Lyme Brain.

Written by Lee Stevenson.

The brain can heal but it takes someone very experienced to heal the brain from Lyme. Something not mentioned lyme can cause thrombosis that inhibits blood flow throughout the body. Covid and the covid vaccine can also cause many of these things to occur. The issues in the brain caused by Lyme is referred to as neuroborreliosis. Gut dysbiosis, mold exposure, many other infections especially herpes, and toxin exposure can cause much of this to occur but Lyme seems to really hit the brain. Many vaccine can cause this to occur.

Infection causes many of these things to occur. It can also occur in gut dysbiosis , tick born illness especially Lyme disease causes the most severe symptoms. I am going to discuss how the brain is effected by Lyme disease but keep in mind other infections and the things I mentioned can also cause these things to occur. Vaccine injury resembles the symptoms of tick born illness, especially injury by the Covid vaccines. Many who are vaccine injured often times get misdiagnosed with tick born illness. Vaccine injury makes a person more prone to getting tick born illness.

Somnolence which is excess sleepiness. This is caused by the brain swelling and many other injuries to the brain. A person will feel excessively sleepy no matter how much they sleep.

Insomnia difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Those who have had lyme call this wired but tired.

Emotional lability short emotional outburst, sudden episodes of laughing or crying. Over response to things emotionally. This can be caused by the brain inflammation or brain ischemia. Lyme causes both. Lyme can cause extreme episodes of depression.

Lyme causes impaired memory and concentration this is from the inflammation, damage to the brain and sometimes the ischemia.

Dementia impairments in memory , thinking, emotional problems, issues with language processing. Psychological symptoms can include depression, psychotic hallucinations and delusions, apathy, and anxiety. The most commonly affected areas include memory, visuospatial function affecting perception and orientation, language, attention and problem solving.

Lyme causes brain lesions which damages many areas of the brain.

Lymphocytic meningitis severe headache, possible fever, photophobia(light intolerance or light sensitivity) and meningism (swollen meningism usually causes neck stiffness, when severe it can cause severe swelling at back of the neck). Stiffness in knees, change in appetite, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness, non-blanching rash (skin lesions that do not fade when glass is pressed to the.)

Cranial neuritis blurred vision, Bell’s palsy, tingling and numbness in various areas, skin sensitive to touch. Week or paralyzed muscles, visual changes like blurred or double vision, issues with hearing.

Radiculopathy pinching of nerve in spinal cord. This can effect a variety of areas , it causes weakness or numbness in limbs, can cause pain and tingling. There will be pain in the area the spinal cord is pinched. Pain in and around the chest while breathing.

Hemorrages in the brain. Bleeding in the brain.

Myelitis inflammation in nerves that causes pain, tingling in extremities, loss of strength in extremities, loss of feeling, pain in area myelitis has occurred. Could cause problems with bowel or bladder control. And can develop a fever.

Vasculitis which can result in stroke. This is inflammation in the blood vessels which results in inhibited blood flow. This can cause headaches, fatigue, weight loss, aches and pains throughout the body. Can cause pain after eating and cause stomach ulcers. Can cause numbness in hands or feet, you can develop shortness of breath and even cough up blood, and bleeding under the skin which can cause skin lesions.

Brain atrophy the brain pretty much starts dying.

Brain calcification calcium deposits in blood vessels in the brain which severely effects how it functions. This can cause movement disorders, mental dysfunction, muscle rigidity and muscle trembling. It can cause uncontrolled movement of the limbs, difficulty swallowing, decline in intellectual function, impaired speech, headaches, severe dizziness, seizures and either the inability to urinate or excessive urination.

I do not make money from this blog. By the time I recovered from the Lyme and the damage from  the fluoroquinolones I was too old for anyone to even look at my application, so I have not been able to find work. I suspect I do not get phone calls because of my age. I am 58 years old and they probably view hiring me as a liability. So I have no source of income. I do have a link where a person can donate to help me out. As long as I am not working I am going to try and post things I believe will help people. I post this information for free so don’t feel obligated to donate. I would prefer if it came from the heart and not because of a feeling of obligation.

How fluorquinolones maim and kill.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am not the best editor.

This is not medical advice if you are ill it is best if you seek the aide of a qualified and experienced naturopath. I am posting this because when those injured by the Covid vaccine have an adverse reactions they are lying and telling them they have an infection and have been giving them flouroquinolones.

Click to access list-of-fluoroquinolone-antibiotics-in-a-table.pdf

Once you read all the harm being down you will realize why fluorquinolones were first patented as a poison to use for pest control, just as glyphosate was. Glyphosate is just as harmful and is now sprayed on and found in much of our food supply.

Fluoroquinolones damage the body in many ways. It severely damages the mitochondria. It damages the soft tissue in the body causing joint and ligament damage. They damage the blood brain barrier which protects the brain from infection and toxins. So those injured by fluoroqinolones end up with inflammation in the brain and if not corrected it can start damaging the brain. They can cause the retina to detach from the eye and cause severe neurological damage. These adverse reactions almost never get reported. Only 1% of adverse reactions to vaccines get reported and studies have shown even fewer adverse reactions to drugs and pharmaceutical products get reported. Medical professionals gas light and will tell the victim their illness is imagined, or they are being paranoid or they will tell them there illness is genetic or even idiopathic. When you hear them say it is idiopathic , you can almost be certain the illness was caused by a pharmaceutical product or medical error. Medical error is the third leading cause of death in the industrialized world. If you add to that the fact deaths from adverse reactions to vaccines and medications almost never get reported it is most likely the number one cause of death in the world.

To add insult to injury fluoroquinolones cause high parathyroid hormone levels and shut the vitamin D receptors down. This cause the bones and teeth to lose minerals so bones can become brittle and teeth become loose and rapidly decay. Many who had very healthy teeth started losing their teeth within a few months of getting injured by fluoroquinolones. I experienced this and dentist really disrespect you. You get treated like you are a low life and they act like you did not take care of your teeth. After years of trying to get help from dentist I did finally find Aspen dental. They did great work and one of the aides even recognized that I had been floxed. (term used by those injured by fluoroquinolones.).

Fluoroquinolones cause excess oxidative stress . A sign of this is rapid graying of the hair. This also causes severe damage to the body. Fluoroquinolones also cause systemic inflammation which is known to cause chronic illness. Chronic inflammation causes excess blood clotting, diabetes, cancer, kidney and liver disease, malabsorption and many other health issues. Many die before realizing they have been injured by fluorquinolones. These drugs are so harmful some have died from one dose of them.

Fluoroquinolones alter the microbiome increasing the microbes that cause infection , inflammation and oxidative stress. This causes the gut to become more porous. When this occurs food particles enter the blood stream and the body reacts to them because they are foreign substances that do not belong in the blood stream. This can cause the body to turn on itself leading to mast cell degranulation. A person can develop mast cell activation syndrome meaning their body is destroying itself. Now add to that the fact that our body reacts negatively to the endotoxins put out by our commensal microbes. The endotoxins they put out are meant to communicate with our digestive tract but the body is not designed to deal with them when they enter our blood stream and will react to them they same way it would if a person had an infection. This can cause the body to start destroying our beneficial microbes making it very difficult to get them restored. This causes severe gut inflammation.

Fluorqinolones damage the renal system so many develop interstitial cystitis or other renal problems. They also kill the beneficial microbes in the renal system causing frequent renal infections. This can occur with many antibiotics. It is very common for someone to get interstitial cystitis and renal infections after taking antibiotics. Many develop hormonal and microbial imbalance which causes vaginosis.

Fluoroquinolones shut down many of the detox pathways in the body causing toxins to build up in the body and altering hormone levels. Our bodies can usually easily remove mold toxins but once you have been floxed it cannot detox them and mold toxins become very damaging to the body. Our microbiome also protects us from mold toxins but fluoroquinolones kill off the microbes that protect us. This makes a person very very sensitive to mold which causes many health problems. A person may react to odors and fumes such as gasoline fumes when they have been injured by fluoroquinolones.

Fluoroquinolones also damage many metabolic pathways especially those involved in glycine and sulfur metabolism. This will cause people to develop high oxalate and high sulfite levels in the body. Fluoroquinolones also kill off the microbes that degrade oxalates and prevent them from entering the body. So now a person body is creating oxalates which are like having tiny pieces of glass float around in the body and the gut is more porous so oxalates from the diet are entering the body. These also cause a lot of damage in the body. The high sulfite levels inhibit the bodies ability to remove ammonia and convert glutamate. This will cause brain fog, severe headaches, dizziness and even sizures.

From the damage fluorquinolones cause a person can develop excess blood clotting and myocarditis or tachychardia. This causes ischemia throughout the body and can lead to a person having a stroke. The inhibited blood flow damages the skin and starts causing damage to the extremities and will increase the neurological damage.This can cause hands and feet to feel cold, experience dizziness or weakness when exerting oneself or when standing up.

Fluoroquinolones are very difficult to get out of the body so the damage from them can continue for years.

Fluoroquinolones cause the body to lose the ability to produce ATP and CoQ10. ATP is needed by the body for energy. CoQ10 is the hearts main source of energy. This is why those injured by fluoroquinolones become chronically fatigued. This can also cause hypoglycemia which will cause nausea, flushing especially in the face, heart palpitations, frequent waking through the night with possible night sweats which can turn to feeling cold.

Fluoroquinolones cause important minerals and calcium to be chelated from the body resulting in many health issues. And because they can stay in the body for years this can continue until the person had detoxed the fluoroquinolones which is very difficult because fluoroquinolones shut the detox pathways down. The chelation of minerals shut down many cytochrome enzymes needed for detoxing , this includes detoxing hormones in the body.

Fqs inhibit energy production in so many ways it is a wonder anyone survives fluorquinolones. They inhibit the Krebs cycle which is needed to use fat for energy. They cause a bypass in the electron transport chain which increases lactate production this is why those who get floxed experience chronic fatigue. This also causes the body to rely on gluconeogenesis for energy. The body uses protein for energy. This is why those who have been floxed experience muscle weakness and muscle wasting. It causes an increase in hydrogen pressure process which increases hydrogen pressure in the cells. This is why those who have been floxed react bad to vinegar because it stimulates lipolysis and glycolysis which also increases hydrogen pressure in the cells.

So as you can see to heal from FQs a person has to work on correcting mitochondrial issues , metabolic issues, reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, heal the gut and balance the gut microbes out , correct the detox issues fluoroquinlones have caused and it is necessary to detox the flouroquinolones in order to heal because they can stay in the body for years if you do not detox them.

The mitochondria replications becomes inhibited from the severe damage. The damaged mitochondria needs removed and the healthy mitochondria replication needs increased.

The minerals chelated by the FQs need replenished and will be chelated quickly until the FQs are detoxed from the body.

Methylation of DNA and histones is usually increased in those who have been injured by FQ which inhibits iron absorption. This can cause a person to react to methyl donors. B vitamins are the bodies main source of methyl donors. Usually the body cannot convert vitamin B6 to pyridoxal 5-phosphate. This is needed to convert vitamin B12 to bioavailable forms needed by the body so a person may develop high vitamin B12 levels which can damage neurons in the body.

Nutrients to restore the collagen lost need increased after correcting the glycine metabolism issues and sulfur metabolism issues.

Restoring the mitochondria potential is the most important part to restore ATP and COQ10 levels.

Working on improving lymphatic health is very important.

Healing the gut and balancing the microbiome is also very important in order to heal.

There is no one size fits all protocol, each protocol has to be unique to the individual.

There are so many ways fluoroquinolones damage the body, I have only listed the most common ways fluoroquinolone drugs injure people.

Other then increasing minerals, vitamin C , NAC, Niain, Alpha lipoic acid CoQ10, and collagin peptides may help with healing but it is best to find a naturopath who has experience at healing people from fluorquinolone drug damage.

Danger danger! Fluoroquinolones one of the most harmful drugs on the market.

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am not the best editor.

I was injured by fluoroquinolones. After I was injured by them medical doctors started refusing to treat me. I was left to suffer on my own. I was bedridden for many months and couldn’t even move my legs. I have since healed but there were times the pain was so severe I was praying to die. Please let those you care about and even your neighbors know the harm these drugs are causing. It takes years to recover from the harm they do. When you hear someone say they have been floxed or floxxed they are referring to being harmed by fluoroquinolone drugs. If harmed you may have to report it yourself at this link. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/questions-and-answers-fdas-adverse-event-reporting-system-faers/fda-adverse-event-reporting-system-faers-electronic-submissions

Fluoroquinolones are one of the most harmful antibiotics there is. When a person has an adverse reaction to fluoroquinolones they are ignored and the adverse reactions aren’t even acknowledged in spite of the black box warning that comes with these types of medications. They are still prescribed very frequently. There are people who have died from a single dose. It destroys the mitochondrial and soft tissue in the body causing ligaments to tear and mitochondria to stop functioning properly. I am going to provide links because a person really should learn about the harm these drugs do because healing from the damage these drugs cause can take many years and some damage can never be healed especially the damage that occurs to the eyes. These drugs can cause the brain to leak which can cause severe brain damage. Hopefully others will read this and share this information and help to protect those they care about. I am including links that help to clarify the harm these drugs are doing to people. So many are being injured by this drug and do not know it. When a person has been harmed by the medical industry or a pharmaceutical product they will falsely label the illness caused as idiopathic to gas light and hide what has truly occurred. They will even treat the person like they are imagining things or are being a hypochondriac.

These are the most common oral fluorquinolones prescribed but they are also used in eye drops and ear drops and can permanently damage the eyes and hearing. Avelox (moxifloxacin), Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Factive (gemifloxacin), Levaquin (levafloxacin), and Noroxin (norfloxacin). This is a link to a document that has a more extensive list. https://beforeyoutakethatantibiotic.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/list-of-fluoroquinolone-antibiotics-in-a-table.pdf

Most adverse reactions to drugs are not reported. Medical professionals gas light to protect themselves and the pharmaceutical industry. It may be necessary to get a lawyer. It is very important to get copies of your medical records because medical professionals work very hard to hide the harm they do and pharmaceutical product do. This is why only 1% of adverse reactions to vaccines get reported.

I was injured by these drugs and was bedridden for many months. The pain was so severe that I laid in bed begging to die. I did eventually heal with the help of some people on Facebook teaching me how to heal, but it took me many years to learn enough to know how to heal. In the mean time I lost everything I owned and by the time I was healed enough to work I was too old and don’t get called for interviews if I apply for a job. I do not qualify for disability, and the government will not assist me so I am stuck living off family and being a leech.

These drugs destroy your life and then you get to find out the truth about our government and how little they care about the citizens. Most politicians are heavily funded by the pharmaceutical industry and put their corporate sponsors interest first. They will have to face God some day and he does not accept excuses for answers. The information out there is easily found showing the harm these drugs do. Millions of victims have cried out to their political leaders and they go unheard. We all will have to face God some day and those causing the tribulation including those in positions to put an end to it the bible warns will experience tribulation many times over what they caused. Even those who die will not escape , because the bible says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. For the unrighteous it will be a resurrection of judgment. So they will have to pay for the harm being done.

I provided links showing there are many lawsuits being file for those harmed by fluorquinolones.

There is a huge list of symptoms of fluorquinolone injury. Sadly they match injury from the Covid vaccine so it will be difficult if a person has been injured by fluorquinolones, the Covid vaccines or both. http://fatsn.org/symptoms.htm If a person does not find a functional practitioner with experience healing from fluorquinolone injury their health will continue to decline. From personal experience a know a person can heal from them. It takes time, and self discipline and a functional medicine practitioner who has successfully healed people from fluoroquinolone injury.

This is a list of the most common symptoms I have seen.

Severe pain in the joints and ligaments

muscle fatigue or twitching

Sever back pain

Tachycardia which can cause dizzyness

Pain or loss of feeling in one side of the body

Shortness of breath

Chronically swollen lymph glands

Fibromyalgia

Bone loss, causing high calcium levels in the blood.

Brittle teeth that chip easily , or decay rapidly. Teeth may become loose from the bone loss.

Panic attacks, depression, brain fog, or confusion.

Blurred vision

Chronic insomnia

Exercise intolerance.

Bell’s palsy

Difficulty swallowing

Malabsorption or maldigestion.

(John 5:27-30) . . .. 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. 30 I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

Fluoroquinolone

Dealing with pyrrole disorder.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am not the best editor.

This is not medical advice, I am writing this for educational purposes. If you are ill it would be wise to seek the aid of a qualified and experienced naturopath.

High pyrrole levels cause depression, anxiety and many other health issues. It can be brought on by stress, trauma, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, eating foods that contain glyphosate and vaccine injury. Those who have high pyrrole levels will develop high levels of copper. Dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, GABA and adrenal hormone levels will become very low. Children born to parents who have experienced severe stress or trauma throughout there life will be more prone to developing pyrrole disorders. When this occurs it can lead to other hormones like progesterone, and testosterone levels being low and estrogen can become high even in men.

This is a list of things a person can experience. They may experience many of these symptoms.

Depression

Dry eyes and mouth

Severe mood swings

Episodes of extreme rage

Very low tolerance to stress

Severe fatigue

Blurred vision

Unable to recall dreams

Sunburns easily

Hypoglycemia or glucose intolerance.

Intolerance to light and experience blindness from bright light.

Cannot tolerate loud noise

In the morning they will experience nausea

Weight gain in the mid gut and around the hips

Women will experience issues with their menstrual cycle, they may miss periods

Men can experience erectile dysfunction

Impared memory, difficulty remembering things.

When more severe they will develop white spots similar to the ones a person develops from taking too much zinc. But this is actually a zinc deficiency so could fool someone if they did not look at all the symptoms.

May develop sensitivities to fumes, perfumes, off gassing from plastics and other environmental things.

When more severe they can experience tingling in extremities , hands and feet will be cold.

They can develop muscle twitching or muscle tremores.

Joint pain and joint swelling.

Breath and body odor will have an odd smell.

Experiences motion sickness easily.

When more severe they will be prone to frequent infections.

They may develop high histamines. If they do they will react to spinach, tomatoes, fermented or aged foods, bone broths, meat especially pork.

These are some supplements that may help to reduce pyrrole levels so a person can heal. They need much higher amounts of zinc so zinc supplementation is very important. Zinc picolinate would most likely help with hormone levels. They need much higher levels of vitamin B6 so vitamin B6 in the form of Pyridoxine hydrochloride (PLP) in the morning and in the form of Pyridoxal 5-phosphate in the evening should help. Magnesium is needed. Alternating each day between magnesium citrate and magnesium chloride would most likely be most beneficial. Vitamin B12 may help also. Low doses of manganese, molybdenum, biotin and boron may also help. Those should never be taken in high doses. Because melatonin will be low taking melatonin and vitamin A at night may help a person sleep better. Gamma linolenic acid is needed. Evening primrose oil, black current seed oil, or hemp seed oils are good sources of GLA. I do not recommend borage seed oil because it has an alkaloid that can build up in the body and start damaging the liver, though I have seen people have good results with it. Oatmeal is also high in GLA. Niacinamide should also help those who have high pyrrole levels. Oxidative stress levels are high in those with pyrrole dysorder so a person would most likely benefit from things like grape seed extract or pine bark extract which are potent antioxidants. NAC (N-acetylcysteine) increases glutathione but should only be taken three or four times a week. The oil soluble vitamins like vitamin D3, vitamin E, vitamin K2 and CoQ10 help to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Glutathione helps to reduce oxidative stress. Selenium is also a potent antioxidant by should never be taken in high doses.

Foods that would help are fruits and vegetables and sea food. They also need foods high in glutamine, glycine, cysteine and sulfur but these should not be consumed until the previous supplements have been used for a few days. It is important to get carbohydrates when you are experiencing high pyrrole levels especially in the evening. Getting enough vitamin C is very important when experiencing high pyrrole levels. It is very important to keep hydrated and we need to make sure the water we drink is not high in sulfur, iron, chlorine, flouride or toxins. If drinking bottle water make sure it says BPA free on the bottle. Many bottled waters are chlorinated so make sure you check that also.

Foods that should be avoided are those high in copper, foods that are aged or fermented. Foods high in gluten because it is inflammatory. Sugar and processed foods are inflammatory so should be avoided.

With any protocol as you heal it is best to start pulsing the protocol meaning skipping days were you do not take the supplements and rely on foods for the nutrients you need. Be aware if you are prone to pyrrole issues consuming too many high sulfur foods, red meat or pork can start bringing the health issues back. As you heal you should be able to start adding foods back into your diet. If foods you add back cause problems it indicates you still have some healing to do.

It is very important to learn to manage stress, we cannot avoid it now days. Meditating on things that relax us , praying, bible study, and yoga have been shown to help reduce stress levels. Also doing puzzles, or doing word problems can help to reduce stress and improve memory. Going for walks in nature has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood.

Detoxing, especially endotoxins.

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am not the best editor.

This is not medical advice I am writing this for educational purposes. If you are ill it would be wise to find a qualified and experienced naturopath.

These are the things i have seen people use in groups on Facebook and they seemed to have very good results form using them. Some I have used and found them to be very effective when I was herxing from Lyme.

If you are not doing your best to eat organic and avoid GMO and foods that are high in glyphosate and other farm chemicals you will be fighting a losing battle.

These are the herbs and supplements I used that I noticed very good results from . Rooibos tea, Pau Darco tea, Dandelion tea, Sumac berry tea, burdock root, sarsparilla, Cleavers was amazing at cleaning out my lymph glands it is also known as bestraw. Rehmannia really improved my energy levels.

A drink made with lemon, water, 1/8 teaspoon of aluminum free cream of tartar, and a little sea salt or himalayan salt, raw honey to taste.

A tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar with in a cup of water with a little raw honey.

glutathione and melatonin helped me a lot. Before taking melatonin a person has to make sure their vitamin D levels are not low. NAC helps but should only be taken about three times a week. Bromelain helped me a lot with reducing toxins and inflammation. Betaine also known as trymethylglycine (TMG) help reduce toxins and improve some metabolic pathway function in the body. Vitamin C helps but should not be taken in high dose. High dose vitamin C can destroy red blood cells and chelate minerals from the body. There are hydrogen supplements a person can get that you dissolve in water. The water has to be drank quickly because after about twenty minute the levels of hydrogen in the water becomes reduced. Tumeric is very healing but if taken in high dose or for too long it can cause anemia because it chelates minerals from the body. Milk thistle is great for healing but high in iron so most likely should not be taken daily so a person does not increase iron levels to high.

Doing yoga, bouncing and lymphatic massage helps to drain the lymphatic system.

Activated charcoal helps to keep endotoxins and other toxins from being reabsorbed into the body.

Soaking in epsom salt then getting 20 minutes of far infrared or sunlight.

Licorice root helps a lot but should not be drank daily because it can cause salt retention.

These are a list of herbs I have seen others have good results with but I never tried myself. Forsythia, Jasminoides, New Jersey tea (Caenothus Americnus), terminalia chebula, Bayberry, Coptis,

Getting light in the morning and shutting lights out at night is very important because our detoxing is regulated by our circadian rhythm. Even if we cannot sleep it is important to lay down with the lights out. It teaches our body that is the time to rest and can help to correct our biological clock.

It is very important to make sure your water is not high in iron because well water high in iron is the number one cause of Alzheimers and Parkinson’s. Excess iron is the body is very damaging and can build up in the brain and organs causing damage. Make sure your water does not contain chlorine or fluoride they are very toxic and damaging to the body. If you drink bottled water make sure it is BPA free. There are filters you can put on water faucet to reduce the toxins exposure.

It is very important to increase feel good hormone they prevent inflammation which can block detox pathways. Ways to do this are to do puzzles, or play a game, have a hobby like knitting or even model building. Humming or singing stimulates the vagus nerve which improves brain health. Laughing also increases feel good hormones. Getting a massage can help. Hugging and caressing increases the feel good hormones.

Meditate on things that relax you. Yoga has been found to improve mental health.

Reducing uric acid/gout.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am not the best editor.

This is not medical advice I am writing this for educational purposes. Supplements should be taken with the guidance of a qualified and experienced naturopath.

If uric acid levels are high a person will react to things that contain purines like peanut butter and aged or fermented foods. Often time high uric acid levels can cause high ammonia levels. Uric acid increases TH17 levels so this can cause joint pain and deterioration and muscle wasting , fatigue because oxidative phosphorylation can become inhibited causing low ATP levels. A person well start developing food sensitivities. It may be necessary to avoid foods high in purines until a person has gotten their uric acid levels down. Uric acid can also cause kidney stones, it can damage the renals system and can cause interstitial cystitis, vaginosis and vulvadynia. Uric acid is needed by the body and in normal levels the body uses it as an antioxidant. Inflammation , oxidative stress, toxins, glyphosate and eating GMOs cause high uric acid levels. Vaccine injury can cause high uric acid levels. The covid injections are damaging the body in a way it is causing high uric acid levels. Uric acid increases renin-angiotensin expression when over expressed it causes cardiovascular disease. Mushrooms can increase uric acid levels. Processed sugar and fructose should be avoided. Excess alcohol consumption can cause high uric acid levels. If a diet is deficient in glycine or tryptophan it will increase uric acid levels. Proper sulfation is need to prevent high uric acid levels. Uric acid is needed to scavenge nitric oxide. Low hippurate levels can cause high uric acid levels. It is produced from consuming foods that contain phenylalanine and polyphenols and converted by our microbiota. High uric acid levels can cause obesity and diabetes. It can cause autoimmunity. Excess uric acid can cause gout and autoimmune diseases like lupus.

Excess stress or trauma can increase uric acid levels. Taking excess niacin can cause high uric acid levels. Meditation and simplifying life reduces levels of uric acid.

If the immune system has been damaged it can cause high uric acid levels.

High uric acid levels could be a sign that there is something causing excess cell death. The underlying cause of the high uric acid levels need to be addressed or taking supplements to reduce uric acid will not help.

Uric acid increases NADPH oxidase expression which can cause excess oxidative stress. High uric acid levels can be a sign insulin levels are too high.

Exercise reduces uric acid levels. Reducing intake of animal protein reduces uric acid levels.

Nitric oxide is low in those with high uric acid levels. This could be cause by metabolic issues or a diet deficient in nitrate or nitrites. Nitrates can be found in dark leafy greens and beet juice.

Foods that help reduce uric acid levels are pomegranate, artichoke, cherries, lemon juice, sprouts, celery, hibiscus tea, birch bark tea, berries, Brazil nuts, parsely, beans and legumes, celery, pumpkin, oatmeal, water mellon, coffee, milk, goat milk, walnuts, pecans, sugar cane extract, tomatoes, brewers yeast, broccoli, organ meats, and walnuts. Rooibos tea reduces uric acid levels. Foods high in potassium like bananas and citrus fruit reduces uric acid levels. Brown or black rice can help to reduce uric acid levels.

Vitamin C helps speed up the removal of uric acid from the body but high dose can actually cause the body to retain uric acid. Apple cider vinegar also reduces uric acid levels.

Consuming Omega 3 oils help to reduce uric acid levels.

Zinc low levels can impair the the urea cycle this can also cause high ammonia levels.

Alternate between magnesium citrate and magnesium chloride.

Wild yam, most species reduce uric acid including smilax.

Burdock root

Grape seed extract

Harpago phytum

Healing from chronic illness should start with the brain and gut.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am not the best editor.

This is not medical advice I wrote this for educational purposes.

I am going to discuss some causes of injury to the brain and things that may help a person to heal. Those who have had Lyme know what it is like it severely damages the brain and causes memory loss, mode swings, depersonalization and many other issues. Many of us who had Lyme had to work together to figure out how to heal our brains on our own. Something to take note of never take high doses of supplements that usually does more harm then good. Buy lower dose and if you need more then you can take more. These often times damage the heart and cause excess blood clotting , restricted blood flow and can cause myocarditis or tachychardia. If these things are not addressed a person could die. This also damages the HPA so the adrenals need healed. All these things take time to heal and a person cannot expect to heal overnight. Depending on how bad a person is injured it can take months to a few years to fully heal. A person will develop food sensitivities so should be aware of foods that alter their moods. Once they heal this will not occur. This is just to give people an idea of things they will need to do to heal. This is mostly going to discuss the brain. The genetic, mitochondrial, metabolic and other health issues will need addressed if you are going to heal. It is best to find an experienced naturopathic practitioner with a good record for healing people.

This is not comprehensive there is much more to healing the brain but I feel writing this could help people get a start and give them some things they can research that may help them.

There is another group of people that will experience these symptoms and that is those who has had to deal with excess trauma, or excess stress or has had their hear broken. They develop what is known as Takotsubo syndrome or broken heart syndrome. Those who have been injured by the Covid injections are developing symptoms very similar to Takosubo syndrome.

It is very complex healing the brain after injury from vaccines, a pharmaceutical drug, eating processed foods, eating food that are GMO, eating foods high in glyphosate, or other toxins. Stress can also damage the brain. Many who have had Lyme refer to it as Lyme brain. Those who have had Covid are experiencing very similar things as those who had Lyme. Gut dysbiosis , gut infection or gut injury will also cause this to occur. Whatever the cause it needs addressed. If it is an infection the infection needs addressed. If it is caused by a toxin a person would have to correct the health issues caused by the toxin.

The key contributors to the damage to the brain are the inflammation and oxidative stress that has occurred. This throws the immune system out of balance. This causes autoimmunity, and chronic illnesses.

A person who has dealt with these things are often times traumatized because they get abandoned by the medical community and often times abandoned or ignored by friends. They may even get treated like they are paranoid or crazy. Many who have experienced this develop Borderline Personality Disorder. When that occurs even after the person has healed their brain they will need to seek counseling from someone who is experienced with helping those who have BPD.

Low doses of selenium, iodine, and magnesium help. Usually I alternated between magnesium citrate and magnesium chloride.

Inflammatory foods such as wheat, animal protein, corn oil, canola oil, rape seed oil, vegetable oil and things that contain transfat should be avoided as much as possible.

Oils like fish oil, evening primrose oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil are anti inflammatory and may help. Melatonin is a very potent antioxidant and anti-inf

Eating fruits helps especially ones low in sugar like pomegranate, berries and cherries.

Most are deficient in nitric oxide. Leafy greens, beet root, and pomegranate can help to increase Nitric oxide levels.

Often times sulfation is effected and would need corrected. Things like pyridoxal 5-posphate (P5P) , vitamin B12, CoQ10, low dose molybdenum, low dose manganese and eating foods high in folate will help with sulfation issues.

Often times the gut microbes are out of balance this will cause hormone imbalances. These things would need addressed. Increasing urseodeoxycholic acid producing microbes will usually decrease inflammation and oxidative stress fairly effectively. Increasing the butryate producing microbes reduces inflammation. Many of our Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium produces GABA which helps the brain heal. I will not get into probiotics but many of them balance our dopamine, serotonin and other neuropeptide levels. Fruit Pectin, resistant starch and jerusalem artichoke root can increase the bacteria that normalize our neuropeptides.

Some of the most potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory herbs are grape seed extract, pine bark extract, curcumin, and adrographis.

Increasing nitric oxide and protecting the heart is very important during these times. Some herbs and supplements that can help improve blood flow and protect the heart or CoQ10, consume foods high in nitrates, bacopa, butchers broom, nattokinase, and grape seed extract. Hawthorne has been found to be very healing for the heart.

Oxytocin levels usually become low. Once sulfation is corrected things like sprirulina can help to increase oxytocin. Cod liver oil, olive oil, avocado oil and chocolate can increase oxytocin. Shepards purse and alfalfa increases oxytocin. Getting a message, caressing, even hugging can increase oxytocin.

Herbs that can help improve adrenal function are adaptogenic herbs like gensing, Lemon balm, ashwangha, eleuthero, rhodiola, maca root, holy basil can help to heal the adrenals. Copper and vitamin C are very important for adrenal function but in high dose vitamin C can break down red blood cells.

Things that can improve dopamine levels are oat straw tea, panax gensing, gingko, tumeric, St Johns wort , velvet bean, and Kava kava can help to increase dopamine levels. Kava kava can irritate the stomach and if taken in high dose or long term can damage the liver. Doing something creative helps to increase dopamine. Even doing things such as puzzles or coloring in coloring books can increase dopamine. Vitamin D increases dopamine but should not be taken in high dose. Melatonin increases dopamine. Fenugreek, anise seed increases dopamine. Doing acts of kindness increases dopamine. Smelling lavender increases dopamine. Calming music increases dopamine. Looking at photos of people you care about increases dopamine.

Increasing endorphins help reduce inflammation and pain. Light exercise even yoga increases endorphins. Laughter increases endorphines. Eating hot peppers increases endorphins. Listening to music, getting sunlight also increases endorphins. B vitamins increase endorphins but some can build up in the body and damage the liver so I would not take them daily. Foods that increase endorphins are citrus fruit, bananas, and foods that contain phenylalanine. Nuts contain folate which increases endorphins. Greek yogurt can increase endorphins.

Often times the circadian rhythm gets disrupted. This can effects our whole body including our microbiome and hormones. It is very important to work to correct this. Melatonin, getting sunlight as soon as a person rises in the morning, avoiding blue light from phones, tvs and personal computers before going to bed helps. Even if you cannot sleep try laying in bed, it can help train your mind and body that is the time to go to sleep.

High hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria in the gut can disrupt the circadian rhythm. Also gut dysbiosis can dysrupt the circadian rhythm. Salt increases hydrogen sulfide production in the gut. A diet deficient in polyamines can also disrupt the circadian rhythm. Foods high in proline especially spermidine helps to increase the microbes that maintain the bodies biological clock.

Things that can help speed up healing in the brain are mugwort things that contain berberine like coptis or bayberry. Fish oil can speed up healing of the brain. Passion flower can help to heal the brain but in high dose or if taken for too long it can start to damage the liver. Some have said passion flower irritates their guts. Lions mane mushroom also helps to speed up healing of the brain. Kudzu has been shown to improve brain function. California poppy improves brain function and reduces pain.

Increasing Sirt1 can speed up all around healing. Nicotinamide increases Sirt1. Grape seed extract increases Sirt1. Pine bark extract, grapes especially muscidine grapes increase Sirt1 expression.

These are things that can help to normalize neuropeptides and hormones in the brain. Mango leaf, wild carrot leaves and flowers, Sweet fennel, most types of lovage, star anise, Juniper scopulorum leaves, Sassafras root, most species of basil, thyme, nutmeg, bacopa, and wax flower root. These also reduce inflammation in the mucus membranes so would help the lungs, blood brain barrier , bladder and many other areas of the body to heal. These should help those who have long Covid symptoms. I would use caution with these herbs many of them if taken in high dose can cause hallucinations and some of them if taken long term like sassafras can be carcinogenic to the liver.

Teasel for joint health.

Written by Lee Stevenson,. Sorry I am a lousy editor.

This is not medical advice, I am writing this for educational purposes. If you are ill please seek the assistance of a qualified and experienced functional medicine practitioner.

Teasel (dipsacus spp)

Dipsacus fullonum is the species most are used to seeing but there are other species and because the phytochemicals are very similar I am going to speak about depsacus spp as a whole. Teasel contains a chemical that has been found to prevent soft tissue degeneration and reduce soft tissue inflammation. Most of the experiments with Dipsacus species have been on animals but my experience I have seen first hand many of those experiments to translate over to humans which is rare in animal experiments.

Teasel contains a chemical that helps prevent neurological and brain damage. Many species of teasel were shown to be effective against a variety of borellia species which causes Lyme disease.

Teasel is effective against many types of gut bacteria that causes inflammation and may be why it improves joint health and prevents joint inflammation. It also is effective against many types of fungus infections. Lyme can cause bone deteriation. Teasel has been shown to reduce bone deterioration.

Teasel has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Benefits of berberine.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

This has been written for educational purposes, it should not be taken as medical advice. If you are ill please find an experienced and qualified functional medicine practitioner.

Berberine

There are many plants that contain berberine. It is best to research which may be the best fit for the individual. Barberry, bayberry, coptis, oregon grape root and many other plants. Berberine can protect against metabolic disease and diabetes. Berberine reduces joint inflammation. Berberine improves cardiovascular health. Berberine prevents depression and cognitive decline. Berberine can promote weight loss. Berberine prevents lung inflammation. It has a short half life so needs to be taken more then once a day. Berberine helps to reduce bacteria overgrowth in the gut. Berberine helps to protect the liver. Berberine has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Berberine has a broad range of antimicrobial properties and even kills parasites. The antioxidant properties of berberine are comparable to that of vitamin C. Berberine’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects contribute to it ability to protect the renal system. Berberine prevents insulin resistance and improves glucose intolerance. Berberine improves kidney and liver function. Berberine increases the bodies natural steroids which reduces inflammation. Berberine prevents candida overgrowth. Endotoxins cause leaky gut. Berberine heals the gut and prevents the negative effects of the endotoxins. Berberine prevents fatty liver disease by balancing the microbiome. Berberine improves mitochondrial respiration which increases cellular ATP levels which would prevent obesity. Berberine also increase the microbes in the gut that prevent obesity. Berberine reduces B-catenin levels which would inhibit herpes and corona viruses from entering the cells.

Bererine has been found to inhibit many types of infection from amoeba to viral. It has been shown to be effective against Covid and herpes.

Excess consumption of berberine can cause stomach pain or cramping, distention, flatulence, nausea , diarrhea or constipation. Very high doses can cause low blood pressure and flu like symptoms. It can cause uterine contractions so should not be used by pregnant women.

When chronically ill the medicine you choose could mean life or death.

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am a lousy editor.

This is not medical advice I have written the for educational purposes.

At the end of this I am going to briefly explain how someone can heal and how a person’s friends and family can help with the healing of the individual. Keep in mind if you are getting allopathic treatment then this article will be bleak for you because those getting allopathic treatment the outcome usually is not good. Those who seek the treatment of a functional medicine practitioner the outlook is much much better. Allopathic medicine is limited in the testing they do because they only know how to look at the symptoms and not the cause of illness. Functional medicine looks at the cause of illness so many of the test I mention in this article most will have never heard of them. If your medical practitioner does not know what these test are or what labs they can order them from then I would seek someone else it means they do not know enough to help you heal. It is becoming clearer and clearer most of the time if you chose allopathic you chose death and if you chose functional medicine you choose life.

You can heal from this. The keys are getting inflammation down, reducing oxidative stress and addressing whatever caused the illness and correcting any health issues caused. I have written this to help clarify why certain things happen and at the end I explain that there is a way out and you can heal. Something I do not mention is mold it can cause illness if a person is subjected to high levels and they have other health issues. It can lead to them developing sepsis, post sepsis or CIRS.

I am going to try and make the distinction between sepsis and post sepsis and explain how they contribute to long term illness and even mortality. The harm caused to the body from sepsis can take years to heal if the person who is ill does not have the proper guidance and treatment. Allopathic medicine only treats the symptoms they do not treat the cause so can only throw medications at the condition which eventually causes a person to become sicker while they feel better at first. Functional medicine addresses the causes of the illness. I am also going to discuss the causes of sepsis which there are many and infection is not the only cause. Something to take note of infants are being born with sepsis. If they parent has experienced vaccine injury , come in contact with toxins especially glyphosate, used antibiotics, medication, excess stress it can induce sepsis in the infant and they can be born with sepsis even vaginal dysbiosis can cause an infant to be born with sepsis so many who are now adults have some how managed to survive post sepsis and have dealt with it most of their lives. These ones can heal but it takes much more time and patience. For example glyphosate has been found to be very high in many infants and it has been found to be very harmful especially to a developing child. Functional medical practitioners are aware of sepsis and know how to deal with and prevent it to reduce the harm and speed up recovery.

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Post sepis is what occurs when a person survives sepsis. In sepsis the body is fighting to stay alive. It can result from infection, emotional trauma, depression, physical trauma, drug injury, vaccine injury, eating foods high in toxins such as GMOs, farm chemicals found in most foods and toxins added to foods. Sepsis usually occurs from more then one of those thing occurring . Many infants are in a state of post sepsis from parents who have been vaccine injured or from being vaccine injured as infants. In sepsis the body is fighting to stay alive so it shuts many things down and upregulates many other things. This is keeping the person alive but causes a lot of damage in the body and causes thrombosis which causes excess blood clotting and damage to blood vessels. The mortality rate for Sepsis is very high. In sepsis the adrenals get upregulated , the body starts causing the blood to clot, systemic inflammation and excess oxidative stress occurs. If the sepsis and cause of sepsis is not addressed the person has very little chance of surviving. Sepsis causes a hormone imbalance that is unique from post sepsis. In sepsis the adrenal hormones are very high in post sepsis the adrenals have become worn out and no longer function properly. It takes a very strict protocol to help recover from sepsis and post sepsis. If a person does not address what has caused their sepsis while they are in post sepsis they can slip back onto sepsis only this time it is much more dangerous because of the organ damage and tissue damage that has already occurred throughout the body. Infants born by C-section have a dramatic increased risk of acquiring sepsis because they do not receive the microbes that protect them from the mothers vaginal fluids. Infants who are breast fed have a dramatic decreased risk of sepsis. Studies have shown the sooner a mother starts breast feeding the less the risk is of the infant getting sepsis. The microbes that protect the child can be found if a person know where to look and has an experienced functional medicine practitioner.

Sadly when a child experiences sepsis from a vaccine the medical professionals lie and instead of reporting the adverse reaction to the vaccine they brush the parents concerns off or they will lie and tell them it is proof the vaccine is working. We also cannot rule out other causes of neonatal sepsis though. These are some of the symptoms of neonatal sepsis. These are the main symptoms but not all symptoms. If a child develops sepsis from vaccine injury it is up to the parent to report it. Mot medical professional do not know how to identify vaccine injury and the ones who do will not report it.

Not feeding will or frequent vomiting.

Fever or inability to properly regulate body temperature.

Rapid breathing or long pauses in breathing.

Pale appearance or a whole body rash.

Something else that occurs, sepsis can cause gut dysbiosis and gut dysbiosis can cause sepsis. The systemic inflammation cause our gut microbial makeup to change to an inflammatory one. This leaves things that normally would not enter the body enter the body such as endotoxins, heavy metals and environmental toxins and even food particles. This is why those with sepsis and post sepsis develop, high heavy metal levels and will have oxalate issues, food intolerance and food allergies. This is a cycle that becomes difficult to break because this also contribute to the systemic inflammation, immune dysfunction,and oxidative stress. This is why it is very very important to heal the gut when dealing with sepsis and post sepsis. Gut dysbiosis on it’s own can cause organ damage and failure and has been linked to diabetes, mental disorders and heart disease. When a person develops sepsis they also become more prone to infection increasing their risk of dying from sepsis or post sepsis. It is very important to replace the microbes lost, reduce inflammation and balance the immune system.

You can survive sepsis and post sepsis. It takes someone very knowledgeable in functional medicine. It takes very specific supplements and nutrients unique to each person. There is no one size fits all. If a person has post sepsis and has not addressed what caused their sepsis they could develop sepsis again and each time their risk of mortality increases because many organs are already damaged and struggling to function. When a person has post sepsis things such as the adrenal and many other hormones are low. I will not get into detail because it can get very complex.

When a person experiences Sepsis DAMPs, MAMPs, and PAMPs are released. These are danger signals that stimulate the immune system, systemic inflammation, and oxidative stress all these things contribute to damage in the body but also contribute to keeping a person alive by preventing the toxins, depression, infection or any other causative agents from killing the person. It is the bodies last ditch effort to survive. So to survive sepsis you need to address the causes. Also to try and prevent post sepsis the inflammation, oxidative stress, organ damage, metabolic and gene issues caused need addressed. A person who has survived go into a state of post sepsis. Usually the oxidative stress and systemic inflammation is still there but they have metabolic issues, organ issues, endocrine issues, and immune dis-regulation have to be addressed. If these things are not addressed chronic illness will start to occur and they will develop autoimmune diseases, digestive issues. Brain swelling occurs and needs addressed. The organ damage needs addressed. If the post sepsis is not corrected organ failure will occur and a person will start to develop things such as liver disease and kidney disease, interstitial cystitis and many many more illnesses. When it has reached the stage of causing organ damage it takes much much longer to correct. Notice inflammation is one of the key factors in causing the chronic illness. Reducing inflammation is key to healing.

Most allopathic medical professionals do not know how to identify or deal with sepsis but functional medicine practitioners have been trained to identify and address it. It is very important to distinguish between sepsis and post sepsis. What is good for treating sepsis may home someone with post sepsis. There are those who still have the issues that caused their sepsis so they will alternate between bouts of sepsis and bouts of post sepsis. Those are the most difficult to heal because with those one the little things are very very important. Ones who can still have a tendency to experience sepsis get set back very very easily. Things that would normally be beneficial like social interaction can really take it’s tolls on those who are still going back and forth between experiencing sepsis and post sepsis. When I was very ill it was surprised how even positive social interaction would set me back for days. The brain is so focused on healing the body and dealing with the pain and keeping track of healing and what needs to be done to heal that anything that takes more thought can set us back. I remember if I interacted on Facebook too much when I was very very ill it would really set me back and often times it was positive interactions, my Facebook friends would be encouraging me and teaching me. But combine the chronic illness , with the normal stresses of daily life and it gets overwhelming. This can increase the blood clotting and tax the adrenals which dramatically sets our health back. It also increases brain inflammation. So when in a state of sepsis or post sepsis we have to learn to listen to our bodies and our minds. It can be difficult because sometimes it is necessary to isolate ones self to let their brain and body recover. Little things are very very important like maintaining glucose and insulin levels, making sure we support our adrenals. Even though we may want to be sociable if our minds or our body is telling us not to do it then we need to find a way to listen to our bodies within reason. We do have certain family responsibilities but We also need to try our best to get our family to understand the harm of social interactions and others things may be causing us. These things are usually healing to the body when we are well but when in a state of sepsis or post sepsis the body is in survival mode so nothing is as it should be. Those experiencing sepsis or post sepsis often times look healthy, and will pretend to be healthy which I did often so they are responsible for some of the lack of understanding people have towards those who are chronically ill. These can be prevented and corrected with the correct guidance from someone knowledgeable in how to deal with these things.

Now I will cover the many ways that sepsis and post sepsis kills. They kill by causing damage to the organs, this is why those with sepsis and post sepsis die from organ failure, brain damage, but the most common cause of death during sepsis and post sepsis is heart failure. The inflammation and oxidative stress damages the organs including the heart and brain. It also causes excess blood clotting and excess blood vessel damage which often times leads to heart failure. Another way that sepsis and post sepsis causes heart failure is through the adrenal dysfunction. The limbic system regulates our blood pressure and heart rate. A healthy adrenal system is required for this. This is where the real harm comes in because adrenal dysfunction also causes excess blood clotting and blood vessels can constrict, now add to the fact the inflammation and oxidative stress is interfering with the limbic system and adrenals to interact with each other to properly regulate the cardiovascular system and a person because prone to heart failure or stroke. There are many other ways that sepsis and post sepsis can cause heart failure to numerous to continue but these are the most common causes. I am stating this to let people know the importance of not ignoring these things. They need addressed and corrected.

Because the body experiences oxygen deprivation from the restricted blood flow throughout body causes organ damage, damage to the brain and neurological damage. The neurological damage in itself can cause death. Now ad to the fact that pain has been shown to cause things to occur in the body that can result in death. Mitochondrial function get upregulated during sepsis and down regulated and even inhibited during post sepsis. So if we do things that would increase certain mitochondrial processes during sepsis it could increase the persons mortality. For example when a person is in a state of sepsis increasing ATP levels increases mortality but when in a state of post sepsis increasing ATP can speed up healing. In post sepsis usually mitochondria function is inhibited so increasing it can speed up recovery but in full on sepsis increasing certain mitochondrial function can increase mortality. I will try to cover the best I can how to distinguish between the two though some things do overlap in sepsis and post sepsis for example often times oxidative stress and systemic inflammation levels are still high in both.

Now I will try my best to describe the symptoms of sepsis and test that can be used to detect when someone has sepsis.

Fast heart rate or an irregular heart beat

Temperature dis-regulation some may have a fever some may be hypothermic.

Warm or clammy skin or excessive sweating.

Mental confusion , feeling disoriented, or disassociation

Dizziness

Rapid breathing or shortness of breath and at times it may be difficult to take a breath.

Muscle weakness.

Difficulty waking up.

Skin rash, skin burning or severe itching.

If severe enough seizures.

Some test that can be used to detect if a person has sepsis.

Excessively high or low glucose or insulin levels.

Difficulty urinating.

Back pain which is caused by a variety of issues.

Irregular heart beat which can cause dizziness when walking or standing.

Sudden sharp or burning pain in the chest.

Difficulty breathing especially when lying down.

Anciety, fear, flash backs, even paranoia from the increased brain inflammation. This can also cause depression and suicidal thoughts.

Ok test that can be used to determine if someone has sepsis . Now some of these test also overlap with post sepsis.

Vassopressin levels it becomes impaired during sepsis.

Glucose and insulin levels

A complete thyroid test even testing for reverse T3. Usually reverse T3 is low and T4 levels are high. Thyroid hormone levels usually become decreased.

Testing cortisol levels . Cortisol is usually high.

During sepsis Growth hormone levels are usually high.

Often times white blood cell count is high in sepsis.

Low red blood cell count or high red blood cell count which often times gets mistaken for leukemia.

Liver function should be tested because it becomes impaired during sepsis. Bilirubin and creatine should be tested.

Lactic acid levels usually become high during sepsis.

Inflammatory cytokines such as C-reactive, IL-3, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MCP-1, MMP-9, IL-13 and TNF-a.

Troponin, natriutetic peptides and myoglobin to check for myocardial dysfunction.

Arterial blood gases to test pulmonary function.

Prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time, platelet count when low it indicates excess blood clotting. D-dimer can also indicate if blood is clotting excessively.

The type of sepsis is important to determine it is from infection or to rule out infection a test for endotoxins can be done. It is non specific but it will indicate if an infection is present.

If procalcitonin is high it can indicate there is a bacteria infection present.

IGF-1 is low during sepsis.

Catecholamine levels become high during sepsis. (dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine)

Glutamine levels become low but increase in the brain because it’s uptake into the cells becomes inhibited. This can cause glutamate toxicity in the brain. Increasing glutamate levels during sepsis increases risk of mortality.

Copeptin is usually high in sepsis which makes it difficult to urinate.

Leptin levels are usually high during sepsis.

Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone is usually high during sepsis which increases B-endorphin and GABA.

Ok now lets cover Post Sepsis . Many of the symptoms of sepsis and post sepsis overlap for example usually the systemic inflammation and oxidative stress levels remain high. So the organ damage, brain inflammation and immune dysfunction remain but the symptoms will change because often times the organ damage causes hormone changes that are different in sepsis. For example the adrenals, liver and kidney function has because lower so those hormones and enzymes will be different then that found in sepsis. Mitochondrial respiration and other mitochondrial functions have become inhibited in post sepsis. In sepsis it usually becomes upregulated so the causes of oxidative stress between sepsis and post sepsis are different.

Some symptoms that may be found in post sepsis.

Difficulty sleeping or difficulty staying asleep.

Fatigue, lethargy.

Sever muscle and joint pain. Poor muscle function, muscles will be tight and difficult to move.

Swelling in limbs

Susceptibility to repeat infections.

Hair loss

skin rashes or burning skin

many of the psychological symptoms carry over to post sepsis such as anxiety attack, memory flash backs, nightmares or strange dreams that make no sense, difficulty concentrating, memory loss

Most medical professionals do not even acknowledge sepsis. They send patients home and either they are not concerned or lack the knowledge to be able to identify when they have caused sepsis or they are trying to hide their error. Studies have shown that most who have had sepsis get sent home and have no farther support or resources which increases their mortality. Now add to this , the fact that those with sepsis appear to be healthy so they get ostracized and criticized by family. They do not get the support they need and often time family adds burdens to them that not only hinder their healing but because of the stress, depression and physical demands it can send them back into sepsis this is why those who have survived sepsis have a 40% mortality rate. They lack the support and resources needed for them to heal. When a person is suffering from sepsis any emotion even positive can put a physical demand on the body because their body and brain are in survival mode. Yet they say that those who have post sepsis have lost their minds and are isolating themselves, or they are neglecting family when they are actually trying to survive. Those with post sepsis are on a teeter totter. They can quickly develop sepsis again and each time it takes longer to recover. Little things add up and can help a person to get over the hill and start to recover but very few have the support they need to focus on those little things. I cannot get into details when I say little things because the list is long but one of them is when a person is showing memory loss or being irritable they are struggling and need help with some of the normal everyday burdens that are usually easy for others to do. They become mountains for someone suffering from post sepsis syndrome.

It would take me a very long time to show what happens and why with post sepsis. The mitochondria is the little factories of the body which are involved in almost everything in the body. In post sepsis the mitochondria shrinks and molecules can not longer be transferred into and out of the mitochondria. It slows the bodies processes down. In order to get the mitochondria functioning again. The inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic issues and many other things have to be corrected. It takes very specific nutrients for the person and a lot of self discipline. A person can recover from post sepsis but it takes time persistence and a lot of learning. There are many things that occur in sepsis and it takes very specific nutrients to get things functioning correctly again. For example often times the pituitary, adrenals, thyroids and hypothalamus become damaged. It takes time and very specific nutrients and protocols to promote their healing. This causes many hormones to get out of balance like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenal hormones, many hormones needed for proper brain function. The gut becomes damage and the microbes in the gut become out of balance and need corrected.

If these things are not corrected a person will develop cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmunity and many other chronic illnesses. There are not test for post sespsis but test for things such as CIRS also known as SIRS can help to determine what needs addressed.

Hormone test, complete thyroid test and adrenal hormone test along with testing for CIRS can help to determine if a person has post sepsis. It can persist for years especially if the health problems that contributed to it are not addressed. A person can recover if they are diligent.

These are test for CIRS

Vassoactive intestinal peptide – this is usually low in post sepsis.

Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-b1) usually increased in post sepsis and CIRS. It is involved in cell division and cell death.

Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) controls the pigment of the skin, regulates how much cytokines can be produced. Usually low in post sepsis and CIRS. If it is low the production of inflammatory cytokines cannot be shut down.

C4a – when levels are high it indicates systemic inflammation.

Adrenocoricotropic hormone (ACTG) regulates cortisol levels. It is usually low in post sepsis and CIRS.

Anti-gliaden antibodies (AGH, IgE, IgA) – triggered in response to mold toxins, inflammation and gluten sensitivity. It can also indicate gut inflammation.

Cortisol usually low in post sepsis and CIRS.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) – Stimulates blood vessel formation. Is usually low in post sepsis and CIRS.

Leptin – helps regulate fat storage in the body. Excess inflammation causes leptin resistance which can increase levels of leptin. This can cause excess weight gain and diabetes.

Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACLA) , IgA, IgG, IgM – high in autoimmune disease. Indicates high levels of inflammation. If these are high it indicates the body is attacking healthy tissue.

Antidiuretic hormone – it is responsible for regulation of the balance of water in your body, blood pressure, and concentration of urine being produced in the kidney. Reduced levels of ADH couldn indicate dehydration or excess urinating.

Little things really mean a lot when it comes to healing. Reducing stress, or try to deal with stress in a less negative way. Family and friends can help by reducing stress as much as possible. When someone has CIRS or post sepsis it is like being on a teeter totter. It does not take much to set their health back for weeks. What little progress they have made can easily be set back and they have to start climbing the figurative ladder over again.

There are things that can indicate someone with CIRS or post sepsis is starting to back slide with their health or need to take a rest. If they start getting irritable or absent minded, confused or disoriented it means they need to rest. The adrenals and other organs in the body have become damaged and take a very long time to heal. Even positive social interactions take a lot when it comes to adrenals and physical energy. When someone who is interacting socially either in life or online and you see those things start to occur it means they need some alone time and need time to let their adrenals and energy levels recover. If they keep pushing through it they will get set back and be in a very bad way for a while. Much of the progress they made will be lost.

It is very important to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. The body requires higher amounts of certain nutrients so it is very important to get the proper nutrients the body needs. There are very specific supplements that can help the body to heal. Not all functional medicine practitioners are the same. So find one who has a proven track record of success. Do not skip meals. Fasting can be injuries when a person is dealing with CIRS or post sespsis and it can set the persons health back. Taking the wrong supplements can cause harm also so they need to be will researched and make certain they would be what is best. If in doubt don’t.

A person may recover enough to function but if the health issues are not addressed they will be prone to many types of illnesses, from allergies, food intolerance, interstitial cystitis, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, autoimmunity and even cancer. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in those with post sepsis and CIRS. It is very important to get the hormone levels straightened out, reduce the excess blood clotting, reduce the inflammation and oxidative stress. All these alone contribute to hear damage, strokes , neurological damage that can cause the heart to fail, imbalances in the minerals in the body which can cause the heart to beat irregular. Stress, to much emotional interactions, over doing it physically, and many other things can increase the risk of those things occurring. When you are healing it is very important to realize you have limits even on days you feel good and set those limit and do not pass them even if you feel well. They add up and will catch up with you and can set you back.

It is good to do things like listen to music, color in coloring books, do puzzles, do word games, read some jokes laughing is very healing. Going in nature has been found to promote healing. There are many things a person and their family can do that can promote healing. Little things mean a lot. They add up and can help someone get over the hill so they can fully recover.

Often times because those with CIRS and post sepsis do not look ill and we can put on a good front in pretending we are well they will not realize how ill the person really is. That is why if you see the person tripping a lot, getting disoriented, absent minded or irritable. They may start sitting down a lot . Their breathing may speed up. It means they need rest and most likely need to be alone for a while so their adrenal hormones can also recover. Sometimes those who are chronically ill just want to be normal again. I did it to myself often but I was fortunate and had two friends that were aware of what I was doing to myself and would make me slow down and rest and take time to myself to recover. So the person who is ill may need others to watch out for them. Those who are ill try so hard to be normal again or just to function that they will often times push themselves too much and end up setting themselves back so much it may take days or weeks to recover.

When a person has post sepsis or CIRS their immune system is barely functioning. When I was very ill people would come near me with colds or sore throats. I easily picked these infections up even when I kept my distance. This would set me back for weeks. Sometimes I would even end up bedridden for days. Even when a person who is ill has restored immune function the damage the infection causes to the persons body sets the back physically and makes them lose a lot of the work they have done to heal.

I personally struggled eating properly because most food especially GMOs are very damaging to the body. If I would eat them I would become very very ill and it would set me back. Most people do not understand this. I would have them go shopping and put very specific brands on the list but if they could not find those brands they would replace them with GMOs. I could not eat them. If I went shopping myself I would be too exhausted to cook so often times would not eat for a day which would set me back health wise. Eating three meals a day became a major struggle for me when I was ill. For some who experience type 1 diabetes type symptoms they may have to eat a bunch of small meal a day to keep their energy levels up so they do not back slide.

The main thing is working on getting the mitochondria repaired first. Then work on the immune system. If you repair the immune system before the mitochondria is functioning adequately it can make the person very ill. They need the mitochondria to be functioning to launch a proper immune response. One if the most important things about healing is addressing the excess blood clotting and neurological damage. These cause organ and brain damage that will continue until proper blood flow is restored and neurological function is corrected.

I did a blog post that explains you can heal and at the end of it , I explain how to find someone who can help you learn to heal. Allopathic medicine only treats the symptoms and if you compare the research from those treated with allopathic medicine the outcome is usually not good it usually end in death. If you look at the outcome from those who have been treated with functional medicine they have recovered and lived a productive life. Allopathic medicine only treats the symptoms, functional medicine treats the cause. I explain in much better detail in the article in this link. This link also show there are labs that will let your order test online. https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2021/05/28/how-to-get-off-the-medical-hamster-wheel/

Health problems caused by sepsis are long lasting unless an experienced functional practitioner guide the healing.

How to get off the medical hamster wheel.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

By the way many things in this list the FDA is trying to ban.

https://www.fda.gov/media/94155/download?fbclid=IwAR3_wDeLHgutMYFgWTS3EGVTwMyeL6uWzHIqiMCfQKUwvxdu_15aWCEDjqc

Modern medicine only treats the symptoms and not the cause of illness. There is no profit in treating the cause. This keeps people on a medical hamster wheel believing they cannot heal. Often times modern medicine is the very cause of a person’s illness. When you hear things like the illness is genetic, or they do not know the cause of your illness , it is most likely they caused the illness. I am going to explain the options available including some supplements that may help a person heal.

The united states has some of the highest rates of chronic illness, cancer , diabetes and autoimmunity in the world. Studies have shown up to 80% of the population in the U.S. is taking some form of medication. Those medications require other medications to deal with the side effects of the first medication. Medications do not treat the cause of illness they only treat the symptoms. The U.S. has the highest vaccine rates in the world , vaccines have proven to be very harmful to the body. Diseases such as cancer used to be rare now infants are being born with cancer. It is clear modern medicine gets people on medical hamster wheels.

Medical error is the third leading cause of death. Now combine that with the fact that almost no adverse reactions to medication get reported and only 1% of vaccine adverse reactions get reported. So the number of deaths caused by modern medicine is most likely much higher. Vaccines have caused thousands of documented deaths and that is only the ones that have been documented. It has become clear modern medicine is not making society healthy. Fortunately there is a form of medicine that can help a person to heal and not just treat the symptoms.

Functional medicine treats the cause so instead of being on medications all your life you address what is causing the illness and correct it. I did a blog post about it with information on how to find a functional medicine practitioner. Functional medicine practitioners are more aware of the flawed genetics science and has not been blinded by much of the flawed science produced by the medical industry and pharmaceutical industry. I have provided links at the bottom of the page to resources to help one learn more about functional medicine and to also guide their decisions on how they may be able to approach their healing.

https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2021/05/17/how-to-escape-the-medical-slavery/

This is not medical advice this is for educational purposes. Do not use this information yourself , find an experienced and reputable functional medicine practitioner. I am going to explain some things to demonstrate the many things that we have that can help a person to heal with the proper guidance.

Recently science has learned that it is not our genes that determine if we get ill or not but it is our exposome (internal and external environment) . The toxins we come in contact with externally effect our health, toxins in our foods especially GMO foods and foods with high farm chemical levels. Stress , vaccines, and trauma can effect our health. Because of over farming and chemicals like glyphosate being spray our food has become deficient in nutrient. The farm chemicals being sprayed are killing the microbes in the soil that help plants absorb nutrients, this makes our food even more deficient in nutrients. Many illnesses including infectious disease can be linked to nutrient deficiencies. For example those who where deficient in things such as vitamin D, zinc and selenium were much more likely to become ill from Covid. Most infections can belinked to a nutrient deficiency. Even many types of infection can be linked to chronic illness.

Science has come to discover that our microbiota throughout our body modulate our genes and metabolic pathways more then our own bodies do. This is why with a knowledgeable person who knows how to use nutrients, plants, microbes and other natural resources can help guide someone to heal from many supposed non curable illnesses such as autoimmunity or diabetes.

There are test that can narrow down the cause by showing the symptoms or even lead directly to the cause. I will now list some test that can be used to help narrow down and identify the cause of illness. If your medical practitioner does not know what these test are then I would recommend you find one that does.

OATS test – organic acids test. Organic acids are excreted in the urine and are products of metabolism. OATS test can help to determine toxins in the body, indicate nutrient deficiencies, and can even identify certain types of infection.

GI Map test – Test microbial balance in the body or microbial deficiencies. Microbial imbalance can cause excess inflammation, gout, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and could make someone prone to infection and autoimmune disease. GI Map test can also show hormone imblances and pinpoint digestive issues.

Testing for oxidative stress – Excess oxidative stress can cause the same health issues as inflammation and is very damaging to the body. It can lead to organ and brain damage. Testing for oxidative stress test levels of antioxidant enzymes and for reactive oxygen species or free radicals. The biomarkers that are checked is protective enzymes such as glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, cysteine/ cysteine sulfate ratio, glutathione peroxidase, super oxide dismutase. It looks at triglyceride levels.

Dutch test – hormones effect our sleep, metabolism, heart, cognitive abilities, blood sugar levels, mood, for women it can effect their estrous cycle. Dutch test test cortisol, cortisone, estradiol, estrone, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, melatonin levels. It also test O-OhdG levels which is a marker of oxidative stress.

Comprehensive Blood anyalysis – this checks nutrient levels, c reactive protein levels which is an inflammatory cytokine, homocysteine , full thyroid panel, antibodies test, blood glucose and insulin levels, read blood cells and iron status, urinary tract health, liver and kidney health, parathyroid status.

Testing for CIRS – anyone who is chronically ill, has autoimmunity , diabetes or heart disease most likely has CIRS. CIRS is chronic inflammatory response syndrome. The government calls it Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Because functional medicine diagnoses the whole body they are much better at identifying the cause. Allopathic medicine only identifies the symptoms and can only treat the symptoms of the illness. By identifying the cause and addressing it you can recover instead of being ill all your life.

Some things you may experience that could indicate you have CIRS. Brain fog or confusion, feeling dissociated, difficulty learning and remembering things and many other mental issues. Skin sensitivity , skin burning or tingling. Red eyes , frequent sweats, ice pick like pain, numbness in various areas of the body, coughing, congested nose, frequent tearing, metallic taste in mouth, joint pain or stiffness, muscle pain or stiffness, appetite swings, difficulty regulating body temperature, and vertigo. There are many more symptoms but these are some of the most common.

Next a person would need to be questioned to identify any possible infections or exposures to mold. Then a visual contrast sensitivity test is done. These can usually be done online for about $10 and the results would need to be shared with your practitioner. Then test need to be run.

Human leukocyte Antigen genetic test which I do not agree with because this blames the genes for not being able to detox mold toxins and science has shown most genetics science is severely flawed.

MARCoNS which is a multidrug resistant strain of staphylococcus that is usually acquired in hospitals.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide – it is involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system, digestion, glygenolysis, pituitary function, and vaginal lubrication.

Melanocyte stimulating hormone – prduced in the pituitary and hypothalamus. It is also produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet rays. It reduces inflammation. It also regulates aldosterone.

Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-B1) – Involved in tissue regeneration, immune regulation, involved in the suppression of cancer.

C4a -complement 4a test for autoimmunity and other health problems. High levels usual indicates mold infection or exposure. Some infections will also increase C4a.

Antigliadin (AGA/IgG) – this is used to test for gastrointestinal issues especially celiac.

Adrenocortitropic hormone (ACTH) cortisol – the pituitary regulates the production of cortisol. It measures adrenal and pituitary health. They are involved in the production of steroid hormones.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) this plays a role in wound healing, regulating blood pressure, ovulation, menstrual cycle, and pregnancy. Over expression has been link to arthritis, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and many types of cancer.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH/osmolity) – regulates water levels in the body. A deficiency causes excess thirst and can cause excess urination. Excess causes headache, nausea, and vomiting.

Matrix metallopeptide 9 (MM9) – also known as gelatinase elevated levels have been linked to arthritis, autoimmunity, cardiovascular disease and ischemia.

Since the science is discovering that our microbiome modulate our genes and metabolic pathways more then our bodies do they are developing new test to get better understanding of a persons health status and what microbes they may need to increase or reduce to achieve and maintain health. These test are not available yet but seem to be proving to be very effective.

One test is Microbe (MESA)- set enrichment analysis test. It measures or test host microbiome interactions.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33293650/

Microbelink is used to measure host microbe interaction and it’s role in disease.

https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/9/5/1278?fbclid=IwAR0K5nqsjo_pCfcxL75gTeOw38B0XxHLC77-GHxtoo1wZpifaFwGXETwsTI

These are just a few things that a functional medicine practitioner may use to help someone heal.

Now I will discuss some of the microbes available and how they effect our bodies:

Lactobacillus DR7 Reduces inflammation, improves cognition and memory. It upregulates tryptophan-serotonin pathways and reduces tryptophan -kyneurine pathway. This increase the hormones in the brain that helps us to deal with stress and helps promote happiness.

Many microbes help to prevent infection , for example Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium Lactis help prevent Picornavirus infection and the flu.

Most Bifidobacteria reduces risk of nasal infection. Bofidiobacteria help prevent virus infection and some Lactobacillus do especially Lactobacillus acidophilus. Many who got very ill with Covid were found to be deficient in Bifidobacteria.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus has been found to help prevent the flu.

Lactobacillus Slivarius, Lactobacillus Brevis, and Lactobacillus planatarum help prevent Herpes simplex 2 infections.

Those who had these microbes were found to be more resistant to viral infection including HIV and women who contained these were found to be resistant to vaginal infection.

Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus Planatarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus jensii, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus catenaforme, Lactobacillus delbruckiii and Lactobacillus Salivarius.

Some species of microbes reduces the risk of cancer such as some species of Bifidobacteria, butyrate producing bacteria such as Clostridium Spp. Lactobacillus crispatus helps prevent cervical cancer.

Some microbes prevent dermatitus such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus Fermentum.

Some can help reduce inflammatory bowel pain such as Bifidobacterium breve, and Bifidobacterium longhum.

Abdominal distention is when air or fluid accumulate in the abdomen causing it’s expansion (bloating), it can also cause flatulence. These microbes can help reduce the symptoms. Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus planatarum.

Short chain fatty acid producing microbes have been found to help reduce this. Lactobacillus acidophilus have been found to reduce high LDL levels.

The list of microbes goes on and on. Some have been found to prevent obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and others have been found to prevent autoimmunity. So far there are around 1500 microbes known to be a part of the microbiota in humans.

Now I will discuss nutrients.

Magnesium helps prevent high blood pressure, prevents depression, improves sleep quality. It is needed for most metabolic processes in the body. Because of the above mentioned things many are deficient in magnesium. Magnesium is needed for proper immune function. It is needed for proper mental health, and metabolic health. If deficient a person can develop restless leg syndrome, sleeplessness, NMDA receptor over activation so has been found to be low in many who have autism. If deficient in magnesium it can damage the cardiovascular system. Magnesium prevents oxalate build up in the body. Magnesium prevents excess blood clotting. Magnesium deficiency can cause glaucoma. Magnesium increases our tolerance for stress. Low magnesium and high aluminum levels can cause Parkinson’s .

Zinc improves function of the immune system, it is needed for many metabolic functions, and it prevents depression.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as cod liver oil, coconut oil, flax seed oil, and olive oil help prevent obesity, diabetes, inflammatory diseases and improves immune function.

Vitamin B12 which many are deficient in now days protects the nerves and brain, it prevents homocysteinuria and prevents mental issues.

SAMe has been found to dramatically reduce the symptoms of arthritis.

Nitric oxide is needed for proper immune function, reduces oxidative stress, needed to prevent inflammation in the gut, prevents cavities, helps to prevent cardiovascular disease. Our bacteria in our mouths convert the nitrites and nitrates in our food to nitric oxide. NO also prevents osteoporosis and increases exercise endurance. Many are deficient in nitric oxide because of the over consumption of process foods. Leafy greens and beet root are high in nitrates. Nitric oxide is also needed to maintain proper glucose and insulin levels.

Niacin is needed to fuel oxidation , especially of fatty acids. It is need to produce ATP which is the energy needed by almost all cells in the body. It is also needed for gluconiogenesis, ketogenesis, needed for proper function of the pentose phosphate pathway, it is needed for producing heme, steroid hormones, and detoxing free radicals. Low niacin levels results in DNA damage. Niacin stimulates the longevity genes, prevents heart disease and can reverse some signs of aging. It protects brain cells and helps to prevent glaucoma.

Vitamin B6 has been found to be deficient in many now days. It is needed by almost every process in the body. It prevent amyloid B formation which cause Alzheimers and organ damage. It prevents excess inflammation. It is neuro protective so protects the nerves and brain.

Vitamin D is another nutrient many are deficient in now days. It reduce the risk of cancer, decreases mortality , It is needed in many metabolic processes especially those involved in digestion. It helps prevent viral and bacteria infection. If vitamin D is low a person will experience poor bone health and will develop cavities.

The list of nutrients goes on and on and how the effect the body. Some nutrient deficiencies can cause autoimmune diseases such as lupus , or eczema. Carbohydrate deficiency can cause autoimmunity.

Now let discus supplements that have been shown to help when someone is ill.

Boswellia (frankinsense) reduces inflammation and helps restore proper immune function.

Tumeric reduces inflammation, reduces risk of autoimmunity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Panax gensing has been shown to reduce the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inflammation and oxidative stress are the main conditions that occur in the body that causes chronic illness. NAC reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. It has been shown to help fight many types of cancer. It prevents excess cell death and neurological damage. I help to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction. Help reduce symptoms of withdrawal from drug addcition. Protects the brain and helps prevent mental disorders. Helps with COPD. It has been shown to help with NAFLD. It reduces insulin resistance and symptoms of PCOS. It reduces colon polyps and increases the beneficial effects of Nitric Oxide.

Ashwangha improves cellular energy levels, it improves resistance to mental and physical stress, very potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It increases bone marrow production. It increases hemoglobin, and increases thyroid hormones.

Lemon Balm reduces pain, has potent antispasmodic effects. Effective at fighting many types of viruses including herpes simplex 2 and Covid. Reduce the severity and bleeding during the estrous cycle. Reduces anxiety and improves sleep quality. Potent anti-inflammatory. It improves blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels. It inhibits HIV.

Aloe Vera helps to reduce inflammation in the gut and reduces ulcerative colitis, It helps to reduce mast cell degranulation preventing high histamines and MCAS, it prevents excess histamine release, helps maintain normal glucose levels, high in minerals and antioxidants.

Accessible homeopathic information

Many illnesses are set off by nutrient deficiencies. Most in the industrialized world are deficient in nutrients because of over farming and the farm chemicals used chelate nutrients from the soil and they also kill the microbes that help the plants absorb nutrients. This is driving obesity because in order to get the nutrients needed many have to consume larger proportions of food. The government had to start requiring they fortify food with nutrients because of this. But some of the nutrients are man made and toxic to the body. One of them is folic acid which is toxic to the body and has been linked to dementia and cancer. They add folic acid to everything and it has been found to be in high levels in children who have autism. Folate is natural and does not build up in the body and cause damage.

If you have read article this you have taken the first steps to getting off the medical hamster wheel and learning how to truly heal and break free of the medical hamster wheel of modern medicine and take your health and the health of your family into your own hands. It is never good to entrust something valuable such as your health to the very ones who would profit from a person being ill.

How to escape the medical slavery.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

Modern medicine only treats the symptoms. This is why when they advertise their products or services they make statements like treat the symptoms, reduce the symptoms of. If they cured someone they would lose a customer. There is no money in healing someone. There is more money in getting people on medical hamster wheels and keeping them there. Once someone takes one of their products they slowly start losing their health. Vaccines have been shown to injure 100% of the time. They hide this fact by calling the illness they cause coincidence, anecdotal evidence, blame it on the persons genes, lifestyle or even stress.

Many medical practitioners do not know they are part of the problem. The pharmaceutical industry has a lot of influence over their education so they have been indoctrinated to ignore the truth and to believe they are truly helping and if you have ever look at their training on how to speak with patients they are taught to gas light and brush someones questioning modern medicine off as being crazy.

Most all of us have been indoctrinated to trust modern medicine. It is very difficult to believe they are are harming us. This makes it mentally difficult for us to break our dependency on modern medicine because we develop a close and personal relationship with the medical professionals in our lives. We should not view them as villains. Many do not realize the harm they are doing. For example only 1% of vaccine adverse reactions gets reported because most of the time the victims go to the emergency room so there illness gets misdiagnosed as being caused by something else. If they do the cause will be listed as natural or as cause unknown. Medical error has been found to be the leading cause of death in the world. Now add to the fact that most deaths from adverse reactions to vaccines and medications do not get reported it is most likely the number one cause of death in the world.

People have now been indoctrinated to believe they cannot heal. We have to got over this belief in order to escape the medical slavery.

It is not normal to be ill. It is not normal to have food allergies, cancer, diabetes, heart disease or any of the many other illnesses a person my have. It use to be rare for a person to have to take medication . Now the pharmaceutical industry has people so indoctrinated to believe they need the medications and toxic vaccines that I hear the indoctrinated making statements like “my medication” or “my vaccination”. These are toxic substances that come with many side effects and often times one of those side effects is death. It is a win wind for the medical and pharmaceutical industries because they drugs side effects cause other health problems that have to be monitor and often times other medications have to be added to offset the effects of the previous medications. They are pretty much making people slaves because so much of the peoples time and resources including money end up going to the pharmaceutical industry and medical industry, including the time of the frequent doctors or hospital visits.

Functional medicine treats the cause of illness so the body can heal. It is also known as holistic medicine. It also teaches a person how to prevent getting ill again.

Chronic illnesses, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel, cancer, heart disease, and many other illnesses used to be rare and usually occurred in the elderly. Now infants are being born with these things, if they are born healthy they heavily vaccinate them making the child prone to many types of illnesses resulting in frequent visits to the hospital. Functional medicine prevents this happening and teaches one how to prevent getting ill as much as possible.

I decided to put together a list of Holistic or functional medicine practitioners. I do not back any of these because to research their credibility, knowledge or reputation would take many many hours. There are many types of practitioners and it would be best to find one specific to your health problems. Often times you may need to see more then one type of practitioner. Please do your research before choosing who you will see to help improve your health. Since I have gotten away from allopathic medicine and I have chosen functional medicine I have not had to see a doctor in years. Hopefully the one reading this can have the same results I have had with functional medicine.

Functional medicine takes time. Self discipline and learning to change ones lifestyle and often times the lifestyle of the whole family. To escape the slavery that a person has come under from these industries one must plan their escape. Also going off many medications comes with severe side effects so should always be done with a practitioner trained in such things. I do not recommend a person just start taking supplements. It takes a broad amount of knowledge to know how to balance things in the body and supplements are usually very concentrated so is different then eating food. This is why it is best to get the knowledge from someone experienced and trained in the usage of these supplements.

I am going to try my best to list lings to as many practitioners as I can in hopes it will help people escape the medical slavery they are under. If the practitioner promotes vaccines it is a sign they have been corrupted so be leery of such ones. Often times you can find practitioners who practice functional medicine in ads in local news papers.

Some practitioners will use crazy things like muscle testing that is not backed by science. In my opinion if they use such things then I would be cautious about using their services. There are better test such as OATS test, Gi Map test, hormone test. Test that test for inflammatory markers which should include Ca3 and Ca5. If they do not include those two inflammatory markers when they test for inflammation then they are not fully knowledgeable and will be limited in their ability to help. Make sure they are knowledgeable of CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) it is also know by the U.S. government as SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) .

You do not have to be ill you can heal if you discipline yourself, it takes a lot of self discipline and note taking. It also take finding the correct practitioner for your needs that is knowledgeable.

Dangers of high uric acid levels.

Written by Lee Stevenson sorry I am a lousy editor.

This is not medical advice and should not be taken as such. I am writing this for educational purposes if you are ill find a reputable naturopath who is knowledgeable and has a good reputation I do not recommend anyone treating themselves.

This is going to discuss how cells in our bodies respond to excess uric acid. Many do not see how serious the damage to the body uric acid does. It can lead to life threatening health issues. Gout is the least of the worries when it comes to uric acid.

When cells come in contact with uric acid they leak serotonin , ATP, ADP and there is a loss of lactic acid dehdrogenase, or beta-glucuronidase. When this occurs excess cellular lysis occurs. IgG is also released and immune complexes to be released. Now we will discuss what the consequences of each of these things occurring is.

The loss of cellular ATP and ADP will cause the body to have to switch to another source of energy. It is a very inefficient way for the body to produce energy so a person will experience fatigue and most likely experience weight gain. Those who are more chronic may experience sever weight loss. This also shuts down the citric acid cycle. Oxidative phosphorylation needed for many mitochondrial process gets shut down. This reduces the ability for the body to heal. This will also effect many hormones in the body and a person most likely will develop high estrogen levels. They may show symptoms of high estrogen but estrogen levels may be normal but progesterone levels will be reduce causing the same symptoms as estrogen dominance.

There is a loss of lactate dehydrogenase or beta-glucuronidase caused by the release of aggregated IgG or immune complexes. The loss of lactate dehydrogenase cause a loss of the ability to convert lactic acid to pyruvate resulting in acidosis. The body can no longer convert NAD to NADH and back. Lactate dehydrogenase is released during cellular injury, it prevents muscle failure and fatigue. It helps maintain proper ATP levels. Which farther adds to the fatigue a person will experience. Vitamin C taken in excess can also cause a loss of lactate dehydrogenase. Beta-glucuronidase is needed for the break down of complex carbohydrates for energy. Beta-glucuronidase converts bilirubin to unconjugated so it can be reabsorbed from the intestines so this can result in liver and kidney damage. There is a loss of glycosaminglycans (GAG) which is needed to maintain the health of the bladder, gut, membrane, blood brain barrier, cartilage, joint, bones, eyes and soft tissue in the joints. Loss of beta-glucuronidase causes the blood brain barrier to leak leading to brain inflammation and possible damage, interstitial cystitis, arthritis, connective tissue loss, damage to tendons and joints. It can also lead to leaky gut or gut inflammation.

Excess IgG in the blood stream causes the bodies immune system to turn on the body. This results in autoimmunity. This can lead to hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, connective tissue destruction, joint damage, systemic inflammation.

The excess serotonin in the blood stream causes irritability, agitation, restlessness, and anxiety. This can also cause muscle tremors, muscle rigidity, and muscle spasms, rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, excess sweating. A person may experience confusion, dizziness, or become disoriented.

This can be complicated even farther if someone take nicotinamide for the fatigue because it increases serotonin in the body.

The increased lysis caused by the uric acid causes the intracellular contents to leak into the blood stream, these are potassium, phosphate, and nucleic acids to leak into the blood stream. This results in hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperuricemia because this also increases uric acid levels, and acut kidney injury. Uric acid crystals and calcium phosphate crystals occur which are damaging to the body especially the renal system. This can lead to vaginosis and vulvadynia and cause interstitial cystitis.

Hypercalcemia (excess calcium in the blood) blocks sodium channels and inhibits depolarization, this can cause slower reflexes and muscle weakness, cardiac arythmias, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, kidney impairment, increased urination especially at night and increased thirst.

Hyperphosphatemia (excess phosphorous in the blood) can cause calcium depositsin the soft tissue, brain, lungs, eyes, arteries, muscles, and organs. This can result in organ failure. When it occurs in the muscles they become tender and lose flexibility. This can also result in damage to the heart valves.

Hyperuricemia can be caused by infection, gut inflammation , high glyphosate levels, eating processed foods which cause systemic inflammation, eating to many foods high in biogenic amines, issues in removing uric acid from the body, leaky gut which most do not realize they have. This can also result from gut dysbiosis especially if a person has to many microbes involved in protein proteolysis. Because the damage uric acid causes to the cells also increases uric acid levels it is a very difficult positive feedback loop to break. Uric acid is excreted in both the urine and intestinal tract. If we have inflammation in the gut or leaky gut the body cannot reduce the uric acid quickly enough. Insulin overload, iron toxicity can also increase uric acid levels. This is why it is very important to do our best to get uric acid levels down because things can rapidly decline and the higher levels get the harder the cycle is to break. Lithium helps break down the uric acid. Alkalizing the urine also helps to reduce uric acid levels. If there is an infection it must be addressed. There are many metabolic issues that can also cause high uric acid levels.

Why those with Lyme disease get so ill.

I am writing this to show why people get so ill with Lyme disease. Lyme infection rarely occurs on it’s own. Most insects that transmit Lyme carry other infectious diseases. Lyme disables the immune system making it difficult to clear out any type of infection. Lyme also has many ways of evading the immune system. It can take a variety of forms such as cyst or biofilm to protect itself from the immune system and antibiotics. Lyme disease has developed strategies to avoid almost all the things used by our immune system to fight infection including hydrogen peroxide. Lyme even infects the lymph’s and disables their ability to detect infection. Lyme has more methods of evading the immune system then the virus that causes HIV. Most who have Lyme disease experience Bell’s Palsy. This is where one side of the face become paralyzed and drops. It sometimes takes months to heal.

This is a good article that gives a small summary of just some of the things Lyme can do.

BORRELIA BACTERIA

Something to take note of the test for Lyme disease has a very high failure rate at detecting it. Not only that there are a variety of species of Borrelia and as far as I know the test only test for one so if a person has any of the other species of Lyme disease the test will not detect it. Also those infected with Lyme are rarely test for the coinfections which are almost always present when the infection occurs.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6963229/

Lyme causes systemic inflammation. Systemic inflammation also inhibits the immune system and can cause the body to turn on itself. Lyme can cause a variety of symptoms such as joint swelling, neurological issues, brain damage, myocarditis, thrombosis, organ failures and many other health issues. The systemic inflammation caused by Lyme disease damages the heart in many ways which reduces it’s ability to supply blood to the body. This is why often times those with Lyme will experience numbness in hands and feet. When left untreated death can occur. This is so common with Lyme disease that if a person experiences Bell’s Palsy then they should find a medical professional to treat them that is very knowledgeable about Lyme disease and the coinfections that occur with it. Sudden temperature changes often times can set Bell’s Palsy off or make it worse.

Lyme can damage the joints in a variety of ways. Lyme can cause high ammonia levels which lead to metabolic issues which causes soft tissue to break down in the body. Lyme can cause synovial fluid to build up in the joints and could cause them to eventually start leaking. Lyme can also break down the soft tissue in the joints and body causing fluids to leak into surrounding areas which causes joint swelling and arthritis. Lyme cause high urease levels which can lead to gout. Some suffer from more then one of those. Lyme also causes bone loss in some.

Lyme disease can cause autoimmunity . A person with Lyme can experience autoimmune issues that cause them to develop many food intolerances, they could develop things such as Lupus, Psoriasis or interstitial cystitis among many other autoimmune related illnesses.

Lyme damages the heart and cardiovascular system in a variety of ways. Many Lyme sufferers are learning from experience that many medical professionals and cardiologist do not know how to identify the cardiac issues caused by Lyme. Sad when those who have become ill learn to read test better then those who are supposed to know how to interpret the results of test but experience has taught many of us that they rarely know how to interpret the results of test accurately. Lyme can cause damage to the blood vessels and cause excess blood clotting. The excess blood clotting if not addressed can lead to stroke, heart failure and death. Many push themselves too hard when they start feeling better and will set themselves back in their healing for weak. I myself made this mistake many times before I learn to only do a certain amount and to slowly increase the stressors in life whether physical or emotional because emotional stress can often times take more of a toll on the heart then physical stress.

Lyme can cause brain damage and other neurological damage. My experience has shown my that people are very resilient. I have seen many maintain their composure even though the Lyme was effecting their brains especially their memory they still seem to maintain their composure and not react to the variety of emotions that occur while they are very ill. Not only that but Lyme causes pain beyond anything a person can imagine. I have learned this from personal experience and that takes it toll on the body by draining all our energy and it often times takes a lot of mental resources to deal with the pain a person with Lyme is experiencing.

Most have Lyme disease and do not know it. A large number of those suffering from interstitial cystitis go many years having Lyme disease and never get diagnosed because of the high failure rate of the test at detecting Lyme. Because Lyme takes so many forms and has many ways to stealth itself from the immune system the body may not have an immune response to the spirochete so a person can go for years with Lyme disease and the test will not detect it. Many who have lyme disease develop liver , kidney , bladder , gall bladder and many other health issues. Most I know who had Lyme disease found urinating was very painful.

Lyme disease also alters B cells status which effects the gut and can cause gut dysbiosis leading to leaky gut, inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhea or constipation. This article summarizes what can happen to the gut when you have Lyme the things that can occur are complex and would take a whole separate article to discuss. The second article has links to research showing how Lyme effects the gut.

Lyme causes autoimmunity through molecular mimicry. It mimics proteins in the body. If the body detects that the protein is actually an infection then it will start attacking it. Because it is similar to proteins that are in the body it causes many types of autoimmunity from mast cell activation syndrome, to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Many infections can cause autoimmunity if systemic inflammation from a toxin or a drug has already occurred. Once this occurs it creates a positive feed back loop that is very difficult to break. These are the symptoms and illnesses that Lyme autoimmunity can cause. Myocarditis, thrombosis, erythema migrans, lyphocytoma, plexis nueritis, cranial nueritis, Bell’s Palsy, endotoxemia, hyperammonemia, proteinuria, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis and other renal diseases, Bannswoarth’s syndrome, muscular dystrophy, ALS, fibromyalgia, arthritis, dissassociative disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, disease that are caused by lesions in the body including Parkinson’s , cancer, myositis, acrodermatitis and many other skin disorders including Lupus, loss of fluids from the joints causing them to leak into the surrounding areas, depression, irritability, mental confusion, memory loss, polyneuropathy encephlomyelitis, memory deficit disorder, somnolence (excessive sleeping), adrenal fatigue, some will go the other way and will have difficulty sleeping, I alternated between somnolence and insomnia, anorexia, flu like symptoms that will not go away, night blindness, sensitivity to light which causes a person to be easily blinded by light, and nerve palsy. These are the symptoms and health issues I have seen occur the most though Lyme causes many other health issues.

The severe headaches caused by Lyme can be caused by many things. Lyme can enter the brain and cause meningitis, Lyme causes high ammonia levels which damages the blood brain barrier leaving excess glutamate enter the brain which can effect the NMDA and leaving toxins enter the brain that would not normally enter the brain. The endotoxins from Lyme itself can cause the blood brain barrier to become porous leaving it enter the brain causing brain inflammation and effecting many receptors.

Why those who are chronically ill isolate themselves.

This is not medical advice if you are ill seek medical attention. Do not treat yourself. I am writing this for educational and information purposed.

Written by Lee Stevenson sorry I am a lousy editor.

Before I get into this I do want to explain what occurs is not your fault and those involved are not completely guilty. In our desire to live a normal life we may hide how sick we truly are. When we do finally start realizing how sick we are those around us will offer very little support or help because we look like we are not ill so they assume that our illness is mostly psychological. They will often times say and do hurtful things that add to our stress and can even make our illness worse. We tend to blame ourselves but for the most part it was not our fault that we became ill. The body is very resilient and has many mechanisms that will compensate for things they are not functioning correctly but it reaches a point that it can no longer compensate and then a person becomes chronically ill. It usually take correcting many things in order for the body to get the upper hand and start healing but the demands made by society now days makes it very difficult to heal. Adrenal hormones are usually highest in the morning so symptoms most likely will be worse in the morning. This is also why nausea that comes with it is often times worse in the morning.

Healing from chronic illness requires an anti-inflammatory diet and once that will reduce oxidative stress. It will also require eating more whole foods and for many they may have to cut back on meat consumption until they heal.

When a person is chronically ill they will isolate themselves. This comes with a feeling of guilt because they may be neglecting responsibilities or even family. This is actually a protective mechanism to prevent increased damage to the brain, heart and even the organs in the body. This condition is known as anhedonia. The brain will shut most emotion off in order to protect the Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal axis. The HPA also regulates the limbic system. When the limbic system become affected this starts affecting the heart and can result in death. This occurs from sepsis which can be caused by physical injury, infection, stress, betrayal from someone we love, loss of someone we love, trauma, toxins, vaccine injury and many drugs can cause it. The cause of this is because when a person is chronically ill their bodies get stuck in a fight or flight mode. If the issues causing the illness are not correct the HPA and limbic system can become damaged which can be life threatening because they regulate the heart and blood pressure. This also effects a person glucose levels so they will frequently have bought of low glucose levels which will cause nausea, flushing and weakness.

Because the HPA and limbic system function together healing the HPA will help to heal the limbic system.

When this occurs and the brain is still calling for adrenal hormone because the body is still in a state of injury it will start effecting the person emotions. They will start having mood swings, they will start taking more risk in order to try and increase adrenaline. Often times there will be severe muscle twitching or muscle spams or severed charlie horses.

The brain disconnects emotion to prevent further stimulation to the HPA. I found it strange because I experienced this but I still felt the love for others. So I felt guilty I was not there emotionally for them but when I tried I could feel it effecting my health. When the HPA axis is over expressed it increases expression of the limbic system which damages the heart . This causes a loss in blood flow to the extremities and a person will start experiencing ankle swelling, liver and kidney problems which can cause swelling in the face. Nerve damage will occur because the heart is beating irregular so the hands and feet and even some organs are not getting the blood they need.

The limbic system is regulated by the HPA axis. So when they HPA axis is affected so is the limbic system. Symptoms of limbic dysfunction are chronic fatigue, myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatiogue the overwhelming desire to sleep), extreme neurological sensitivity, or heightened sensitivity to pain, chemical and mold sensitivity, a variety of chronic pain, anxiety like attack which will cause rapid breathing, systemic inflammation and POTS. Loss of motivation, impaired short term memory and when it gets more severe loss of long term memories, sever mood swings, it also effects our blood pressure, endocrine system and thyroid hormones. Digestion can be severely affected for each it is affected differently but often times it results in frequent constipation and malabsorption of nutrients especially vitamin B12 and the oil soluble vitamins like D, E and K.

I kept thinking if I just push through this it will get better and I would try to force myself to interact with others and to do things I felt I needed to do like mowing the grass or clearing the driveway of snow. This would result in me having dizzy spells for days because of the damage that had occurred to my heart.

Sometimes it would cause me to get so sleepy that I could not stay awake and I would sleep for days. If I fought the sleep my health would rapidly decline and I would get to the point that I couldn’t even get out of bed to eat or get a glass of water I would have to crawl to get them.

Because the illness cannot be seen many would make unreasonable demands on me. I tried to tell them how ill I was and they would brush it off and even say mean things to me like “you need to suck it up and be a man” or “you need to stop being so lazy”. The emotional hurt that put on me contributed even more to my being ill because the emotional pain added to the stress on the HPA so I would become even sicker.

The links to the studies below show the things that occur when a person is chronically ill. This is the symptoms of someone who’s HPA axis and limbic system has been pushed to the point that it start severely effecting their health and possibly end in death if not treated and not given enough rest.

The first symptoms a person is near HPA and limbic collapse is they will be extremely wired but also be very tired.

Severe muscle fatigue or muscle aches, severe sleepiness and difficulty waking, dizzy spells especially when a person goes from resting to standing. These are not your normal dizzy spells that occur when standing to quickly but they will last for a very long time. A person may lose their libido, gain weight and have hair loss. There may be nausea in later stages because it takes a lot of energy and even for the heart to digest food. When this happened to me I could no longer eat solid food I had to puree it and sometimes that was too much and I could only drink juice. A person may have mood swings from trying to maintain a normal life while their body is trying to tell them to rest. It also causes increased brain swelling adding to the HPA and limbic system dysfunction. Constantly low body tempeture is a sign the HPA has been damaged this will also effect hormone levels and thyroids.

When the limbic system gets impaired a person will first start to experience short term memory loss. When it gets more severe they will start losing long term memory. Mine got so bad I could not remember my name or where I lived sometimes. Symptoms that the HPA is over activated are anxiety, mood swings and severe depression and irritability.

When a person is chronically ill the fight or flight mode their bodies are stuck in will constrict blood vessels and increase heart rate in order to prepare the body for what it perceives is a threat. If the health issues are not correct the heart will become damaged and then there is a loss of proper blood flow. If a person reaches this stage of illness their body and brain starts going into survival mode. When the chronic illness is severe the body knows things are starting to fail. It will induce panic and rapid breathing will occur. In later stages when things get very severe seizures will occur. Because this effects the body tempeture a person will become very sensitive to cold.

Sadly even though man studies show it is not a state of mental illness but a part of their chronic illness society and modern medicine list it as a mental illness and tries to treat it with drugs often times making the chronic illness worse. Family will try to push a person suffering from this into living a normal life or offer very little help which usually contributes more to their illness.

When a person has experienced anhedonia and recovered they can be easily set back and become ill again. It takes the HPA axis and limbic system months and even years to heal. The problem I had is as soon as I felt well again I would start to act like life was normal and would set myself back.

To recover from anhedonia you must address the cause.

If a person has experienced a traumatic event loss of a loved one or betrayal by a loved one they will need to learn to stop dwelling on it and get past it and stop letting it effect them emotionally because that translates over to physical illness. If a person dwell on the loss of a loved one or a traumatic event it will keep the body in a state of fight or flight and the HPA and limbic system will continue to decline.

If the illness is caused by physical illness then the person will need to address the cause or causes because often times it is caused by many things coming together whether it is trauma, along with vaccine injury or a number of other things that can combine to cause the HPA and limbic system to become damaged. There are many forms of chronic illness that can lead to this condition but the biggest causes now days is tick born illness or other infectious diseases because vaccines and GMO foods have weakened many people immune system along with the many medication they are pushing now days especially fluoroquinolones.

This is not something a person can recover from over night. I for the most part have healed but stress still sets me back. I can usually handle physical exertion with no problem until a stressful event has occurred. When this occurs it sets me back physically because it takes the brain months and sometimes even years to heal . Since the HPA and limbic system are located in the brain they do not heal as quickly as the rest of the body. So in order to heal on top of addressing the health issues we need to do our best to avoid stressful situations. We need to learn to view things more positively and get over things that have stressed us much more quickly. Sometimes we may need to talk to a psychiatrist to help us resolve things from our past including the trauma, neglect and out right cold heartedness we experience from those we love.

I will try to explain what is happening.

If we do not correct our HPA axis and limbic system our hormones cannot return to normal because progesterone gets shunted to make adrenal hormones. This is not as noticeable in men but in woman they can develop PCOS or some other hormonal problems. If this is not corrected a person could develop interstitial cystitis. The hormonal problems caused by HPA over activation is a double edged sword. We may be very tired and very fatigued but may struggle to sleep or wake through the night often. We will develop severe night sweats. We may experience bloating in the gut. Women will experience issues with menstruation and may grow excess facial hair. Men and women can experience hot flashes. This comes from the hormonal imbalance and the low glucose levels. Some may experience weight gain, lowered libido and sugar cravings. Processed sugar increases HPA activity so would make the symptoms worse. There will be migraines or severe headaches.

If the upregulation of the HPA and limbic system continues the adrenals and limbic system becomes severely damaged causing them to function improperly the body will lose it’s ability to produce adrenal hormone. This is called NeuroEndometabolic stress response (NEM). This puts the adrenals at the forefront of this anti-stress battle. The body puts adrenal function ahead of other things because it is needed to maintain proper function of the cardiovascular system if it fails then we could die. This is why the body starts shunting progesterone and using it to produce adrenal hormones when all other sources to produce adrenal hormones have been depleted it is one of the bodies last ditch efforts to survive. Many medical professionals will throw substitute hormones at someone which often times mask the symptoms while making the person sicker. When it has reached this point then the recovery process will most likely take years instead of months. Progesterone is needed to protect the body from the oxidative stress causing properties of estrogen so when it becomes depleted oxidative stress increase adding to the body be in a state of fight or flight mode. The liver and kidney become congested and their function becomes inhibited causing them to swell and they will start to develop fibrous tissue farther decreasing their function. Until the adrenal issues and the issues causing them to occur are addressed this process will continue to occur until there is renal failure. This is why when a person is experiencing HPA dysfunction they will have pain in the lower back on their side. Over consumption of B vitamins can also cause that type of pain because the body can store B vitamins and over consumption of certain ones can start to damage the liver and kidney. If progesterone is added when this is occurring it will speed up the rate the renal system is being damaged. In males the low progesterone levels cause a loss of sperm production. Low progesterone levels causes heart arrhythmia, POTS which can result in stroke or heart failure. Progesterone is needed for connective tissue repair in the body. When levels are low the gut can become damaged, the joints can become damaged and even start to leak, when very severe the bladder will get damaged.

There is a chemical released called phoenixin and reducing it can help but we still need to address the causes of the HPA and limbic system dysfunction. Symptoms of high phoenixin levels are poor memory or memory loss, a lack of showing emotions, a person may start seeking adventure or start doing dangerous things in an attempt to increase adrenal hormone levels, if phoenixin levels get to high a person will lose their ability to think logically. If phoenixin levels remain high for an extended period of time a person will experience severe itchiness in the skin. A person with high phoenixin level will be prone to retaining fluids especially in the face and ankles. Phoenixin causes the secretion of many hormones which can farther contribute to the hormone imbalance. It also stimulates the HPA axis. To reduce it we must reduce inflammation, if we have leaky gut or gut dysbiosis we must correct it. If we have tick born illness or mycoplasma infection or some other infection it has to be addressed in order for the HPA and limbic systems to heal. Avoiding processed foods and foods that are not organic is a must because glyphosate works synergistically with the BT Toxins in GMOs and cause chronic illness. Phoenixion can cause a persons body temperature to remain lower then normal. Stress, physical trauma need to be avoided as much as possible in order to reduce phoenixin levels. Phoenixin also causes nerves to become much more sensitive and the pain can cause increased HPA and limbic activity. High phoenixin levels increase the markers found in interstitial cystitis so it will cause interstitial cystitis to become much worse. Phoenixin causes high insulin levels and low glucose levels it causes insulin resistance. Phoenixin causes oxidative stress so antioxidants are a must. It inhibits the NRF2 pathways so it may be necessary to take an NRF2 activator in order to heal. Remember balance is the goal we need some oxidative stress and inflammation to maintain our health and to protect the body from cancer. Palm oil helps to reduce phoenixin.

We need to heal the whole body including our way of handling stress because it cannot be avoided now days. I will attempt to explain what happens to the adrenals before I get into healing them. The constant HPA up-regulation will eventually wear the HPA and limbic systems down. They will no longer be able to keep up. Adrenal hormones are needed when we exert ourselves, when we deal with stressful situations. Because our adrenals and limbic system is damaged they will not be able to keep up. When this occurs heart failure can occur if we try and push ourselves beyond what our bodies are capable when it has reached such a point. I have had many friends while healing who pushed themselves too hard because they thought they were well and they either severely set themselves back or even died. So as we are healing we need to pay extra attention to our bodies and know when we need to take a break from either stress or physical activity.

It is very very important to stay hydrated because dehydration adds to the adrenal fatigue because it an put the body in a state of fight or flight mode also. Electrolytes are also very important to support the HPA axis. A good way to restore electrolytes is to take some water and add lemon, 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar (be cautious get aluminum free, aluminum damages the HPA axis and the limbic system), also add organic raw honey which has many healing properties. Cholesterol is needed to produce all hormones in the body especially adrenal hormones. Deficiencies in B vitamins damages the HPA and limbic systems. This is very common now because processed foods are low in B vitamins and the farm chemicals used on our crops causes them to be deficient in B vitamins. Adding to the problem is the fact that much of the farm land has been over farmed adding to the nutrient deficiencies. It is best to buy organic and buy from local farms when possible. Magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, chromium, vanadium are needed for HPA and limbic system health. If you take too much zinc , iron, copper , chromium , vanadium it will have the opposite effect and start damaging the HPA axis. Excess iron can increase oxidative stress. Vitamin C is needed in high amounts when the trying to heal. Taking too much vitamin C can cause oxalates to form and can destroy red blood cells so if you take vitamin C do so wisely. I found liposomal was the one I reacted to the least. I had interstitial cystitis and reacted severely to anything that contained vitamin C. Once my adrenals started to heal my interstitial cystitis started to heal though I had to heal many other health problems to stop the damage that was occurring. The sesquiterpines found in myrrh and frankincense have been found to work very well for increasing oxygen levels around the receptor sites involved in the HPA and limbic systems which speeds up the healing time. Omega 3 fatty acids have been found to speed up the recovery of the HPA axis. I found alternating the types of Omega 3 was much more effective. Some may react to coconut oil because it kills many types of pathogens including mycoplasma. The endotoxins released will add to the body being in fight or flight mode so when a person start killing infection they should do so slowly and strengthen the body and detox systems before doing so. Avoid processed sugars , because the upregulated HPA axis will cause low glucose levels a person may crave sugar and salt. Sugar will add to the HPA dysfunction because it causes systemic low grade inflammation which also puts the body in a state of fight or flight mode. We need complex carbohydrate like those found in roots , inulin which is non digestable fiber,grains, seeds, legumes, beans, vegetables and nuts. Those with leaky gut may have to avoid things that contain lectins until there gut is healed. We need lectins but when the gut is too porous the lectins will enter our blood stream and will cause systemic inflammation. This also can cause immune dysfunction which also causes the body to get stuck in fight or flight mode. Things that contain the highest level of lectins is milk, wheat, tomatoes and beans. The complex carbohydrates help keep the blood glucose levels stable because when they are low the body will also go into fight or flight mode. The most important B vitamins are B6 and B12. Avoiding inflammatory foods like Omega 6 fatty acids is very important.

The body goes into fight or flight mode during infection for many reasons. Often times it causes systemic low grade inflammation and oxidative stress which causes the body to go into fight or flight mode.

Our stomachs contain microbes called our microbiome. Those microbes modulate our genes and health. A deficiency in one microbe can cause many health issues. Those microbes consist of phages, viruses, bacteria, fungus and even amoeba. Most in the industrialized nations are more prone to chronic illness because the toxins, medication, farm chemicals in foods, stress, vaccinations altering the immune system leads to an imbalance in gut microbes, processed foods, consumption of too much of one specific type of food instead of getting a variety causes a loss of many of the microbes in our guts needed to maintain a healthy immune system, prevent inflammation , regulate our glucose levels and protect us from infection. Part of the reason infectious disease is rampant is because many species of microbes are now extinct in those who live in the industrialize world. For those who do not have a way to replace those microbes they have to permanently adjust their diets to compensate for the microbes that are missing which only partially addresses the health issues caused by a lack of certain microbes. It is very difficult to get those microbes from our environment now because the chemicals and toxins being put in our soils have killed many of the beneficial microbes in the soil which is how many of our microbes that maintain our health are acquired. We also inherit our microbes from our parents. The fathers microbe heavily influence the makeup of the mothers so the fathers microbes can effect the health of the whole family. Achieving health should involve the whole family restoring microbial balance in their gut. If we have an overgrowth of certain microbes or a deficiency in some it can cause systemic inflammation, autoimmune disease, nutrient deficiencies because most of our vitamins are produced by our microbiome and we only get some our our vitamins from food. Even biotin is created by our gut microbes. All of these can lead to the body being stuck in fight or flight mode which will cause HPA and limbic dysfunction. Now add to the fact that all this can make the gut more porous which will cause food particles that would not normally enter the blood stream to enter our bodies. This causes a person to start developing a variety food intolerance and allergies. The regulation in the immune system will also cause the HPA axis to become dysfunctional. As this goes on and our environment becomes more toxic chronic illness is becoming more and more rampant. In the U.S. 80% of the population is said to be on a medication of some type. The sad part of that many studies have shown that up to 80% of the benefits of medications are based on the noocebo effect . In other words because the person has changed their negative state of mind based on their believe the medication is healing them they start healing showing our state of mind is a very part of the healing process. The medications all come with side effects that are very damaging to the body so they end up with a new set of health problems after taking the medications , especially antibiotics which dramatically alter our microbiome. If a person does not heal their gut they will be fighting a losing battle and the gut is always effected during chronic illness.

Things that can help restore the HPA and limbic health.

There are herbs that can help restore health of the HPA and limbic system once the causes are addressed these can also be taken as a person is addressing those issues to help reduce the damage. For example grape seed extract improves blood flow reduce inflammation and histamines which will help reduce the bodies need to be in a fight or flight mode to survive. There are adaptogenic herbs that help support adrenal function while reducing stress hormones these are called adaptogenic herbs. Some of these are ashwangha, rhodiola, bupleurum, rhemannia, mace root and kudzu root. Herbs that relax also help to reduce stress hormones, some of them are lemon balm, peony, rooibos, and mugwort.

Exercise in moderation helps to improve HPA and limbic health but be very aware of your limitations because if you over do it you can set yourself back not just for days but for weeks. Even someone healthy could damage their HPA axis if they exercise excessively. Excess exercise can cause progesterone levels to decrease.

Studies have shown that meditating on positive things and happy things can improve HPA health. I meditated on things I liked doing or even on just laying in a field with flowers. Taking the time to enjoy nature and looking at the stars has been shown to improve HPA health.

Positive social interaction has been shown to be good for HPA axis once our adrenal health is well enough we can interact with others. If we attempt to do this before we have recovered enough it could actually do the opposite and increase the time needed to recover. Negative interactions have been shown to have a dramatic effect on the HPA axis. When I say negative interactions I am speaking of those that involve yelling, fighting, all out bad behavior that could negative effect others. Even gossip has been shown to have a negative effect on the HPA axis. I never listened to gossip so I was protected by this one because I always thought if they are saying that about them when they are not around what are they saying about me when I am not around?

We have to remove ourselves from stressful situation that we can remove ourselves from. For example I never liked arguing so if a person started yelling and arguing I would not discuss things with them until they started being respectful and listening to me as well as I listen to the. The bible says “be quick to listen and slow to speak”. I was also protected by the stress of this because I would rarely engage in someone who behaved this way until they started behaving rationally. I used bible principles in guiding me on who I should and should not associate with , this meant some family who caused me stress I had to start cutting out of my life in a biblical way. Though the bible may consider them a bad association we still have familial obligations so we cannot leave them go without something to wear, eat or drink. If they were ill we would still be required to help them. But we would do so in a way we protect ourselves from the stress their life styles could cause us.

Things that cause us stress that are not necessary could be cut down. I had too many belongings, this was very stressful for me. I had to worry about them being stolen. I had to worry about the money to maintain them. I always had a car and a truck. I used to own my own property and it was paid off. I lost that because I could not afford to pay the taxes when I got ill. Reducing my belongings dramatically reduced my stress. Though I really got sad when I lost my house no longer having the responsibility of maintaining it reduced the physical and emotional burden it had been causing which shortened the time it took too heal my HPA axis. I am not saying a person should get rid of their belonging but I am saying to not let yourself get consumed in acquiring them because in the long run it could take it’s toll on your health by having a negative impact on your HPA axis. I have watched many wealthy people die unhappy only to have their wealth go to someone who did not work hard to build it the wealth so they squandered it. This is not always the case but I have seen it happen many times. Since I have gotten ill I am much more aware of what brings me true happiness. I have learned enjoying the simple things in life bring me much more happiness then money and my belongings have. Studies have shown that focusing on the success we have and not on the success we do not have improves brain and HPA health. Studies have also shown if we dwell on past failures then it will have a negative impact on the health of our brains. So we need to keep looking forward and view those mistakes or failures as lessons and move on. Dwelling on them will only hold us back anyways because if we continue to look back how can we move forward?

Participating in bible study and prayer has been shown to improve over mental health and HPA health. Doing good things for others has been shown to improve HPA function. Learning not to hate and not to hold grudges but learning to forgive protects the HPA axis from the negative hormones produced by those. Acts of kindness produce hormones that have been shown to improve HPA and Limbic health.

There is stress that cannot be avoided. We need to do our best to train our minds not to react to harshly to it and try our best to maintain balance and composure so that our adrenal levels do not climb. We have to learn to let things go we can do nothing about and not dwell on the. How we react to stressful things also can effect our HPA and limbic systems negatively. For example often times people will view unexpected events or obstacles as a negative thing. I have retrained my mind to view them as challenges that will build my mental endurance, wisdom and knowledge. I have found this prevents me from getting over excited about things that occur that I cannot control. Now as for the negative emotional things that occur I am still working on this and it still has a dramatic effect on my HPA and limbic system. For example I do not deal well with being falsely accused of something and it causes my adrenal hormones to go through the roof. I have been working very hard to learn to deal with this because when it occurs it sets me back pretty far.

The brain also needs to be repaired. The brain cells can restructure themselves and can even grow new cells. When we learn new things this stimulate new brain cell growth and restructuring. This is called neural plasticity. The more we use our brains the faster it becomes at doing this. This can also improve HPA and limbic health since they are a part of the brain. This is why developing new hobbies or learning new skills can improve limbic health. Hobbies and learning new skills have also been shown to help people recover from trauma much more quickly. Hobbies or skills that require the use of the hands have been shown to dramatically improve brain health. Playing games including card games improves brain and HPA health. Getting workbooks that involves answering questions or doing word puzzles improves brain health.

Self-acceptance or self love is very important. I struggle with this one but I have been working on it. We need to learn to do acts of kindness towards ourselves. I have lived my life always being needed by others and never had time to focus on myself. I either forgot how to love myself or never knew how until some friends pointed out I did not do acts of kindness towards myself and had difficulty excepting when others did acts of kindness towards me. Another part of self-acceptance is not comparing our self image of who we are or our body image to others. We need to learn to be happy with our bodies the way they are. Studies have shown that dwelling on body image in a negative way has a dramatic negative impact on the health of the brain , HPA, and limbic system. We need to accept our bodies for the way they are. Many of us may struggle with this, I am one of them because I used to be very muscular and I also got damage by fluorquinolone drugs which caused me to lose some of my teeth and it also cause bone loss which made my teeth become crooked. I am trying to to dwell on those things because I can feel it effecting my health. I am trying to apply what friend has stated to me “we need to stop worrying about those things because we have much bigger fish to fry” . In other words we need to focus on maintaining our health and for many of us trying to make a living while recovering from chronic illness because most forms of chronic illness the government will not give a person disability for.

Quinolinic acid

Quionolinic acid is very damaging to the body, brain and neurological system. It also causes the body to get stuck in fight or flight made through it’s effects on the NMDA receptors . It up-regulates them this can lead to many mental health issues, severe headaches, this causes a person to be sensitive to light glare, very sensitive to sound, difficulty staying focused. The over stimulation of the NMDA receptor cause the HPA and limbic system to be over stimulated. If the high quinolinic acid levels are not corrected it can lead to severe neurological damage, Alzheimer’s , schiszophrenia, and dementia. A person could also develop Bell’s Palsy like symptoms. This can also happen when the HPA has been stuck in a state of fight or flight.

Quinolinic acid is a metabolite of tryptophan. Quionolinic acid is formed during the bodies production of niacin which is the final step in the kynurenine pathway which is needed to produce energy for our cells. When this process has become disrupted by oxidative stress, toxins, systemic inflammation, emotional stress or trauma, infection, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, vaccine injury, aluminum build up in the brain and body, heavy metal, autoimmunity, high histamine which can also increase HPA axis over activation, eating too many processed foods especially ones that contain glyphosate and drug injury usually from fluroquinolone drugs.

When quinolinic acid excites the NMDA receptor glutamate increaes , this inhibits the reuptake of glutamate into the cells. This also inhibits the ability to create GABA . The excess glutamate also stimulates the NMDA receptor causing increased activity. This causes even more glutamate to be released. This starts causing brain inflammation, neurological damage and can damage the blood brain barrier. If it become severe enough the brain may start leaking fluid bay the base of the skull and it may also leak out through the nasal passages. This causes sever swelling at the back of the neck and severe pain. When the quinolinic acid levels are high a person will experience severe headache that may make it feel like their head is going to split open. The body has another way to produce quinolinic acid and it is effected by the same things kynurenine pathway is. This adds even more to the quinolinic acid being produced. The alternative pathway is not found in the brain but with the blood brain barrier now leaking the quinolinic acid produced by the 3-HAO pathway can now enter the brain also increasing quinolone levels even farther. Those who have Lyme disease almost always have high quinolone levels because it creates the perfect storm needed to cause this to occur. The destruction of nerve cells that occurs causes iron to be released. The increased quinolinic acid production even more. Since the 3-HAO pathway is producing energy for the rest of the body which covers a much broader area it produces quinolinic acid at 80 times the rate that they kynurenine pathway does. This farther adds to the inflammation and oxidative stress causing a positive feedback loop that can be very difficult to break.

Since the blood brain barrier has been compromised it let many things enter the brain that would not normally be able to enter the brain including infectious agents, and toxins. This adds even more to the brain inflammation and damage.

Metabolic issues and infection that cause high ammonia levels or acidosis can also cause the blood brain barrier to become porous setting of a cycle that would cause quinolinic acid levels to become very elevated. Another thing that increases quinolinic acid is brain injury.

Oddly depriving oneself of tryptophan can actually cause the quinolinic acid to increase. A person with high quinolinic acid levels will usually be very sensitive to the consumption of gluatamate, glutamine and MSG.

These are some things that will help reduce quinolinic acid levels. Antioxidants especially selenium helps to reduce quinolinic acid, P5P the bioavailable form of B6 help reduce quinolinic acid. Vitamin B2 is also needed. A ketogenic diet with complex carbohydrates reduces quinolinic acid and increases kynurenic acid production which is very healing. Certain proteins will inhibit the formation of kynurenic acid. These would be glutamine, glutamate , alanine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, aspartate, leucine, methionine and isoleucine. A person with high quinolinic acid levels may be sensitive to those proteins because of the inhibition of the kynurenic acid. This does not mean that a person should avoid protein but they should avoid consuming those ones in large amounts. When all nutrients needed for the conversion of tryptophan consuming it will increase kynurenic acid.

A-lactalbumin increases tryptophan , and serrotonin synthesis and release in the brain.

Retraining the limbic system.

After being chronically ill for an extended period of time the limbic system needs to be retrained in order to get it out of the fight or flight stage it is stuck in. Things that heal the brain also heal the limbic system. As mentioned earlier the brain can produce new cells and restructure old ones. For example it has been found if a person acquires a new job and their old skills are no longer needed but they are learning new skills the brain will grow new cells and restructure old ones that it is no longer using for the old job and old skill to accommodate for the new skill and memory needed. This also stimulates healing throughout the brain. By retraining the brain we are getting the brain to rewire the neuronal pathways in the brain that are associated with the maladapted stress response.

Studies have shown that past trauma can cause negative epigenetic changes so we need to learn to think positively. Not only that but the trauma our parents experienced can cause negative epigenetic changes that can be passed to the children. Those who have had these types of issues will take longer to heal and will have to address those negative epigenetics that were inherited in order to heal. This involves teaching the brain to react positively to things and teaching the brain to remain calm as much as possible this will slowly make epigenetic corrections so the persons body will not be instantly in fight or flight mode.

Things that also retrain the brain and repair it also repair the limbic system for example positive social interaction, meditation on positive things, exercise in moderation. For those who are chronically ill only do what your body will allow if you push too hard you will not only set yourself back but you could cause increased heart damage and even experience a stroke. Dwelling on our day and picking out the positive things that happened out of the day and dwelling on those have been shown to improve limbic health. Also as we heal reintroducing ourselves to stress slowly and as we do learning to deal with it more positively or reacting less negative to it will help restore limbic health. Constant negative thinking rewires our brain and nerves to be more sensitive to pain and causes neurodegeneration. I had to learn to avoid those who think negatively and talk negatively about certain things all the time. I am not talking about those who vent and then react to the situation by working to correct it but I am talking about complainers who just keep complaining and do nothing about it. These ones can start to affect us negatively and cause our brains to rewire in a negative way.

All the things that affect the brain also affect the lymbic system for example over exposure to blue light at night will decrease melatonin which has a negative impact on the health of the whole body. Earth grounding has been found to restore the bodies voltage back to what it should be and restores health to the whole body. Avoid exposure to EMFs as much as possible. Any insulin issues or glucose issues need to be addressed. Reduce exposure to toxins as much as possible. Many things we use are very toxic for example bleached paper products contain dioxin which is very toxic to the body, I still see many cooking in aluminum pains and aluminum is very difficult to remove from the body. If a person has mercury fillings it is very important they find someone who knows how to properly remove them.

Avoiding processed foods as much as possible helps a lot even ones that are organic are fortified with folic acid which is man made and toxic to the body. Folate is natural and is not toxic to the body.

If a person is experiencing sleep issues it is very important that they work to correct these because the brain , HPA axis, and limbic system cannot heal if we are not getting REM sleep or if we wake often through the night or do not get enough sleep. From my body being stuck in fight or flight mode it had forgotten how to sleep I had to work very hard to retrain my body to sleep.

Anti-inflammatory foods.

Meats and foods from animals feed grain should be avoided it has been found they have a different nutritional content and they are inflammatory. So when looking for foods produced from animal products look for ones that have not been fed grains but have been free range or pasture raised this included eggs. Farm raised sea food is inflammatory because of the foods they are fed and the environment they are raised in causes increased stress which makes consuming them inflammatory. Avoid things that contain transfats they are extremely inflammatory. Transfats or foods that contain them will state they contain hydrogenated oil. Also processed meats are very inflammatory. GMOs should be avoided because the body reacts the same way to the BT Toxins found in them as it would if a person had food poisoning. Artificial sweeteners are not only inflammatory but they also damage the liver and kidneys and promote obesity. It is very important to eat organic because the toxins sprayed on conventional grown foods do not only cause inflammation and oxidative stress but they cause many types of chronic illness . This is why obesity and heart disease has become epidemic in the industrialized world.

So the anti-inflammatory foods I mention should be from pasture raised animals, wild caught or free ranged. Eggs are anti-inflammatory, fish, fruits and vegetables especially berries. Calciferous vegetables in moderation, over consumption can have the opposite effect. Squash pumpkin and melon is very anti-inflammatory. Olive oil , avocado oil and coconut oil are very anti-inflammatory. Fish oil is anti-inflammatory unless it is old then it becomes inflammatory. When I buy fish oil I make sure it is guaranteed fresh and I make sure it contains lemon and I refrigerate it to prevent oxidation.

We need to learn to seize control of our thoughts and be more aware of when we are thinking negatively or reacting negatively so we can retrain our minds to respond in a way that would not effect our health. We must try our best not to react to negative circumstances especially ones we cannot do anything about. We also must retrain our minds to respond positively because if we could do something about it the increased HPA up-regulation will cloud our thinking and it inhibits the ability to think logically. This is why many companies especially the pharmaceutical industry and the media induce false fears in people and then give them false hope because inducing fear causes a person to lose the ability to reason and think logically. If a product truly worked they would not have to use deceptive tactics to sell their products.

Training the brain to respond appropriately.

Some of the things I mention here I myself am still working on. Once our HPA and limbic systems have healed enough we can endure some stress we need to start meditating on the stressful situations we know cannot be avoided and will arise. We need to meditate on how we can respond in a way it will keep things from getting more stressful and when it cannot be avoided how we can respond in a way it will not cause an increase in activation of our HPA axis. If we are dealing with people who cause us stress we need to handle it in an appropriate way. The bible has the best advice for handling things like that. Sometimes it may involve cutting certain people out of our lives the bible has advice on when that is appropriate and when it is not. Some will be unconcerned about your health issues and how the stress they cause you effects your health. When appropriate and possible it is best to avoid such ones because it will dramatically increase the time it will take you to heal. I am dealing with this now and often times experience many set back but at the present time I have no choice but to learn to deal with it in a way that will not negatively impact my health until I find a way out of my present situation.

How we breath effects our HPA axis and brain. When we are stuck in a state of fight or flight our breathing will become more rapid. This increase the upregulation of the HPA even farther. In order to train the body not to do this we need to learn to breath differently when that happens. Breathing in through the nose deeply while pushing the stomach out next breath out through the mouth slowly. This will increase our oxygen levels and help break the fight or flight response. Only do this about five times because if you increase oxygen levels too high it can cause dizziness and you could even pass out.

Developing a core believe system so we can make clearer boundaries and know when to make our yes mean yes and no mean no retrains the brain to react to stressful situations ion a way that the HPA does not get activated. For me learning the bible and writing it on my heart has helped me a lot, it has given me very clear boundaries that I will not cross or leave others cross. This has prevented me from having to rely on my own understanding and wisdom and has gotten me through some pretty rough times.

We need to learn to word things in a more positive light even negative things that have occurred when possible. This is one I am still at the beginning stages of learning.

Massages help to retrain the limbic system and also trains the body to relax.

We have to stay active if we are healthy enough to prevent our minds from dwelling on negative things. If we are bed ridden we need to develop a hobby we can do while we are healing that will keep us busy or find things we can do while we are bedridden. Used it for an opportunity to read about and learn new skills which I have been able to apply and teach others to help them learn to heal. Also reaching out to others and teaching them to heal helped to prevent me from dwelling on negative things too much.

Engaging in small talk and taking and interest in others heals the brain and limbic system. It also stimulates new brain cell growth.

Memory games improve brain health and stimulate cell growth. Thing like memorizing number, or having someone give instructions and then repeating them back to them helps to stimulate brain healing and brain cell growth.

Taking words and finding words that have similar or the same meaning

Learning a new language improves brain health.

We need to be mindful of ourselves which means we become aware of our thoughts but do not judge ourselves. If the thoughts are ones we should not have instead of judging ourselves we should dwell on what we will do to change our thinking and prevent those thoughts in a good and positive way.

Learning to dance or play music has been shown to improve brain health and limbic health.

The hidden side of chronic illness.

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am a lousy editor.

Those of us who have been chronically ill or are still chronically ill need to speak out about what we are enduring. If we do not speak out then society will continue to sweep us under the carpet and falsely justify the things they are doing and have done to us. If they believe in God they have a lot to make up for because they have wronged us and the bible requires they make up for it more then they wronged us. I am not going to cover the biblical aspects of things in this article but we need to speak out about everything we endure including the emotional aspects of it.

I am doing this article based on my personal experience and my experience with helping others to heal. I am going to discuss as accurately as I can the emotional aspects of what happens when someone is chronically ill and how the vast majority of family and friends react to those who are chronically ill. There are a variety of emotions involved with chronic illness and they occur for many reasons. Oftentimes there is brain inflammation. Oftentimes these emotions result from the person desiring to be able to function normally again . I have found oftentimes it is because the person’s friends and family have emotionally and physically abandoned them and even ostracize them while putting on a show that they cared. I experienced all this. Yet when others were not around their actions and the things they would say to me contradicted what they made things appear to others. Now combine all this with the fact that most who are chronically ill have brain swelling and are struggling mentally with the many issues involved with brain swelling. For example mood swings, personality changes, sometimes it takes so much mental energy to block out the pain they have very little mental resources left for emotional or even basic functions of life. I am finding society as a whole abandons the chronically ill especially if they have a tick borne illness or interstitial cystitis some of the most painful conditions but the illnesses cannot be seen and because the person looks healthy most refuse to believe they are suffering as severely as they are. These are referred to by those who suffered from them as invisible illnesses. Since I suffered from them it had a double meaning to me. One meaning is no one believed I was chronically ill because they could not see my illness and two because after I got chronically ill I seem to become invisible to family, friends and society. Society puts on a show that they care, but from personal experience I have found that is exactly what it is just show. When it comes to providing for the real needs of the chronically ill with things like emotional support or physical support the chronically ill are pretty much on their own. Society takes a non biblical approach and tries throwing money at the problem while ignoring the actual needs of the chronically ill. The chronically ill are victims of family, friends and society.

Usually some of the main feelings a person who experiences chronic illness is sadness because they cannot be there for others or they cannot fulfill their responsibilities that are necessary for example family, or household responsibilities. I have found society puts on a good show at pretending they care about the chronically ill but in actuality they abandon them by not providing for their emotional and physical needs which includes trying to reduce emotional and physical burdens so the person can focus on healing. Because they offer very little help and oftentimes expect a lot from a person who is chronically ill it dramatically increases the time it takes for the person to heal. It often takes every ounce of energy for someone who is chronically ill to just fulfill their basic life functions. Even eating often can be very exhausting, things like taking a shower or even brushing our teeth become very labor intensive for those who are chronically ill. When a chronically ill person has good days and can easily do certain things they cannot normally do society seems to take that as evidence they have healed and abandon them even farther. We experience even more sadness and anxiety because now we are trying to fulfill what others expect of us because we do not want to let them down and in the meantime we can feel the added emotional and physical stress causing our health to decline. When we try to express what is happening often we are met with responses that are cold and uncaring. This causes those who are chronically ill to become emotionally and even physically isolated. The very support system they thought they could count on is completely neglecting their needs and not even acknowledging them. This causes the person who is chronically ill to experience extreme loneliness even if they have many people around them.

We often times become irritable because we are struggling to maintain our composure because of the pain and mental anguish we are experiencing. Top that off with how the chronic low grade inflammation has affected the brain it takes all we have not to lose our tempers and get angry over the littlest things that normally we would think nothing of. Add this to how most who are chronically ill are being treated and neglected it makes it even more difficult to not become irritable. Not only that but the chronically ill realize how something someone is doing is affecting them mentally and physically and they are trying their best to conserve mental and physical resources to survive and heal and for the most part their needs are being neglected and ignored.

There is a lot of anxiety that comes with chronic illness because it takes many many doctors visits to get diagnosed and because modern medicine has been so heavily indoctrinated by the modern day corporate science they have no idea how to help those who are chronically ill so those who are chronically ill also end up getting abandoned by the medical community farther isolating them. Most chronically ill have to become their own researchers and spend many many hours studying so they can learn to heal. In the meantime they are very aware of how close death is. Many who are chronically ill have others who are counting on them and they do not want to leave them by dying. They also want to be a part of their lives but the illness takes so much away from them physically and emotionally that they have very little left for friends and family. They watch their lives crumbling around them and their families will put the blame on them farther adding to their anxiety. They will nit pick at the chronically ill pointing out responsibilities they are neglecting. Not understanding why they are spending so much time researching and speaking to others so they can learn to heal. The chronically ill are doing the best they can to learn to heal and want nothing more then to be there for their friends and family yet those very ones will be the ones pointing out their inadequacies that the chronically ill can do nothing about. Oftentimes this will cause the chronically ill person so much emotional distress that it starts taking from them physically and it causes their health to decline even farther causing even more anxiety.

Being chronically ill also comes with the feeling of emptiness, hopelessness, guilt, and we may even feel worthless. Those who are chronically ill lose much of their emotional and physical and even financial support. Those they needed the most distance themselves from them or even add to their stress and physical demands instead of supporting them so they can heal. The mental energy needed to focus on healing and on working just to function takes a lot and there is not much left for even basic things such as planning a meal or even going shopping. The chronically ill person feel emotionally empty from being isolated and from having to use so much of their mental energy for others things they have very little left for emotions. With the chronically ill being expected to function normally and fulfill the normal aspects of their lives which become a mental and physical burden that hinders their healing and they can feel it they start feeling hopelessness. With the medical community being so corrupted , family , friends and society expecting more from the person then they can actually give it causes a sense of hopelessness because the chronically ill person forces themselves to do things that are emotionally and physically demanding which causes their health to decline. Things such as family gatherings can be very emotionally and physically taxing on someone who is trying to block out pain and who is physically wiped out. The slightest bit of stress can dramatically set someone who is chronically ill back. When I was chronically ill and would point this out to people they would tell me “life is stressful get over it. “

A person who is chronically ill is usually so focused on healing that things they used to find pleasurable like going to social gatherings or going on a date become non pleasurable because of the physical and emotional resources that have been used to do those things. Even sitting and talking with family had become emotionally and physically taxing for me because I had to watch what I said or did because I would get a lot of criticism about how I lacked responsibility and didn’t seem to care about things anymore. In actuality I cared deeply but was so emotionally and physically drained and I was trying to do my best to conserve energy mentally and physically so I could heal. Guilt comes from this because we realize we are not fulfilling our responsibilities and we have become a burden to others. Usually the guilt is farther increased by those around the chronically ill pointing out the things they are inadequately fulfilling. The mental resources it takes for a chronically ill person to block out the pain , the fatigue and many other health issues causes those who are chronically ill to become absent minded, have memory loss, become emotionally distanced because of the amount of mental energy it takes to deal with the illness. Oftentimes we do not want to burden others so we will try and pretend we are not as sick as we actually are which comes with it’s own guilt because now we are deceiving others adding to our problems because they will expect more from us. So to reveal this to them after we have put on a show of being better then we actually are means we expose we have been deceptive. This can cause a flood of emotions between the people involved and oftentimes for me resulted in them not believing I had been pretending to be better than I was so they would still not offer the support I needed. I learned from experience when we hide how much we are actually going through we do a disservice to all those who are chronically ill because we are enabling the behavior towards the chronically ill by hiding our suffering. We also are enabling the medical communities to sweep us under the carpet and discredit us and make us look mentally ill instead of exposing the truth of the medical inadequacies and neglect.

All of the above mentioned things may cause those who are chronically ill to have trouble remembering thing, trouble in planning things, difficulty in making decisions. The chronically ill will have good and bad days but society only sees the good days and are critical of the chronically ills mental inadequacies when they are having bad days. It seems that society only chooses to see the good days the chronically ill are having and mentally block out the bad days and use those good days to justify their lack of support and their neglect of the chronically ill. They start making unreasonable demands setting the person back mentally and even physically.

Adding to the problems a chronically ill person has is the fact their sleep is affected by their illness. Because the body needs sleep to heal they may have difficulty waking also many health problems can cause excessive sleepiness. Some may switch between being excessively sleeping to having lot of energy which is what occurred with me. There would be times I would sleep for a week none stop then there would be times I could not sleep for a week at a time. Oftentimes the circadian rhythm becomes disrupted when a person is chronically ill causing them to wake at the wrong times of the day and sleep at the incorrect times. I experienced all the things mentioned. This adds to the stress because all we want is to be normal again but oftentimes people will complain how much we sleep and say if we would get up and move around and quit being so lazy we could get some things done. This also adds to the guilt because we are very aware of how our irregular sleep patterns are affecting our lives.

The things a chronically ill person experiences can cause them to have thoughts of death. Suicide attempts and suicide is very high among those who are chronically ill . I thought of dying and desired to and even prayed for it. I believe because of the damage my body had suffered there was no way it could recover. I thought I would be useless the rest of my life and felt like I was a prisoner of my own body. Though I did not try suicide nor would have I wanted to die. The pain was beyond anything I ever thought I could endure. Yet no one would acknowledge my suffering and my pain. Even now if I mentioned what I endured people will criticize me and even make it appear as if I am crazy when I mention them. Oftentimes they even blame the chronically ill person’s behavior on being mentally ill. This further adds to the desire to die. I am glad I did not die and I am very happy I have learned to heal and have had the opportunity to teach others they can heal.

I am not blaming those who neglect, ignore or add burdens on the chronically ill only but the blame also goes to the chronically ill oftentimes because we try not to burden others with what we are enduring. When we do get criticism for what we endure we easily just go back to hiding it believing it will make us less of a burden on others. We go back to trying to pretend like everything is ok in the meantime it is causing our health to decline because we are fighting very hard to appear to be somewhat normal and functional. In doing so we are doing a disservice to all those who are chronically ill because we continue to let the medical communities and society as a whole including families to ignore those who are chronically and not acknowledge how sick they really are.

In doing so we are doing a disservice to all those who are chronically ill because we continue to let the medical communities and society as a whole including families to ignore those who are chronically and not acknowledge how sick they really are.

One thing I have not recovered from mentally is the isolation I now feel. I no longer seem to have anything in common with anyone because becoming chronically ill taught me to enjoy the simple things in life and taught me to appreciate keeping life simple. I no longer enjoy watching TV, movies or the many other worldly things they are distractions that take from true happiness. I also feel isolated because I feel in my heart I could never count on those I trusted to be there for me. It has seemingly distanced me from them. I still love them deeply but feel when things get tough they are going to put their own interest first no matter what the cost is to me or others. This has caused me to mistrust most farther isolating me. I still try my best to let love guide all I do and I love others deeply but do not have the confidence they will be there for me and I am pretty certain I would be on my own like I was when I was chronically ill. It would take quite a bit from those who let me down to convince me I could count on them and trust them. I would have to see in their actions they understand what I endured and what I am still enduring as I continue to recover. Also those scars of them letting me down will remain. I have forgiven them but I am not confident that even in their actions they are wholeheartedly going to be there for me. I know I am somewhat selfish but I always gave everyone my all and thought when I was down and out they would be there for me. The fact that they were not and actually did the opposite had made me lose any confidence I have in them and it most likely will not be restored because I still see in the things they so and do towards me they do not fully understand what I endured and how it has changed me mentally , financially, and even physically. They further isolate me by trying to compare their health issues to mine and I came very near dying a few times. I cannot see how they can compare achy joints or a burning stomach to the complete failure of my body and being very close to dying. It further shows their lack of even caring or being interested in what I had to endure. It feels as if they are down playing what I endured and even insulting my intelligence.

From a mothers perspective they may want to give up because the pain is so severe and their bodies are struggling to function. They feel guilt for not being able to be there for their children mentally or physically as they would like. They feel guilt for wanting to give up because if they died who would take care of their children. Who would make sure they remained healthy. What if they suffered from the same illness, who would guide them through it. The mothers know that no one would love and care for their children like they do. They want to get healthy because they know no one will keep the children as safe as they do but the mental , physical and emotional aspect of being chronically ill are so overwhelming that it is a struggle to go on each day.

For those who have a loving father , the father worries about who would take care of the children while he provided for him. He would be very aware no one would love and nurture them like their mother would.

Sadly I have seen the opposite occur. While a parent is struggling to maintain their health the spouse offers very little help or support. This further increase the mental, emotional and physical stress causing the parents health to decline even more.

Why chronic illness has become epidemic and things that may help.

Why chronic illness has become epidemic.

I am going to discuss how inflammation and oxidative stress cause chronic illness and may lead to high lactic acid levels in the body and some things that may help. This is not medical information , I am writing this for educational and and information purposes. If you are ill you should seek the help of an experienced and proven naturopath.

When in a state of excess inflammation the gut has a hard time absorbing nutrients. It may be necessary to get subligual nutrients until the body has healed enough to start absorbing foods. Some have used transdermal nutrient patches and said they worked for them.

Inflammation and oxidative stress cause the blood to thicken and damages blood vessels leading to thrombosis. The main causes of inflammation and oxidative stress now days is vaccinations, BT Toxins in GMO foods, glyphosate which has been found to be in most of our food supply and pharmaceutical drugs. Also sugar and processed food causes inflammation and oxidative stress. The causes of the oxidative stress are very numerous and mostly man made. Death from allopathic medicine is one of the number one causes of death in the world because many of the drugs and devices used cause excess oxidative stress and chronic low grade inflammation. Our food has become so toxic that it is also a source of oxidative stress and chronic low grade inflammation. This is why eating organic as much as possible is very very important because it reduces your exposure to toxins. Mental stress from anger, hatred , life’s stress, anxieties of life can cause excess chronic low grade inflammation. Constant exposure to mold can cause low grade inflammation and oxidative stress. We have many toxins now in our environment that is also causing excess oxidative stress and inflammation.

Once a chronic cycle of inflammation or oxidative stress gets started it is hard to stop especially when it is caused by vaccines because they contain chemicals that can effect the body for life putting it in a state of chronic low grade inflammation. This causes a persons health to slowly degrade over the years. Drugs like fluoroquinolones can have a much more dramatic effect and is very difficult to overcome.

Most will be told these things are genetic. When you hear them say something is genetic this usually means they are putting up a smoke screen for the harm they have done, or they lack the knowledge to understand what is really occuring and what the real cause of illness or they are brushing it under the carpet to hide the harm being done by the biotech industry, food industry, medical industry or pharmaceutical industry. This is why you will most likely not get answers from the allopathic community as to why you are ill and what led up to you becoming ill. As an example my family used to remain pretty healthy on both my mothers and my fathers side until they were in their upper 80 and 90s. As a matter of fact one of my aunts died at 102 and she was a smoker. Now most of my family starts suffering from chronic illness very young and they are now dying in their 40s and 50s. I see this occurring in many families and I wonder why no one is asking why?

Since our bodies are under constant attack from the oxidative stress and inflammation it is making us more prone to diabetes, cancer, autoimmunity , cardiovascular disease, lung disease and infectious diseases. This is also why tick born illness is rampant. Modern day society is losing our ability to fight infection because our bodies are under constant assault. Allopathic medicine gives you drugs to mask the symptoms to make you feel better but often times they are speeding up the rate that our health declines. Because man is losing the ability to fight infection it is leading to infectious diseases that normally would not effect us to be able to jump species. Once they jump species they rapidly adapt becoming much more dangerous then previous infectious diseases. Those most vulnerable to these diseases are the ones who are in a constant state of inflammation and oxidative stress.

The chronic illness is a symptom it is the oxidative stress and inflammation that is causing the problems. This causes you to experience psuedohypoxia. Though you have adequate levels of oxygen in your blood it is not getting to your tissues. This causes the cells to be in a state of hypoxia. This state of hypoxia causes you to use alternative metabolic pathways as a source of energy. Those alternative metabolic pathways result in the production of lactic acid at a rate faster then what your body can remove it. It also result in increased oxidative stress and increased inflammation.

The body is very resilient, it can take quite a few assaults before it breaks down and loses the ability to repair. When the oxidative stress and chronic low grade inflammation reach a certain point the body can no longer repair fast enough to be able to keep up and our health slowly declines. The more it declines the more prone we become to infection. It has gotten so bad now days that even commensal microbes we need are acting almost as if they are an infectious agent now days. Man has always had to deal with tick born illness, mold and many other things. They did not bother us before because our bodies were not always under constant toxic assault.

In order to heal and prevent farther illness you need to address the cause of the chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.

When we are in a state of chronic low grade inflammation it can cause thrombosis. This deprives the bodies tissues of oxygen. Even though our plasma oxygen levels may be normal because of the excess blood clotting the blood cannot reach our tissues. This causes our blood vessels to break down farther depriving the bodies tissues of much needed oxygen. This is often times referred to as pseudohypoxia some refer to is as tissue hypoxia. This causes the body to use alternative pathways to create energy for the cells. Often times this leads to lactic acid build of in the body because it is a byproduct of the alternative pathways energy production. With the alternative pathways being used lactic acid is being produced at a faster rate then the body can remover or convert it.

In order to heal we need to address the thrombosis so the tissues can get the oxygen they need, we need to address the inflammation and the excess oxidative stress. If we do not it does not matter how many supplements or how healthy your diet is you will not heal.

We need inflammation and oxidative stress in order to heal and protect us from infection so we need to find balance. Excess oxidative stress and inflammation can inhibit our ability to fight infection and if inflammation and oxidative stress is totally inhibited then the body cannot remove scar tissue and cannot fight infection so balance is key to healing.

Now the metabolic and genetic issues caused by these things are complex and needs someone experienced to help a person understand what they need to do in order to heal. There are many protocols out there but there is no one size fits all protocol. Healing is unique for each person and has to be geared towards the exposome of their family and location. We must correct any problems that may have been passed down from their parents exposome effecting their genes and we also have to address the effects of their present exposome on their genes. I am only going to lightly touch on things that will help but it is best to seek the treatment from an experienced naturopath with a proven good track record. Allopathic medicine gets you on a medical hamster wheel because there is no profit in treating the illness because a healthy customer is a lost customer. I have in a few instances seen naturopaths who used a similar tactic though it is not as common in naturopathic medicine I have seen naturopaths that have gotten people on a naturopathic hamster wheel. They sell products that treat the symptoms and not the cause of illness. So the person has moved from an allopathic hamster wheel to a naturopathic one. It is best to find out how successful the naturopath is before you hire them.

Once the body is in this chronic low grade inflammatory state and state of excess oxidative stress the cycle is very difficult to break. It takes time to heal. If you are living in mold it will take much much longer to heal because the toxins produced by mold cause inflammation and oxidative stress. This is also why those living in mold are more susceptible to injury from vaccines, GMOs, farm toxins found in our foods and allopathic drugs.

In order for your body to heal you have to address the health issues that have been caused while reducing the oxidative stress and chronic low grade inflammation that has been caused.

The oxidative stress and inflammation can effect many metabolic pathways and genes. It can even cause negative epigenetic changes which can get passed to children. So when a person is healing sometimes it is necessary to consider the negative epigenetic changes that may have occurred in their familes.

Our microbiome modulate many of our metabolic pathways and genes. Toxins, bad food choices and even vaccine injury can alter our microbiome. Also our genes and metabolic pathways need to communicate with our microbiome. When there is excess oxidative stress and inflammation this communication get broken. Also antibiotics, processed foods, GMO, farm chemicals in our food and even emotional and physical stress can alter our microbiome. We inherit our microbiome from our parents so any microbe alterations they experience will be passed to their children. Many of the gut microbes needed to maintain our health are now extinct in the guts of those who live in the U.S. and other nations who have high herbicide, pesticide and antibiotic use. This is why chronic illness, autoimmunity, and cancer are so rampant now days.

In order to help the body get the upper hand we need to detox, address genetic and metabolic issues and correct our microbiome imbalance and any other things in our exposome that are negatively impacting our health. We need to reduce the inflammation and oxidative stress and work on correcting microbiota, metabolic and gene issues. This take someone very experienced and is unique to each person. In my opinion we need a variety of naturopaths who communicate with each other and specialize in a specific area because the many health problems caused by these things are complex and some can take years to study to fully learn how to correct them.

Inflammation , oxidative stress and altered gut microbes can increase zonulin levels. This will cause a person to develop food allergies and intolerance. Once again they will tell people this is genetic when in actuality it has been caused by the toxic environment from man. Since we inherit our gut microbiome from our parents that damage gets passed to our children unless we correct it. Since we inherit our microbiome from our parents imagine how sick each generation is going to get as more and more farm chemicals and other toxins that are found in our food increases. Imagine all those who’s microbiome has been altered by antibiotics. This next generation of children to not stand a chance. I microbiome make up 80 percent of our immune system, they also keep our bodies from attacking themselves. Our microbiome prevent the absorption of toxins and regulate our zonulin levels. When zonulin is unchecked and gets too high it can lead to leaky gut which cause us to become sensitive to almost every thing we eat.

So the key to healing is to heal our guts, decrease inflammation and oxidative stress while addressing metabolic and gene issues a person may have. Removing the offending factors from our environment.

There are negative epigenetic changes that can occur to our parents and can be passed to us. Things such as trauma, nutrient deficiencies, toxins and many other things can cause negative epigenetic changes. Often times this can be corrected.

Another thing that causes inflammation and oxidative stress is nutrient deficiencies. This can be caused by a lack of variety in our diets, eating processed foods or consumption of foods that contain glyphosate or foods that have been grown where it has been used because glyphosate chelates minerals from the soil and when foods are consumed that contain it which most of our food supply has been found to be contaminated with it then it chelates the nutrients from the body also. Many believe this is why they started fortifying foods with vitamins because they started doing this at the same time the government approved it’s use. Documents showing communications between the government and Monsanto show that hey had the fact that this was occurring.

I am not going to get into detail on how to heal but I am going to make some suggestions. If you are chronically ill it is best to find an experienced naturopath with a proven track record for helping others to heal.

I am going to discuss some things that help reduce lactic acid but acetaldehyde will most likely need addressed also because excess lactic acid feeds the acetaldehyde producing microbes. Acetaldehyde is also a byproduct of alcohol consumption so those who have acetaldehyde levels will become intoxicated. There are reports of people who have never touched a drop of alcohol in their life and they have failed breathalyzer test and sobriety test. Auto-brewery syndrome can be caused by antibiotics or consuming foods high in glyphosate. Avoiding foods high in processed carbohydrates can help prevent auto-brewery syndrome. Also eating organic as much as possible help reduce the risk of developing it. Eating more complex fibers like organic unpolished brown rice, barley, pasta cooked Al dente , vegetables, many herbs like parsley and oregano help prevent it. Oats, and lentils also reduce the risk of it occurring. Things that can help reduce lactic acid are coconut oil, omega 3 oil, rutabaga, ginger, olive oil, lemon and other citrus fruit, pumpkin seeds, algae or seaweed, curcumin, Pau Darco, pineapple, nuts, grape seed extract , mugwort, wormwood, cinnamon, burdock root, and mushrooms help reduce lactic acid because they contain beta glucan. Bifidobacteria acidifies the gut which reduces pathogens and acetaldehyde producing microbes. Some nutrients that help are low dose biotin and consuming food grade Saccharomyces cereviciae. Also reducing glucose, fructose, and lactose consumption until homeostasis in the gut is reached should also help. The thrombosis, inflammation and oxidative stress still need to be addressed so that the body can start getting the upper hand and heal.

The poor circulation caused by thrombosis causes circulation shunting so the tissues are not getting the oxygen they need. This also causes damage to the blood vessels causing farther loss of oxygen to the bodies tissues. The oxygen levels in the plasma can appear to be normal but CO2 levels are usually high in those suffering from this. Another thing that can cause this type of shunting is if someone has catacholamine issues. Those suffering from this will most likely experience bone loss, muscle loss and ligaments and other soft tissue will start to deteriorate and they will start developing skin lesions. Mannose can help reduce the damage until the issues causing this are addressed. It is found in gaur gum, locust bean, genugreek gum, tara gum, konjac gum, peaches, apples, oranges, berries, cabbage, turnip, tomatoes especially green tomatoes, berries, palm kernel oil, cayenne pepper, kidney beans, lima beans, aloe vera, and bakers yeast. Taking high amounts of mannose can cause bloating, diarrhea, and kidney damage. Mannose also helps correct misfolded proteins which is a problem found in almost all forms of interstitial cystitis.

Ursolic acid can also increase oxygen levels to the cells. It is found in rosemary, apples , majorem, oregano and hawthorn. Also ursolic acid and Tomatidine can help to restore muscle mass by inhibiting ATF-4 activation. Tomatidine helps those who have APOE4 issues. Excess Tomatidine can cause tachycardia and can cause increased blood pressure. Tomatidine is found in green tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

In order to get oxygen to the cells it is also very important to improve blood flow. These help improve blood flow. Cayenne pepper, grape seed extract, bromelain found in pineapples, pomegranate, cinnamon, cod liver oil, beets, L-arginine, tumeric, leafy greens, citrus fruits, walnuts, tomatoes, berries, foods high in vitamin E, wheat germ oil, grape seed extract Avocado, ginger and Foods high in B vitamins such as mushrooms, kale and spinach. Remember to cook kale and spinach because they are high in oxalates. Once you cook them dump the water to get rid of the oxalates. Gotu Kola, bacopa, hawthorne, Ginkgo Biloba, thyme, horny goat weed, and green tea also improve blood flow. Getting massages improves blood flow and speeds up lactic acid clearance from the body. Vitamin D also improves blood flow to cells. Stretching improves blood flow to the cells. Stimulating HSP70 improves blood flow to the cells but should be done in moderation because overstimulating it can increase oxidaive stress. HSP70 also helps remove scar tissue from the body and corrects misfolded proteins. You can simulate HSP70 by going from hot to cold for example by getting in a sauna and then taking a cold shower. I could not do that because my Lyme carditis was bad at the time so I would splash my face with cold water after I showered and it did help.

Now to address the oxidative stress. These are the most potent anti-oxidants, keep in mind we need a certain amount of oxidative stress to protect us from cancer and infection, it is also needed to remove toxins and scar tissue from the body. Olives contain the most potent antioxidant found. It is called Hydroxytyrosol. It improves mitochondrial function and reduces inflammation. Astaxantan found in trout , shrimp, and salmon. Pyrroquinolone quinnone found in green peppers, pine bark extract, larch bark extract,

Addressing the inflammation. These things help with inflammation. Magnesium, berries, fatty fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel and anchovies reduce inflammation. Broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, dark chocolate, cherries, swiss chard, bok choy, celery and beets are good for reducing inflammation. Sinapinic acid found in wine, vinegar, black mustard seed which has to be organic because they have GMO mustard, raspberries, avocado, mango, onion, garlic, rye, dill, sage, anise, turnip greens, oats, and beer contain Sinapinic acid. Sinapinic Acid increases estradiol concentrations in the body and is a more potent pain killer then aspirin. It is also one of the most potent anti-inflammatories there is. I mentioned melatonin being and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. I usually do not like taking things that the body can produce because often times that can destroy the bodies ability to produce it but this does not occur with melatonin. N-acetyl-cystein (NAC) and glycine are very potent anti-inflammatories and antioxidants. Once you reach homeostasis with NAC it is best to start pulsing it to about three days a week. Alpha-Lactalbumin found in hydrolysed whey protein helps reduce inflammation better then aspirin. Proteins that help reduce inflammation are taurine, histidine, and carnotine. They are found in gelatin, scallop, fish, potatoes, legumes, beans, and eggs. Gaba also reduces inflammation. Bifidobactieria and commensal clostridia increase GABA levels. If a person is having trouble gaining weigh increasing prevotella will increase weight gain and is very potent at reducing zonulin levels and inflammation. Vitamin B6 and B12 help reduce inflammation. Often times when under oxidative stress or chronic inflammation we cannot convert B6 and B12 to the bioavailable forms. This happened to me so I had to take the bioavailable forms of B6 and B12. The body needs B6 in order to use B12 so it should be taken first. Many take hydroxyl B12 but the only one that worked for me was methyl B12. Yarrow reduces inflammation and also has effects similar to caffeine without the side effects of caffeine. Citroline helps reduce inflammation but should not be taken for long periods of time and should be pulsed about three times a week once homeostasis is reached because the body recycles it and it can build up in the blood stream and start damaging red blood cells and the liver. CoQ10 decreases inflammation but a person should detox before taking it because it can cause the cell to release toxins that may be in them. I would say it would be best to pulse it at first and detox between doses and then as you react less take it more often. I had to take it twice a day in order to notice the benefits.

Now to correct the leaky gut if you have food sensitivities you will need to increase intake of mucilage. Arrow root, kudzu root and maca root are good sources of mucilage. Also you oxalate absorption is increase so consuming calcium with food helps prevent oxalate absorption until you get your gut healed. Increased zonulin causes food allergies, high histamines, food intolerance, systematic inflammation and oxidative stress. You may have to avoid gluten, casein , and other foods like beans for a while because they contain lectins which can cause inflammation in the body when zonulin levels are high and they can also irritate the gut when zonulin levels are high. Inflammation can cause high adrenal activity causing the body to get stuck in a state of fight or flight. It is very important to learn to relax and handle stress as well as possible. A breathing technique that helped me relax is breathing in through the nose and exhaling it slowly through the mouth. Colostrum also decreases zonulin levels. These microbes reduce zonulin levels and inflammation but should not be taken until the butyrate producing microbes are restored. Enterococcus Faecium, Lactobacillus Acidophillus, Lactobacillus Brevis, and Lactococcus Lactis.  Artichokes, bananas, chicory inulin, Jerusalem artichoke, fruit pectin, and coconut oil help to increase the butyrate producing and zonulin reducing microbes.

Meditating on positive things has been shown to speed up healing of the gut. Low impact exercise has been shown to speed up the healing of the gut. Zinc speeds up the healing of the gut but do not take high dose if you do it can push the copper from your body. Low dose vitamin D3 speeds up healing of the gut but high dose will cause oxalates leading to kidney stone formation. It also will inhibit the vitamin D receptor resulting in bile flow and digestive enzymes becoming inhibited. If you are having trouble digesting cargbohydrates black seed oil increases the digestion of carbohydrates. Thyme increase brush border enzymes helping with motility and the farther break down of our foods .

We inherit our microbiome from our parents and they modulate our genes and metabolic pathways. So if a family lacks certain microbes or has too many of certain microbes they will be prone to certain illnesses. They falsely claim the illnesses are genetic to hid the harm the biotech, food industry and pharmaceutical industry are doing. Our diets can alter our gut microbiome. Often times we learn eating habits from our family and if a family has bad eating habits then we also will make ourselves prone to certain illnesses involved with either consuming too much of one things or not enough of another.

If a child is lacking certain microbes and they are given a probiotic containing those microbes they usually will get established very quickly but in adults it can take months for the body to recognize the new beneficial microbe as friend instead of foe. Not only that but we can also get microbes from those we socialize with so if we socialize with those who have bad gut microbes form bad eating habits we could also get their bad microbes and cause illness on ourselves. That most likely can work in reverse also. PQQ supports the transfer of energy in the cells and enhances new mitochondria formation. It is destroyed in the cooking process. So foods containing it should not be cooked above 100 degrees. It is found in Natto. Remember Natto is made from soy and most soy is GMO and contains high levels of glyphosate so make sure if you consume Natto it is organic. Parsley, green bell peppers, papaya which you also should make sure is organic, Tofu which is also made from soy so make sure it is organic, carrots, cabbage, Bananas, Oolong Tea, and Green Tea. PQQ is absorbed better if taken with a fatty acid. Minerals such as zinc, magnesium, Low dose vitamin C because high dose can increase oxidative stress, manganese and molybdenum also help. Our bodies do not need much molybdenum so do not take high doses and once the body has enough start taking it less often. I backed off taking it about three times a week. We need very little manganese so once levels are up I would stop taking it and only take it once in a while to make sure I maintain levels in the body. Argan oil is also a very potent anti-oxidant. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant and potent anti-inflammatory. When under excess oxidative stress methione can increase oxidative stress farther.

SARS-COVID is not the problem it is the last of the things that have brought the body to it’s breaking point.

 

 

 

 

This is something the the pharmaceutical industry , the biotech industry and the food manufactures would not want people to know. The Corona virus is not the problem . There is a reason some are dying while others are not effected. There are reason these super bugs that never existed before are suddenly springing up. There are reason tick born illness is rampant now. People need to ask what has changed.

If they do ask and they take the blinders off and look deeper they will find the very ones promising to protect their health are the ones causing all the chronic illness and deaths.

There are two things I know of that cause the very same symptoms Corona does. Toxins and vaccine injury. We know vaccinations also make your more prone to infectious diseases so my question is are they using the Corona outbreak as a smoke screen or is the Corona virus the final straw because the pharmaceutical industry and biotech industry and the processed food industry has pushed people health to the limit and their bodies could not take another assault on them. Then we have E-cigarettes adding to the burden. Not only that but farm chemicals like glyphosate are accumulating in our atmosphere. Most of the population tested in the U.S. had high levels of glyphosate in their systems. When you look at the cytokine storm caused by the Corona virus and the cytokine storm caused by vaccines and they parralel. Then we have fluorquinlone and quinloline drugs that are causing very similar health problems as vaccine injury and glyphosate. Vaccinations are known to cause injury that takes a while to present itself but eventually can lead to symptoms that are identical to Corona infection and it can lead to a person developing COPD. Vaccines have even been shown to increase the risk of infectious disease especially Corona viruses. I put a link below to an article with supporting research showing vaccines don’t only spread disease they make a person more susceptible to disease.

Now we have the fast food and processed that has been shown to cause obesity, diabetes and even autoimmunity like vaccine and glyphosate. Our foods are lower in nutrients because glyphosate chelates nutrients from the soil and from the bodies of those who consume them. Nutrient deficiencies are known to make someone more prone to infectious diseases. Peoples bodies are so compromised now they are get ill from the very microbes that have been in our bodies for thousands of years and never harmed us before. I discussed in another article I titled synergistic illness that explains why chronic illness, obesity and heart disease have become epidemic now. If a person’s health is compromised then infectious diseases that are carried by pets and other animals that the body could usually fight off now because a problem for them. Once it has entered a person who’s health has been compromised it can make adaptions to live in the new environment. This means it has developed the ability to cross species. Still even with the new super bug the ones who die from those super bugs created by vaccines and those who’s health are compromised are the ones who’s health has been compromised. This has to have the pharmaceutical industry and biotech industry shaking in their boots hoping people don’t figure out why there are those not being effected by the virus and the reason many other are dying from it. The produce the vaccine compromising peoples immune system and they own the biotech industries that are also compromising peoples immune system and their health.

We know the farm chemicals contaminating our food supply, and vaccines are the number one cause of chronic illness. The ones dying from the Corona infection are the very ones that have been injured by pharmaceutical and biotech products.

https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Report-COVID-2019_17_marzo-v2.pdf

Bhutan has set out to become the world first nation to convert to all organic farming. They also have the lowest rates of Corona infection. Could this be a coincidence? It don’t believe it is. China has the highest rates of Corona and they also have the highest vaccine rates and the highest glyphosate usauge in the world. Is that another coincidence? Those with Corona have high prevotella levels that is making them more prone to illness. Glyphosate and antibiotics cause high prevotella levels in the body.

Why so many are more prone to dying from the Corona virus.

https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/07/19/synergistic-illness/

Why so many are ill and have nutrient deficiencies.

 

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor.

Why is there so much chronic illness? Part of the answer is many are deficient in nutrients needed for our bodies to remain healthy. I am only going to cover the most common nutritional deficiencies and their causes. Also I am not going to cover where and how to get them. I would have to write a book things like that cannot be covered in a single article. Also if I mention the recommended daily allowance it will be for adults. The links I have provided have more in depth information on each nutrient and many of the articles discusses their interactions with other nutrients. They also discuss the causes of nutrient deficiencies which can be causes by many things. I just want people to have a basic guide. I would have to write a book if I tried to cover all that. I strongly believe getting nutrients from food is much better then supplements. Sometimes taking what I consider medicinal doses those which are mega doses of nutrients, they can get things kick started but should only be done with the guidance of someone experienced and knowledgeable. Homeostasis should be the goal. Taking too much of something often times can do more harm then good. As I was putting this together it actually depressed me because many things that we should not be deficient in because of modern day toxins we can be. For example phosphorous is high in our foods and we should not experience deficiencies but glyphosate and glufonisate chelate it and many other nutrients from the soil causing our food supply to be low in phosphorous.

Over farming and not rotating crops has caused fruits and vegetables to become deficient in nutrients. Chemicals used for farming either kill the microbes in the soil that the plants need to absorb nutrients or they may chelate the nutrients from the soil. Glyphosate does both and is found to be high in our food supply. Glyphosate also chelates nutrients form our bodies.

Glyphosate and other farm chemicals harm our microbiome that produce nutrients for us and also break down our food so we can absorb nutrients. They also are needed to maintain the health of our guts, our microbiome modulate many of our genes and organs including the brain. Glyphosate inhibits the vitamin D receptor which can cause us to have symptoms of vitamin D deficiency and it damages the gut which often times leads to malabsorption issues which will cause a deficiency in many vital nutrients. Now add vaccinations to this which causes a B cell imbalance which increases zonulin resulting in the gut becoming more porous. This results in food particles entering the blood stream causing a person to react to every food they eat.

Many people eat the same foods day after day and do not get a variety. There are things other then vitamins and minerals that the body needs and we get them from the foods we eat.

Antibiotics and pharmaceutical medications cause many of the same health issues as the farm chemicals and some of the farm chemicals are also patented as pharmaceutical drugs. Fluoroquinolone does almost the same types of damage in the body as glyphosate.

Now imagine being damaged by the farm chemicals in our foods and now we become vaccine injured. Vaccinations injure 100% of the time. As low as 1% of vaccine injury is reported. This means that many are vaccine injured and believe that their illness is genetic. Science has shown genetics contribute very little to chronic illness. Now you have the synergistic effects of things piling up. Most peoples bodies have reached a breaking point.

The saddest part of all of it is that the vaccine injury, the farm chemicals and the drugs cause negative epigenetic changes that are being passed on to the next generation. They are being born pretty much already injured by vaccines, farm chemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs.

The U.S. is one of the most heavily medicated nations in the world. The United States is rapidly become one of the sickest nations in the industrialized world. Many have become disabled which puts a burden on tax payers who have to support those who are unable to work because of their chronic illness. Thousands of soldiers are suffering from ASIA syndrome because of the many vaccines and chemicals they come in contact with. I cannot see how a nation can continue to thrive with all happening to their citizens no matter how advanced technologically they are. Historically many nations who were the most advanced in their times have collapsed almost over night. The toxins in our environment have broken the circle of life and in the U.S. only about 20% of the wild pollinators are left which indicates our food supply may be near collapsing. The soil is becoming so contaminated with farm chemicals that it will take many years for the microbiome of the soil to recover so that the plants will be able to uptake nutrients again.

Now they have spliced genes into many crops such as corn and soy and the BT Toxin they now contain has been causing farm animals to die. It severely damages their guts. Many believe they are lactose intolerant or gluten intolerant but it is actually the food that has caused them to become intolerant of certain foods. As they consume more of the above mentioned products their health continues to decline until they develop immune issues, diabetes, irregular heart beats, obesity , malabsorption, mental illness the list of illnesses caused by these things goes on and on.

With a society that is becoming so ill I cannot see how it can be sustained and a collapse seems inevitable.

Many of the first symptoms of injury from these things are roaming joint pain, then a person will start experiencing frequent flu like symptoms or food poisoning because our microbiome protect us from illness and keep our bodies balanced. Our environment has become so toxic that eating organic only reduces our exposure but does not prevent it. Fish and reptile populations are rapidly declining. When I was younger there were so many bees that every flower had a bee on it. I planted clover hoping to help the wild bee population recover. It has been 7 years and I have seen very few bees or any other insects that pollinate visiting my clover. I used to go fishing there were so many fish that you could actually see them in the water now often times you can walk the creeks all day and not see a single fish. I used to catch my limit of fish within an hour or two of fishing. Now I can fish all day without catching a single fish. There used to be so many frogs that when you walked the creeks and ponds you would see many jumping into the water. Now when I walk creeks and ponds I am lucky to see one frog. It has become clear the cycle that maintains our food supply is severely broken and a collapse is inevitable. What has almost sealed this fate is the U.S. government has just approved much higher farm chemical usage and has just made it possible for pharmaceutical companies to get drugs to be approved much sooner. Many of these medications are making it into the environment. The research that the pharmaceutical companies do is so poor that often times after they market a drug many are injured and killed and the drug has to be pulled from the market.

These younger ones do not even realize all this is happening because they are being taught to accept these things as normal and to believe those sounding the alarm are paranoid or delusional. I am watching them suffer from things they are led to believe is a normal part of life. When I was younger most older people died from old age. Now many aren’t even reaching old age and are dying from chronic illness and heart failure, often times unexpectedly.

This is a cycle that continues to repeat itself over and over which goes to show you our government is not going to protect us. When I was younger my father and his brother where warning people about the harm DDT and PCBs do and that we should avoid them. Everyone laughed at them and told them they were being paranoid and that they were crazy. They would say the government would not let them use those if they were harmful. Later it had been revealed that the government was actually working with the manufactures to hide the harm those chemicals were doing. This has happened many times throughout history and often times governments have colluded with the corporations to help cover up the harm the big corporations chemicals were doing. We are still dealing with the effects of DDT and PCBs now. There are many areas in the U.S. that still have high levels of both in the soil even though their usage has been limited and even banned.

Now add all of this to the ultra-processed foods which have high toxin levels and many additives that are toxic to the body. They add vitamins that are synthetic like folic acid which is toxic to the body yet they refer to it as if it was one and the same as folate which is natural and very good for the body. The processed food has very low nutritional levels so much more has to be eaten in order to get the nutrients the body needs. This is contributing to heart disease, diabetes, obesity and many other forms of chronic illness.

I will try my best to cover each nutrient deficiency and the symptoms. It is best if you get your nutrients from organic local farms if possible. If you supplement be careful because excess vitamin consumption can do more harm then good. Ultra processed foods cause deficiencies in B12, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Niacin, Pyridoxine (B6), copper, iron, phosphorous, magnesium, selenium, zinc, thiamine, riboflavin.

These are nutrient deficiencies caused by glyphosate because of it’s chelating properties and it’s damage to the gut microbiome, glyphosate also inhibits a plants ability to produce certain nutrients. Magnesium , folate, iron, magnesium, molybdenum, manganese, zinc, copper, vitamin K, calcium. Studies have shown that the younger a child is the more susceptible their microbiome is to damaging effects of toxins. Glyphosate and ultra-processed foods can increase sulfite levels in the gut which decreases beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Streptococcus Thermophilus and increases Blautia Wadsworthia, Desulfovibrio and Bacteroidetes. When those increase it inhibits bile which leads to malabsorption, a reduction in pancreatic enzymes which causes constipation and the inability to break down fats leading to low absorption of fats and fat soluble vitamins. When bile and digestive enzymes are inhibited we cannot absorb nutrients. This is why many are deficient in oil soluble vitamins like D, E and vitamin K. Antibiotics and farm chemicals can cause gut inflammation and gut imbalance which also reduce the production of intrinsic factor which is needed in order for the body to absorb vitamin B12. If you supplement do not take high doses it is best if you find food sources of the nutrients you need. It is also best to take whole food supplements because they have the cofactors needed for the body to properly absorb and use most nutrients. Synthetic vitamins usually have toxic effects on the body especially folic acid. Vitamins E, K, D and A are oil soluble and should be consumed with a fatty acid. Most others are water soluble.

Vitamin D

Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or inhibited vitamin D receptor are frequent illness from autoimmunity, muscle weakness, psoriasis, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, asthma, periodontal diseases, cardiovascular disease, schizophrenia or depression, bone pain or bone loss, high blood pressure, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and difficulty sleeping. Excess vitamin D causes the vitamin D receptor to become inhibited and can cause oxalates to form which can lead to kidney stones. Since our bodies can make vitamin D from sunlight it stands to reason that lifeguards have one of the highest rates of kidney stones. From most of the information I could gather the average intake should be around 500 IU a day and at around 5000 IU it starts to impact the health negatively.

Vitamin B12

Folic acid can mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Symptoms of B12 deficiency are numbness or tingling in extremities, depression, paranoid delusions, memory loss, constipation, loss of sense of smell or sense of taste, anemia, weakness, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, buzzing or ringing in ears, loss of appetite or weight loss, bloating, disturbed vision, dissociative disorder, pale or yellow skin, swelling in tongue especially on the sides, white film on the tongue. It is difficult to overdose on vitamin B12 usually the only symptoms of overdose will be acne. Glyphosate and fluorquinolone antibiotics can inhibit the bodies ability to convert B12 to a bioavailable form in the body. Those with high glyphosate or fluorquinolone injury can develop toxic levels of B12 very easily. This can usually be prevented by P5P (pyridoxine-6-phosphate) which is a bioavailable form of vitamin B6. Those at risk can have decreased kidney function when they take B12, high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and numbness.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is needed to convert B12 to a bioavailable form. If glyphosate and fluoroquinolones can inhibit the ability of B6 to be converted also which would inhibit the bodies ability to convert B12. Folic Acid a toxin they put in our foods to replace the folate that glyphosate causes to be lost in the food supply hides B12 deficiency. Folate does not.

A deficiency in B6 can cause mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression, and confusion, it can also cause fatigue, muscle pain, mouth sores, anemia, worsening symptoms of PMS, increased risk of kidney stones, chronic pain, low white blood cell count, dermatitis, swollen tongue and memory loss.

Vitamin B6 toxicity symptoms are loss of dexterity and stumbling when walking, numbness or tingling in extremities, sun sensitivity of the skin and possible brown blotching of the skin, skin lesions, nausea, and heartburn. B6 is needed for magnesium uptake. Recommended daily allowance is between .5 to 1.7 MG.

Magnesium

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Bone loss, hardening of the arteries, fatigue or fibromyalgia, leg cramps or muscle tremors, nausea, anxiety, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, respiratory issues, dizziness, inability to absorb potassium, poor memory and confusion, sugar cravings, inflammatory bowel, high estrogen or progesterone, difficulty sleeping, and migraine headaches. It takes a very high amount of magnesium to become toxic to the body around 5000 MG. Excess magnesium causes diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, lethargy, low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, urine retention, respiratory distress, and can cause kidney damage. Magnesium helps with cellular uptake of calcium and potassium.

Calcium

Symptoms of calcium deficiency are brittle or weak bones, issues with blood clotting, fatigue, sensation of pins or needles, irritability, irregular heart rhythms. Excess salt intake can hinder calcium absorption . Magnesium and vitamin D deficiency can prevent calcium from being absorbed. Parathyroid issues can prevent calcium from being absorbed. Symptoms of too much calcium are dehydration, frequent urination, constipation, fatigue, vomiting, confusion, renal failure, muscle spasms, seizures, bone pain, increased risk for cardiovascular disease from hardening of the arteries, bone pain, mood disorders kidney stones, stomach pain, and constipation. Recommended daily allowance is 200 to 500 MG of calcium. It is best to get calcium from food sources when possible.

Vitamin A

Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency are poor vision from the damage that occurs to the eyes, night blindness, dry scaly skin around the eyes, coarse hair, frequent respiratory infections. Keratonisation of the urinary tract, intestines and mucous membrane. It takes extremely high dose around 100,000 IU to be considered toxic. Symptoms of toxicity are headache, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, irritability, drowsiness, brain swelling, bone spurs, elevated triglyceride levels.

Vitamin K

Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency are excessive bleeding, easily bruised, nose bleeds, bleeding gums, blood in urine or stool, calcification of blood vessels, cardiovascular disease and bone density loss. The synthetic form of vitamin K (menadione) is very toxic to the body and damages the liver. Symptoms of overdose are nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, yellowing of the skin, low iron levels in blood, liver damage from hyperbilirubinemia, biliruben induced brain damage (kernicterus).

Molybdenum

Molybdenum deficiency is rare but issues with certain genes can cause molybdenum cofactor deficiency. This causes issues with sulfation. High levels of glyphosate can cause molybdenum deficiency because it chelates it in the soil and if there are high levels of glyphosate in the body it will chelate it in the body. In China there is a deficiency of molybdenum in the soil but in most areas we get adequate amounts of molybdenum in our diets if we are not consuming foods high in glyphosate or glufonisate. Molybdenum helps prevent Wilson’s disease. If we are deficient it can effect the BH4 and CBS pathways and cause high ammonia levels. 45 UG is the recommended daily allowance but in organic food we get much higher levels then that so is not necessary if we are consuming organic foods especially if locally grown and not from farms that have been over farmed. Glyphosate and glufonisate also increase H2S producing bacteria. Excess H2S can cause cancer low blood pressure and many other health problems. Molybdenum decrease H2S, it reacts with H2S and molybdenum is formed. Glyphosate and fluoroquinolones can cause high copper levels in tissues throughout the body. This is very damaging to the body. Thiolmolybdenum chealates copper from the body so it helps with Wilson’s disease and copper toxicity. But that can also cause a problem because excess thiolmolybdenum may cause copper deficiency.

Folate

Folate is vitamin B9. Folic Acid is the synthetic form and is toxic to the body. Often times medical professionals and scientific researchers incorrectly use the terms folate and folic acid interchangeably which is and error because there is a big difference in how the body uses folate and folic acid. Folic acid can damage the brain and increases risk of cancer. Folate actually protect our brain and reduces risk of cancer. If you see someone or an article that is interchangeably using the terms folate and folic acid be very skeptical of the advice because it indicates they do not know the difference and do not realize how toxic folic acid is. Most information on the internet if not accurate when it comes to folate and folic acid. Dr. Axe is the only one I have seen who has a full comprehension of the difference between the two and the ill health effects of folic acid. They believe that folic acid is more bioavailable but the body produces very little of the enzyme needed to convert folic acid to a usable form and the end result is unmetabolized folic acid entering the blood stream which has many ill effects on our health. Folate deficiency

Symptoms of folate deficiency are impaired immune function, low energy or fatigue, poor digestion, constipation, bloating, inflammatory bowel, anemia, canker sores, mood swings or irritability, pale skin, premature graying of hair. Symptoms of excess folate are nausea, gas or bloating, odd taste in mouth, depression or over excitability, increased risk for nerve damage. Recommended daily allowance is 800 MG.

Manganese

Symptoms of manganese deficiency are osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, siezures, low immunity, severe pms, hormonal imbalances, impaired glucose sensitivity, infertility, impaired antioxidant capacity. Symptoms of toxicity are neurological damage, cognitive decline and behaviour deficits, hyper activity, excess also increases risk of Parkinson’s. If you have certain health issues it can cause you to retain too much manganese. You should have your levels checked before taking it. Recommended daily allowances are around 1.8 MG.

Vitamin E

Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency are peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness, retinopathy, anemia, excess oxidative stress, impaired immune function. Symptoms of toxicity is impaired blood clotting increased risk of certain cancers.

Copper

Deficiency is rare but there are many health conditions that can cause a deficiency. Also high glyphosate or glufonisate levels can also cause a copper deficiency. This is one that I would recommend reading the links I provided before deciding to take a copper supplement. Symptoms of deficiency are anemia, bone abnormalities and osteoporosis, low immunity, impaired growth, premature whitening of hair, pale skin, neurological issues, imbalance in thyroid hormones.. Symptoms of toxicity are nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, kidney damage and anemia. Recommended daily allowance is about 800 UG.

Selenium

Symptoms of deficiency can be fatigue, hypothyroidism, weight gain, impaired immunity, impaired liver function, difficulty breathing. Symptoms of excess are nausea or vomiting, bad breath, fever, possible liver damage. Recommended daily allowance 55 MCG.

Iron

This is a nutrient a person should research and understand before taking it. High iron levels can cause a lot of damage in the body. Also there are illnesses that can make a person appear to be low in iron when in actuality they have toxic levels of iron. Symptoms of iron deficiency are fatigue or weakness, problems with cognitive function and memory, headaches, dizziness, dry brittle hair and nails, strange cravings for things such as metal, dirt, paper, or starchy foods, frequent infections, shortness of breath, sore tongue and restless leg syndrome.

Symptoms of iron overload are abdominal cramping, blackening of stools, constipation, nausea, vomiting, internal bleeding, low blood pressure, dehydration, liver damage. Iron toxicity also increase risk of Alzheimer’s , Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

Phosphorous

Symptoms of deficiency are loss of apetite, muscle weakness, fragile bones, bone deformities, softening of the bones, numbness, frequent infection, tooth decay, anxiety and trouble consentrating. Symptoms of excess phosphorous are cardiovascular disease, renal disease, kidney stones and poor absorption of minerals. Recommended daily allowance is 700 MG.

Zinc

Symptoms of deficiency are impaired neurological function, increased susceptibility to infection, lung disease, allergies, acne or rashes, hypothyroidism which results in thinning hair, preclamsia during pregnancy, increased risk of type 2 diabetes, increased risk of Alzheimer, depression. Symptoms of excess zinc are copper deficiency, macular degeneration, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Recommended daily allowance is 8 MG.

Thiamine B1

Deficiency in Thiamine is referred to as beriberi which results in muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, swollen heart, psychosis, nerve damage, poor apetite, rapid weight loss, colitis, digestive problems, burning feet especially at night, short term memory loss, confusion, irritability, muscle weakness or muscle loss, muscle pain or muscle cramps, mental apathy or depression, and a condition referred to as wet asthma. It takes and extremely high dose to be toxic and is unlikely. Excess amounts can cause anaphylaxis. Recommended daily allowance is 1.1 MG.

Niacin B3

Deficiency is known as pellagra the symptoms can be sensitivity to sunlight, dermatitis, diarrhea or constipation, dementia, inflammation in the mucous membrane, mouth and tongue, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, apathy, fatigue, depression, disorientation, memory loss. Symptoms of toxicity are flushing, nausea and vomiting, low blood pressure, headaches, elevated liver enzymes, jaundice, constipation, impaired glucose tolerance from elevated glucose levels in the blood, gout, low blood pressure, stomach or intestinal ulcers. Recommended daily allowance is 1.3 MG.

Riboflavin

Deficiency is known as Ariboflavinosis. A deficiency can cause preclampsia, sore throat, redness and swelling in throat, mouth, and tongue, cracks or sores on lips and corners of the mouth, moist scaly inflammation in the skin, excess blood vessel growth in the clear part of the eyes, itching bloodshot or watering of the eyes, blurred vision and light sensitivity, reduced red blood cell count. It takes extremely high amounts to be toxic. It can be more toxic if high levels of chromium are present. Toxicity symptoms are kidney stones, numbness, burning or prickling sensations. Recommend daily allowance is 1.3 MG.

Nickle

We need very little nickel so it should not be supplemented but we should get it from food sources. Symptoms of deficiency are allergies, frequent urinary tract infections, paralysis, liver and lung inflammation, anemia and carbohydrate intolerance. Symptoms of toxicity are digestive problems, high red blood cell count, kidney failure, increased risk of lung cancer and zinc like deficiency syndrome. Recommended daily allowance 100 MG.

Sulfur

We can suffer from vitamin deficiencies if we lack the microbiota that produce the vitamins for us. For example many B vitamins are produce by our microbiota, vitamin K2, B12, folate and thiamine.

Microbiome produce some nutrients we need.

Can you really trust WHO as a source for health information?

 

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am a lousy editor.

We have to ask ourselves since the U.S. government agencies have been making many claims in areas of health, chronic illness and disease , many illnesses have become rampant. Autoimmunity, obesity, cancer and other forms of chronic illness have reached such levels world wide that they now say they are epidemics. If the U.S. government and WHO knew what they were talking about wouldn’t these things be decreasing? Most infectious diseases had been almost wiped out before the introduction of vaccinations. So we have to ask ourselves what has brought about not only a resurgence of infectious disease but even more virulent forms of these diseases? If the U.S. government and WHO knew what they were talking about and if what they claim is true society should be getting healthier but instead infant mortality his increased in many areas of the world especially the industrialized world and life expectancy has been declining. In many areas grand parents are having to raise their grand children because often times they are out living their children now. We need to ask why are these things happening. Why has mental illness reached epidemic levels? First we need to learn about the organizations involved especially WHO.
WHO has a history of corruption and manipulation. They have been caught lying in order to benefit themselves. Creating false scares to promote corporate interest. The corruption within WHO may even surpass the corruption at the CDC, IDSA, USDA and FDA. WHO also has a history of racism and sexism. WHO crushes whistle blowers so those who work there have now resorted to using anonymous emails. That is an act of desperation showing how bad things have become. Just as the U.S. government works to cover up and hide the corruption or outright ignoring it , WHO far surpasses the U.S. with the dirty tactics they use to hide the corruption.

They have become a sounding board for corporate interest just as the U.S. government has and they do not look out for the people but they look out for those in positions of power and the wealthy. Because of this just as many government agencies in the U.S. have become threats to the world health WHO has most likely become the number one threat to world health by promoting things known to harm others in the interest of the wealthy and the big corporation.

When WHO does research if it does not match the findings of the corporations that heavily fund WHO they will change their standards and methods in order to get their research to match the results of their corporate sponsors. The pharmaceutical industry heavily sponsors WHO and WHO often consults with them for advice. Most pharmaceutical science has been shown to be impossible to duplicate by independent research which means it is fake or flawed. The pharmaceutical industry has been caught doing fraudulent research many times and have even been caught ghost writing research. The worst part of it is many U.S. government agencies knew of this and worked with the pharmaceutical industry to cover it up.

Who has been used to boost the sales of things known to do more harm then good. They contributed to the world wide opoiod epidemic. WHO was found to be involved in promoting sugar for the sugar industry which we know it has been linked to heart disease and obesity and many other types of illnesses.

Corruption starts at the top down. So WHO is only part of the corruption problem because it trickles down into the medical industry. Just as in the U.S. most government agencies suffer from a corporate take over WHO also has this problem. So they no longer promote health but promote what will benefit their corporate stakeholders. Because of the corruption WHO has become the biggest threat to world health.

WHO is heavily funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Knowing how corrupt WHO is , knowing how corrupt most U.S. government agencies and government agencies around the world are we should be very cautious who we trust on vaccine information. WHO and others heavily promote vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Many at WHO profit heavily from the sales of pharmaceutical. The pharmaceutical industry heavily funds WHO. WHO’s history of corruption and of supporting corporate interest is well known and has been proven. They are not promoting world health they are promoting the wealth and dominance of corporations.

This link is an accurate source of information on vaccines. https://www.nvic.org . I have also put a list of links together on this blog post to accurate and reliable information on vaccines. https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2019/03/06/truth-about-vaccine-safety-and-the-measles-vaccine/

All medical treatment comes with side effects. It is very important to learn the risk vaccines carry because many of them list death as a side effect. Many governments no longer require the side effects and ingredients to be listed on vaccine inserts. Many vaccines contain aborted fetal tissue and animal proteins which have been shown to cause autoimmunity. Who has experimented on people without informing them. They have a history of serving their corporate sponsor and putting people at risk.

https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m734

If you read this blog post I have done I show that vaccinations do not prevent disease they cause and spread disease. This explains a lot of the illness we see now and why children are sick pretty much from the day they are born. The pharmaceutical industry gets them on a medical hamster wheel so they have repeat customers for life. There is no money to be made in a healthy society and if those in power are healthier they would be able to more easily control and manipulate those they have power over. https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/06/17/vaccinations-spread-and-cause-disease/

Now consider that the pharmaceutical industry also own the biotech industry. Genetically modified foods have been shown to have a dramatic negative impact on our health. It is why diseases involving the gut are rampant now. So if the pharmaceutical industry does not destroy your health with their drugs or vaccines then they will create a customer with the foods they supply most people with.

It is not the mold or oxalates.

Written by Lee Stevenson, sorry I am a lousy editor. I have a book on Amazon I have published on oxalates. I tried to summarize things to help guide people so they could overcome issues with oxalates. It is my only source of income presently. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMJFMQKF

We need to stop blaming mold oxalates and other things. People should be asking themselves why did these things not bother people in the past? I am old enough to remember when nothing bothered me mold , oxalates or anything. In the 90s that changed. I knew something was wrong but I did not know what. There is oxalates in all our food , the only foods that could create problems are the super high oxalate ones like spinach if you ate it every day. The ones causing the health problems (pharmaceutical , biotech and health industry) have to love that people are turning to them for answers when they are the very ones causing all the chronic illness. To me that would be like a dog who has an abusive owner turning to the owner to try and avoid the abuse.

The younger ones are used to things making them ill. They most likely believe it is normal and have been taught to brush it off. Many of us remember when food energized you and you felt good after eating. In the 90s that all changed they started using toxins in our foods like transfat , GMOs with their BT Toxins, and the farm chemicals used on them. Most additives in food have not been properly tested for safety and they are finding they dramatically effect the health of the gut and many can cause autoimmunity. Mold illness, food allergy and sensitivities, autoimmunity all these are being blamed on genetics. These things were rare when was young.

Now add the increase in vaccinations which are loaded with excitotoxins that stay in the body causing permanent damage that they blame on genetics. They are known to cause food intolerance and autoimmunity.

Now add pharmaceutical medications and medical errors to that and you can see why chronic illness has become epidemic. Most pharmaceuticals if taken long enough can cause permanent damage to the body and most of them alter the gut in one way or another.

We are sensitive to oxalates now because all the things mentioned above damage our guts and can lead to autoimmunity. Our guts become more porous letting oxalates enter our blood stream, our oxalate degrading gut bacteria get destroyed by the toxins farther adding to the problems. Then the toxins create metabolic issues that can cause the body to create endogenous oxalates. This sets a lot of negative feedback loops into place that must be broken. Everyone is viewing oxalates as a problem. The only time they are a problem when healthy is when you consume more then the mechanism in place in your body can handle. For example rhubarb leaves are toxic because the oxalate levels are higher than what even a healthy body can handle. We need to restore function and health to the mechanisms in our bodies that protect us from those things. Oxalates are in almost all food it cannot be avoided. Some hybrid plants have been produced to increase oxalate content because it helps deter pest so some food is to blame but learn to identify which ones have been hybrid to produce increased amounts of oxalates and avoid those.

All this also applies to mold and mold illness. I knew people who lived in extremely moldy environments when I was younger. Mold illness is a smoke screen for what the real problems is. It is chemical injury from our food , vaccines and modern medicine with the pharmaceuticals. They have to love that people get caught up on the hamster wheels to the point they get blinded to what the real problem is.

You cannot heal until you address what is causing you to be sensitive to things in the first place. I didn’t mention Lyme but Lyme and other tick born illness require the body to be in a systemic state of inflammation to cause infection. So the title could have said It is not the mold or Lyme. I recovered from my Lyme when I stopped consuming foods that cause systemic inflammation and stayed away from pharmaceutical products that caused systemic inflammation.

Time to end the ridiculous Candida, SIBO and H Pylori myths.

 

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I am not the best editor.

There are many myths that have been on the net for quite a while concerning candida, sibo and H Pylori. If you are suffering from them it is a symptom and an indication that other health problems need addressed. It is a case of good gone bad.

 

Candida and H Pylori are commensal that turn pathogenic when something goes wrong in the body.

https://academic.oup.com/femsyr/article/15/7/fov081/641997?fbclid=IwAR1jJrW1TcEbouOZtZC-8pJgZcNJmUQ2HuZABb0CpjQ2wLVHCuO5sPmAGis

First thing we need to mention is that alkalizing actually feeds candida and other unwanted microbes. Also things that cause Candida to go pathogenic can also cause SIBO. So if you have Candida you most likely have SIBO also.

https://mbio.asm.org/content/2/3/e00055-11?fbclid=IwAR0Q82Ed_d4ByWgsnT5cu_LBMZLg3t_lEocrCEAFSLysY0KS0kLza4dU0gg

Those with inhibited vitamin D receptors and inhibited citric acid cycle can get kind of stuck in a state of ketosis which can increase the risk of candida turning pathogenic.

Antibiotics, eating GMOs and the high glyphosate levels found in our food is what is causing so many digestive problems now days. The should only be taken if absolutely necessary. Out of all of them glyphosate is one of the worst. So in order to heal one must do their best to avoid these things.

Not only are antibiotics and glyphosate causing gut dysbiosis and candida overgrowth, they are causing other microbes to become very pathogenic.

https://mbio.asm.org/content/6/2/e00009-15

You have to balance your gut microbiota. To much of one or another can cause problems. Too many of one or another can make you very ill. Many will take the same strains of probiotics daily which will cause them to become out of balance. When this happens a person will become very ill.

Genetically modified foods can actually make our gut microbiome a pesticide factory.

If you feel like you are intoxicated you may need molybdenum because candida and other commensals that turn pathogenic can actually make you become intoxicated. Many feel bad after they eat fruit and believe it is because of the sugar. It is not they have too many bacteria producing these toxins. Vitamin B6 and B12 also help with this.

Those who suffer from this may have lactic acidosis instead of alkalosis. I got to experience the pleasure of both because I over compensated from my lack of research and believing the many myths that are out there about candida. I see many who get on hamster wheels and cannot heal because they believe the myths about candida and sibo.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214426914000718?fbclid=IwAR3XxLuAknVLvWSwR8HTXL4EDjOvqlJFnhdygZ9Jkh8KiqZwPNM3dz52qFo

This is very good information about it but they incorrectly call folate folic acid. Folic acid is man made and very toxic to the body. Folate is natural and very difficult to OD on. It does not take much folic acid to have a negative impact on the body.

Our gut bacteria protect each other and secrete and enzyme that protects them from Reactive Oxygen Species. When the above mentioned causes a loss of those bacteria then the other gut bacteria is defenseless and also dies.

https://www.holistichelp.net/blog/candida-sibo-or-h-pylori/

Candida and SIBO can increase ammonia levels in the body. Also metabolic issues can cause high ammonia levels which will cause Candida to go from commensal to pathogenic. If this happens H Pylori will go from commensal to pathogenic. You cannot get them to go back to commensal unless you get your ammonia levels down. The PH of the digestive system is supposed to be acidic. High ammonia levels will cause it to become alkaline making it even more difficult to balance our gut microbiome. When our digestive system becomes alkaline it causes our good gut microbes to become reduces and it makes us more prone to bad. Also our sulfur digesting and methane producing become more numerous will start causing problems with our BH4 and CBS pathways. To break the cycle we must support the metabolic pathways effected and reduce our consumption of meat and high sulfur foods for about three months. Once candida turns pathogenic it will actually contribute to the digestive system and even the bladder becoming alkaline which will make it and other bad microbes increase more rapidly.

Saccharomyces Cereviciae also known as brewers yeast help reduce candida and other bad gut microbes. It cannot live in the body long though so has to be taken until the bad microbes are no longer a problem. It is also known as bakers yeast. People falsely believe yeast and candida are realated. Candida is a fungus brewers yeast or bakers yeast is a bacteria. I do not know why they are calling candida a yeast infection because it is a fungus infection.

Bicarbonate rich mineral water can help reduce ammonia levels. I did not have access to this so I used a tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate in a cup of water about three times a week sometimes more depending on how my ammonia levels were. It worked great for reducing ammonia levels.

Calcium D gluturate helps reduce ammonia, endotoxins and mold toxins. It should only be taken about three times a week because overstimulating glucuronidation can deplete very important enzymes and then we can no longer detox these substances.

Beta Glucan can be found in mushrooms and organic oatmeal. It helps fight candida and many other pathogens.
Beta glucans modulate the immune system helping to normalize it. Many pathogens will cause an over active immune response which helps to stealth them from the immune system. This helps to enhance the immune response to a pathogen. I have posted on beta glucan if you want to learn more.

Those suffering from this will develop higher ammonia levels when they eat meat. Branched chain amino acids may be a good alternative for a source of protein. You must make sure they do not contain phenylalanine. Phenylalanine increases ammonia levels in the body when we have CBS or BH4 issues. Meat and potatoes are high in phenylalanine.

This is why it is very important to get polyphenols, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides in our diets. It feeds our beneficial bacteria which promotes better health. There are myths about the sugars in foods like fruits and vegetables feeding candida when it becomes pathogenic but the opposite is true. Much of the false information out there drives me to believe that the pharmaceutical companies put it out there to keep people on a hamster wheel of poor health so they will have a steady customer. If we lack certain microbiota we may have to introduce foods slowly and increase our intake as the microbes start increasing. It can take months for some to get back to normal levels.

Those Not helping the ones effected by chronic illness will not be helped on God’s great day of judgment.

Written by Lee Stevenson. Sorry I did not edit it but I am very busy trying to figure out how to find a source of income, I have been trying to find a way to make money with my limited resources so I do not have much time for editing.

Vaccine injury, Lyme disease and chronic illness from the BT Toxins and glyophosate used in GMOs are the most common forms of chronic illness now days but Lyme sufferers are the most looked down on and most discriminated against. As they judge us they also will be judged on Gods great day.

(Matthew 7:1-5) 7 “Stop judging that you may not be judged; 2 for with the judgment you are judging, you will be judged, and with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you. 3 Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye but do not notice the rafter in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ when look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to remove the straw from your brother’s eye.

Lyme needs systematic inflammation to take out the immune system. Our environment and food is so toxic that it is causing systematic inflammation in people. The OspA is a funfal antigen that is used in bioweapons, vaccinations and many pathogens have somehow developed the ability to produce a variety of outer surface proteins that are similar to the OspA fungal antigen. My question is how did they suddenly develop this ability? Now add this with the well known fact vaccinations also cause systematic inflammation and you can see why so many are developing chronic illness from tick born disease. Ask yourself what has changed to cause so much chronic illness now days? Now I am going to describe what I experienced.

Fortunately we have Carl Tuttle on our side and his pursuit of justice and fairness is relentless. He does not let up. I am glad he is on our side and not theirs. I would not want to be on the opposing side of him. He is thorough with his research and knows what he is talking about. He has been amazing. Those suffering from mysterious illness that they cannot explain should read this. This is a medical professional describing her experience in getting diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease.

https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf/u/23804038?cs_tk=Aa50gapTNyDGCxZmN1wA-1Zm1fmnEl69rt_9r7wtrA%3D%3D&utm_campaign=9fe2604cf8a245db9d0c28c6047d9430&utm_medium=email&utm_source=petition_update&utm_term=cs

If you do not have Lyme you are one insaect bite, or one sexual partner away from your life being destroy. There are many methods Lyme can be transmitted. You can carry it for decades then one vaccination, too many GMOs or too many toxins and you will experience what this medical professional did. They first try to prescribe Psych meds. Then they ignore you and tell you not to come back to their office you have to jump from one doctor to another and all of them will do the same exact things. This woman had a lacerated meniscus and swollen knee. This was my first symptoms and happened exactly like it happened to her only when they went in to repair my meniscus they discovered weird calcium deposits on my muscles and ligaments. they removed them and my muscle spasms went away for a while and I could use my leg. Then slowly this started happening throughout my body.

Then over the years different joints including my fingers would swell and get very sore. They told me I had gout or arthritis. All doctors had the same reactions when the test come back negative for both. So their next reaction was because I believe something was wrong with my body I was imagining things and it was causing my body to react this way. So again they tried to prescribe me psych meds. Then just before I become bedridden many of my joints started developing cyst around them including my fingers and toes. The pain was beyond anything I could describe. I finally found a doctor who know immediately what it was but said I was so ill that giving me antibiotics my kill me. I thought she forgot about me because I laid for four months. My Facebook friends were teaching me how to heal and I was slowly getting better. Then my new doctor called said she finally found someone who knew how to treat someone who was as ill as I was.

It took me so long to get treated that it destroyed my health, I lost my job and you will be denied disability if you get Lyme. I have watched Lyme sufferers starve to death and become homeless because most peoples family will not research things but will believe the false narratives surrounding Lyme so they offer no help and actually do things to try and force use into doing things we are not capable of doing. I lost everything I had even my tools. To eat and to get medical treatment I had to sell everything I had. There are many Lyme suffers Laying bedridden right now with family that will not help them and treat them horrible because of the false narratives out there.

God does not accept ignorance as an excuse when the truth is easily available so all those involved, even those who choose to remain ignorant neglect those suffering will be held accountable on Jehovah’s great day.

I have covered why many die before getting diagnosed with Lyme in another blog post.

https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/12/15/why-most-die-before-getting-a-diagnosis-of-lyme-disease/

This is why there cannot be a real Lyme test.

https://badlymeattitude.com/2018/08/08/why-there-cant-be-a-real-lyme-test/

Ticks are not the only methods of Lyme transmission other biting insects can transmit it. It can be transmitted from mother to child, It can also be transmitted sexually. Many who have gotten Lyme do not remember getting bitten by a tick because most likely they were not bitten by a tick but became infected through other means.

God sees what they are doing and will hold them accountable.

Jeremiah 8:“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
9 The wise men shall be put to shame;they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord,
so what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to others
and their fields to conquerors,because from the least to the greatest everyone is greedy for unjust gain; from prophet to priest,everyone deals falsely.
11 They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed;they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,says the Lord.

2Peter 2:7 and if He delivered righteous Lot, vexed with the filthy conduct of the wicked

8 (for that righteous man, having dwelt among them seeing and hearing, was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their unlawful deeds)—

9 then the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished,

10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise governance. Presumptuous are they and selfwilled; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities,

11 whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not, and shall utterly perish in their own corruption,

13 and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceptions while they feast with you,

14 having eyes full of adultery and who cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls; their hearts they have exercised with covetous practices; accursed children!

15 They have forsaken the right way and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages ofunrighteousness,

16 but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with a man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried by a tempest, for whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh and through much wantonness those who had clean escaped from those who live in error.

19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.

Proverbs 21:He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered.

Micah 3:4 Then they will cry out to the LORD, But He will not answer them Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.

(Psalm 12:5)  5 “Because the afflicted are oppressed, Because of the sighing of the poor, I will rise up to act,” says Jehovah. “I will save them from those who treat them with contempt. . .

(Proverbs 28:24-27) 24 Whoever robs his father and mother and says, “It is not wrong,” Is a partner of the man who causes ruin. 25 The greedy person stirs up dissension, But whoever relies on Jehovah will prosper. 26 Whoever trusts in his own heart is stupid, But the one who walks in wisdom will escape. 27 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, But the one who closes his eyes to them will receive many curses.

Inflammation is the cause of chronic illness and infection. To heal you must address inflammation.

 

 

Written by Lee Stevenson not edited though. To tired to edit it.

 

This is not medical advice I am posting this for educational and informational purposes.

Inflammation does serve a purpose. It is involved in healing and immune response in the body. But excess inflammation can lead to chronic illness, immune dysfuction, and mental illness. Inflammation and nutrient deficiencies can lead to infection which cause and add to the inflammation and immune dysfunction. Imbalance in B or T cells can cause chronic inflammation, chronic inflammation can cause an imbalance in B and T cells. They are tightly connected to each other. I posted on autoimmunity with information on balancing the immune system. Reducing inflammation is also important to maintain homeostasis if we are chronically ill.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5449453/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4416069/

There are many types of cytokines in the body and many types of inflammation. If the cause is not addressed it can lead to chronic illness, autoimmunity and chronic pain. Inflammation disables the immune system and many metabolic pathways needed to heal. It can cause us to become prone to infection from microbes that are usually beneficial to the body. Inflammation can lead to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and death.

T Cell imbalance and inflammation are the commonality in autoimmune diseases this includes interstitial cystitis, arthritis, hardening of the arteries, obesity, lupus the list goes on and on. You must restore balance to the immune system and reduce inflammation to heal.

If you have sulfation issues or problems with lipid metabolism you cannot heal you need to get them straightened out. Most things I mention I have posted information on things that will help correct them. If we have issues with lipid metabolism then our bodies cannot use cholesterol effectively which effects the function of the brain, heart and digestion. This is a good video with information on their importance.

https://www.ihealthtube.com/video/will-forever-change-how-you-view-cholesterol-and-heart-health

These are my summarized note on metabolic issues. They have to be addressed in order to achieve homeostasis. Many of these issues I posted more detail in other post.

I will mention things that heal the gut but I covered it in more detail in this blog post.

Many will take vitamin D3 to reduce inflammation but this can in some instances make things worse. Excess levels of vitamin D can cause high blood calcium levels which can result in oxalate formation. Those who have sarcoidosis which is an inflammatory disease that effects the organs have high levels of vitamin D3. I have seen many develop this when they have gotten and infection. This leads me to believe there are issue with the vitamin D receptor because problems with the vitamin D receptor will make us prone to illness. Those with sarcoidosis should avoid vitamin D until they get the issues causing the high vitamin D levels resolved. This is caused by upregulation of Cyp27b1 enzyme , the high levels of vitamin D inhibit the vitamin D receptor. This results in vitamin D binding to the Pregnane X receptor. This causes bile to be metabolized quicker reducing the amount of bile produced, this also causes issues with lipid metabolism resulting in lipid accumulation in the liver. Many of the symptoms caused by this are common in those with inflammatory bowel diseases. Make me believe there is a common tie. Maintaining our vitamin D levels is important but those with sarcoidosis probably should not take vitamin D3 but if they supplement it should be regular vitamin D like what is found in fish oil.

Leaky gut and inhibited bile production can lead to food intolerances. I posted on correcting these. Food intolerances cause inflammation and autoimmunity if not corrected.

https://kresserinstitute.com/little-known-connection-leaky-gut-gluten-intolerance-gallbladder-problems/

We need to ask ourselves why food sensitivities, food intolerances , gluten intolerance, gliaden intolerance and many other problems that used to be rare are now very common? What is causing the epidemic?

Antibiotics have been linked to causing all those illnesses and you will see in this post how. Fluoroquinolone is one of the most dangerous antibiotic of all there are people who have been permanently disabled by fluroquinolones. The inflammation they cause to the body and damage is very very difficult to repair. If we do something reckless that cost people their lives we would go to jail. The pharmaceutical industry is frequently falsifying data, ghost writing studies and even paying people to lie about their products safety. The government has often times been caught colluding with the pharmaceutical industry to hide the harm they do. Why the double standard? Why is no one held accountable for the harm they do? Often times their drugs are what sets people up for chronic illness.

This is an example of a bad article. The advice may seem good but they mention spinach which if not cooked it will cause inflammatin because it is high oxalate. It needs to be boiled and the water dumped to reduce oxalates. It recommends fermented foods. Fermented foods are high histamine and if a person dealing with inflammation or high histamines eat fermented foods it will cause inflammation instead of reduce it. They also recommend high sulfur foods which normally would be very healthy but those with sulfation issues or gut dysbiosis who have high levels of sulfur digesting bacteria will become sicker and develop inflammation and high oxidative stress levels. I have posted on oxidative stress, and sulfation. Oxidative stress causes inflammation and can lead to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Increasing T regulatory cells helps with type 1 diabetes. Our gut microbiome regulate our T regulatory cell levels. I have posted on how to increase them. They regulate the health of our whole bodies even our bone health. I have posted throughout my blog on our microbiota and how each one effects our health. T regulatory cells prevent autoimmunity and excessive inflammation.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5762128/

If we do not address our gut imbalance it can lead to B cell lymphoma. We need to increase the microbiome that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. I posted on other post which ones accomplish that.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3718495/

High resistin is blamed for causing diabetes type 2 and cardiovascular disease. Infection, leaky gut and oxidative stress can cause high resistin levels. It is usually an issue in the gut. It can also be caused by zinc deficiency. A person with zinc deficiencies will have a poor sense of taste or smell, a poor appetite, experience weight loss, whites spots on finger nails and night blindness. High resistin levels is actually a symptom not the cause but just like most allopathic medicine they view the symptom as the cause. Resistin helps protect the body from endotoxins. High levels indicate leaky gut or infection. Zinc deficiency also causes high TH17 levels which is common in lupus and other autoimmune diseases. High levels of endotoxins damage the brain.

Endotoxins cause the blood brain barrier to become porous.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24604078

High endotoxins cause the body to release inflammasomes which activate Gasdermin. Gasdermin causes pyropoptoses. Instead of the cell dying in the normal way through apotosis which give the body a chance to clear the debris out with pyropoptose the cell erupts spewing material out. If this occurs enough times the body cannot keep up with the process of cleaning debris out and metabolic pathways can become blocked and it can add to the inflammation and toxic burden in the body. It is believed this occurs to control infection. This shows why it is important to heal leaky gut and to get our lipopolysaccharide levels down and reduce inflammasomes. Stimulating autophagy helps reduce inflammasomes. Mitochondrial dysfunction and damage can also activate inflammasome so glyphosate and many drugs especially fluorquinolones can cause this to occur. Arglabia found in species of artemisia inhibit inflammasomes. Resveratrol inhibits inflammasomes. Activating CB2 receptor reduces inflammasomes. I posted on plants that contain cannabinoids that activate CB2.

Since resistin protects us and if you read my post on cholesterol you will see it also protects us, what does allopathic medicine do. They see the resistin as something that needs reduced which would further add to the health problems but that is ok they will find a drug to treat those symptoms also. Allopathic medicine is not about treating the cause but about treating the symptoms. Here is an example here. Resistin protects from the damage of endotoxins and also from the damage statins do. Their solution try to find a way to reduce resistin. Oh great just what a person needs even more health problems.

There are many things that cause inflammation and metabolic issues. This results in mold sensitivity. If you are sensitive to mold it is a symptom not the cause. Most mold the body can detox easily until something goes wrong. There are molds that are dangerous but you would have to breath large quantities of them in directly. The white mold that grows on rotting wood that looks like a spider web is one of those molds. Glucuronidation and sulfation are not mentioned in this article but if they are inhibited they also can cause a person to be sensitive to mold. We have to ask ourselves people have lived around mold for centuries and it did not cause problems before. What has changed? Our environment and food is now toxic. Vaccinations damage the body. Our bodies are being pushed to the max when it comes to detoxing.

In the U.S. over farming and the use of glyphosate has cause nutrient deficiencies. Over farming depletes minerals from the soils. Glyphosate chelates minerals from the soil and is high in our food supply and chelates minerals from our bodies and kill many of our beneficial microbes in our gut. Our microbes produce some of the vitamins we need especially the B vitamins. Heavy antibiotic use can cause us to become deficient in B vitamins from the loss of our microbiome that produce the B vitamins for us. They have started fortifying our food to compensate for the loss of nutrients. The problem is they use a type of iron that the body cannot easily use, many have toxic levels of iron in their bodies now which causes excess oxidative stress and inflammation. They also fortify our food with folic acid which is man made and toxic to the body. Folate is natural but many do not know the difference including many medical professionals. I have even seen research papers incorrectly interchange the use the words folate and folic acid. High levels of folic acid causes cancer and damages the brain. High levels of folate the natural vitamin prevents cancer and protects the brain. Knotgrass increase lipocalin 2 which helps to restore iron homeostasis. Lactoferrin also helps restore iron homeostasis. Lipocalin can be low in malabsorption but is high during infection.

Processed sugar has been found to cause inflammation that can lead to obesity and heart disease. Fructose is much worse then sugar. But when I looked at studies on those products in their natural forms they did not have ill effects. So apparently our bodies were not meant to have them in purified forms. It doesn’t help that most sugar and fructose is made from GMOs and can contain glyphosate.

The cannabinoid system is important in maintaining our bodies health. Our gut microbiome modulate it. There are many plants that contain them I have posted on cannabinoids.

https://www.ebiomedicine.com/article/S2352-3964(17)30003-8/fulltext

The omega 3 to omega 6 ratio can effect our cannabinoid system. In the U.S. we consume to much Omega 6 . When Omega 6 levels become higher then Omega 3 levels it can have a negative impact on the cannabinoid system.

https://functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/top-signs-you-may-have-oxalate-sensitivity/

Oxalates can also cause us to become sensitive to phenols the very nutrients we need to reduce inflammation will now make us ill. They inhibit sulfation which can cause phenols to build up in our bodies. Glyphosate, mercury and vaccine injury can also cause inhibited sulfation. I have posted on correcting sulfation.

https://www.anniehelpsyou.com/blog/item/2-are-phenol-oxalate-sensitivities-causing-your-health-problems

To add insult to injury oxalates can cause kidney stones and gallstones one their own. They also cause inflammation which can inhibited bile flow and cause problems in the gallbladder which can lead to gall stones. Bile is involved in cholesterol homeostasis so when it because inhibited cholesterol and fats in the body become dis-regulated. When bile is inhibited it breaks the balance of the gut up and will cause an imbalance in our gut bacteria leading to dysbiosis or inflammatory bowel diseases.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2774219/

Vasoactive intestinal peptide is usually low in those who have malabsorption issues from inflammatory bowel. When low a person will have difficulty gaining weight.

When lipids become dis-regulated it can cause an increase in eicosanoids which are inflammatory. When this happens healthy oils like Omega 3s become inflammatory and Omega 6 will cause inflammation. So we must address metabolic issues that will interfere with the proper metabolism of fats to reap the benefits of fats. Cod liver oil works very good for reduing eicosanoid type inflammation. I get cod liver oil that has lemon juice which will keep it from oxidizing. Cod liver oil is also good for the brain.

Excess NOD2 causes inflammation and can damage the renal system. Infection, and leaky gut can cause high NOD2 levels. This increases inflammation in the intestinal tract leading to inflammatory bowel. Our gut bacteria modulate NOD2. NOD2 recognizes our gut microbiome and will not harm it. Excess inflammation can interfere with toll like receptors which can prevent NOD2 from being able to recognize our good gut microbiome. There are gut microbiome that stimulate IL-12 a loss of these microbiome causes a loss of the ability for NOD2 to recognize our good microbiome. Many metabolic issues can interfere with the proper function of NOD.

There are many causes of excess inflammation . The major ones now days is vaccinations and farm chemicals in our foods, especially glyphosate, bt toxins found in GMOs also cause inflammation.

Many illnesses have been linked to inflammation inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many metabolic diseases. Many things that contain the OspA cause inflammation and the OspA disables the immune system. The only way the body can remove the OspA proteins is through autophagy, using and the Heat Shock Protein 70. Inflammation can inhibit those. Many vaccines contain the OspA along with some mycoplasmas, tick born illnesses, EBV and some molds contain it.

Inulin and oligofructose reduces many types of inflammation by increasing bifidobacteria. Those with dysbiosis have to ease into things like this and slowly increase intake as their gut microbiome increase that digest this type of fiber. It takes about 3 months for most types of gut microbes to get fully established. If our gut bacteria are not established then we can get severe bloating and gas from consuming too much. Also in order to get our gut bacteria balanced we need a variety of foods in order to get them balanced. Over consumption of inulin and oligofrutose can also cause dysbiosis by increasing levels of inulin and oligofructose microbes to high causing an imbalance in our microbiome. An imbalance in our gut microbiome causes allergies, inflammation, food intolerances, and autoimmunity.

https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/129/7/1402S/4722577

I have listed in other blog post on the microbiome that protect us from inflammation, from autoimmunity and from infection. They also modulate our genes and keep our organs throughout the body healthy and communicate with various parts of the body and even teach the immune system how to fight infection.

Lipoxins are very important for reducing inflammation so it is very important to support their function. Lipoxins cannot remove inflammation until the cause of the inflammation has been removed. If we have metabolic issues or issues in fat metabolism the body cannot produce lipoxins which will increase inflammation. Lions Mane mushroom increases lipoxin. Low lipoxin levels cause asthma and allergies. Consuming Omega 3 and medium chain fatty acids increases lipoxins.

5-Lox inhibitors help with illnesses caused by high eicosanoids like asthma and allergies. Caffeic acid inhibits 5-Lox, it can be found in coffee, thyme, basil, cinnamon, star anise, red wine, black chokeberry, barley, rye and apricots. Lichen inhibits 5-lox with cetetia monachrom being the most potent. Tithonia Diversifolia and Viguiera Robust inhibit 5-Lox and Cox-1 which would help with those who have systematic inflammation.

If excess oxidative stress and inflammation and the things causing them are not addressed it leads to neurological damage. Vaccinations, glyphosate and other farm chemicals that are high in our food supply cause systematic inflammation. Heavy metal also causes systematic inflammation. I have posted on detoxing which helps reduce their effects.

Vaccine inserts will state that brain inflammation is a side effect of the vaccine. They no longer call it autism because vaccines cause many types of brain injury so they us a blanket term encephalopathy to cover a variety of brain injuries vaccinations cause. Tylenol also causes brain inflammation and liver damage because it depletes glutathione so it enhances the inflammatory effects of vaccines. Two things all with autism have in common are brain inflammation (encephalopathy) and autoimmunity. Both things vaccinations and glyphosate have been shown to cause.

This is why high homocysteine levels lead to inflammatory diseases , it has also been linked to IBD. Often times it is nutrient deficiencies that causes high homocysteine levels. Eating more raw fruit, vegetables and leafy greens can help reduce high homocysteine levels. Also if a person is deficient in B12 which is produced by our gut microbiome and B6 they will develop high homocysteine levels. High homocysteine levels can lead to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, excess oxidative stress., issues with glutamate because it acts on the NMDA receptor, it can cause the blood brain barrier to become leaky, and can lead to depression. It can cause hoshimoto’s disease, arthritis, psoriasis, lupus which all indicate high TH17 levels. High homocysteine causes headaches, inflammation in the gums and mouth.

I am not big on drugs because the pharmaceutical industry and even our own government has shown they can not be trusted when it comes to drug safety. They have often times caused many death from marketing drugs that they falsely claimed to research for safety and the government has many times been caught colluding with them to hide the harm being done. But Ebselem is one drug I have seen many independent studies showing it’s effectiveness at reducing oxidative stress, inflammatory disease and reversing autoimmunity. Unfortunately most governments only allow it to be prescribed to those who are mentally ill.

Vaccinations, heavy metals, stress, toxins, farm chemicals in our food, gut dysbiosis, glyphosate and glufonisate increases zonulin levels which causes leaky gut. This results in autoimmunity, allergies and food intolerances which leads to systematic inflammation. There are test that can help identify leaky gut. It is not always obvious when someone has leaky gut. High zonulin levels also cause interstitial cystitis and a leaky blood brain barrier.

There are many toxins in our food and enviroment that cause inflammation. If we do not detox them and leave the inflammation continue then it can lead to autoimmunity and cancer. Oxidative stress causes inflammation so the source of the oxidative stress needs address, treating the inflammation would only be treating the symptoms. Cancer is a symptom of illness but not the cause, it is a symptom of an underlying illness. I have also posted on cancer in more detail.

Tea tree oil works great for reducing histamines, and substance P in the skin. It reduces inflammation and has great disinfectant properties. It is too strong to use straight. I found adding about 5 drops to 8 ounces of Jojoba oil worked great. Jojoba oil stimulates hair growth and reduces inflammation. It also will disinfect , it even kills fungus.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12452873

Infection causes inflammation, if systematic inflammation is not addressed it can lead to interstitial cystitis. It is very difficult to recover from. I am in remission with no help from allopathic medicine they just made things worse. They will try and prescribe you psych meds and tell you it is in your head like they do with Lyme disease. There are two things I have seen common in the many types of interstitial cystitis. Leaky gut or digestive issues and high inflammatory cytokines. High substance P levels have been found in some types of asthma , autoimmunity and all with interstitial cystitis have high substance P levels. I have posted on substance P. It is a sign of leaky gut or gut dysbiosis.

Infection causes issues with tryptophan this can lead to both malabsorption and interstitial cystitis. I have seen people go years with undetected infections because it was tick born illness and they always over look it. As a matter of fact some studies claim up to 80% of those with interstitial cystitis may have tick born illness that is going undetected. Tick born illness is not what it should be called though because most illnesses ticks transmit can be transmitted by biting insects including Lyme disease. When this happens a person may become sicker when increasing tryptophan levels in their bodies. They must address the cause first. I have posted on healing interstitial cystitis.

There are a lot of farm chemicals in our food. PON1 is needed to detox them. Inflammation inhibits PON1. Reducing inflammation will help with detoxing. Sumac helps to stimulate PON1. Dandelion stimulates DIG1 which detoxes the body. Alternating between them should help to detox.

https://www.selfhacked.com/blog/about-pon1-and-natural-ways-to-increase-it/

Fats which are needed by almost all cells of the body can make inflammation worse if a person has pyrrole issues. If a person has pyrrole issues it is a symptom of a bigger problem porphyria. They will get ill from consuming oils. Medium chain fatty acids is all they should consume until they have addressed it. I have posted on porphyria.

If a person gets mast cell activation syndrome from Lyme there are a number of things people have tried. Supplements worked best for me. I have covered this in my autoimmunity post. When mast cells degranulate they cause high histamines which cause inflammation. It is very important to get them under control and restore homeostasis. We need some histamines to fight infection and for digestion so we do not want to over do it.

If we have leaky gut or tick born illness we can develop high substance P levels. This can cause cell build up in various areas of the body and can block the renal system , blood flow, it can cause brain swelling. When levels get high the skin will burn especially in the scalp and down the spin. The burning with increase at night and can also itch. Substance P levels increase at night. Substance P is used by the body to stimulate healing in the body. Excess substance P can cause excess bone marrow to be produced. I have posted on how to reduce it. When it gets very high brown spots may develop around the hair follicles. Nutrient deficiencies can also cause high substance P levels especially magnesium. This is also why many have leaky gut now days because high substance P levels cause leaky gut. Over farming and the use of glyphosate has caused many to become deficient in magnesium. If high substance P levels are not addressed it can lead to pancreatic damage and even cancer. If substance P levels get high enough it can feel like bugs crawling under and on the skin, I experienced that. I also experienced butt itching which drove me almost to the point of madness.

Cox-2 inhibitors are good for healing the gut and bladder. Cox-2 inhibitors help with some types of asthma and interstitial cystitis. Things that inhbit iNOS would help with interstitial cystitis. They act similar to NSAIDs without the side effects. Remember you do not want to inhibit COX-2 For too long because we need it for healing, once homeostasis is reach it would be a good idea to just take some once in a while. Natural salicitic acid found in willow bark works as well as NSAIDs if a person has sulfation issues it can make them ill, it can also irritate the stomach if over consumed. Myrtus Communis also reduces pain as well as NSAIDs but I have not found any toxicity studies on it. Myrtus communis does work very well for healing the gut. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29303617 . But does not inhibit Cox-2. Cox-2 inhibitors also help heal the gallbladder.

Lysolecithin causes bladder inflammation. Lysolecithin causes systematic inflammation interstitial cystitis, neurological damage and has been implicated as a causative factor in MS. It is needed for autophagy and low levels can cause hardening of the arteries. Lysolecithin is in high amounts in processed foods and enzyme-modified foods. It is also known as Lysophosphatidylcholine. It is also released from cells during inflammation. It can cause bile blockage. The problem is all processed foods are very high in it which raises our bodies levels too high. lysoPC in high amounts damages the mucus membrane of the gut, combined with alcohol it is much worse. Cigarette smoking also causes damage by rasing LP-PLA2 which increases oxidative stress and lysoPC. I cannot find the link to the study but it causes interstitial cystitis through the nerve damage it causes.

Magnolia has a cannabinoid that reduces pain and inflammation, it also helps with inflammatory bowel issues. It stimulates bone growth, and reduces depression by it’s actions on the GABA receptor it also prevents glutamate build up by increasing the hormone that converts glutamate to GABA, It reduces inflammation by inhibition of PPARy and many of the cytokines found in inflammatory bowel diseases. It has been show to be effective against many metabolic disorders. It inhibits blood clotting it is very effective against cancer, it has been know to fight forms of cancer that are drug resistant. Magnolia reduces oxidative stress and helps restore proper lipid function in the body. It has been shown to fight fungus, Hepatitis C and HIV. It helps with hypertension and is and ACE inhibitor. Most species of magnolia are chemically similar.

Flax seed has a cannabinoid similar to thc. It has anti-inflammatory effects, reduces histamines, reduces pain, helps heal the gut. It is high in Omega 3 fatty acids. Flax seed must be crushed because humans cannot digest that has not been crushed. Flax seed is also high in mucilage so helps heal the gut. It balances our gut microbiome. It reduces oxidative stress. It has been found to heal the kidneys and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. It helps with diabetes and normalizes blood sugar levels.It has been shown to restore leptin sensitivity which would prevent obesity. It improves glucose tolerance and gut motility. Flax seed is high in arginine which reduces blood pressure.

Leptin levels increase during infection and is known to be high in those suffering from sepsis. Leptin contributes to the production of inflammatory cytokines and oicosanoids. So if a person has inflammation, allergies, mast cell issues or asthma they may want to avoid leptin until they have those issues corrected.

The type of asthma described in this link is caused by leaky gut. The symptoms they describe are symptoms of leaky gut. The worse a person gut becomes the more allergies they will develop. This can be caused by vaccine injury, farm chemicals in food or toxins like mercury still found in some vaccines. It is necessary to detox and balance the immune system to help with this type of asthma.

Black Sativa seed is another super food. It reduces inflammation and heals the gut. It reduces oxidative stress and is hepaprotective. It helps with proteinuria which is a symptom of porphyria. It has been shown to promote the growth of B cells in the pancreas and helps fight cancer. It helps ease the symptoms of asthma. It helps with neurological damage and drug addiction. It has potent antimicrobial properties. It reduces symptoms of Hoshimoto’s . It helps reduce the symptoms of asthma and mast cell activation syndrome. It reduces histamines. It decreases viral load in those with hepatitis C. It improves memory and breast milk production. It increases IL-10 , which is inhibited by the OspA and disables the immune system. Many things like vaccines, mycoplasma and Lyme contain the OspA which inhibits IL-10. Inhibiting IL-10 disables the immune system. Increasing IL-10 restore proper immune function.

Rutin is a very potent at reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. It helps with diabetes and neurological damage. Fights many types of cancer. It has sedative effects and reduces convulsions. It improves cognitive function. Helps restore pancreatic health. It helps those with high T4 levels by reducing T4 thyroid hormone levels. It prevents excess blood clotting and heals the gut. It reduces histamines and eisonophils which helps with asthma and allergies. It heals the gut and improves gut motility. It stimulates bone growth. It has antimicrobial properties and fights mycoplasma and viral infections. It is a COX-2 inhibitor and has been found to protect from sun damage. It normalizes the immune system and reduces most inflammatory cytokines. It reduces fatigue and is neuroprotective.

Rutin is found in the waxy part of the skins of red apples, white skin of citrus fruit, buckwheat, figs,cherries, apricots, rooibos, and black and green tea are high in rutin. Be careful drinking too much black and green tea. Drinking them excessively can damage the liver. Anything can harm our health if used in excess.

Not eating enough foods effects our gut and is why so many in the western world have gut issues, that along with the BT Toxins in GMOs and glyphosate and other farm chemicals. Search my blog on GMOs and glyphosate and you will see there is a lot of research showing how they destroy the gut and brain. Processed foods are very bad on the digestive system. Once our gut is compromised it starts effecting the health of the whole body resulting in increased mast cell degranulation and inflammation. Digestive enzymes helped me a lot. I chose plant derived enzymes. They reduce inflammation, reduce mast cell degranulation which reduces histamines. They help the food break down and be absorbed by the digestive system. I tried to match the enzymes with the types of foods they broke down so what I was going to eat determined what enzymes I would use. If we are deficient in digestive enzymes we will develop gut dysbiosis, bloating, intestinal inflammation, malabsorption, all things that lead to chronic illness. Farm chemicals which are high in our food supply and processed foods inhibit our digestive enzymes. We also will develop fatigue because it inhibits the bodies ability to produce cellular energy. They help prevent cystic fibrosis and asthma. If inflammation or infection persist it can develop into brochhiectasis which causes excess mucus in the lungs. Brochiectasis can result from inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disease, and allergies also. All things that can be corrected. https://patient.info/health/bronchiectasis-leaflet herbs that help fight infection help with bronchiectasis. Also reduce inflammation and histamines. All things I have covered on my blog. I have covered COPD and asthma in more detail so I will not cover it much here. It is caused by either autoimmune or inflammation.

High levels of H2S producing bacteria in the gut can deplete thioredoxin which results in thiol build up in the body making us sensitive to thiols and causing hormone imbalances. Thioredoxin reduces hydrogen peroxide and reactive oxygen species. Hydrogen sulfide usually reduces oxidative stress and hydrogen peroxide. N-acetylcysteine usually helps when there is excess H2S production. If a person has to many sulfur digesting bacteria when they eat high sulfur foods it will cause an increase in H2S leading to intestinal inflammation. H2S prevents thrombosis and high blood pressure. H2S has been found to be decreased in age related brain degenerative illnesses. Excess H2S production in the intestines can lead to pouchitis because it inhibits gut motility. High levels of H2S causes chronic fatigue syndrome. High levels of H2S inhibit the electron transport chain which is one of the final steps in energy metabolism in the body. Excess H2S can enhance the activity of the NMDA receptor , excessive NMDA receptor activity is common in autism. When there is excess H2S thiyl radicals are produced which effect lipid metabolism.

Choline deficiency or issues with choline metabolism can cause fatty liver, brain dysfunction, neurological damage, inflammation and oxidative stress. I had to deal with choline metabolism issues. You will get indigestion when you consume fats if you have issues with choline metabolism. That could also be a sigh of porphyria. It also causes problems metabolizing fats if you are choline deficient.

I am still uncertain about HDAC inhibitors reducing oxidative stress and increasing things that deal with oxidative stress would be a better route to go. Inhibiting HDAC would be treating the symptoms but not the cause of the illness. Inhibiting it can have such a dramatic effect on the body. HDAC inhibitors have been shown to reduce interstitial cystitis symptoms and symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases, inflammation and cancer. Inhibiting HDAC increases Ogg1 which prevent cancer and oxidative stress. I have posted on the Nrf2 pathways. Activating Nrf2 stimulates Ogg1.

In bladder injury parp is activated. This indicates excess inflammation or excess oxidative stress causing DNA damage because PARP is activated during DNA damage. Excess PARP activation depletes NAD+/ATP which causes cell death. PARP is over activated in some types of cancer. Keep in mind the common ties. Inflammation, what causes it why is it happening? Finding the source and correcting in is how to heal not by treating the symptoms. PARP inhibition can lead to obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.

C-reactive protein causes inflammation. It is a sign of bacteria infection. If C-reactive levels are high for too long it can damage the bladder and lead to chronic illness like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and autoimmunity. C-reactive levels are high in most chronic illness especially heart disease and interstitial cystitis. It is usually caused by infection yet I have seen many go years with high C-reactive levels and refused antibiotic treatment because they are told they do not have and infection. Those with tick born illness and interstitial cystitis are the ones who are the most victimized by the medical community. In order to reduce C-reactive protein levels you must address the cause which means detoxing if it is caused by something like glyphosate, aluminum, mercury or infection. An anti-inflammatory diet helps. Also often times oxidative stress is involved and needs addressed.

If p53 is inhibited ROS increases. This in turn can cause mutant P53 which will have the same effects as inhibited p53. Inflammation inhibits p53. Loss of p53 causes inflammation in the body that becomes unregulated especially in the bladder. Oxidative stress and excess inflammation can inhibit P53 creating a cycle that is difficult to break. Mutated P53 is common in interstitial cystitis and cancer.

This stuff kills cows and sheep and they feed it to us? Really???

Written by Lee Stevenson , sorry I am a lousy editor so there will be error in my grammar.

GMOs are one big lie.

They say we need GMOs because of a shortage of food. That is a lie it is because of greed. Many nations are studying how to deal with the massive amounts of food wastage. They create false fears then offer a false solution.

They claim that BT Toxins in GMOs are safe for human consumption. They say the animals that died from eating them is anecdotal evidence. At what point does it become solid proof? When the corporation lying about it decides it is real evidence ? When the corrupt governments who have been proven to be colluding with the biotech industry to hide the harm they are doing decides the evidence is beyond anecdotal? It has become clear now days that our governments and many of those in them are overcome with greed for power and money. I feel sorry for those who have not been corrupted and are trying to fight for what is right. Why are they not required to test them for safety. Why are they allowed to falsely claim they have been tested when they have not. They claim they have but the studies are so flawed they are invalid. They read more like an advertisement for the biotech industry. Most of the studies they quote to promote GMOs have been retracted or proven to be flawed.

What gets me is the BT Toxin has been found in the human blood stream showing that consuming it does effect the body because the biotech industry claims that cannot happen. They have even found it in the blood streams of infants in mothers wombs. I would like to see if those BT Toxin crystals cause the same ill health effects as oxalates because they are sharp crystal shaped structures. Oxalates cause joint pain especially in the hips, they also cause inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation causes autoimmunity, cancer and chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. I wonder how many out there have joint pain and it is being caused by BT Toxin crystals but since there is no research in it they are probably being told it is in their heads or it is stress. That is allopathic medicines go to solution when they do not have an answer.

BT Toxins have been found to cause genetic alterations in rats that consume them. Since they are making their way into human blood streams there is a good chance that is also occurring in humans. The worst part of it is they are now doing what is called stacking. They are splicing genes from a number of different BT Toxin producing microbes into GMOs making them even more toxic.

There are studies showing the body reacts to BT Toxins the same way the body would react if it was having an allergic reaction. Many believe they are gluten intolerant but it is BT Toxin and glyphosate intolerant that is really the problem. The BT Toxin works by pretty much by destroying an insects gut giving them leaky gut which in humans causes food intolerances and allergies. BT Toxin has been show to deteriorate the mucus membrane in the gut. Now add the toxic effects of glyphosate which does pretty much the same things but can cause gut paresis. BT Toxins have been shown to trigger an inflammatory response in the gut which reduces the gut mucus membrane were our gut microbes that keep us healthy reside. There is no study showing the health effects of this from BT Toxins but there are many studies showing when this happens we develop leaky gut , autoimmunity and chronic inflammatory diseases. Now you can see why inflammatory bowel diseases are rampant now days.

BT Toxin has been found to be toxic to the blood and causes anemia and many other blood disorders. It has been shown to negatively impact the adrenal glands, spleen, liver and kidney. Notice all those types of illnesses have taken a dramatic climb lately.

GMOs have been shown to be nutritionally inferior. When they alter the genes so the plant produces higher amounts of a certain nutrient it causes the plant to produces less of another. The glyphosate and glufonisate they use on them chelate nutrients from the soil and enter our blood stream and chelate nutrients form the body. I believe it is not a coincidence the U.S. government started requiring they fortify food with the very nutrients that those chemicals chelate from the soil and body. The bad part about that is they use synthetic vitamins which are toxic to the body. Folic acid is man made and has been shown to increase the risk of cancer. It builds up in the blood stream causing psychosis and bipolarism because it damages the NMDA receptor. If you search my blog I have posted on it. Folate which is natural has the opposite effects. The sad part is many medical professionals do not know the difference between folate and folic acid. Because they are fortifying foods with iron many in the U.S. have iron toxicity which causes oxidative stress which can lead to cancer and chronic illness and digestive problems.

They have shown that it is possible for the genes from GMOs to transfer horizontally to the gut microbiotia and in animal studies it has happened. Knowing what BT Toxin does to the body can you imagine if our microbiotia is producing BT Toxin adding to the levels of BT Toxin in the bodies of those consuming GMOs. I would like to see someone study that and I would like to see a study on the blood levels of BT Toxins in those who consume GMOs.

GMOs are causing insects and weeds to become resistant to herbicides and pesticides which has increased the need to use those harmful chemicals. This has resulted in the extinction of some insects that polinate. It has brought the monarch butterfly on the verge of extinction and many bees have been put on the endangered species list. Bees are not the only thing that pollinates and the BT Toxin has been killing a variety of pollinating insects.

It is also contaminating the environment because the BT Genes are transferring to plants in the wild. I have posted on how toxic GMOs are if you want to learn more you can read more at this link.

Hundreds of studies showing insects build up a resistance to it which means they are now stacking a variety of BT Toxin genes into the GMO crops making them even more toxic to eat. Cattle and sheep have died from eating GMOs. It had a negative impact on rats fed even low doses of GMOs. The most notable are the changes to the rats intestinal system which matches many unexplained digestive disorders many suffer from now days.

Eat fat to lose weight and be healthy. Time to stop believing the myths.

This is not medical advice I am posting this for educational and informational purposes.

Written by Lee Stevenson.   Edited by no one I am too tired to lol.

People in the U.S. have dramatically reduced their intake of cholesterol and fat. Since then cardiovascular disease, obesity and chronic illness has climbed almost 5 times what it was before the diet change. People need to ask why? Shouldn’t people be healthier by following the government guidelines. As usual you will find the government is wrong again as they often times are.

Sorry I did not summarize this like I have with other post but I am getting tired and I have no source of income and need to try to focus on finding a way to make some money with my limited resources. I am trying to get as many of my notes online as I can but I need to focus on making some money very soon.  to summarize this would take me about 40 hours to provide links with notes by the links take me about 18 hours.

If we have fat metabolism issues or dis-regulation it can cause chronic illness. Fat protects us from inflammation, infection and is very important in healing.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4606863/

Symptoms of fat absorption issues or fat deficiency is sugar and carbohydrate cravings, poor digestion and constipation, fatigue, low hormone levels, dry skin and eyes, intestinal inflammation which will inhibit nutrient absorption, weight gain because polyunsaturated fats are needed to break down fats. Joint pain, vision problems, and depression or poor concentration because the brain is mostly fat. Vitamin deficiency can cause a loss in the ability of the body to use fats. This can be caused by a loss of the microbes in our guts that produce the B12 for us, or from malabsorption. Until I got my gut healed I had to use the type of B12 you put under your tongue so I could absorb B12 better.

There are many industries that get people on a hamster wheel of fear. There is no money in solving a problem but if you keep giving people false hope and they do not do their research and search for the truth they end up on a hamster wheel of false hope getting no where. They will jump from one hamster wheel to the next having their ignorance of things taken advantage of. If you want off the hamster wheels of fear and ignorance learn the truth in matters you are not going to get the truth from the industries who profit from ghost written or fake research papers. There is no money in solving a problem. I watch these people go on fad diets and pay for supplements they will lose weight temporarily but those diets cause the body to go into starvation mode, when they do consume food it will start storing fat so that when it is starving again it will have the reserves it needs the next times starvation occurs. Starvation and fat deprivation are different then fasting. Fasting has many benefits if done correctly under guidance of and experienced naturopath.

High triglyceride levels can indicate excess oxidative stress. It is not caused by excess fat or cholesterol consumption. It is a symptom not the cause. This is why lowering cholesterol and fat intake does not lower the bodies fat and cholesterol content. Also gut imbalance cause by farm chemicals in our food and antibiotics can cause lipid imbalance leading to high triglyceride levels.

If a person is deficient in choline they will experience headaches and may get indigestion when they consume fats. There are also metabolic issues that can prevent the body from properly metabolizing choline that can cause those symptoms when we consume choline.

There is a myth about fat making you fat. There is fat that causes obesity one is man made trans-fat which also causes cardiovascular disease. Inflammation an imbalance or deficiency in our microbiome and metabolic issues can lead to obesity. Fat and carbohydrates do not cause obesity. Neither does laziness I know many obese workers who were very hard workers and I knew many skinny people who sat around doing nothing all day. I mainly want to focus on fats this is a good article on how our gut microbes effect our weight. It is processed carbohydrates that cause health problems and most likely from the things they add to them. The food industry is allowed to add toxins to the food to preserve it and enhance it’s color. They also contain GMOs and the body reacts to BT Toxins found in GMOs the same way it would react if you got food poisoning. Also most of the processed foods are high in glyphosate and glufonisate which have been linked to many types of chronic illness. Another problem with modern diets is the intake of Omega 3 oils and Omega 6 oils is out of balance. Our intake of Omega 3 should be higher then our intake of Omega 6. When they are in balance Omega 6 reduces inflammation. When Omega 6 levels get higher then Omega 3 levels then Omega 6 will cause inflammation. They claim high fat diets and high cholesterol diets cause raised blood cholesterol levels but this has never been proven scientifically and the opposite has been found to be true. Processed carbohydrates have been found to cause weight gain.

Lipid dis-regulation is endothelial dysfunction which can be caused by vaccinations or toxins which causes autoimmunity. Especially those found in GMO foods. Even statins have been known to cause it and cognitive dysfunction. This is why statins have been linked to higher mortality from cardiovascular disease. Autoimmunity can lead to hair loss from dis-regulated lipid metabolism. GMOs and glyphosate used on them causes leaky gut which leads to autoimmune disease. If a person develops issues with lipid metabolism it can cause sterol precursors to build up which inhibit cellular and even mitochondrial function. This causes a sensitivity to sterols including plant sterols.

Transfats like that found in margerine and hydrogenated vegetable oils have been linked to obesity and cardiovascular disease. This was proven shortly after their introduction to the market and yet they still promote them as good for your health. Reducing fat intake does not reduce the risk of heart disease but changing the types of fats we take in does. Reducing consumption of tran-fats and consumption of hydrogenated oil reduces our risk of cardiovascular disease.

Most beef in the U.S. is contaminated with BT Toxins and glyphosate which we consume and then end up with it in our blood streams because grains used to feed them are GMO. Grass fed beef has been shown to be better for our health. This holds true for most animals products those from grass fed actually promote health. What the animal eats is what determines their effects on our health when we consume them.

They are still stuck on the high cholesterol causes heart disease hamster wheel but if you read my blog post on cholesterol and statins you will see those with high cholesterol live longer. This myth got started from a flawed study produced in the 1950’s and had been discredited but the media ran with it and it become accepted as a valid scientific paper even though it was plagued with flaws. The results of that are that the diet in the U.S. changed. People consume for less cholesterol and fat in their diets. This has resulted in something like 5 times the obesity rate and cardiovascular disease. Studies still try to prove that cholesterol levels are linked to heart disease but when you read the studies you can see they have not proven they are linked to heart disease but to prevent attacks from the pharmaceutical industry or even the medical industry who makes millions from this deception they will and comments that are biased even though their studies show there is no link between high cholesterol and heart disease. Almost every cell in our bodies need cholesterol , our heart and brain cannot function without it. It is why statins have been linked to increased cardiovascular disease and mental decline. They deprive the heart, muscles and brain of cholesterol.

Antibiotics and glyphosate along with other farm chemicals can cause leaky gut and gut dysbiosis. This can lead to malabsorption issues. Vaccination increase B cell levels which can cause the same health problems. We need fat to absorb fat soluble vitamins so no matter how much we eat we will not absorb nutrients. When this happens we should switch to using short chain fatty acids because our bodies can readily use them without having to break them down. This causes bile production to become inhibited adding further to the malabsorption because inhibited bile flow also decreases the pancreatic release of digestive enzymes. If we do not eat enough fat we cannot produce bile and it will lead to chronic illness and can result in inflammatory bowel disease.

I have posted on things that can inhibit bile like gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, fat deficiency or pyrrole issues which prevent the body from being able to use fats properly. Issues with the citric acid cycle can also inhibit bile production. If that happens it can cause the bladder to develop infection and will have to be removed. Instead of letting it get to that point address the problems because the bladder is very important for proper health. A person can become deficient in lipase and will not be able to break down fats. If you have had it removed this is a site that has information on how to deal with it. To increase lipase production drink water from volcanic sources. Eat carbohydrates. Exercise increases lipase levels.

Symptoms of lipase deficiency are gallbladder problems, interstitial cystitis, arthritis, heart palpitations, deposits of lipid build up under the skin, allergies and food intolerances, spastic colon, high TH17 levels which causes skin rashes.

Another cause of obesity is hormone imbalance which can be caused by the toxins found in processed foods, farm chemicals which have been found to be high in our food supply and toxins in the containers used to store our food in. Also metabolic issues caused by inflammation, leaky gut or gut dysbiosis can lead to hormone imbalance.

Catalase is known as the longevity enzyme. It protects the cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and toxins. Consuming fat increases catalase. Higher the fat consumption the lower the mortality rate.

Now if you read this research paper fat activates Sirt1 which is known as the antiaging gene. So fat reverses againg. Since the research showing fat causes obesity is full of flaws and missing data then you have to look to find the data and why they left it out. There studies are conditionally biased they do not want people to know how to get healthy. A healthy patient is not a patient so the medical and pharmaceutical industry both lose money. They have no incentive to get people healthy and it is why they only research and treat the symptoms because treating the cause creates a lost customer.

Statins cause alzheimers for the same reason low fat diets do. The brain is made mostly of fat. I cannot believe people have not figured out since fat and cholesterol has been dramatically reduced in the diet in the U.S. obesity, cardiovascular disease and chronic illness has taken a dramatic climb. Where did the myth they cause obesity and cardiovascular disease come from. I have only seen a couple studies and they read more like advertisements for the pharmaceutical industry. They were plagued with conditional bias and opinion which does not belong in research only the facts matter.

Addressing Vitamin D Receptor Issues.

This is not medical advice I am posting this for educational and informational purposes. Naturopathic doctors usually already have this type of knowledge and it would be a good idea to seek one if you are ill.

Vitmain D Receptor.

Homeostasis should always be the goal. If you over do things you can cause just as many health problems as you are trying to address. If we have an inhibited VDR receptor we will develop gut dysbiosis. It is important in maintaining balance of our gut microbiome. Inhibited VDR also causes intestinal inflammation. A person can become deficient in iron and their GABA levels may become low. I have posted in other blog post how to increase GABA. Lactoferrin and Knotgrass help restore iron homeostasis. Knotgrass should not be mistaken for Knotweed they are very different plants.

If the vitamin D receptor becomes inhibited we will develop digestive problems , inhibited bile and malabsorption. We will also develop lipid dysfunction. We can also develop autoimmunity and will be more prone to herpes type virus infections along with tuberculosis. Toxins and infection inhibit the vitamin D receptor especially mercury and glyphosate. I have posted on detoxing. When proper function of VDR is inhibited a person may appear to be deficient in vitamin D.

In some with inhibited VDR taking vitamin D can make them worse they need to address the cause not the symptom. This is usually caused by infection which can inhibit cyp24A1 enzyme.

How to increase Cyp24A1 enzyme activity. Do not over do it because it can cause deficiencies in certain types of vitamin D from causing their depletion. Homeostasis should always be the goal. Decreasing inflammation should also be a priority because inflammation inhibits cyp24A1. Curcumin and resveratrol found in grape seed extract stimulate Cyp24A1. Curcumin chelates iron and should not be used for too long because if used for too long it can cause anemia. Forskolin increases cyp24A1 activity. High FGF-23 levels will inhibit VDR.

Reducing phosphate and adrenal hormones helps reduce FGF-23. Reducing inflammation also decreases FGF-23. They often time recommend ferric citrate to lower potassium which lowers FGF-23 but this can lead to iron toxicity so if used it should be done in moderation. Calcium carbonate and calcium acetate help reduce phosphate levels. Chocolate, soda pop, bottled beverages and beer should be avoided they are high in phosphate. Milk products, beef liver and fish eggs are also high in phosphate. Phosphate binders should be taken with meals.

Loss of VDR receptor can cause hair to become brittle and you may start losing your hair, you can develop osteoporosis, your insulin level may become high while your blood glucose levels will become low. You may develop joint pain and swelling and fibromyalgia like symptoms. You will develop severe bone pain.

Excess vitamin D will cause excess thirst, high oxalate levels, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, muscle fatigue, confusion and weakness.

Zinc, Vitamin K2, Vitamin A, Vitamin E are needed and sulfate which is found in water from volcanic sources. Those who are not sulfating right or have high levels of sulfide in their bodies need sulfate because they will not be able to convert food sources of sulfur and it will make them sicker. Brown seaweed and cod liver oil has many of the nutrients needed by the vitamin D receptor. Sardines and eggs are good sources of vitamin D.

Halogen light, sunlight or far infrared will help detox hormones from the body.

High adrenalin levels can also inhibit the VDR. Adaptogens may help to reduce adrenal hormones. Maca root and suma root helped me. Ashwanga is a very potent adaptogen but be careful because as I stated it is potent. Rhodiola and Eluethero have been shown to be very effective and safe adaptogens.

Excess estrogen can interfere with proper VDR function. Low dose boron can help detox excess estrogen. Soaking in epsom salt and then getting sunlight, far infrared or halogen light will also help detox carcinogenic estrogen. High estrogen levels causes high T4 thyroid hormone levels and low T3 hormone levels.

Calcium D Glucarate inhibits B-Glucuronidase which increase glucuronosyltransferase activity which helps remove glucuronide groups from the body. Many toxins are glucuronidated including carcinogenic hormones. This helps remove estrogen from the body. It also reduces DHEA and steroid hormones. I would not use this daily but I would pulse it. This has been shown to help with interstitial cystitis.

https://www.needs.com/product/HWC06-HER-01/htc_Calcium_D_Glucarate

High dose vitamin D can inhibit the VDR receptor but low dose can stimulate it.

If the vitamin D receptor is inhibited Thymosin B4 will be inhibited. Thymosine B4 is needed for tissue regeneration and also needed for the body endogenous steroids to reduce inflammation. If deficient Thymosin B4 a person will develop dry eyes. Thymosin B4 is used to cure dry eyes.

If the vitamin D receptor is inhibited the absorption of iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium will be inhibited. Also vitamin D inhibits inflammation and the release of histamines.

Increasing Sirt1 can stimulate the vitamin D receptor. It is also known as the longevity gene. Fasting activates Sirt1. Resveratrol activates Sirt1. It is found in high levels in red wine and skins of grapes. It is also found in high levels in grape seed extract. When Sirt catalyzes a reaction NAD+ is required. Curcumin increases Sirt activity but should be used in moderation because it chelates iron from the body and can eventually lead to anemia if used for too long. Querciten increases Sirt activity. Berberine dramatically increases Sirt1 activity. Ferulic Acid found in wheat germ, white navy beans and angelica increase Sirt activity. There are many things that can increase Sirt.

Now the down side to Sirt1 and why homeostasis should always be the goal and we must be careful not to over do things. Over activation of Sirt can cause excess oxidative stress which can lead to damage in the body.

High adrenal hormones, high T4 level, high phosphatonin levels and high prolactin levels can inhibit the VDR receptor. Autophagy reduces all of those. Things that stimulate autophagy are fasting, fulvic acid, nobiline, resveratrol. High phosphatonin is a sign of leaky gut or other digestive issues. It is caused by high Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 which increases when we have digestive issues. Causes of high prolactin can be a dopamine deficiency, or issues metabolizing dopamine, or hormone imbalances. High FGF-23 inhibits the VDR.

High TGF-B levels can inhibit VDR. High TGF-B is and indication of T-cell or B-cell imbalance. I have posted on increasing T regulatory cell which help balance the immune system. High TGF-B can be caused by mold toxins. Symptoms of high TGF-B levels are low acetylcholine levels, muscle loss, bone loss, frequent infections, increased serotonin levels, decreased immune response but increased inflammation.

High Phosphatonins can be a sign of low klotho levels. High phosphatonins can indicate severe kidney disease, high cellular damage, high vitamin D levels or ketoacidosis. Symptoms of high phosphatonin levels are muscle cramps or spasms, bone and joint pain, bone loss, rashes or itchy skin. A diet low in phosphate will help reduce symptoms until the problem is corrected.

Vitamin A and K2 are needed for the vitamin D receptor to function properly.

Increasing klotho will decrease phosphatoin levels. To increase klotho decrease toxins in the body. Exercise can increase klotho. Carbohydrates increase insulin which increases klotho. Probiotics acidophilus, and Lactobacillus Lactis increases Klotho. There are natural ACE inhibitors which increases klotho. Some natural ACE inhibitors are whole cooked rice, peas, sea food, chitin , brown and red algae, Pleurotus cornucopiae mushroom, matsutake mushroom, walnuts, pomegranate, Onopordon acanthium also known as cotton thistle, banana, bitter melon, Lactobacillus Plantarum , Lactobacillus Casei, bacillus subtilis, termina chebula, cooked tomato skin, rice bran, and hemp seed. Our commensal E Coli produce ACE inhibitors.

If prolactin levels are high a person will lose their sex drive, experience hypothyroidism, and mental distress. In women it can disrupt the menstrual cycle, and they can have seepage from the breast, vaginal dryness and painful sex. High prolactin levels can cause headaches and blurred vision. A person may experience hot flashes.

Ashwagandha decreases prolactin and increases testosterone. Vitamin E reduces prolactin, cod liver oil is a good source of vitamin E. Vitamin B6 reduces prolactin levels. Maca Root reduces prolactin levels. Sleep and zinc help reduce prolactin levels. Chasteberry, ginger, clove and cayenne pepper lowers prolactin levels. Also avoid foods contaminated with endocrine dysruptors especially GMO which are high in glyphosate. Increasing dopamine decreases prolactin. Avoid foods in containers that have BPA in them. Do not use plastics for food that contains BPA.

Sirt1 increases VDR activity. I have posted on stimulating Sirt. Fasting, querciten , grapes seed extract and many other things can stimulate Sirt1.

Omega 3s found in fish oil, coconut oil and olive oil can activate the VDR receptor. Some who have pyrrole issues they may have to use medium chain fatty acids instead. Medium chain fatty acids can be readily used by the body without having to be converted. Some sources of MCFA are coconut oil, unpasteurized raw animal milk(goat milk contains some of the highest levels), palm kernel oil, Durio graveolens which is in the durian family but is red and does not smell like dead animal like the others. Macadamia nut and pumpkins seeds are also high in MCFA. Butyric acid found in Ghee and butter and produced by some of our gut bacteria provides MCFA. Cocoa butter made from cocoa beans is high in stearic acid. Nuts are high in MCFA. You may also see them referred to as medium chain triglycerides, MCTs.

For those who are not sensitive to methyl donors SAMe can restore VDR function but I would not take it excessively or for too long.

Why many die before getting a diagnosis of Lyme disease.

 

Lyme disease destroys ones life. Because of the corruption and lies surrounding Lyme most do not get diagnosed until it is too late and their health has already been destroyed. They get no help from the government, medical community or family. I have seen many become homeless and die from being refused medical treatment and not having money to buy food.

https://peerj.com/articles/322/

There is a myth that a person will get a rash and this rarely occured in most I know who had gotten Lyme.

https://www.lymedisease.org/lymepolicywonk-how-many-of-those-with-lyme-disease-have-the-rash-estimates-range-from-27-80-2

A myth that many governments around the world propagate is that a tick has to be attached for 24 hours for a person to become infected with Lyme. They can be infected immediately especially if they smash the tick while removing it because it can cause some of the fluids from the tick to enter the bite area. The quicker a tick is safely removed the less chance a person has of getting Lyme but the 24 hour time period is a myth. There is evidence showing Lyme disease can be rapidly transmitted. The worst part of it is There are many types of bacteria that cause Lyme but the test only test for a few of them. The test has a very high failure rate and because of the nature of borrelia and it’s ability to morph in order to evade detection by the immune system and to protect itself from the body the longer it goes without being treated the more likely a person is to develop chronic Lyme.

There is a lot of fraud and flaws with Lyme testing and it has been 30 years since the fraud was exposed and our government will do nothing about it. Lyme test do not work and the guidelines set out by the CDC and IDSA are based on fraudulent research. It is why people have to die first before they are properly diagnosed with Lyme. The test for Lyme was meant to be used to track Lyme disease cases it was not meant to be used for clinical diagnoses so why are they requiring it to be used before a person can be treated?

Though the test may offer some hope if they get diagnosed chances are if they have Lyme even the most reliable test can be negative but it increases your chances of being able to be treated if you get tested and it shows you have Lyme.

Sadly they are still running on the Lyme testing hamster wheel and it is going no where and is why it should be a clinical diagnoses. Or they should have the blood put directly under the microscope to looke for live spirochetes. Sadly even that fails. I have seen people told they do not have Lyme after getting their blood put under a microscope when you could clearly see Lyme spirochetes in the persons blood. Why all the lying?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4441761/

The true number of those dying from Lyme will never be known because unlike HIV, or other illnesses that they list on the death certificate complications of HIV or diabetes or things of that nature with Lyme they will list it as renal failure or heart failure. Also because Lyme damages the brain and causes depression suicide rates are very high with Lyme sufferers so there again though Lyme indirectly was the cause of death it is not what the death certificate would say.

High ammonia levels, brain fog, fatigue.

This is not medical advice, I am posting this for imformational and educational purposes.

 

Hyperammonemia

Homeostasis should always be the goal. If you over do things you can push yourself too far in the other direction and have a whole lot of new problems to deal with.

High levels of ammonia in the body can damage the liver and kidneys. It can irritate the bladder and damage the brain. A person will develop brain foga and, they will develop brain swelling because ammonia makes the blood brain barrier more porous. A person will also develop muscle weakness, blurred vision, confusion and possibly demensia. When ammonia levels get very high a person will start developing high glutamate levels. This will cause a head ache that will make your head feel like it is going to split in half. Dysbiosis, high glyphosate or glufonisate levels in the body can cause high ammonia levels. Infections can also increase ammonia levels, especially tick born illness. High aluminum levels causes a disruption in the cycle needed to convert glutamate to GABA. This causes low GABA levels and high glutamate levels. I have posted on the pineal gland which covers detoxing aluminum. Most species of bifido bacteria will produce GABA if they are provided with fiber or Galacto-oligosaccharide. A bacteria found I swiss chees Propionibacterium Freudenreichii produces substances that enhances the growth and health of bifidobacteria.

Most lactobacillus species of probiotic produce lactate which helps reduce ammonia levels. Glacto-oligosaccharide help increase lactobacillus.

Drugs like fluoroquinolones can cause metabolic issues that can cause high ammonia levels.

High ammonia levels also effect our bladder and our digestive system. It changes the ph increasing it. This causes commensal like Candida and H Pylori to go from commensal to pathogenic forms. In order to restore our health we must work on reducing the ammonia levels in our bodies. Metabolic issues can also cause increased ammonia levels. Porphyria, pronteinuria, BH4 deficiency, and upregulated CBS pathway can cause high ammonia levels. Another why that high ammonia can develop is if the bodies ability to metabolize phenylalanine is blocked or inhibited. Low zinc levels can impair the uric acid cycle which can cause ammonia levels to become raised. I found zinc pocalinate helped me a lot.

When a person is suffering from any of those issues high sulfur foods and meat will make things worse. Also consumption of fats will make someone ill if they have high ammonia levels. Medium chain fatty acids are the best to consume when we have those issues. P5P a bioavailable for of B6, magnesium chloride and getting micro nutrients helps reduce ammonia levels. Molybdenum also becomes depleted but should only be taken a few times a week it can become toxic if we over do it. We need selenium I prefer natural sources to prevent getting too much and messing our thyroids up. I eat about 4 Brazil nuts a day. If you have thyroid issues selenium can cause you to react in a way that resembles a food allergy.

High ammonia levels cause neurological damage throughout the body. It will also cause excessive blood clotting and damage to our blood vessels. Bacopa, grape seed extract and hawthorne help prevent that damage.

High ammonia levels can cause high histamines from leaky gut that high ammonia levels cause which can lead to mast cell degranulation which can result in mast cell activation syndrome or mastocytosis. To reduce histamines probiotics that reduce histamines may help. Avoid high histamine foods and fermented foods including most cheese. I have posted on healing the gut. It is very important to address that or you will not get your ammonia levels down. Also take probiotics that reduce zonulin levels, break down ammonia , decrease inflammation and increase T regulatory cells.

Detoxing any chemicals especially glyphosate and mercury is very important and I have posted on that also.

Determining the cause of your high ammonia levels is very important that helps pinpoint what is needed to help correct it.

Things that help the brain heal are mugwort or wormwood they are very similar chemically, sunflower seed lecithin, coconut oil, butyrate found in butter or ghee. Whey protein has glycoprotein that helps the brain heal, fights infection, and improves cell to cell communication. Mushrooms and oatmeal contain beta glucan which fights infection and helps the brain heal.

Reducing the bad gut bacteria and increasing the good is very important in order to reduce high ammonia levels. High ammonia levels can also be a result of gut dysbiosis especially if a person has too many sulfur digesting gut bacteria.

If we do not address high ammonia levels it can increase our estrogen levels and cause high T4 levels causing thyroid problems.

When we have high ammonia levels it causes our breathing to become slow and deep. This is to increase oxygen in the body because high ammonia levels cause a decrease in oxygen in the blood.

If the water we consume has too many nitrates or we get too many nitrite in our bodies it will increase ammonia levels and make a person suffer from oxygen deprivation from the effects on the read blood cells.

Consuming meat can increase the ammonia levels in the body. If too much meat is consumed it does not digest all the way and will ferment in the lower intestinal tract which causes ammonia to be produced.

Lactulose helps reduce ammonia levels in the intestines. It is fermented to lactate which binds to ammonia prevent it from entering the body. Betaine helps reduce ammonia by helping to recycle the enzymes in the body used to break down and convert proteins. Those with PEMT issues should be cautious with betaine (trimethylglycine). Onithine, arginine, yucca root, butyric acid, vitamin C which should be acquired from natural sources also help reduce ammonia. Manganese ad molybdenum help reduce ammonia in the body but should not be taken in high doses and should not be taken for more then a few times a week they are toxic in high levels in the body. Oligosaccharides and inulin help reduce ammonia in the body. Supporting the pathways that are involved with sulfation will help reduce ammonia levels. Magnesium chloride and P5P (pyidoxal 5 Phosphate).

High ammonia levels can cause other metabolic problems which can lead to high ketone levels which can inhibit many metabolic pathways.

Gingko Biloba helps repair the damage in the brain from high ammonia levels but should not be used for more then a couple of months. Many studies I have read show it starts damaging the liver after about two months. The first three days I took it, all heck broke loose because with the improve blood flow to my brain it started to heal. When it started to heal I got pain in my eyes and a bad ache in the front of my head. I continued taking it and after the third day I could feel my mental clarity coming back and I could focus better. Things with biacelin like skuletaria, plantaine herb and fleabane help repair the damage high ammonia causes. Mugwort, coconut oil and other medium chain fatty acids also help the brain to repair. Creatine levels can also become low but I did not have the money to supplement it so I do not know if it would have benefited me or not. Mugwort helps increase GABA. Rooibos tea also helps increase GABA and helps improve brain function.

A person with high ammonia levels may have problems oxidizing fats. Medium chain fatty acids can be readily used by the body which can help promote healing.

Because protein can cause ammonia levels to become low I added glycoproteins to my diet which helped me a lot. I got those from mushrooms and whey protein. We still need to consume some meat. When I had to consume meat I would take protease enzymes like papain, bromelain and beataine with my meal to help increase the break down of the protein thus preventing the build up of ammonia in the gut. I still had to address the metabolic issues.

Though I am not big on drugs rifaximin and neomycin taken together has been shown to help with gut dysbiosis. You will have to take probiotics to replace the good gut microbes. I have posting on taking those. You must do it with caution. Taking too much of one type or taking them too often can lead to gut dysbiosis putting you back to where you started.

High ammonia levels can inhibit autophagy which will contribute to lysosomal issues. This will increase ammonia levels even more. Nobiline and fulvic acid stimulate autophagy but should be used in moderation.

Another problem that can develop is high insulin levels and low glucose levels. I found snacking often helped keep the proteins in my body from being broken down. Most with high ammonia levels have protein deficiencies from the many metabolic issues. I have posted a summary of my notes on metabolic issues and information on things that may help. I would make small shakes with whey protein. You have to make sure they did not add phenylalanine in the whey protein or it will make you worse. Many whey protein shake mixes and proteins and phenylalanine will increase ammonia levels in the body. I also bought bee pollen because it is high in protein and micro nutrients. I added it to my shake. I grow purslaine which has almost all the nutrients the body needs and I added that to my shakes. If I did not have any of those things I would eat carrot sticks or a couple of nuts. I found walnuts helped me the most. Hazlenuts and and pecans helped me a lot but if I ate too many they gave me an upset stomach. Pecans helped me but I could only eat about five of them, anymore then that and I would become nauseated. Brazil nuts helped me a lot but they are high in selenium so I would not recommend more then four or so a day. By preventing our sugar levels from dropping it helps preserve our proteins in our bodies. Once your ammonia levels come down your insulin levels and glucose levels will normalize.

Addressing inflammation is very important because the high ammonia levels causes systematic inflammation. This leads to metabolic issues and can cause and imbalance in the immune system.

I posted on the vitamin D receptor. It becomes inhibited when we have high ammonia levels. Taking Vitamin D is useless unless you address the other receptors that work with the vitamin D receptor this is why vitamin K, vitamin E, Vitamin A and other oil soluble vitamins are important. They must be taken with an oil for the body to absorb them. I used cod liver oil that had lemon juice to prevent it from oxidizing. Cod liver oil contains many of those nutrients. Studies have found that synthetic vitamin C does more harm then good so use natural vitamin D if you take it. Also studies have shown doses of vitamin D over 5000 IU can have a negative impact on our health. Most studies show that taking vitamin D had benefits at first but as it build up in the body it would start negatively impacting our health. I pulsed the vitamin D I took to just maintain levels in my body. I did not take it until I had the other oil soluble vitamins needed.

Antioxidants help reduce the oxidative stress from the high ammonia levels but should be used in moderation once the oxidative stress has been reduced because we need oxidative stress for healing and nutrient absorption. If we reduce reactive oxygen species too low we start losing the ability to heal and to absorb nutrients. Those who have hepatitis need to avoid things that contain resveratrol like grape seed extract because resveratrol activates hepatitis virus. L-lysien, and helicase inhibitors found in the skin or red apples, self heal and lemon balm help with hepatitis and herpes type viruses.

Branched Chain Ammino Acids help restore metabolic pathways and stimulate healing. Whey protein in high in branched chain ammino acids. Though whey protein has to be digested and broken down taking the supplements will help the body more readily absorb them. Eggs are high in BCAAs but many with sulfation issues have problems with consuming high choline foods and may feel ill after eating them. Isoleucine, valine and leucine are the three branched chain ammino acids that could be taken in supplement form.

Calcium-D-Glucarate helps with the brain fog from high ammonia levels. It can be found in the area for urinary tract infections at most pharmacies. Calcium-D-Glucarate also reduces ammonia in the body produced from breaking down protein. Calcium-D-Glucarate also reduces estrogen levels in the body which is often times high in those with high ammonia levels. It also helps the body to reduce toxins.

Bicarbonate rich mineral water can help restore insulin levels and improve blood glucose levels. I could not afford it so I used a tablespoon of baking soda in a glass of water about three times a week and it helped me a lot.

Citrulline helps reduce ammonia in the body but should only be taken a few times a week. If citrulline is taken daily it should be low dose. The liver recycles it and it can build up in the body. If levels get too high it can start causing liver damage and damage to the red blood cells. Citrulline also helps those who have lysinuric protein intolarnce. Those with Lysinuric Protein intolerance may benefit from taking the bioavailable forms of proteins L-lysine, L-argine, L-carnitine and L-ornithine because they are deficient in them. Malabsorption issues can also cause a deficiency in these. If a person is experiencing this their bones may become brittle and they may experience hair loss.

The reason I do not recommend glutamine for those with high ammonia levels is because the liver is usually stressed and it can add to the liver stress.

This is a link to another blog post I did on high ammonia levels just in case I missed something here. https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/07/13/high-ammonia-levels-in-chronic-illness/

Feel bloated, flatulence smell like rotten eggs?

This is not medical advice, I am posting this for educational and informational purposes.

Boating, stinky flatulence that smell like rotten eggs, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, Bile acid refux, headache, fatigue, muscle pain?

If we have to many Hydrogen Sulfate producing bacteria it can negatively impact our health. This occurs if we eat GMOs which are high in glyphosate and glufonisate or from taking antibiotics for too long. H2S inhibits butyrate oxidation in colonic epithelial cells which causes many health problems even psychosis. This also compromises the intestinal barrier function which causes an energy deficit.

Bismuth blocks H2S production ,Lactobacillus Plantarum and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae reduces Desulfovibrio , and other producers of H2S but there are others that produce it. Glycomacropeptide found in whey protein reduces Desulfovibrio bacteria. Lactoferrin and lactulose have been shown to reduce sulfur digesting bacteria. Galacto-oligosaccharide has been found to increase the good microbes that reduce the sulfur digesting and methane producing bacteria. Fiber also helps reduce sulfur digesting bacteria.

High H2S causes increased inflammation, increased Reactive Oxygen Species, and increase neutrophils in order to convert H2S to thiosulfate. If thiosulfate levels get too high in the blood it can cause a type of anemia called Heinz Body anemia. If a person is G6PD deficient this will make their symptoms much worse. Low thiosulfate levels in the urine could indicate low or inhibited Thiolmethyltransferase. High thiosulfate in the blood can also be caused by excess garlic consumption.

There are urine test for thiosulfate. High levels can indicate high H2S producing bacteria in the gut or it can indicate a deficiency in Thiolmethyltransferase. This can lead to CoQ10 deficiency and NADPH deficiency. This can also lead to inhibited sulfide oxidation which can impair fatty acid oxidation. This also causes glutathione to become depleted. You can also test the urine for H2S.

This can effect each differently depending on the level of H2S. They can either become constipated or get diarrhea. It can result in inflammatory bowel, pouchitis, halitosis, fatty acid deficiency from inhibited fatty acid oxidation and malabsorption. Lower H2S stimulates intestinal contraction and higher levels causes relaxation of the intestines.

High sulfur foods and meat increase H2S levels if the sulfur digesting gut microbiota are high. Most fats can also increase H2S and medium chain fatty acids are usually the best to consume when there are high sulfur digesting bacteria levels. Many of our processed foods contain sulfur as a preservative.

In a lactulose test if the levels of methane and hydrogen are not high then it is most likely dysbiosis caused by high sulfur digesting bacteria levels.

H2S cysteine activates GLUT increasing the transport of glucose into the cell. The excess hydrogen sulfide in the body will cause a person to develop sulfur intolerance. High sulfur foods will cause a reaction or they will become ill.

Polyphenols reduce the H2S producing bacteria. Wine and green tea in moderation can reduce the H2S producing bacteria.

The bacteria that can be found in the stool that are sulfur digesting and produce high levels of H2S are Desulfovibrio, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Prevotella.

Often times when a person has dysbiosis they will tell them to avoid starch but resistant starch reduces the H2S producing microbiota. Butyrate found in butter helps reduce the effects of high H2S. We can increase our Butyrate by taking a butyrate producing probiotic and making sure they get the starches and sugars they need.

High H2S levels increases Trimethylsulfonium in urine. High trimethylsulfonium levels can effect indolethylamine-N-methyl-transferease enzymes which is needed for the methylation of thiols. When this is effected It can effect hormones throughout the body. Glyphosate uses a sulfonium salt which could increase the negative effects to add gasoline to the fire glyphosate kills the microbiota that help keep sulfur digesting bacteria levels down.

H2S inhibits nNOS which causes nitric oxide production to become inhibited. This also increase NADPH levels and decreases NADH levels. Increasing BH4 counters the effects of H2S. Leafy greens and beet root increases nitric oxide which will help to increase BH4. Working on improving mitochondrial respiration will help to restore energy production in the mitochondria. Inhibited respiration in the mitochondria causes the high NADPH levels. High NADPH increases oxidative stress so a person may need to increase super oxide dismutase to help reduce the oxidative stress.

Digestion probably more then you wanted to know. Enzymes and bile and stuff.

This is not medical advice I am posting this for informational and educational purposes.

This is not done I have a lot to add to it but I am kind of burned out. I will finis it later after I take a break.

Gastrointestinal motility and digestive enzymes.

This is mostly on bile but I wanted to cover the other areas of digestion before I covered bile.

Inhibited bile causes constipation. Frequent constipation increases Bilophila Wadsworthia which causes appendicitis. Trans-fats and saturated fats should be avoided when bile is inhibited or when constipated because they increase the growth of Bilophila Wadsworthia. Trans-fats should be avoided anyways they are very bad for our health.

Most know how digestion works but we need a refresher. When we chew our food it is mixed with saliva which has some digestive enzymes in it. When we swallow it is propelled down the esophogus where it is mixed with enzymes and gastric acid. The end result is called chyme. The chyme is pushed into the small intestine (duodenum). Many will ask me how to increase bile production but doing so could cause more harm then good. The problem causing the inhibited bile flow needs to be addressed. For example a dam can only hold so much water. If there is more water then the dam can hold it will flood over the top. Adding more water to the dam adds to the problems and could break the dam. When there is a blockage causing bile flow to be inhibited then increasing bile would be like adding water to a dam that is already overflowing. Most health issues mentioned in this article I have discussed elsewhere on my blog.

Peristalsis is the movement of food through the digestive system. It is the cause of the gurgling sound you hear when you are hungry or digesting food. Usually you cannot hear it. I do not know why but I and my friends experienced this. As we healed our digestive system you could feel the food moving and the sounds of digestions were very loud. As we healed they became quieter and quieter.

In the small intestine the food is combined with bile and pancreatic enzymes to break it down further and for nutrient absorption. The smooth muscle in the intestines are ring shaped and alternate between contracting and relaxing. This causes the food to move slow enough through the digestive tract for it to be broke down and for the nutrients to be absorbed. The neurons are stimulated by acetylcholine, and substance P to get them to contract. Nitric oxide, vasoactive peptide and ATP relax the muscles. This causes a motion that moves the food through the digestive tract and occurs the most in the small intestine. There are health issues that can cause a high acetylcholine and high substance P levels. High noradrenaline reduces substance P which can interfere with intestinal motility and can lead to constipation. High estrogen levels can inhibit substance P. High substance P levels can cause inflammation and lead to inflammatory bowel disease. There are health issues that can cause low acetylcholine and low serotonin levels. This also will cause a loss of motility leading to constipation. An imbalance in our immune system can cause bile flow to be inhibited. Estrogen inhibits bile flow and progesterone pormotes bile flow. This causes the liver and thyroids to become sluggish. This can also lead to interstitial cystitis. All the above mentioned things can inhibit receptors and throw hormones out of balance. If not addressed it will become chronic and start a cycle that is difficult to break and can take months to years to heal from.

https://www.selfhacked.com/blog/substance-p-roles/

If the gurgling in the gut is excessive and there is cramping, abdominal pain, and possibly nausea and vomiting it could indicate slow gut motility or a blockage. This can be caused by intestinal damage, hormone imbalance, inflammation in the intestines, dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, a deficiency in certain gut microbiota, slow or inhibited bile. This causes gas, bloating, and distention (inflammation in the gut). If we have a T cell imbalance or high B cell levels this can also cause it. If not addressed it can result in a decline of intestinal health our the health of the body. High histamines can cause inflammation that can cause blockage. We do not want to inhibit them because histamines are needed to stimulate gastric acid. It is best to work on reducing them.

If the digestive system is injured and we do not give it the things needed for it to heal then it loses the ability to sense nutrients and food that has entered it so it cannot respond to them. The longer it goes like this the worse it gets and the longer it will take to heal.

Bile acid is needed for the healthy brown fat to be produced. Bile acid is synthesized form cholesterol. Excess oxidative stress or inflammation in the liver can cause low cholesterol levels or can inhibit it’s production which would prevent the bodies ability to produce bile properly. This can also cause bile to become inhibited. When this happens bile production is reduced and it becomes thick. Phosphatydylcholine is needed to store bile in the gallbladder. I have found most who have problems with choline metabolism have benefited from sunflower seed oil. Excess oxidative stress can cause methionine and choline to become depleted. This inhibits the bodies ability to produce bile.

Enzymes.

If you are deficient in certain enzymes often times there are plants you can consume that will helps digest foods that require those enzymes.

Lactase- (B-Galactosidase)- deficiency causes lactose intolerance. It breaks down Lactose down to glucose and galactose. Damage in the gut can cause it to not be reabsorbed. If this happens the gut microbiome will break it down causing gas and bloating. Those who are lactose intolerance will usually also be intolerant of FODMAPS until they get their gut healed enough to correct the malabsorption issues. Those who have malabsorption issues may benefit from taking Lactase when consuming dairy products. Saccharmyces Boulardii has been found to increase enzyme function in those with Lactose and FODMAP intolerance. If a person is lactose intolerant if they avoid dairy products while supplementing galactooligosaccaride for about a month, it has been found to increase Lactose metabolizing bacteria which prevents the bloating and ill effects of lactose. Also slowly introducing dairy into the diet a little at a time can increase the gut microbes that produce lactase. That would prevent a reaction to lactose also.

Alpha-galactosidase- helps break down digested fats and saccharides a deficiency causes lysosomal storage diseases. If defficient in Alpha-Galactosidase when eating fiber and high sulfur foods a person will develop gas and bloating. Those who have a deficiency in Alpha-galcatosidase will be intolerant to complex carbohydrates and may be intolerant to gluten. Beans will be a problem for a person lacking this. Infection can cause A-gal to be inhibited from the LPS produced. Inducing autophagy can testore A-gal. Tick born illness can cause autoimmune disease that can cause the body to make antibodies against a-gal. Balancing the immune system is very important. If not addressed it can lead to a sensitivity to meat.

Things that help with lysosomal storage disease should help with this. https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/08/21/things-that-may-help-with-lysosomals-storage-disease/

Sucrase- secreted in the small intestine. Catalyzes sucrose , fructose, and maltose. A deficiency will cause lactose intolerance, gas , bloating and diarrhea when things containing sucrose are consumed. Inflammation can cause it’s excretion into the small intestine to be inhibited. Sucrase is also known as invertase. Thyroid hormones and corticosterone stimulate sucrase and maltase. Inflammation and intestinal damage will decrease it’s secretion. High CD8 T cell levels inhibit Sucrase. I have posted on balancing T cells.

Amylases-work with other enzymes to break down polysaccharides. It is the major form of amylase found in humans and breaks down starch to maltose and dextran. It prevents bacteria from producing biofilms by breaking them down. It is secreted in saliva and from the pancreas.

endopeptidase (enterokinase) that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (it is a protease) It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes. It transforms trypsinogn into trypsin. procarboxypeptidase into the active enzyme carboxypeptidase which is involved in the maturation of proteins produced. Carboxypeptidase is also involved in enzyme and hormone production throughtout the body. It is produced in the mucus membrane showing the importance of restoring the health of the mucous membrane. This can result in protein and enzyme deficiencies in the body.

Trypsinogen- is the precursor form of trypsin it is found in pancreatic juice that is released in the small intestine. Trypsinogen is activated by the protease enteropeptidase which is produce by the mucus of the duodenum. Trypsin breaks down proteins to ammino acids.

Chymotrypsinogen- precursor for chymotrypsin. It is activated by trypsin.

Pancreatic Lipase- It is secreted into the small intestine in it’s completed form. But it only becomes effective in the presence of colipase which is a co-enzyme.

Phospholipase-converts lipids(fats) to phospholipids.

Lipase-breaks down triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol. Deficiency causes a lack of fats needed by the body and fats in stools. Lipase also protect the body from parasites and pathogens. If deficienct a person will suffer from malabsorption. There are microbe derived lipases that have been shown to be effective for Lipase deficiency.

Na+ Taurocholate Cotransporting Polypeptide (NTCP) is used by the liver to extract BA returning to the lever through the portal vein. Should not be stimulated in those with cholestasis it can damage the liver. A deficiency causes muscle weakness. If it is inhbited bile salts can build up in the liver resulting in liver damage. This also results in an increase in blood levels of bile acids.

Pancreatic Polypeptide self-regulates pancreatic secretion activities. It’s secretion is increased from protein consumption, fasting, exercise, and is decreased by glucose and somatostatin. It can inhibit gallblader contractions and pancreatic exocrine secretion.

Pancreatic Elastase – help finish breaking down foods. If there is excess oxidative stress , inflammation or immune imbalance that effects the pancreas it can inhibit pancreatic enzyme secretion. They usually test for this enzyme in stool to see if the pancreas is functioning properly.

Digestive hormones.

Most of these hormones are effected by our brain especially the hypothalamus. If we have endotonins, heavy metals , glyphosate or other toxins that effect the brain then our digestion will be effected which further effects our brains. The hormone imbalance causes mental issues. They can be corrected if you address what is causing the imbalance. Many will take medications, which only treat the symptoms. Most medications for those types of things effect digestive hormones adding to the problem. Then when a person starts correcting the problem their mental issues become worse because of the drugs they are taking and the body starting to function correctly will swing hormones in the other direction. When the digestive system is damaged our cells that produce hormones become less numerous. We must try and protect the so healing can begin. Also nerve cells become less numerous which makes our bodies digestive responses to be much lower. Regular and electric acupuncture have been shown to help restore normal hormone levels. Bile acid also regulates lipid and glucose homeostasis. If bile acid become inhibited Thyroxine (T4) levels increase and Tiiodothyronine (T3). Low T3 levels inhibits oxidation which is needed to use lipids and cholesterol in the body. This will cause low LDL levels and high HDL level. Low T3 levels inhibits the bodies ability to synthesize proteins. Insulin loses it’s ability to inhibit glucogenesis. This cause glycolysis to be inhibited. This also effects the heart and can cause heart palpitations. High T4 levels can cause a decrease in serotonin.

Ampulla of Vater blocakge– inflammation, oxalates, toxins, infection or damage in the body can lead to pancreatic enzymes building up causing the pancreas to digest itself.

If you have blockage inhibiting enzyme secretion I would not advice stimulating the secretion until the health problems causing the blockage have been addressed.

When we have metabolic issues, inflammation or any other of the health issues I have describe these enzymes can be effected. Especially if we have damage to our digestive system.

Serotonin – (5-HT) regulates gut motility. It is produced in the mucosa of the gut. It increases peristalsis (movement of food through digestive tract). It has been found to be low in those with inflammatory bowel diseases. A deficiency can cause gastroparisis and bile reflux. It also stimulates adenylyl cyclase which is involved in cell signaling throughout the body. Most drug agonist of the 5-HT receptors damage the liver and heart. Acupunture stimulates serotonin. There are some disorders which inhibits 5-HT from exiting the cells. This causes a build up in the cells and a person will be senstitive to 5-HT but would still have symptoms of 5-HT deficiency.

Motilin – triggered by fasting, and fatty foods. Controls peristalsis by stimulating smooth muscle contraction and relaxation to coordinate the movement of food through the digestive tract. The antibiotic erthromycin stimulates motilin. Motilin had been found to be low in those with inflammatory bowel diseases. Acupuncture increases motilin. Motilins effects are influenced by PH. Low PH motilin inhibits gastric motility at higher PH it stimulates gastrointestinal motility. Food intake slows the production of motilin. Insulin also inhibits the secretion of motilin.

Reflux can be cause by bile issues in two ways. If there is a blockage a person could experience bile acid reflux. If there is insufficient bile production the the acid from the chyme does not get neutralized by the bile and will cause acid reflux. L-taurine and betaine also known as TMG helps with bile production. Cysteine is also needed and taking NAC (N-acetylcysteine) about three times a week has been found to help. If it is taken more then that the benefits are lost.

Gastric Inhibitory Peptide – triggered by glucose and fatty foods. Decreases gastric emptying and stimulates the release of insulin. It promotes fat storage.

Vasoactive Peptide – increases blood flow to the gut, supplies eleyctrolytes to pancreatic enzymes and bile.

Guanylin – causes secretion of chloride , decreases absorption of water from the gut. It prevents the sodium levels from the body from getting too high by inhibiting salt absorption and by stimulating the secretion of bicarbonate and chloride.

Glucagon – glucagon supresses CYP7A1 which reduces bile production. This can lead to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Glucagon prevents blood sugar levels from getting too low. It is involved in gluconeogenesis which produces glucose form proteins.Glucagon also breaks down fat stores in the blood stream. Excess glucagon leads to diabetes and thrombosis.

Glucagon Like Protein-1 (GLP-1) Whey protein increases GLP-1, glucose also stimulates GLP-1. Slows down digestion. It increases the size and health of pancreatic B cells. Stimulates brain repair. It’s release is stimulated by TGR-5. GLP-1 is involved in appetite suppression and glucose homeostasis. Low levels causes glucose deficiency. Carbohydrates and elevated blood levels of proteins helps stimulate glucagon . If we are deficient in glucagon glycogen can build up in the livers. It brings down glycogen in the liver by breaking it down to produce glucose. Somatostatin inhibits glucagon production. Excess glucagon cause weight loss and deficiency causes weight gain. Fasting stimulates glucagon production.

Secretin- helps regulate water homeostasis in the body, helps regulate the PH of the small intestine by gastric acid. Secretin inhibits gastic acid production and stimulates the production of bicarbonate. Secretin also stimulates bile production. It is produced mainly in the mucosa of the small intestine and jejunum. It is release from the low ph caused by chyme entering the small intestine.

Secretin deficiency causes a loss of neural progenitor cells. Progenitor cells are similar to stem cells. Since secretin increases neural progenitor cells it helps with autism, motor coordination and improves memory. Secretin helps with asthma by acting as a bronchorelaxer. Secretin reduces symptoms of pancreatitits.

In order to function properly levels of cholecystokinin and insulin need to be normal. If they are dis-regulated it effects secretin levels. It also stimulates polyamines in the pancrease which is needed for cell growth. Polyamines also regulate ion channels including the NMDA recemptors, AMPA receptors and potassium channels. Excess polyamines can cause the blood brain barrier to become more porous. Showing the importance of secretin homeostasis. When H Pylori in in it’s pathogenic form it will cause a secretin deficiency. Secretin promotes the production of mucus. A decrease in secretin decreases the function of angiotensin 2. Secretin increases thirst. Secretin increases the feel good hormone oxytocin.

Now the bad if a person has bile blockage like cholestasis it can cause liver damage. I discuss things that can help with that at the end of this blog post. Secretin causes Zollinger-Ellison syndrome to worsen.

High levels of somatostatin inhibits secretin.

Cholecystokinin- stimulates the release of digestive enzymes and bile from the pancrease and bladder. Whey protein stimulates CCK. Fat intake also stimulates CCK. A deficiency in CCK causes malabsorption and can lead to Type 1 diabetes. Damage to the mucus membrane can cause a deficiency. This can also be caused by autoimmunity. This is where a dilemma occurs. High levels of bacteroidetes or high levels of methane producing bacteria can inhibit CCK. Protein stimulates CCK. I believe working on bile blockage and then once that is corrected increasing bile flow first to reduce the bacteroidetes levels and methane producing bacteria then adding protein into the diet once they are reduced would most likely correct the problem along with restoring the health of the mucus membrane.

Intrinsic Factor-important in the absorption of vitamin B12. Often times B12 deficiency is caused by a lack of the microbiota that produce B12 but is mistakenly attributed to and intrinsic factor deficiency.

Haptocorin-binds to B12 in our food protecting it from our gastric acid so it can survive the stomach. It is found in our saliva. This shows the importance of making sure we chew our food very well.

Gastrin- hormone that stimulates gastric acid secretion. It is released from the pariental cells in the stomach. It also aids in gastric motility. Elevated gastrin can cause hypergastrinaemia. Low levels can cause hypergstrinaemia. Infection can effect gastrin levels and so can histamines. Histamines are needed for Gastrin stimulation if histamine levels are too low the we will not produce enough stomach acid. If they are too high then we can get acid reflux. If someone is not producing enough acid then they most likely have low histamines and would benefit from fermented foods and aged meats which are high histamine.

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide- an inhibiting hormone of the secretin family. It stimulates insulin secretions based on how much glucose is present. It stimulates glucagon secretion and fat accumulation. It is found in intestinal mucus, small intestine, and jejunum of the gastrointestinal tract. Has many other functions throughout the body including bone growth.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide- serves functions throughout the body but relaxes smooth muscles in the trachea, gall bladder and stomach.

Bombesin- stimulates gastrin release from the pancrease. It also stimulates adrenal and pituitary hormones. It increases the thickness of the mucus membrane. It modulates the neural firing rate in the intestines so is involved with gastrointestinal motility.

Somatostatin reduces histamines which will reduce the gastric acid stimulating effects of histamine. In those with inflammatory bowel issues somatostatin in usually very high. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce somatostatin. Most lactobacillus bacteria will reduce somatostatin. Somatostatin prevents the over production of certain hormones in the body. If there is excess somatistatin it will inhibit hormones especially insulin. Somatostatin inhibits glucose and fat absorption. It inhibits insulin and glucagon in the liver. It stimulates muscle contractions in the intestines speedingup transit times. Protein stimulates somatostatin.

Cholecystokinin, glucagon-like-peptide, gastrin-releasing peptide stimulate somatostatin.

Substance P, insulin, pancreatic polypeptide, and opioids inhibit somatostatin.

Excess somatostatin inhibits bone growth, disrupts sleep, and increases dopamine, norepinephrin and epinephrine.

High levels somatostatin will cause high thyroid hormone levels because it inhibits thyroid stimulating hormone which senses hormone levels and shuts them down if they get too high. This causes weight loss no matter how much a person consumes , flushing or hot flashes, and heart palpitations.

Insulin- breaks down blood glucose. Excess insulin can lead to cancer and many other health problems. Glycoproteins increase insulin. Whey protein increases insulin and reduces blood glucose levels. This is one that confuses me and makes me believe those with inflammatory bile have blockages. Many with inflammatory bowel have high insulin levels which stimulates CYP7A1 which should increase bile production and still they have low bile flow and often times CYP7A1 levels are low. It may be that inflammation is inhibiting the receptor.

Ghrelin-triggered during hunger or calorie restriction. Stimulates appetite. Whey proteins increases Ghrelin. Ghrelin is involved with gastric emptying.

Deacyl-ghrelin – DAG decreases gastric emptying, induces postprandial fullness and improves insulin sensitivity.

Peptide YY- secreted after eating it cancels out the effects of ghrelin.

Pheonixin – expressed in the hypothalamus, it stimulates appetite.

Peptide YY- produced in the gut where short chain fatty acids are produced. Proprionate and butyrate increase expression of Peptide YY. It reduces appetite. It is stimulated from the consumption of fiber from fruits and vegetagles. It also reduces pancreatic secretion.

Leptin – regulates body fat.

Bile Acids

Bile stimulates the secretion of electrolytes and water into the intestines which stimulates digestion. Biles acid stimulates the release of 5-HT. Those with inflammatory bowel diseases have been found to have high levels of bile acids Taurocholic Lithocholic Acid, Taurocholic acid and Taurocholic Deoxycholate.

Bile acid promotes liver regeneration by activiating BA recperors Farnesoid X receptor and G-Protein-coupled BA receptor1 (GPBAR1 or TGR5) . This shows the importance of bile acid homeostasis. Proper bile acid production is very important for maintaining a balanced gut microbiome.

Inhibited bile can cause gall stones and lead to liver and kidney disease.

There are many things that can inhibit bile production. Inflammation, toxins, metabolic issues, especially inhibited receptors involved with bile production. Infections can cause bile to become inhibited and so can the endotoxins they produce. If we develop leaky gut the LPS (lipopolysaccharide) which is produced by pathogens and our commensals can enter the blood stream. Our microbiome uses LPS to communicate with our bodies but when it gets into the blood stream it causes the same problems a pathogen would. We also have commensal microbes that break down LPS antibiotics and farm chemicals especially glyphosate and glufonisate can kill our gut microbiome. They modulate most organs in our bodies including our brains. They even modulate some of our genes. Without them we will not have an immune system and we cannot restore the body to homeostasis. Metabolic issues can cause acidosis or alkalosis which will also interfere with the propper function of our organs and causes a lot of damage which progresses and becomes more severe if the problems causing them are not addressed. Infection can also change the PH of the body. There is a myth that alkalizing the body will make us healthier. This is not true but it promotes things that are usually commensal like Candida and H Pylori to turn pathogenic. If a person has candida and H Pylori problems they most likely have high ammonia levels. This causes BH4 to become depleted increasing the ammonia levels even more. If not addressed they will start having problems eating high protein foods and high sulfur foods. Another thing that can cause blockage that effects bile flow is oxalates. They can be produced endogenously or we can get them exogenously. If we have leaky gut oxalates that are usually excreted in our feces can easily enter our blood stream. Also many will consume a lot of raw greens. Spinach and Kale are very high oxalate and can increase oxalates in the body. We have oxalate degrading microbiota and if antibiotics or farm chemicals in our food kills them our oxalate levels can indrease. I have posted on my blog on how to deal with those issues.

Bile, an aqueous solution produced and secreted by the liver, consists mainly of bile salts, phospholipids, cholesterol, conjugated bilirubin, electrolytes, and water.The liver cells are mostly hepatocytes. Bile travels through the liver in a series of ducts, eventually exiting through the common hepatic duct. Bile flows through this duct into the gallbladder where it is concentrated and stored. When stimulated by the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), the gallbladder contracts, pushing bile through the cystic duct and into the common bile duct. CCK is usually deficient in those with inflammatory bowel disease. Cholecystokinin is released after a meal is consumed. It is stimulated by the production of stomach acid. It is secreted along with secretin. Secretin stimulates bicarbonate in response to the acid from the chyme that enters the small intestin, and It stimulates pancreatic enzymes and forces bile into the small intestine. If we do not produce enough stomach acid then Cholecystokinin is not released and our food will sit in our stomach and ferment. This causes and increase of either methane producing bacteria or sulfur digesting bacteria. Methane and sulfur digesting bacteria cause lower motility in the intestines slowly digestion even more. Bile is needed to stimulate the Vitamin D Receptor.

Simultaneously, the sphincter of Oddi relaxes, permitting bile to enter the duodenal lumen. Lumen is the space in a tubular shape. The hormone secretin also plays an important role in the flow of bile into the small intestine. By stimulating biliary and pancreatic ductular cells to secrete bicarbonate and water in response to the presence of acid in the duodenum, secretin effectively expands the volume of bile entering the duodenum. In the small intestine, bile acids facilitates lipid digestion and absorption. Bile is needed to absorb many nutrients especially lipid (fat) soluble vitamins like Vitamin D, Vitamin E, , Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Only approximately 5% of these bile acids are eventually excreted. The majority of bile acids are efficiently reabsorbed from the ileum, secreted into the portal venous system, and returned to the liver in a process known as enterohepatic recirculation. Ileum is the final section of the small intestine.

If bile becomes inhibited it inhibits the vitamin D receptor further inhibiting bile production and adding to the problem because cholesterol production and conversion becomes inhibited. This will make bile become sludgy leading to low bile flow which will increase estrogen levels and cause high unbound copper levels in the blood. Bitter herbs increase bile flow but the vitamin D receptor has to be addressed along with balancing the microbiome in the gut and healing the intestinal tract. Inflammation needs to be reduced , and prevent thrombosis. There are many things that can block the portal vein. The above mentioned things and also thrombosis can cause it. Thrombosis is blood clotting.

This is why I often times recommend grape seed extract and bacopa to people. It prevents thrombosis. Inflammation because endotoxins can cause thrombosis. Grape seed extract and bacopa reduce inflammation and prevent thrombosis. If thrombosis occurs in the portal vein it will effect the liver, pancrease, and digestive system. This causes pain in the stomach, bloating, inflammation, pancreatic pain, pain in the gallbladder. This can lead to death. Bile flow will become inhibited speeding up the progression of portal vein thrombosis. Those with hepatitis need to use hawthorne or something else. Resveratrol activates hepatitis.

portal vein thrombosis

gastrointestinal symptoms (ex: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), fever and constitutional symptoms (ex: fatigue, malaise, and anorexia/weight loss) [3]. We can also find hepatomegaly with elevated liver enzymes and jaundice [3], when associated with liver abscess or cholangitis [2]. Laboratory tests usually demonstrate elevated markers of inflammation [2]

https://www.journalmc.org/index.php/JMC/article/view/3050/2378

If not addressed in time it can lead to portal hypertension. This results in brain swelling, abdominal swelling . Confusion, anemia and low white blood cell count.

How Bile is Formed.

Bile is produced by hepatocytes, which is then modified by the cholangiocytes lining the bile ducts. The production and secretion of bile require active transport systems within hepatocytes and cholangiocytes in addition to a structurally and functionally intact biliary tree. If this becomes blocked by stones from poor bile production, oxalates or infection a person can develop choledocholithiasis. This will cause problems with the gall bladder, liver, kidneys and digestion. This can also lead pancreatic problems. The symptoms are upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.

Initially, hepatocytes produce bile by secreting conjugated bilirubin, bile salts, cholesterol, phospholipids, proteins, ions, and water into their canaliculi (thin tubules between adjacent hepatocytes that eventually join to form bile ducts). Unconjugated bile is when heme is released during red blood cell break down, the remainder is converted to unconjugated hemoglobin. This form of bilirubin travels from the blood stream to the liver. If the liver cannot convert unconjugated to conjugated it will build up in the blood and a person will develop a yellow like glow. It is normally excreted through the intestines. If there is a rapid destruction of blood cells this can also happen. Infections, toxins, excess vitmin C and excess iron can cause the red blood cells to break down. Conjugated bilirubin is water soluble and if there is a blockage it will be excreted in the urine. Testing for high bilirubin in the urine can help identify blockage.

The canalicular membrane of the hepatocyte is the main bile secretory apparatus which contains the intracellular organelles, the cytoskeleton of the hepatocyte and carrier proteins. Fluctuations in cytosolic and organelle Ca2+ following glucagon or epinephrine stimulation play a major role in hepatic control of glucose production, bile fluid movement and excretion, fatty acid, amino acid and xenobiotic metabolism, protein synthesis and secretion, cell cycle and cell proliferation, among other functions. I discussed in some of my other post about autophagy. It can help issues like this.

The carrier proteins in the canalicular membrane transport bile acid and ions. Transporter proteins found within the canalicular membrane use energy to secrete molecules into bile against concentration gradients. The citric acid cycle is involved in providing the energy for this to occur. Mitochondrial disfunction and a loss of ATP can also interfere with this process. If this occurs cholestasis can occur causing a backup of bile and it can enter the blood stream. If the problem causing the obstruction is not addressed it can lead to fibrosis and vanishing bile duct syndrome. Symptoms are frequent itchy skin, elevated triglycerides, fat growths that appear under the skin. Drugs are often times the cause especially fluorquinolones.

Through this active transport, osmotic and electrochemical gradients are formed. When conjugated bile salts enter the canaliculus, water follows by osmosis. The electrochemical gradient allows for the passive diffusion of inorganic ions such as sodium. The most significant promoter of bile formation is the passage of conjugated bile salts into the biliary canaliculus. The total bile flow in a day is approximately 600 ml, of which 75% is derived from the hepatocyte, and 25% is from the cholangiocytes. Approximately half of the hepatocyte component of bile flow (about 225 ml per day) is bile salt-dependent and the remaining half bile salt independent. Bile Salts are formed in the body by combining bile acids and alcohol sulfates. Bile acid is combined with glycine or taurine to form bile salts. This is a good article explaining how to increase bile salts and the benefits of doing so. Taurine has been found to increase sulfur digesting bacteria which would increase H2S which can inhibit bile production. The is most likely why the western diet causes health problems it is high in taurine.

https://draxe.com/bile-salts/

Osmotically active solutes such as glutathione and bicarbonate promote bile salt independent bile flow. Canaliculi empty bile into ductules or cholangioles or canals of Hering. The ductules connect with interlobular bile ducts, which are accompanied by branches of the portal vein and hepatic artery forming portal triads. Bile is subsequently modified by ductular epithelial cells as it passes through the biliary tree. These cells, known as cholangiocytes, dilute and alkalinize the bile through hormone-regulated absorptive and secretory processes. The hormones are scecretin, acetycholine, ATP, and bombesin. So you can see the importance of making sure we address any issues we have that can inhibit acetylcholine production or cause ATP to become depleted. Issues with glycolysis can cause a loss of ATP. I do not know much about increasing ATP except that creatine helps increase ATP production.

The cholangiocytes have receptors which modulate the bicarbonate-rich ductular bile flow, which is regulated by hormones. These receptors include receptors for secretin which regulates water homeostasis, somatostatin decreases stomach acid production, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) not sure how to describe this one. It is kind of an ion channel/ABC transporter and chloride-bicarbonate exchanger this is where electrolytes are important. These are listed in order of importance sodium, calcium, magnesium and postassium .

For example, when secretin stimulates receptors in the cholangiocyte, a cascade is initiated which activates the CFTR chloride channel and allows the exchange of bicarbonate for chloride. In contrast, somatostatin inhibits the cAMP synthesis within the cholangiocytes causing the opposite effect. While bombesin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, acetylcholine, and secretin enhances bile flow, somatostatin, gastrin, insulin, and endothelin (endothelin are involved in electrolyte homeostasis) inhibit the flow. I do not have enough experience with reducing insulin levels and had to have a friend help me with that on facebook. Some metabolic disorders can cause low glucose levels and high insulin levels. It can be corrected but takes someone who is knowledgeable.

Bile Acids Cholesterol catabolism by hepatocytes results in the synthesis of the 2 major primary bile acids, cholic acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid. This process involves multiple steps, with cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) acting as the rate-limiting enzyme. It is effected by steroid hormones, inflammatory cytokines, insulin and growth factors.

Primary bile acids undergo dehydroxylation by bacteria in the small intestine, forming the secondary bile acids deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid, respectively. Deoxycholic acid breaks down fats. High protein diet increases deoxycholic acid. Excess lithocholic acid speeds up aging and is carcinogenic. Eating lost of fiber reduces lithocholic acid. Artichoke reduces lithocholic acid and stimulates bile production. If the vitamin D receptor is inhibited then lithocholic acid cannot be detoxed by the body.

Both primary and secondary bile acids are conjugated by the liver with an amino acid, either glycine or taurine. Conjugated bile acids are known as bile salts. Bile salts inhibit cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) , decreasing the synthesis of bile acids. Despite the increased water solubility of bile salts, they are amphipathic molecules overall (has both hydrophobic and hydropholic molecules). This critical property allows them to effectively emulsify lipids and form micelles with the products of lipid digestion. The bile acid pool is maintained via mainly the enterohepatic circulation and to a small extent (about 5%) by hepatic synthesis of bile acids, as long as the daily fecal loss of bile acids do not exceed 20% of the pool. Micelles help with fat absorption.

Venous blood from the ileum goes straight into the portal vein, and hence through the sinusoids of the liver. Hepatocytes extract bile acids very efficiently from sinusoidal blood, and little escapes the healthy liver into systemic circulation. Bile acids are then transported across the hepatocytes to be resecreted into canaliculi. The net effect of this enterohepatic recirculation is that each bile salt molecule is reused about 20 times, often two or three times during a single digestive phase. When the digestive system is healthy bile gets easily reabsorbed.

Chenodeoxy cholic Acid and Cholic Acid are the primary bile acids produced. From Chenodeoxy cholic Acid many other bile acids are produced.

Bile acid gets reabsorbed and returned to the liver to be recycled. There are secondary bile acids produced in our digestive tract by our gut bacteria. Our microbiome deconjugates bile. Deoxcycholic Acid is a secondary bile acid produced by our microbiome. It is recycled by the body and is conjugated with glycine or taurine and circulated with primary bile acids. It constitutes about 20% of biles acids.

Lithocholic Acid is a secondary bile acid. It is conjugated with glycine or taurine and sulfated producing sulfolithocholylglycine or sulfolithocholyltaurine. Lithocholic Acid is toxic and can destroy the liver. Sulfation is an important part of detoxing deconjugated bile acids. Sulfation of bile acids decreases their absorption rate which prevent them from reentering the liver so when sulfation is functioning properly then the body can easily detox the toxic bile. Sulfation can become inhibited by metabolic issues, high sulfur digesting bacteria raising hydrogen sulfide and sulfide levels in the body. If there are problems with the CBS or BH4 pathways sulfation can be effected. The SULT genes are effected by our hormones. A change in our gut bacteria, toxins, glyphosate, vaccine injury, infections, leaky gut and many other things can change our hormone levels. This can inhibit the ability for the liver to sulfate bile acids. The pregnane X receptor also know as the xenobiotic sensing nuclear receptor has been found to be inhibited in those with bile blockage disorders. Inhibited PXR can inhibit SULT genes. Those with upregulated PXR have been found to be protected from the negative effects of LCA. Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) is involved in sensing and removing endobiotic, and xenobiotic substances. It detoxes foreign substances and drugs. It has be found to protect form LCA when upregulated by inducing SULT genes. CAR is also involved in energy homeostasis. Fasting can induce CAR. Vitamin D receptor, Liver X receptor, and Farnesoid X receptor are also involved in sulfation and upregulation hve been found to protect from LCA. Most of those receptors have been found to be inhibited in those with bile blockage. Showing the importance of supporting their proper function.

When there is an obstruction biles acid can spill over into the blood stream through OST a and b transporters and also can enter the blood through Multidrug Resistance-associated proteins M1M3,M4 and M6. When there is an obstruction urinary excretion of bile is the primary route of bile removal. If this continues for an extended period of time it can lead to bladder irritation from the caustic effects of the bile acid to the bladder. Constipation form inhibited bile flow is common in interstitial cystitis. This can also take place through the organic acisd transporter.

This is an interesting article on bile acid blockage. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/1105662

When Lithocholic Acid cannot be sulfated it remains toxic. Lithocholic Acid is highly carcinogenic and causes cancer. High Lithocholic Acid levels inhibits cortisone production this can cause many health issues including chronic fatigue.

Cellulose has been found to increase the mucus membrane which improves bile flow.

Not sure where to go with this information but took note of it. High nitrogen levels increases bile acid oxidation, high hydrogen levels inhibits bile acid oxidation.

https://febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/1873-3468.13064

Medium Chain Fatty Acids stimulate bile production which decreases bacteroides and actinobacteria which has been found to be high in those with dysbiosis and inflammatory bowel disease. Low bile acid production increases levels of microbes that produce potent LPS. Tempo a product made from fermented soy has been shown to reduce bacteriodes and inhibit our microbes ability to produce bile salt hydroxolase which inhibits FXR receptor. By decreasing our microbes bile salt hydrolase bile production is restore which reduces the bacteria that inhibit bile flow. If you try this route you would want to use organic because the BT-Toxin and glyphosate found in soy products destroy the gut and alter our gut microbiome causing an increase in microbiota that have a negative impact on our health. The FXR receptor is responsible for homeostasis throughout the body. If the FXR receptor is inhibited a person will develop diabetes, dislipademia, cancer, metabolic disorders, atherosclerosis and renal diseases.

If a person has cholestasis stimulating bile will damage the liver and cause excess bile to enter the blood causing many other health problems. If a person has cholestasis they should not stimulate bile production. Elevated bile production is a sign and symptom of sepsis which indicates cholestasis.

Things that can cause cholestasis is drugs, infection, metabolic issues, gene issues, gut dysbiosis,inflammatory bowel diseases,hormone imblance, T cell imbalcance, excessive inflammation, toxins and many other things. If a person has cholestasis they will have dark colored urine and light colored stools. Pain in the abdomine, excessive itching, fatigue and nausea. In more severe cases the skin and eyes my get a yellow color.

You have to address the cause of cholestasis if it is drug induced then you may have to discontinue the use of the drug, address infection and inflammation, correct metabolic issues and gene issues. Work on reducing gall stones and oxalate stones.

Some things found to help with bile blockage. Gaur Gum, milk thistle, dandelion, vitamin K, Vit D, Calcium but we must make sure we get the right type, sunflower seed lecithen, antioxidants but do not over use homeostasis is the goal. We need some oxidative stress if we completely disable ROS we will defeat the purpose. Radishes have been shown to help with bile blockage. Cod liver oil helps with bile blockage, medium chain fatty acids help with bile blockage, curcumin helps with bile blockage but after a while it should be pulsed because it chelates iron from the body and can cause anemia. Activated charcoal helps with cholestasis but should not be taken close to meals or we will lose nutrients. Soaking in epsom salt and then getting far infrared, sunlight or halogen light gives us magnesium sulfate which helps with cholestasis. If it is caused by gall stones apple juice and apple cider vinegar has been found to reduce gall stones. Lemon juice has been found to reduce gall stones. I had to put lemon juice in water because straight lemon juice was to strong for me and made my stomach hurt. Artichoke has been found to reduce gall stones. We need a variety in our diets, eating poorly can cause bile stones. The more processed foods we eat the better our chances of getting them are. Losing weight too quickly can also cause gall stones. Low HDL levels can cause gall stones that can be caused by hormone imbalances especially high estrogen levels. Citrus fruits reduce gall stones especially the white part of the fruit. Rosemary has been shown to reduce gall stones. Pear juice has also been found to dissolve gall stones. Beet root, carrots and cucumber has been found to reduce gall stones. Drinking excess amounts of soda pop and consuming excess amount of processed sugar can cause gall stones and oxalate stones.

Excess vitamin C can cause oxalates but normal levels help dissolve oxalates. High meat consumption increases oxalates, excessive salt consumption can cause high oxalates, soda pop contains phosphoric acid which increases oxalates and causes kidney stones. Excess vitamin D intake can cause oxlates most do not recommend get more then 5000 IU of vitamin D and many say 60 IU is enough. High meat consumption can decrease citrate in the body, citrate prevents oxalates. If a person take magnesium citrate it should not be taken often because the body recycles citrate and it can build up in the body causing liver and kidney damage. If a person has metabolic issues that cause acidosis it can lead to oxalates, I post on addressing acidosis. DNA damage from oxidative stress or health issues can cause high uric acid levels which can increase oxalates. Omega 3 oils help reduce oxalates. Celery, carrots, pomegranate, watermelon, pumpkin seed oil. Helps reduce oxalates. Horsetail herb helped me a lot but has an alkaloid that can build up in the body so should not be taken more then three times a week. Citric acid not to be confused with vitamin C reduces oxalates this is why lemon is very good for reducing oxalates. Bear berry and uva ursa contain berberine which reduces oxalates and uric acid. Stinging nettles reduces oxalates and toxins that can cause oxalates. Stay hydrated but avoid water that has been chlorinated or fluorinated it is toxic an increases oxalates.

High Trymethylamines produced from our microbiome breaking down choline and carnetine is converted by Flavon Mono-Oxygenase 3 to Trymethylamine-N-Oxide. TMAO inhibits bile production. Olive oil has been found to prevent our gut microbiome from producing Trymethylamines.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4215539/

Crushed flax seed and oat haul increases bile flow.

If we do not correct the health issues causing our bile receptors to be inhbited it can lead to Non Alcohol Fatty Liver Disease.

Things that can break down scare tissue in the body is autophagy which I have posted on and HSP70 which is another thing I have posted on. Serrapeptase has been shown to break down calcium deposits and aggregates in the body. It must be used with caution. High dosage can start breaking down tissue in the body but low dose will reduce inflammation and help the body heal.

Things that can go wrong in the gut and how you may be able to correct them.

This is not medical advice I am posting this for educational and informational purposes.

Always remember homeostasis is the goal.

This is not finished but I need to work on other things and I figure this will give people a good foundation to research and build on.

If your gut becomes inflamed it will become leaky. You will stop absorbing nutrients. This can cause bile to become inhibited. If the gut is inflamed you can develop a burning pain. In more severe cases the pain will travel and a person will feel the burning pain under their right breast , it can even travel to the side below the arm pit. When it gets that severe they start developing a lot of food intolerance. So they are limited on what they can eat, also digestive enzymes can leak into the blood. From the digestive enzymes being in the blood and the body catabolizing the muscles they will also start to burn. This can also cause the calf muscles to hurt and feel heavy. When this occurs a person will need to keep snacking because when the gut is empty it will cause the inflammation to increase. They need to find foods they do not react to, so they can snack on them and always try to keep something in the gut.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is usually used when referring to pathogens. Our commensal microbes produce LPS which our body uses to identify them. Normally they are not harmful to the body and some of the other commensal consume LPS keeping levels down. But a loss of those commensal or leaky gut can cause LPS to enter our blood streams which can lead to sepsis so it is very important to protect and maintain the health of our guts.

If we develop leaky gut and do not correct it toxins like mercury that can be in our food and usually will get excreted can now easily enter the blood stream and a person may develop high levels of mercury, cadmium or other toxins in the body.

If you have leaky gut oxalates that usually get excreted can enter the body. It is very important to heal the gut because oxalates are very damaging to the body. Calcium will bond with oxalates preventing them from being absorb and is why if a person is lactose intolerant they need to work on correcting it because milk with meals would help prevent that. Some calcium supplements are not good for you so if you decide to take that route make sure you do your research. Once oxalates build up in your body it prevents the gut from healing so it is very important to reduce oxalate levels. I have posted on reducing oxalates.

There are 2 components to the intestinal barrier. Intrinsic barrier and extrinsic barrier.

Intrinsic barrier is composed of the epithelial cells lining the digestive tube and tight junctions that tie them together.

Our gut bacteria maintain the health of our gut but damage to our gut can inhibit FUT2 production. Our gut microbiome cannot get established if we are deficient in FUT2. Lactobacillus Casei increases FUT2 production by inducing ERK/JNK. Inducing ERK/JNK stimulates FUT2. Nitric Oxide induces ERK/JNK, arginine rasises NO levels. Hypoxia induces ERK/JNK. Interleukin 10 inhibits FUT2 so a person may want to be cautious when taking probiotics that stimulate IL-10. Lactobacillus species of microbiotia stimulate IL-22 especially L Johnsii. IL-22 stimulates FUT2 secretion.

Extrinsic barrier consist of secretions and other other influences like microbes that influences the epithelial layer but are not physically part of the epithelium cells and maintain their barrier function.

Intrinsic Intestinal Barrier.

The gut is lined by sheets of epithelial cells that define the structure of the mucosa they are tied together by tight junctions, which paracellular spaces and thereby establishing the basic gastrointestinal barrier. Paracellular spaces are were nutrients are transported into the blood stream and toxins can be transported to the intestines for removal. Toxins and microbes that are able to breach this barrier have unimpeded access to the circulatory system. The tight junction layer and the mucus membrane for the most part prevents this from happening when healthy. Some cells in the epithelial are not effected by acid but others do not have the protection so count on the mucus membrane to protect them.

Extrinsic Barrier

Mucus that coats the entire epithelium. Hormones and cytokines that regulate the function of our digestive system and maintain digestive health. Our gut microbiome are a part of the extrinsic barrier. They reside in the mucus membrane.

Tight junctions encircle the epithelial cells and are an important part of the intrinsic layer. Their permeability is regulated by zonulin.

Tight junction controls the equilibrium between tolerance and immunity to non-self antigens. It is involved in macromolecular transport and tolerance and immune balance. If the tight junction layer becomes too porous a person may develop autoimmunity and their bodies immune system will turn on the body and start causing autoimmune disorders. A person will develop food allergies and food intolerances. The longer this goes without being addressed the more a persons health will decline. They will develop many metabolic, genetic and immune dysfunctions. Many things can damage this vaccines have been shown to raise B cell levels which causes the tight junction layer to become more porous. BT Toxins in GMOs have been shown to cause the body to react in a way that the tight junction layer becomes more porous. Many farm chemical cause it to become more porous especially glyphosate and glufonisate cause it to become more porous. Stress and trauma can also cause the tight junction layer to become more porous.

Zonulin is the only intercellular modulator of the tight junctions. If zonulin becomes over expressed the gut becomes more porous leading to leaky gut. It is involved in the transport of macromolecules and in balance between tolerance and immune response balance. If zonulin becomes deregulated it can cause inflammatory bowel, anemia, systematic inflammation, red sore areas on the skin known as Sweet’s syndrome that can eventually develop into blisters that eventually turn ulcerative which is known as Pyoderma Gangrenosum. They can develop swelling and sores in the mouth. The eyes can become red sore and inflamed. This condition is called sceritis it can lead to uveitis which effects the iris and can lead to blindness. Bones may thin and become brittle. Oxalates will develop causing stone formation this can also effect the liver. Not only can it cause endogenous oxalates to be produced but now oxalates consumed in our foods that are normally excreted can readily enter the body. Gall stones may form because bile production and pancreatic enzymes become inhibited and a person can develop chronic diarrhea, constipation or alternate between the two.

When the bile is inhibited it is called Primary Schlerosing Cholangitis. From food particles and toxins entering the blood stream a person could start having excessive blood clotting. A person will start developing nutrient deficiencies from being unable to absorb and break down nutrients properly. A person will eventually develop high histamines if this continues they may develop asthma, they can start developing sarcoidosis throughout the body. Mast Cells can start to degranulate leading to mastocytosis or mast cell activation syndrome. This effects our immune system as you will see below. It can lead to diabetes, heart disease and many other chronic illnesses. It can also lead to obesity or anorexia depending on how the person has been effected.

In order to restore zonulin levels to normal the genetic, metabolic, oxidative stress, changes in ph for example if you have developed acidosis or alkalosis it will have to be addressed along with infections that come along with our immune system being disabled. I have posted on most of those issues and correcting them. There are three isoforms of zonulin. ZO- 1 , ZO-2 and ZO-3.

When we get an infection it is a sign we are lacking a nutrient or gut microbe that protects us. The infection produces lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which stimulates zonulin making our guts more porous. Also antibiotics can kill the butyrate producing gut bacteria which makes our gut more porous. Butyrate keeps many things at homeostasis. We cannot restore normal zonulin levels if we do not replace the butyrate producing bacteria and feed them with fiber, oligosaccharides, galactosaccharides, and fructooligosaccharides. The lower the diversity of our gut microbes the higher our zonulin levels will be showing that our digestive system needs feedback from a variety of microbes to function properly.

The fun part of all of this is they will tell you all this in in your head until you are so ill it will take months or years to heal. In the mean time they will still continue to treat the symptoms instead of the cause. It is a common theme with allopathic medicine. I have seen this with naturopathic also but for the most part naturopaths treat the cause and not the symptoms.

Things that can reduce zonulin is meditating, if you have experienced trauma work very heard to move forward. It is difficult not to look back but constantly looking back causes stress and can increase zonulin. Anger increases zonulin so try to learn to deal with frustration and bad situations in a calm way , the calmer we are the lower our zonulin levels will be.

Replace the butyric acid producing bacteria I listed many microbes that produce it if you search my blog.

Inflammation and immune dis-regulation and can increase zonulin so the microbes that increase T regulatory cells and inflammation will reduce zonulin. If your immune system has been disabled then microbiome that stimulates IL-10 will help restore immune function.

High LPS levels will increase zonulin so we need the gut microbes that reduce LPS. Studies have shown the higher our guts diversity the less ZO-1 is express which prevents leaky gut and inflammation.

Under normal conditions things with gliadin , glutin and lactose will not effect a healthy gut but increase zonulin when the mucus membrane is damaged.

There are many molecules that interact with each other to maintain the Zonulin layer and the tight junction layer.

Occludin plays a role in tight junction maintainence and assembly which is regulated by phosporylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine risidues. It is important for maintaining TJ stability and function. Loss of occludin can lead to leaky gut, inflammatory bowel, and hyperplasia most likely from the inflammation. Occludin also regulates cell survival or death through the intrinsic system. It is important in receiving and transmitting cell survival signals. Occludin has a strong inhibitory effect on cancer. Loss of Occludin leads to cell death.

If Phosphorylation of tyrosine, threonine and serine residues is inhibited it reduces occludins interaction with zonulin. Dephosphorylation of ser/thr residues and poor phosphorylation of tyr residues causes a reduction in occludins interaction with ZO-1 leading to it’s seperation from the junctional complex and TJ disruption. It also leads to excess ROS production which increases gut permeability. Inflammation reduces occludin levels. Endotoxins also reduce occludin. Another function of occludin is in modulating the TJ response to cytokines to protect and heal the tight junction. Occludin plays an active role in cellular location of caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 is required for cytokine induced TJ barrier changes, where it is required for TJ remodeling. So addressing endotoxins, high B cell or T cell levels and reducing inflammation is very important for preserving occludin. Many of our commensals that increase T regulatory cells balance our immune system which would restore proper T and B cell levels. Many of our commensal microbes reduce inflammation and reduce LPS (endotoxins). I have posted on my blog which of those accomplish these things. TNF-a is involved in caveiolinn-1 mediated internalization of occludin which increases occludin, alleviating cytokine induced gut permeability. This can be induced by TNF-a which is an inflammatory cytokine.

Mucous Membrane

The mucus membrane is thin in most inflammatory bowel diseases but is thick in Chron’s disease which I have not researched much on. Inflammtion usually causes the globin which are the mucin secreting cells to become depleted but for some reason this does not happen in Chron’s disease.

All these genes listed below are negatively effected by leaky gut. It is very important to reduce inflammation and work on getting the gut healed to restore the mucous membrane. Damage to the digestive system and mucus membrane causes many genes to become dis-regulated. MUC2 gene is the major gene responsible for the secretion of gel-forming mucin in the intestinal tract. It coats the endothelial surface protecting it from inflammation,chemicals, damage and infection. There are 20 MUC genes. There are many mucin categories that are enriched with proline, serine, and threonine. They are modified by o-glycosylation that creates oligosaccharides that confer on mucins their individual functions. Mucin is made mostly of fat. Those with inflammatory bowel and ulcerative colitis have low B-oxidation which is needed for the break down and use of fats. Since the mucous membrane is mostly fat this causes it to become dysfunctional. This makes people sensitive to fats and is why it is best if they consume medium chain fatty acids because the body can readily use them. Eggs yolks are a good source of phosphatidylcholine which is what the mucus membrane is mostly made of. Most with inflammatory bowel or colitis are sensitive to lecithin. I used sun flower seed lecithin and I did not react to it and it helped me a lot with my healing. Most other sources of lecithin I had to avoid. There are many studies showing that using sun flower seed as a source of lecithin has been shown to heal the gut. As for Chron’s disease I have a theory I have not had a chance to research but I believe they may be deficient in commensal microbes that digest sialic acid. Many of our commensals need it to thrive. Bacteroides Fragilis, Bacteroides Thetaiotaomicron, Bifidobacterium Bifido, Bifidobacterium Longhum, Bifidobacterium Infantis, Akkermansia Muciniphila all need sialic acid to thrive. Another theory I have about Chron’s that I have not gotten to research is they may have an overgrowth of those and that inflammation or LPS is stimulating the production of excessive sialic acid causing and overgrowth of those microbes.

Phospholipase A2 activity is higher in those with inflammatory bowel and colitis.

If a person is having trouble with methyl donors they will not produce enough phosphatidylcholine because methyl groups are used in the process of producing phosphatidylcholine for the mucous membrane. So combine that with the low B-oxidation and you see why it can be so difficult to heal. Disulfide bridges are also a component of phosphatidylcholine showing the importance of addressing things that can impair sulfation.

Phospholipase A2 is high in those with inflammatory bowel and colitis. Phospholipase is stimulated by inflammation. It is a mixture between inflammation and substance P and is why those with leaky gut have high substance P levels. When substance P levels get high the skin will have a burning sensation especially in the scalp and it may go down the spine. Substance P levels increase at night so the symptoms will worsen at night.

Annexin also known as lipocortin keeps PLA2 in check. Adrenal hormones increase Annexin but in many people with inflammatory bowel the adrenals become depleted from being over activated and they develop Addison’s disease which is a deficiency of adrenal hormones. Adaptogens help alleviate this which would help restore annexin levels. Annexin also helps repair our immune system. If annexin gets low the blood brain barrier becomes porous because it helps maintain the blood brain barrier. Annexin is also involved in protecting the brain from infection. It is very important to support the adrenals with the proper nutrients and to reduce inflammation so the adrenals can recover. Oddly Okadaic Acid a toxin found in shell fish increases annexin. This is something a person would definitely need an experienced medical professional to do. IL-6 increases annexin expression. To restore normal cortisol levels stress management is very important. Increased stress depletes cortisol. Getting rest is important, even if you cannot sleep just laying and resting can help increase cortisol. Avoid, caffeine, alcohol and smoking. Our mucosal layer will take up fats and integrate them to strengthen itself. Omega 3 oils, cod liver oil, nuts, and avocados help increase cortisol. Avoid processed sugar it depletes cortisol levels. Citrus fruits especially grape fruit increases cortisol but grape fruit inhibits certain cytochrome P450 enzymes so should not be eaten too often. Eat foods high in melatonin or take melatonin supplements at night which will increase cortisol. Non processed carbohydrates help increase melatonin. Magnesium is important for maintaining proper cortisol levels. Reducing inflammation can help normalize cortisol levels. Earth grounding and getting sunlight help to normalize cortisol levels. I still laugh when I mention earth grounding because I thought how could something so simple have so many health benefits. So I was determined to find research to show those earth grounders were crazy instead it was I who was crazy and the earth grounders are correct. I could find no research to prove them wrong but plenty of research showing the many health benefits of earth grounding.

We have to keep in mind goblet cells build our mucus membrane and when inhibited by inflammation, toxins or even damage to our digestive system our ability to produce mucin is reduced or inhibited. Bismuth even though it is a metal, is for the most part none toxic it takes very high doses for a very long time to reach toxic levels. It helps the gut heal. It kills many pathogens and can cause commensals that have turned pathogenic to go back to commensal. Mucilage helps protect the gut so it can heal. I have posted on reducing inflammation if you search my blog. Oatmeal is high in mucilage but you must get organic because they use glyphosate and glufonisate on grains and beans to dry them and those destroy our gut and kill our gut microbes. Three very good sources of mucilage is okra, arrow root and oatmeal. Make sure the oatmeal is organic. Most non organic oatmeal has farm chemicals that destroy the gut.

Here is an in depth article on mucus membranes.

https://www.readkong.com/page/the-interaction-of-the-gut-microbiota-with-the-mucus-1350713?p=1

Sialylation has been found to be increased in those with inflammatory bowel dieseases. Excessive sialylation increases inflammation. IL-10 inhibits Sialylation. Their are probiotics that increase IL-10 but IL-10 inhibits FUT2. So an oligosaccharide,galactosaccharride and fructosaccharide would probably have to be supplemented with it. I suspect the body is trying to increase the commensals that rely on the nutrients produced by sialylation and they have been depleted by antibiotics. Some commensals rely on FUT2 but others rely on sialylatin. Some do not produce the enzymes to break down sialic acid and rely on other commensals to produce it. A deficiency in either of them is probably what is causing the high sialylation. The body is trying to feed them. It is not getting the feedback from those commensals.

The bacteria this would help thrive are B Fragilis, B Theaiotaomicron, B Bifidum, B Longhum, B Infantis and A Muciniphila. I believe those with inflammatory bowel especially those with Chron’s will be deficient in those because those with Chron’s have a thicker mucous membrane.

The increased inflammation and infection caused by the above mentioned things results in an accumulation of ROS which can lead to further damage and it disturbs mitochondria function and autophagy. Once the mucus membrane has been damaged all the things mentioned below lose their protection and become dysfunctional. It may be necessary to take mucilage and bismuth to help protect them and restore their function. Once the mucus membrane breaks down it creates a cycle that has to be broken because the mucus membrane needs the things mentioned below to function properly and they need the mucus membrane to protect them and to function properly. Dysfunction in either of them from infection or toxins can start a cycle that has to be broken to heal. Our gut microbiome cannot become established without the mucus membrane because it also protects them. Our mucus membrane is a mediator between host and microbiota interactions. Decreased mucus membrane thickness causes a change in our gut microbiome and makes us more prone to infections.

This is where addressing sulfation issues, methyl group issues and issues with thiols comes in because the production of mucin requires all of those to be functioning. I have posted previously on how to deal with those issues. For the production of the oligosaccharides the endoplasmic reticulum and stem cell are required.

L-cysteine, L-arganine, L-threonine, L-serine, and L-cysteine increase mucin production in the digestive system and have been shown to promote gut microbiome homeostasis. Citrus fiber increases mucin especially the white part of the fruit. Pectin stimulates Goblet cell formation which secretes mucin. The microbiome that help restore gut health are Bifidobacterium Bifido, Bifidobacterium Breve, Bifidobacterium Lactis, Enterococcus Faecium, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactococcus Lactis

For those who do not have glutamate issues bone broth heals the gut very quickly. Those who have high levels of sulfur digesting bacteria will have problems with the consumption of bone broth also.

The small intestine is the portal for the absorption of most nutrients in the body. The chyme which is the digested food that has exited the stomach enters the small intestine pancreatic enzymes and bile is secreted. This breaks the food down and if functioning properly it will be almost liquid when it enters the lower intestinal tract. Bicarbonate is also added by the body to reduce the acidity before it enters the large intestine. The enteric nervous system and gastrointestinal hormones regulate this process and the intestinal motility. Intestinal dysbiosis can cause incorrect communication or inhibited communication which leads to inflammation, intestinal damage and it could lead to a loss of the ability to produce bile and digestive enzymes. To restore proper function we must reduce the microbe causing the problem. Those who have high sulfur digesting bacteria will develop high hydrogen sulfide levels which interferes with sulfation and can interfere with the proper function of the CBS and BH4 pathways. This can lead to high sulfide levels in the body. BH4 levels will become low causing ammonia to build up when protein is consumed. The high ammonia levels will cause some commensals to go into protection mode and they will become pathogenic. Candida and H Pylori are two examples. To make matters worse they also start producing ammonia to protect themselves from the acidic environment. The digestive tract is supposed to be acidic. Ammonia alkalizes it this also makes us more prone to infections because the commensal microbes that protect us cannot survive in an alkaline environment. When we lose our commensal bacteria we lose proper immune function and our zonulin levels increase and our gut becomes more porous leaving things enter the blood stream that could not normally enter. Inflammation and oxalates can inhibit bile flow causing it to back up, when this happens the gallbladder is effected. Instead of addressing the problem modern medicine gets rid of the symptom by removing the gallbladder thus the illness continues to worsen and taking the gallbadder out can contribute to it’s progression.

If bile becomes inhibited it inhibits the vitamin D receptor further inhibiting bile production and adding to the problem because cholesterol production and conversion becomes inhibited. This will make bile become sludgy leading to low bile flow which will increase estrogen levels and cause high unbound copper levels in the blood. Bitter herbs increase bile flow but the vitamin D receptor has to be addressed along with balancing the microbiome in the gut and healing the intestinal tract.

This is why I often times recommend grape seed extract and bacopa to people. It prevents thrombosis. Inflammation because endotoxins can cause thrombosis. Grape seed extract and bacopa reduce inflammation and prevent thrombosis. If thrombosis occurs in the portal vein it will effect the liver, pancrease, and digestive system. This causes pain in the stomach, bloating, inflammation, pancreatic pain, pain in the gallbladder. This can lead to death. Bile flow will become inhibited speeding up the progression of portal vein thrombosis. Those with hepatitis need to use hawthorne or something else. Resveratrol activates hepatitis.

portal vein thrombosis

gastrointestinal symptoms (ex: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), fever and constitutional symptoms (ex: fatigue, malaise, and anorexia/weight loss) [3]. We can also find hepatomegaly with elevated liver enzymes and jaundice [3], when associated with liver abscess or cholangitis [2]. Laboratory tests usually demonstrate elevated markers of inflammation [2]

https://www.journalmc.org/index.php/JMC/article/view/3050/2378

If not addressed in time it can lead to portal hypertension. This results in brain swelling, abdominal swelling . Confusion, anemia and low white blood cell count.

Autophagy is very important in maintaining health and we need a proper balance. It can be disrupted if we have intestinal damage. If autophagy is inhibited we become prone to infection and mitochondrial dysfunction. Autophagy is the housekeeper of our cells. One common theme you will see is inflammation and shows the importance of reducing inflammation. Which could involve diet changes, addressing metabolic issues, reducing toxins and infections. Addressing detox issues and detoxing in an appropriate manor for the individual. Addressing gene issues which could be caused by any number of things including a lack of the microbe in the gut that may modulate that genes function.

The mucus membrane in our digestive system protects us from infection, physical and chemical harm. Our commensal bacteria cannot exist without it. It is very important to restore our mucus membrane when damaged in order to restore intestinal homeostasis. Many genes mentioned below are effected when it is damaged because it causes a dysfunction in them. Autophagy is very important for the maintenance or proper gene function.

Paneth cells are located within our mucus membranes and provide immunity, prevent damage to the digestive system and is involved with nutrient absorption. Loss of our mucus membrane from loss of microbiotia, drugs or farm chemicals found in our food can destroy our mucus membrane. This causes damage to the digestive system which can further inhibit the bodies ability to produce mucin. This makes us more susceptible to infection. Paneth cells stimulate the production of AMPs which fight infection and modulate commensal microbiome and innate immunity. A list of AMPs are defensin-like human lyzosome, defensin (HD)-5 and 6, lyzosome, regenerating islet derived gamma(Reg3y), and phospholipase A2 group 2A(sPLA2) as well as inflammatory cytokines such as Transforming Tumor Necrosis Factor A (TNF-a), Growth Factor B1 (TGF-B1), and Postaglandin E2. AMPs are sensitive to ER stress which I discuss below.

Autophagy protects against infection by producing Antimicrobial Peptides and degrading organelles that break down misfolded proteins and AMPs break down pathogens. This can ease the over activated inflammatory response and over active immune response. Some AMPs are defensin and cathelicidens which protect against microbes.

Intestinal Epithelial Cells. (IECs) – form a physical and chemical barrier involved in inflammatory response and immune reaction. IECs work as an interface between the quantitive microbial ecosystem in the intestinal lumen. Lumen is inside space or opening in a tubular structure.

There are 6 types of IECs

Goblet Cells which secrete mucin to build up the mucin barrier.

Enteroendocrine cells which produce gastrointestinal hormones that communicate with the nervous system, the brain and organs throughout the body. They respond to nutrients within the intestines. Helps restore intestinal tissue.

Absorptive Enterocytes – epithelial cells in small intestine. They are involved in nutrient absorption, absorption of conjugated bile acid, lipid uptake, Issues with Absorptive Enerocytes can inhibit glucose absorption and can result in lactose intolerance and many other food intolerances. It can also result in an electrolyte imbalance. Enterocytes secrete a series of chemokines and cytokines which regulate immune responses of subjugant mucosal. (Mucosal control)

Tuft Cells – brush cells which are chemosensory cells in the intestinal epithelial lining. Tuft refers to microvilli projecting from the cells. They increase during parasite infection. They are the sole source of Interleuken 25 which induces NF-kB activation which helps protect from infection. High levels of IL-25 raises eosinophils which causes inflammation and is suspected of causing inflammatory bowel diseases. Eosinophils have been shown to kill many types of cancer cells. Infection also stimulates Tuft Cell to produce IL-25. They are increased through a T cell response through a type of lymphatic tissue. Tuft cell also secret endogenous opioids. Eosinophils cause asthma, cardiovascular disease and can even cause headaches, mood swings and brain fog.

Microfold Villous Cells – are found in the Gut-associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT) of the Peyers Patches in the small intestine and the Mucus-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). M Cells initiates mucosal immunity. They allow the transport of microbes and across the epithelial cell layer. From the gut lumen to the lamina propria. M cells contain Epidermal growth factor which acts as a sensor to stimulate repair through the intestines including the mucus membrane , tight junction protein layer and it stimulates goblet cell differentiation and many other things in the colon.

Endoplasmic Reticulum are organelles within our cells and plays a major role in the production of proteins and lipids. So this is where our enzymes , hormones and even our detox enzymes are produced.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is activated in response to unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. It stops the production of unfolded or misfolded proteins it is the quality control mechanism. It will stop production and start cleaning the bad proteins out. If it continues for too long then it will induce apoptosis which is cell death. If overactivated which vaccines and many farm chemicals can cause to happen it can lead to prion disease. It plays a valuable role in intestinal endoplasmic reticulum survival and function. Dysfunction of endoplasmic reticulum can result from genes that have been effected from infection, toxins, or even stress can result in abnormal UPR function. This is referred to as Endoplasmic reticulum stress.

ER stress activates three kinds of proteins which reside in the ER membrane to detect UPR in ER Lumen and resolve them. Autophagy reduces ER stress.

inositol-rquiring membrane kinase endonuclease1 (IRE1) via a really long pathway that I am certain you do not want me to type out. Issues with the genes involved in these mediators in intestinal endothelial cells will change the histological structure of the intestinal epithelium.

XBP1- inhibition will exhibit impaired Paneth Cells, which leads to dysbiosis and spontaneous intestinal inflammation which may induce activation of NF-kB pathway which can lead to inflammation, anxiety, chronic depression, insulin and leptin resistance, it increases risk of cardiovascular disease and high TH17 levels which can lead to psoriasis or lupus, Many who have intersitial cystitis have high TH17 levels. It can cause bone lose and Alzheimers. On the other end of the scale not enough NF-kB can produce many health problems. Like lower cognitive function, inhibited ability to heal, inhibited nerve growth and brain plasticity. This is a good article covering it in more detail. https://www.selfhacked.com/blog/nuclear-factor-kappa-b/

The second gene that can increase risk of inflammatory bowel disease is oromucoid-like3 (ORMDL3). Over expression can lead to immune/inflammatory diseases. It has been linked to childhood asthma. Over expression causes inhibited calcium buffering capacity of the mitochondria. This can disrupt endocytosis, enzyme control , cell growth and proliferation and cell apoptosis. ORMDL3 takes part in protein folding and in regulating UPR. It is believed ERs induced inflammation in paneth cells may disturb ORMDL3 levels leading to inflammation.

TREM1 (Triggering Receptor Expressed On Myeloid Cells-1) inhibits autophagy and increases ERs stress levels. This has been shown to increase the severity of inflammatory bowel diseases. Defective autophagy in the endoplasmic reticulum can predispose someone to inflammatory bowel diseases form a decreased clearance of IRE1 during ERs. High IRE1 levels impairs insulin signaling this can lead to many metabolic diseases. TREM1 can either increase inflammation or decrease it. During infection TREM1 increases inflammation. TREM1 also interacts with other inflammatory pathways which can also result in TREM1 increasing inflammation. TREM1 is high during septic shock. Sustained increased levels of TREM1 can lead to inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. TREM1 is needed to help clear infection. Unfortunately when an infection that contains OspA protein that are difficult for the body to clear like HIV and Borellia (Lyme Disease) it can cause TREM1 levels to remain high. This is why it is very important to work on reducing inflammation and address infection. Most infectious diseases there are no test for and the test they do have has a high failure rate at detecting the microbe responsible for the illness. But the body and what genes are effected and cytokines present can indicate when there is an infectious agent present. The more difficult infections can be killed but it takes a multilevel approach because most that carry the OspA take multiple forms and have to be addressed differently for each form it has taken.

Inflammatory bowel disease have been shown to have a dis-regulation of T Cell which can be induced by toxins, drugs, vaccine injury, farm chemical or processed foods.

Autophagy is a conserved lysosome-dependent catabolic process involved in degrading and recycling aggregates as well as damaged organelles. Enhancement of autophagy promotes the survival of various cells including intestinal endothelial cells, and nuetrophils by protecting them from microbial toxins. A disturbance in autophagy could disturb the function of intestinal endothelial cells and influence inflammatory response, immune response, ROS levels and endoplasmic reticulum stress. This can lead to inflammatory bowel diseases. Autophagy plays a vital role in alleviating of intestinal inflammtion, degredation of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPS), which can help prevent inflammatory bowel diseases. PAMPs refer to various kinds of endogenous materials produced by stress, impaired or dying cells covering DNA, RNA, ATP, histones, hyaluronan, uric acid, heparin sulfate, the S100A calgranulins, IL-1, HSP, and chromatin-associated high motility box1(HMGB1).

Basal autopaghy occurs in nearly every cell to maintain homeostasis of the ammino acid pools. There are three types of autophagy.

Macropahy – targets material such as cytoplasmic components or invasive bactria which are surrounded by a double-membrane bound autophagosome.

Autophagosome when combined with lysosomechanges into a single-layer membrane autolysome with a strong degradative and digestive ability.

Microautophagy – during the process of microautophagy lysosomal/vacuolar membranes invaginate (fold in on itself) to engulf intracellular components via a non-selective degradative mechanism.

Chaperone-mediated autophagy transports organelles and proteins into lysosomes only with the assistance of chaperones which are located in lysosomal lumen. Chaperons are proteins that assist in convalent folding or unfolding and the assembly or disassembly of other macromolecular structures. They assist in the assembly of nucleosomes which are basic units of DNA.

Two steps of Autophagy.

The first step of autophagy cup-shaped double membrane phagophores are shaped in the cytoplasma of the cell, and then misfolded proteins, damaged organelles or bacteria are engulfed to become sperical double membraned autophagosomes. Autophagosomes are usually considered to be produced from the nucleation and membrane expansion of phagophores.

During the second step autophgosomes fuse with lysosomes and endosomes to form a single-lipid layer autolysome, which is regard as basal units for degradation and digestion. Autophagy process is induced by the detection of various specific cues such as starvation or invasion by pathogens.

Two proteins are known to participate in autophagy which include Mammaian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) as an inhibitor and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase as an indicator. mTOR is often activated by lower levels of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) caused by nutrient sufficiency or several growth factor stimulations. mTORC1 inhibits autophagy in the presence of nutrients. mTORC1 regulates glycolysis, lipid biosynthesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway has been found to be under the control of mTORC1. mTORC1 mediates upregulation of SREBP-1 activity which is necessary for lipid biogenesis. mTORC1 increases mitochondrial DNA copy number and as well as encoding many genes involved in oxidative metablolism. It has been found that mTORC1 promotes transcriptional activity of PPARy coactivator (PCG-1a) which is usually low in those who have inflammatory bowel diseases. This leads to the inability to break down fats and cholesterol causing many health problems because lipids are needed by almost all cells of the body especially the digestive system to maintain proper function and health. Ironically mTORC1 inhibition leads to longer lifespan. mTORC1 inhibits autophagy. mTORC1 increases NRF2 activity the master regulator of the antioxidant system.

Excess mTORC1 activation can cause endoplasmic reticulum stress and excess ROS production.

Low ATP levels inhibits mTORC1. Inhibiting mTORC1 increases glucose uptake. Hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) inhibit mTORC1. Amino Acid deprivation can inhibit the citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) this also inhibits mTORC1. The body inhibits mTORC1 when it senses DNA damage. Autophagy reactivates mTORC1 whose activity then promotes the replacement of lysosomes consumed during autophagy.

Symptoms of excess mTORC1 . Since there is no information on what excess mTORC1 does I will have list the symptoms of inhibited autophagy and high ROS levels since those are issues caused by high mTORC1 levels.

Symptoms of inhibited autophagy. Nuerological problem , inhibited autophagy can lead to inflammation in the brain, mental illness. Mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased antioxidant function which can lead to high levels of ROS. Pancreatic inflammation. Fat accumulation throughout the body and can lead to fatty liver disease. Issues with lysosomal storage, diabetes and sickle cell anemia. Frequent illness from infectious agents.

Symptoms of high ROS. ROS is needed for redox signaling but becomes damaging if levels get too high. High levels of ROS cause inflammation. Leaky gut and can cause a leaky blood brain barrier. This also can lead to nuerological damage and brain inflammation causing mental illness. Can cause liver damage resulting in a hepatic liver. Fatigue from reduced energy levels. Mitochondrial dysfunction which can lead to MS. Here is a link to a good article on oxidative stress.

https://www.selfhacked.com/blog/oxidative-stress-101/

Things that stimulate mTORC1. Resistance training, amino acid L-Luecine, Beta Hydroxy Beta-methylbutyric acid which is a precursor of butyric acid. High intake of Iron stimulates mTORC1.

Inhibitors of mTORC1 are green tea, resveratrol, curcumin, caffeine and alcohol. Iron deficiency inhibits mTORC1. Green tea can damage the liver if taken for too long and curcumin chelates iron so can make a person anemic if consumed too long.

VDR

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the activities of vitamin D3 which is the activated form of vitamin D. A deficiency can effect our digestive system in many ways. The VDR is involved in regulating 33% of the genes in the body so problems with it can effect many things. VDR and Retinoid X receptor interact to with each other and can activate each other so issues with either one can effect vitamin D homeostasis. Inhibited VDR effects calcium homeostasis, electrolyte balance, and blood pressure.

Vitamin D3 acts as a hormone a hormone and helps regulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Those with low vitamin D levels or inhibited VDR receptor are prone to infection with Mycoplasma Tuberculosis. VDR is involved in producing the antimicrobial peptide/IL-37, defensin beta B, CLDN2 encoding claudin 2 and ATG16L1 related autophagy which protects us from inefection.

The VDR receptor is involved in gut microbiome balance and autophagy. Autophagy is the house keeper of our cells it helps clean them out, protect them from infection and helps to prevent misfolded proteins. Inhibited vitamin D receptor can cause inhibited bile flow and a decrease in LDL and increase in HDL. The reduced LDL causes bile to become sludgy which leads to biliary issues and gallbladder problems and can result in gall stones and biliary blockage.

When the VDR receptor is inhibited or there is a vitamin D deficiency we can develop inflammatory bowel diseases. IKBa is an inhibitor of pro-inflammatory NF-kB.

VDR inhibition or vitamin D deficiency alters the composition of intestinal microbiome. Butyrate producing bacteria become less numerous. Butyrate increases expression of VDR so a deficiency in Butyrate would further add to the inhibition of the VDR receptor. Butyrate also suppresses intestinal inflammation and enhances AMPs. AMPs help protect us from infection.

Toxins, mold toxins, infection and a lack of nutrients can inhibit the vitamin D receptor. High levels of vitamin D3 indicates the body has recognized an infection and is trying to fight it.

Farm chemicals especially glyphosate and glufonisate inhibit the vitamin D receptor. Many toxins found in processed food can also inhibit the vitamin D receptor.

Symptoms of inhibited VDR.

If the VDR is inhibited a person may experience problems with methyl donors and low dopamine levels. They may experience frequent infections and be low in GcMAF. Inhibited VDR can cause bone loss, hair loss, brain fog, increased TH17 levels resulting in lupus, psoriasis and/or skin rashes, tooth decay and poor oral health, inflammation throughout the body, can lead to high blood pressure. Low LDL which inhibits bile production resulting in biliary and gall bladder problems and can lead to stone formation. Electrolyte imbalance and iron deficiency. Low dopamine and GABA levels is a result of VDR inhibition. Prolactin level become low when VDR is inhibited. Gut dysbiosis and inflammation in the digestive system. Increased creatine and albumin levels and decreased alkaline phosphatase are symptoms of low vitamin D or inhibited vitamin D receptor. VDR inhibition or vitamin D deficiency can result in mast sell activation syndrome. CYP3a4 an enzyme needed for detoxing xenobiotics and drugs becomes inhibited. Hormonal imbalance is also a result of VDR inhibition. Hashimoto’s syndrome can result from VDR inhibition. Heart disease can be a result of VDR receptor inhibition or vitamin D deficiency. In more severe cases VDR inhibition can lead to liver and kidney disease.

Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency.

Joint stiffness or pain, back aches, tooth decay, bleeding gums or gum disease, muscle cramps, hair loss, bone loss, weakening of bones, increases risk for cancer, sleep apnea, brain fog, fatigue, depression, leaky gut, excess sweating especially in the head area.

Excess vitamin D can lead to many health problems and can result in loss of bone from a disruption in the mechanisms that control calcium homeostasis. Though it is needed for calcium absorption high doses can have the opposite effects. High levels of vitamin D can lead to oxalate formation. Many studies show anything over 5000 IU a day can lead to oxalate formation and many health problems.The recommended daily allowance of vitamin D is 600 IU. It is best to get vitamin D from food sources. Exposure to sunlight, far infrared, halogen lights can increase the bodies production of vitamin D. Short term raised levels have been found to be beneficial but long term raised vitamin D levels have been found to be harmful to our health. High levels of vitamin D can contribute to the inhibition of the VDR. Excess vitamin D can result in high levels of calcium in the blood resulting in calcium deposits forming in the organs including the lungs.

Sources of vitamin D. Sunlight, halogen lights, far infrared light increases the bodies production of vitamin D. Excess sunlight has been shown to cause high levels of vitamin D and is why life guards have some of the highest rates of kidney stones. Fish oil contains vitamin D. Sardine , salmon and cod liver oil are good sources. I try to make sure the fish is not from contaminated areas. Most sea food is high in vitamin D. Mushrooms and eggs are a good source of vitamin D. Animal liver is another good source of vitamin D. Cestrum Diurnum, Waxy leaf nightshade (solanum glaucophyllum), yellow oat grass (trisetum flavescens) are plant sources of vitamin D. Those plants are so high in vitamin C that they cause calcinosis in grazing animals. Brown and read seaweed are also sources of vitamin D and cholesterol. Mercury found in fish is for the most part only a problem if we have leaky gut. When the gut is intact only about 5% of the toxins like mercury get absorbed that have been consumed and when healthy the body can easily detox that amount unless it is shot directly into the blood stream. I mention this because even though they claim vaccines do not contain mercury some still do.

Things needed for the body to be able to use vitamin D. Vitamin K2, Vitamin A, zinc, sulfur is needed to sulfate vitamin D so sulfation issues need to be addressed. Magnesium increases the bodies response to vitamin D. Boron increases vitamin D in the blood stream. Water is needed, dehydration inhibits many receptors in the body. Silica helps improve the function of many receptors in the body. Sunlight helps to sulfate nutrients. DAO and lysine are also needed to sulfate vitamin D. Boron is touchy, low levels reduce estrogen high levels increases estrogen.

Things that enhance vitamin D receptor activity. Parathyroid hormone, Sirt 1, Dopamine, Omega 3 , Omega 6, Phytoestrogens, Testosterone, Postaglandulins and bile activates VDR. Bitter herbs stimulate bile production. Even if you do not swallow bitter herbs just tasting them stimulates bile production. Resveratrol activates the vitamin D receptor. Querciten enhances vitamin D receptor activity. Curcumin stimulates the vitamin D receptor but if taken for too long it can lead to anemia because it chelates iron from the body. So one may use it at first to help stimulate the VDR receptor but probably should just take maintenance doses to make sure it continues to function. Human Growth Hormone stimulates the vitamin D receptor. Sleep, fasting, and strength training increase HGH.

Things that can inhibit VDR are cortisol/glucocorticoids, high prolactin levels, imbalance in thyroid hormones, TGF-Beta, phosphatonins which regulate phosphate homeostasis, and ubiquitin can inhibit VDR. Many of these things are inhbited by autophagy which would prevent them from inhibiting the VDR receptor. Caffeine can also inhibit the VDR. High TGF-B levels can be an indication of T cell imbalance and/or B cell imblance. Probiotics that reduce inflammatin and increase T regulatory cells should reduce TGF-B. High phosphatonins is a sign of low klotho levels. Exercise increases klotho, Most Acidophilus bacteria and Lactobacillus Lactis increases klotho. Cordyceps mushrooms increase kltoho. PPAR Gamma activators stimulate klothos, Some PPAR gamma activators are berberine, magnolia, and Omega 3s. Those who are obese should not stimulate PPAR gamma because they are usually PPAR gamma dominant. Adaptogenic herbs like suma root and maca root can help normalize adrenal levels. Ubiquitin levels are reduced by autophagy. High prolactin levels can result from toxins in plastic containers used to store food and some farm chemicals found in our food supply. There are also chemicals in processed foods that can cause high prolactin levels. Those who are taking drugs should not use berberine or things that contain it because it inhibits the cytochrome P450 enzymes needed to detox medications.

Fulvic acid and nobiline induce autophagy. We do not want to overstimulate autophagy. Fasting also stimulates autophagy but those who are Type1 diabetics have to be careful fasting can induce ketoacidosis in them. Branch Chain fatty acids can inhibit autophagy. Tumeric, ginger, berberine, gensing, mushrooms and elderberries can stimulate autophagy.

NOD2 – Nucleotidebinding Oligomerization Domaincontaining Protein 2 whew that was a lot. A member of the NLP family which is a group of immune regulating proteins. It is a sensor of muramyl dipeptide which is a constituent of both gram negative and gram positive bacteria. It is found in macropages and paneth cells. When inhibited a-defensin numbers are decreased, lower sensitivity to bacteria infection, and altered immune function from Toll Like Receptors becoming suppressed. This results in the inability to clear bacteria infections from the intestines. Inate and adaptive immunity is impaired. Nod2 induces autophagy through the NOD2 pathway. NOD2 is induced by NLP or bacteria infection, this promotes the delivery of NOD2 which enhances inflammation. Showing that if You have high NOD2 levels you would not want to induce autophagy. NOD2 prevents infection in cells which is mediated by ROS and MAPK pathways. NOD2 altered expression can lead to inflammatory bowel disease. Many cellular proteins interact with NOD2 directly and regulate it’s function positively or negatively. Among these proteins is Erbin. Erbin regulates Erbb2 if Erbin is inhibited Erbb2 levels can go up resulting in cancer growth. Centaurin B1 which I have no idea what it’s function is. Angio-associated migratory protein which is involved in endothelial tube formation and endothelial cell migration. It is involved in angiogenesis. Carbamoyl-phosphate synthase 2 is involved in the production of nucelotides in cells. Mitogen-activated protein 1 which helps down regulate NOD2. Heat shock protein 90 interacts with NOD2. HSP90 is involved in folding , intracellular transport and the degradation and maintenance of proteins. I have post on heat shock proteins like HSP90 and HSP70.

NOD deficiency. NOD2 is involved in maintaining balance between the microbiome and immune response. NOD2 deficiency results in loss of epithelium integrity, and increased susceptibility to intestinal inflammation. NOD2 deficiency can cause dysfunction in intestinal paneth and goblet cells. Deficiency increases IFN-y, and decrease ROS production which protects from infection so we need a balance because excess ROS can damage tissues in the body.

NOD2 upregulation. Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to increase NOD2 which helps to fight infection. Excess NOD2 can lead to rheumatoid arthritis, and systematic inflammation. Excess NOD2 has been linked to cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease. NOD2 prevents inflammation in the eyes.

NOD2 deficiency causes low TH17 levels, inhibited immunity, and will be more prone to cancer. NOD2 is also involved in the detection and eradication of viruses.

Excess NOD2 causes systematic inflammation and sarcoidosis. Often times it is mistaken for cancer or copd. High NOD2 levels is a sign of infection.

Damage to the mucus membrane and intestinal tissue can cause it’s dis-regulation. This shows the importance of restoring mucus membrane and work on healing the gut.

Atg16L1

Autophagy-Related Protein 16-like Protein 1 – Deficiency in Atg16L1 impairs recruitment of Atg12-Atg-5 complex which impairs the engulfment of pathogens and cellular organelles during the process of autophagic catabolism. Atg16L1 defeciency cause Paneth cell dysfunction and increases inflammation. Atg16L1 causes high leptin and adiponectin levels. A deficiency in Atg16L1 leads to intestinal lesions. Leptin tells the brain we do not need to eat. Leptin increases inflammation in the body. High leptin levels lead to chronic fatigue. Leptin can cause Th1 dominance. Those with high IL-10 levels would want to avoid probiotics that increase IL-10 because leptin increases IL-10. Leptin causes mast cells to become more inflammatory. Leptin causes lower T regulatory cells which keep our immune system at homeostasis. Leptin can cause excess blood clotting (throbosis). Leptin can cause high blood pressure. Leptin increases estrogen levels. Adiponectin is a protein hormone involved in glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. High adiponectin levels causes a loss of appetite it causes weight loss and works synergistically with leptin. Adiponecton decreases gluconeogenesis. It increases B-oxidation of fats. It protects against endothelial dysfunction. It increases insulin sensitivity. So you can see the importance of Atg16L1 homeostasis.

Mir223 restores autophagy and Atg16L1 homeostasis. Mir233 downregulates inflammation. Mir233 is reduced in sepsis. Mir233 increase HDL cholesterol levels. But Mir233 is upregulated in inflammatory bowel diseases. Increasing Claudin-8 inhibits Mir233 inflammatory effects.

ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species)

ROS or Reactive Oxygen Species modulates cellular function under normal conditions. ROS is produced during the process of oxidative phosphorylation and can be handled by instracellular antioxidants. Injury, toxins , vaccine injury, infection, and stress can cause an over production of ROS which can exceed the generation of antioxidants leading to oxidative stress which can cause a lot of damage throughout the body. It causes inflammation, cell damage and even cell death. When the mitochondria become dysfunctional this can cause a rearrangement of the cytoskeleton which is framework of the plasma membrane and effects the balance between kinases, and phosphatases which promotes the ability of microorganisms to enter the cell and contributes to many inflammatory diseases. Excess ROS increases the permeability of intestinal epithelial. When levels of ROS are normal it will induce autophagy and microphagy which reduces inflammation. Reducing ROS levels too low can have the opposite effect because it would prevent it from inducing autophagy and we would lose the protection it gives us from infection.

Antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress but when homeostasis is achieved a person should only take maintenance doses. Over use of antioxidants can promote cancer by protecting it from apoptosis it also increases our risk of infection by reducing ROS levels too low.

Xenophagy

Xenophagy is the clearance of pathogens regulated by autophagy. Reduces Xenophagy leads to alterations of intestinal microbiota. This leads to a higher rate of infection. The microbiotia induce xenophagy in basal paneth cells which is induced by INF-y to maintain intestinal integrity. This impairs sensing of intracellular micro organisms in the intestinal endothelial cells and contributes to the progression of inflammatory bowel disease. Showing the importance on healing the intestinal tract so that the mucus membrane can be restored. Prebiotic fiber and the tryptophan metabolizing gut microbiota increases IFN-y. The commensal strains of E Coli increases IFN-y. Lactobacillus Gasseri increases IFN-y. Bacteroides Fragilis increases IFN-y and has been found to protect from many types of infections. Butyric Acid must be present to maintain IFN-y homeostasis. So it would also be a good idea to make sure the butyrate producing microbes are established.

IRGM (Immunity Related GTPase Family M protein) – is involved in killing of bacteria, vacuolar trafficking and acidification, it is also involved in autophagy. It is involved in fighting mycoplasmas. Damage to the digestive tract can impair it’s function which wold make you susceptible to mycoplasma infection. Inflammation inhibits IRGM. Our digestive tract needs to be acidic. If it becomes to alkaline then it creates an environment that promotes infection and dysbiosis and we lose our commensal microbiota.

Learn the truth about vaccines.

This is not medical advice I am posting this for informational and educational purposes. Whether you vaccinate or not is up to you bad do your research. It can change your whole families life because vaccine injury is real and millions of dollars are awarded every year to victims of vaccine injury and families. Unfortunately some vaccine injury is so severe the family has to deal with a permanently severely disabled family member the rest of their lives which can take it’s tool on the family and death often occurs. Know the risk and make your decisions based on an unbiased and balanced view of the information.

 

Wonder why so many children are getting cancer? Vaccinations and the poor kids don’t stand a chance because they get injected with them as soon as they are born.

https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/07/22/what-they-dont-want-you-to-know-about-cancer-and-why-so-many-children-are-getting-it/

Wonder why so many children are ill now days. Vaccinations and vaccine injury is not always obvious and can take years before it starts to present itself as an autoimmune issue. They will blame it on genes but that is not true. That is like saying that bullets do not kill and injure but it is the persons susceptibility to injury and death that has caused the injury or death. All vaccines injure 100% of the time. All vaccines contain harmful toxins and many contain aborted fetal tissue or animal tissue.

https://iamajuicer.wordpress.com/2018/07/13/identifying-vaccine-injury-and-its-cost-to-society/?fbclid=IwAR31kQpnSEUnkctCTzVwWzzVd3e4QyNG2IAO2Rwi4Sb2u4qf4y9ZYWawcuk

If you do research you will find that disease rates took a dramatic drop when better sanitation practices were implemented as man became aware of what caused illness. And also as nutrition became more available disease declined dramatically. Very shortly after vaccines were introduced disease has taken a dramatic climb and has risen every since because vaccines cause and spread disease they do not prevent illness. Vaccines have been found to be the cause of the new super bugs.

They renamed polio flaccid myelitis because they had realized toxins and vaccines were the cause of polio.

Germ theory which vaccines are based on is incorrect and has been proven to be, so vaccine research is flawed from the start. How our immune system works is nothing like we are taught in school.

Vaccines have major toxins. Some toxins they put in vaccines require a hazmat team to clean them up if they are spilled and have been banned in many other products but they permit their use in vaccinations. Toxins alter our genes but then the vaccine producers will blame a persons genes when they have an adverse reaction to them.
