i’d like to share seven

surprising

underlying causes to autoimmune diseases

now the reason i’m talking about this

topic is because it’s literally an

epidemic out there there’s so many

people that are developing autoimmune

diseases all over the planet and i’m

going to talk about what i think is

going on now the quantity of people

getting autoimmune diseases is ranked

number three after cancer and heart

attacks

yet there’s other reports that show that

it there’s more people with autoimmune

disease than both of those combined in

fact the top-selling drug on the planet

is an anti-inflammatory that deals with

autoimmune diseases so the question is

what the heck is going on what is

causing

our own immune system to turn on us

and attack our own tissues that’s weird

isn’t it

so to answer that question i think it’s

not a good question i think there’s a

better question because if you look up

the underlying cause of autoimmune

diseases it’s going to say unknown

it could be genetics it could be

environmental we just don’t know we need

to do more research but a better

question to ask would be this what

causes an immunodeficiency

or an immunosuppressive

state in your body or your immune system

is suppressed to the degree that

it’s non-functional so this barrier this

wall this defense of your immune system

somehow

is lowered to the point where things can

then happen

and your body can incorrectly tag the

wrong thing

and end up with a bit of a friendly fire

it’s kind of like if let’s say for

example you have to go to court right

and there’s a jury there and maybe

there’s confusion and they incorrectly

label you as guilty and now they tag you

as an enemy and then now you have to

suffer all the consequences that go

along with that well with an autoimmune

disease the same thing happens

your own tissue is incorrectly labeled

and now your immune system attacks that

and then you have all this collateral

damage that occurs from the inflammation

that’s caused by your own immune system

now another interesting question that

also relates to this would be what makes

your microbes that are in a dormant

state like for example epstein-barr

virus it goes into this dormant latent

stage and then one day it comes out and

it ends up attacking us right so the

question is why what’s the difference

between before and now there’s even a

condition where your immune system

becomes suppressed

and friendly bacteria morph into

unfriendly bacteria or microbes that are

neutral they’re kind of

they’re not hurting you or helping you

turn on you that’s called an

opportunistic infection where your

immune system is taking advantage of a

situation and then the problem medically

with these conditions is that they’re

just managed okay they just manage them

with more medication like prednisone and

then the side effects just continue

they don’t really know what to do with

this condition now what you might know

about autoimmune diseases is that

they’re triggered by certain chemicals

in the environment okay maybe toxins

leaky gut okay definitely if you have

any type of digestive issues or even

thyroid issues i mean certain things

like bad eating can create holes in your

gut

that then cause proteins to leak through

your gut so then your immune system

incorrectly tags those as foreign

proteins and then we have this whole

immune reactions now certain drugs can

cause autoimmune diseases cortical

steroids are a well-known thing that can

trigger autoimmune diseases and of

course

chemotherapy but let’s talk about the

underlying causes that you might not be

aware of okay and this is actually quite

interesting

number one excessively clean

environments okay

as a child is exposed to this planet

they’re born with part of their mother’s

immune system it’s called the innate

immune system and then they develop the

acquired immune system as they acquire

it by being exposed to the environment

and interacting with microbes and then

developing their immunity that’s why

it’s important not to have someone be in

such a sterile environment all the time

because there’s no training for the

immune system so it’s normal for kids to

get sick so if a child gets sick and you

quickly stop the fever or give them

medication to suppress it they never

really develop a good immune system and

there’s something called the hygiene

hypothesis and they found that kids that

are in a sterile environment they’re not

around microbes too much they have a

higher risk of getting autoimmune

diseases down the road

especially versus kids that are raised

on the farm or kids that are around pets

or kids that are not in a sterile

environment which is interesting

number two

okay

i’m not going to even mention this i’m

going to just show you the book okay the

textbook which is 120 you can buy it on

amazon and you can very clearly see

this connection which i’m not i can’t

really talk about but there’s a huge

connection between this topic and

autoimmune diseases and you can research

this data yourself but this book which i

have as a textbook goes through some

seriously credible information

on something that’s probably not going

to be in the news all right number three

infant formulas wow

instead of breastfeeding if a child is

put on infant formulas

their tendency to get autoimmune or the

risk for getting autoimmune goes up okay

and i’ll put that research down below

which is actually another

interesting and surprising thing that

people

don’t connect the dots with number four

a problem with the vdr what is vdr

vitamin d receptor

there’s some good research which i will

put down below that talks about

improving autoimmune diseases with

correcting the vitamin d receptor

so vitamin d

is not a vitamin

it is

a very uh powerful

steroid okay in the body

that is intimately connected with your

immune system there’s over 19 000 genes

that they have identified with vitamin d

so every part of your immune system

needs vitamin d in fact vitamin d

regulates your immune system okay and if

you don’t have enough

you’re very susceptible to getting an

autoimmune disease in fact i would

venture to say that every single person

who has an autoimmune disease is low in

vitamin d but you can have a problem

genetically with the vitamin d receptor

the term is called a polymorphism

and if you have that you’re more at risk

of developing autoimmune diseases as

well

and these darn microbes both bacteria

and viruses

have a strategy of blocking the vitamin

d receptor because apparently they have

the intelligence to know that if they

shut that down the entire immune system

is shut down

so you’ll see in the next slide what

we’re going to recommend to improve this

vitamin d receptor which actually even

goes beyond just taking vitamin d very

interesting number five

this is a big one losses

which is a major stress event okay

when i was in practice i would always

ask a person who has an autoimmune

disease when did it start what happened

just before i’m gonna tell you it was a

hundred percent of the people

that told me this occurred after a major

loss in their life a death a divorce

a loss of a job

things that are related to stress in

general can trigger

an autoimmune disease because when you

increase cortisol

which suppresses the immune system okay

it lowers your white blood cells it

leaves you vulnerable and susceptible to

things happening where your immune

system is misidentifying certain things

and this is why one of the major

treatments

for autoimmune diseases

is a synthetic version of that cortisol

called prednisone

but the problem is it comes with a lot

of side effects

number six antibiotics interesting that

relates to number seven loss of the

microbiome right so when you don’t have

all the right

microbes in your gut

either whether you killed them or some

other reason you’re more susceptible why

because 80 of your immune system is your

microbiome okay it’s these microbes

apparently have a very

interesting arrangement with our own

cells in that we help them and they help

us and

part of the agreement is that they

protect us against foreign pathogens and

so we appreciate that

all right let’s get to the next

slide right here what do we do about it

you need to

beef up no pun intended your vitamin d

at least 20 000 i use vitamin d also

take the vitamin k2 with it i have a lot

of videos on that i’ll put the link down

below but vitamin d and i’m talking

about vitamin d3 not vitamin d2 okay

it has to be vitamin d3

can help to

put back in that regulation of your

immune system okay very important

but does that fix the receptor not

necessarily

there are other things that can help

that vitamin d receptor and one is

bile salts okay

which virtually has no side effects and

the one i’m going to recommend is tut

cup okay so take both of these and as

far as the amount of tuck i would

probably recommend taking

one or two in the morning on an empty

stomach and then one or two

in the afternoon an empty stomach at

least four

three weeks and then maybe go down to

one in the morning one in the afternoon

after that as a maintenance dose until

you’re in

good shape

probiotics are key

now here’s the thing if you have an

autoimmune disease

especially that’s related to your gut

okay

and you may have sibo this might not be

an option right away because you might

feel

more bloating with these probiotics

you’re introducing more microbes and you

have microbes maybe in the wrong place

in your small intestine or you have

some imbalance of microbes that can

create an immune reaction so i always

recommend going very slow with these

probiotics i mean like maybe a a fourth

of a teaspoon just if you’re taking a

liquid right before bed or maybe a

fourth of a capsule right just a small

amount because they can turn on an

immune reaction

and this relates to number four reducing

fiber

if the gut is involved okay

so i’m going to put this one right here

if the gut is involved so if the guts

involve we have an imbalance in this

microbiome and you start putting fiber

in there and you put probiotics

and maybe you have a small intestinal

bacterial overgrowth that can just stir

up a lot of bloating so if you don’t

have gut problems then definitely take a

probiotic okay

and maybe not worry about the fiber and

of course the fiber i’m talking about

the fiber from salads things like that

i would definitely not recommend ever

getting your fiber from grains or

legumes or beans and this is why if

someone has an autoimmune problem

that’s related to the gut they will

definitely do better on a carnivore

keto plan than something with a lot of

fiber

all right number five a keto plant which

means you’re doing low carb and you’re

doing

quality ingredients right you don’t want

to put all that sugar in the system or

carbs you want to get in a keto plan

because

ketones in general are anti-inflammatory

okay we’re trying to reduce inflammation

and number six this is the a really

important factor fasting this is how

you’re going to correct your immune

system there’s quite a bit of data on

doing fasting and improving autoimmune

diseases especially if you do regular

intermittent fasting between the longer

fasting whether you do three days or two

days but if i were you

at least every two weeks i would do a 48

hour fast and it would do regular

fasting if you could do one meal a day

that would be

the best thing you could do but at least

two meals a day but fasting is going to

strengthen your immune system fasting is

going to lower your

inflammation in your body and of course

number seven do whatever you can to

reduce the stress we want to do a stress

detox if there are people in your

environment that are stressing you out

avoid them right now you need to be in a

healthy environment and the next most

important video for you to watch would

be on this topic on fasting so i put it

up right here check it out
