now the long-term effect of taking

cortical steroids like prednisone or

some type of cortisol cream

is pretty nasty it’s pretty nasty it has

some major side effects

and personally i ended up with poison

ivy pretty much every year in my 20s and

30s and i was forced to take these

cortical steroids and they started

developing all sorts of side effects

till the point where

it didn’t work anymore okay and so if i

get poison ivy on my body and it gets to

my face i will look like quasimodo okay

i mean like my whole face just swells up

i remember one time doing a video and i

wore

dark glasses because my eyes were you

couldn’t even see my eyes there was just

so much puffiness so it’s pretty nasty

so the more prednisone someone ends up

having to take long term

the more

susceptible they are to getting

corticosteroid resistance where

they’re in a situation where it just

doesn’t work anymore so that’s a pretty

bad condition to be in because

what these steroids do is they get rid

of inflammation primarily they actually

shut down the immune system that’s how

they do it so people take prednisone

and also cortical steroid injections and

creams for various reasons autoimmune

disorders especially rheumatoid

arthritis especially psoriasis

especially ms lupus and a whole bunch of

other autoimmune diseases

some people with copd chronic

obstructive pulmonary disease take it

definitely asthmatics people with ibs

people with skin conditions if you go to

a dermatologist chances are you’re going

to get some type of steroid cream and

also if you have some type of organ

transplant they use these steroids

so

the side effects

cataracts

you get moody okay you can ask my wife i

was very moody waking

i have a very interesting picture which

i’ll put up now of me in my 30s when i

was trying to do some rock climbing you

can see i had a pizza crust okay after

taking steroids then you have a

condition called cushing syndrome

right it’s a condition where you have

like a a moon face

the gut

you lose your leg muscles and your butt

muscles and i’ve done videos on the

adrenal body type and that’s really

cushing syndrome or aversion of cushing

syndrome

diabetes is a symptom i had a very good

friend who had to take

prednisone for um

a trigeminal neuralgia problem right a

nerve problem and destroyed his life

um osteoporosis is a side effect

but i think the biggest side effect is

this right here immunosuppression

which is the same thing is

immunodeficiency basically you no longer

have the full strength of your innate

immune system okay the immune system is

just

very very weak and it’s susceptible to

getting

bacterial infections and viral

infections

and these microbes are opportunistic

okay what does that mean it means they

take advantage of a situation

when your immune system is strong

they don’t mess with you because the

barriers are too high but when your

barriers are low and you’re more

susceptible and vulnerable to things

then they kind of kick you when you’re

down they’re pretty evil so this gives

you another side effect of these

cortical steroids which is basically

secondary infections so is there some

solution to this

the answer is yes okay i’m going to give

you a solution

the best thing you can do is start

taking vitamin d3

in higher amounts

like at least 20 000 iu’s but preferably

30 or even more international units of

vitamin d3

just make sure you don’t take vitamin d2

i’m not going to get into it in this

video i’ll have to do a a special video

just on d2 but you want d3

very very important especially what it

does to the vitamin d receptor so

vitamin d

is really not

a

vitamin it is a natural over-the-counter

steroid okay

it is like a healthy version of

prednisone okay

without the side effects so this is

really important and you’ll probably do

very well from this alone but there’s

other things i’m going to recommend like

plant steroids so there are natural

corticosteroids okay in plants

now steroids are kind of a

category of a lot of different things

you have like steroid hormones like

estrogen progesterone testosterone

things like that the plant steroids that

i’m going to recommend for you

are going to be the ones that mimic the

corticosteroids

the ones that are primarily going to

affect inflammation one’s called false

unicorn root okay that’s a chinese herb

next one is licorice root

okay and then

fenugreek okay these are three good

plant steroids that can create different

effects on the body like this one right

here is really good for skin conditions

like psoriasis right licorice root is a

really good anti-inflammatory

all over including histamines it’s kind

of like a natural histamine and then

fenugreek is really good for lung

inflammation and other types of

inflammation as well there’s a lot of

anti-inflammatory properties in

different plants like turmeric and

garlic

and thyme and things like that but the

anti-inflammatories i’m going to

recommend are basically plant

steroids okay number three you want to

get a good adrenal glandular extract

product it’s going to be bovine from a

cow

i would recommend getting the grass-fed

version and also freeze dried

why

because when i was in practice i would

always use the adrenal glandulars to

help people with

inflammatory conditions helping them

come off steroids in this transition

step it just supports the key gland that

makes these steroids which is the

adrenal gland so this is essential and

then number four and this is interesting

tatka is a synthetic bile product that

can do a lot of things but it’s a very

powerful anti-inflammatory

now you could also use other purified

biosalts too if this is not available

it will work but now why would tutka

help this condition because

bile salts have the ability

to activate

the vitamin d receptor so if there is a

problem

with

the vitamin d receptor for various

reasons whether it’s genetics

or another common reason

bacteria in your body and viruses have a

certain strategy that they can block the

vitamin d receptor in your body so it

shuts down your immune system so they

can actually you know do whatever they

want in your body

so it just so happens that you can use a

bile salt to open up the vitamin d

receptor and trigger that cascade of

effects that occur within the immune

system that’s supposed to be occurring

from vitamin d but if it’s blocked you

can use this too and i’ll tell you where

i got this information from there’s a

it’s called the marshall protocol

this dr marshall came up with a protocol

that uses

a combination of antibiotics

long term which i don’t like that option

and benecar which is a high blood

pressure medication

to treat autoimmune diseases now

benicara is a unique drug in that it can

also

open up the vitamin d receptor okay it

can mimic vitamin d even though it’s not

vitamin d but the problem is there’s

side effects from high blood pressure

medication and also you need a

prescription okay

taka and other purify bile salts you

don’t need a prescription so if you were

going to do some research on this you

would have to know

the terminology to search for it would

be the vdr analog the vitamin d receptor

analog which is basically something that

mimics something so this would mimic

vitamin d all right so now that you have

a good alternative

cortical steroids

i think the next most important video

for you to watch would be the one on

vitamin d so check out this video in

relationship to inflammation i put it up

right here
