Hmm. I'd say give it a try if you're curious - will look to see what you refer to from the book. Some will say aloe vera is not something to use internally, but I really don't know.
Autoimmune is pretty general. Obviously you're trying to re-establish your immune system, but what health issues are you experiencing? Do you know what caused this to develop? I think it's usually a series/array/bevy of events, toxins, build up, shut downs. Hormones play a huge role also. So much going on, really. Hardly know where to start, but I see a big and complex picture.
I just heard something on a video regarding sleep and immunity. Do you get to bed by 10PM? (I sure don't!) Apparently this is when your immune system begins to "rebuild" - increasingly right up until just before sunrise, when it begins to send out its army. Makes a ton of sense to me.
