increases the defense level to one when it should be. When attacked, these cells take action and coordinate the defense. But even if the danger situation is over, these cells always remain in the attack state. However, it has no specific task and no cell to attack. That is, these cells are both active and non-functional and empty.
So what do these redundant circulating defenseless cells do?
Disruptions in other systems appear as a chronic disease if the defense system is intact. However, if there are disorders in the other system in addition to the deterioration in the defense system, the defense cells can take on the task of correcting these disorders and try to correct them.
Due to the genetic background, some individuals may be prone to be confused or more aggressive by the defense system.
INFORMATION CHANGE IN DNA;
Causes such as contamination in the body or disorders in the systems we have mentioned above cause information changes in DNA, and as a result of this information change, defense cells increase. These increased defense cells will fight the toxins or metabolic wastes accumulated in the tissues and will become specific to that region.
Treatment of Behçet's Disease in the RTM System
The aim of the RTM System is not to directly suppress the symptoms of Behçet's disease, but to eliminate the Disease Trait that is the source of Behçet's disease, which we mentioned above. In the RTM System this is called the Treatment Triad.
Treatment Triad; It includes the processes of initiating the detox process to return to the normal state of balance in the body, eliminating the imbalance in the failing systems and reversing the epigenetic changes in DNA. This process is planned completely individually.
The main backbone of the treatment triad is RTM Phytotherapeutics. The phytotherapy protocol is determined by evaluating the detailed anamnesis, laboratory and imaging findings of the individual, and measurements specific to RTM clinics.
With the RTM Phytotherapy protocol, the disease trait forming the source part is withdrawn and treated. By informing the body with the seed parts of the plants, it is aimed to normalize the epigenetic changes in DNA that determine the new adjustment constants. In order for the body to adapt to the normalization process of this information, the treatment triad is activated by using the leafy parts of the plants, accelerating the detox activities in the body and regulating the systems. When you withdraw the disease triad, the body will automatically return to the norm form.
In order to both support the body and accelerate the treatment process, in addition to RTM phytotherapeutics, nearly 25 traditional medicine methods such as Ozone, Hijama, Acupuncture, Magnetic field therapy are planned according to the needs of the patient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Behcet's Disease Genetic?
The mode of inheritance of the disease is not clearly determined. However, genetic predispositions are suspected, especially in patients at an early age. Behçet's disease has been associated with a hereditary predisposition (HLA-B5), especially in cases in the Mediterranean basin and the Far East.
Is Behcet's Disease Contagious?
It is known that Behçet's disease is not contagious. Due to the appearance of the wounds on the skin, genital area and mouth, it is misconceived that the disease is contagious, whereas there is no person-to-person transmission.
Is Behçet's Disease Transmitted Sexually?
Although symptoms such as aphthae and discharge in the genital area cause the illusion that it is contagious, it is known that Behçet's disease is not sexually transmitted.
Is Behcet's Disease Deadly?
Complications in the veins and pulmonary involvement due to Behçet's disease are likely to cause death if not treated in a timely manner. Therefore, the treatment of patients with vascular involvement, especially young male patients, should be carried out meticulously and regular follow-up should be done.
What should Behçet's patients avoid?
It is very important for people with Behçet's disease to keep their immune systems strong. Factors that will weaken the immune system such as intense stress, other diseases, extreme fatigue, unhealthy diet should be avoided. Tobacco and tobacco products should be avoided as it is known that tobacco has negative effects on the veins and increases system involvement in Behçet's patients.
What is Neuro Behçet's Disease?
Behçet's Disease can occur with different symptoms in different parts of the body. The condition in which the disease is experienced with neurological symptoms is called Neuro Behçet's Disease (NPH).
Can Behçet's patients get pregnant?
Behçet's disease is not an obstacle to getting pregnant. Although it varies from person to person, the symptoms of the disease are usually alleviated during pregnancy. However, women with Behçet's disease should undergo special monitoring during their pregnancy.
Is Behçet a chronic disease?
Behçet's disease is a chronic disease that can recur throughout life, although fluctuations in symptoms are observed.
What is Behçet's rheumatism?
Behçet's disease is an inflammatory rheumatic disease that progresses with aphthae and wounds in various parts of the body, eye, joint, vessel and nerve involvement.
Is Behçet's disease cancer?
Behçet's disease is not cancer and there is no risk of it turning into cancer. Depending on the function of the affected area, the quality of life may decrease during the active periods of the disease, but the function of the organ can return to normal with appropriate treatment.
Does Behçet's disease strike the eye?
Behçet's disease can often strike the eye, and if left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. According to studies, it can cause inflammation in the eyes in 50 to 70 percent of cases.
Does Behçet's Disease cause fever?
Since Behçet's disease is a systemic disease that can affect many organs, it can also cause symptoms of weakness and fever.
Does Behçet's disease affect sexual life?
Although it has symptoms that reduce the quality of life in general, it can sometimes negatively affect sexual life because it can cause wounds in and around the genitals.
At what age does Behçet's disease begin?
Behçet's disease is rare in children, even in high-risk populations. The rate of diagnosis under the age of 16 is approximately 3%. It was observed that it mostly started in the age range of 20-35 years.
Where does Behçet's disease hit?
Although primarily recurrent mouth and genital sores and eye symptoms are encountered, Behçet's disease can also be effective in the veins, joints, digestive system, kidney, lung and nervous system.
Does Behçet's Disease Recur?
Behçet's disease is a recurrent and chronic disease. The frequency of recurrence of attacks varies from person to person. During the process, there are periods when the symptoms decrease and disappear.
Does Behçet's disease affect the heart?
Behçet's disease, although rare, can affect the heart. However, it does not cause conditions such as heart membrane inflammation, valve thickening, or heart failure, as in other inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Only and rarely can clot formation occur inside the heart.
Does Behçet's disease affect the brain?
It has been reported that the brain and neurological system may be affected in approximately 10% of Behçet's disease cases. This picture, called Neuro Behçet's, is an important clinical condition and should be treated meticulously.
