7 Surprising Causes of Autoimmune Diseases They Never Told You About

i’d like to share seven surprising underlying causes to autoimmune diseases now the reason i’m talking about this topic is because it’s literally an epidemic out there there’s so many people that are developing autoimmune diseases all over the planet and i’m going to talk about what i think is going on now the quantity of people getting autoimmune diseases is ranked number three after cancer and heart attacks yet there’s other reports that show that it there’s more people with autoimmune disease than both of those combined in fact the top-selling drug on the planet is an anti-inflammatory that deals with autoimmune diseases so the question is what the heck is going on what is causing our own immune system to turn on us and attack our own tissues that’s weird isn’t it so to answer that question i think it’s not a good question i think there’s a better question because if you look up the underlying cause of autoimmune diseases it’s going to say unknown it could be genetics it could be environmental we just don’t know we need to do more research but a better question to ask would be this what causes an immunodeficiency or an immunosuppressive state in your body or your immune system is suppressed to the degree that it’s non-functional so this barrier this wall this defense of your immune system somehow is lowered to the point where things can then happen and your body can incorrectly tag the wrong thing and end up with a bit of a friendly fire it’s kind of like if let’s say for example you have to go to court right and there’s a jury there and maybe there’s confusion and they incorrectly label you as guilty and now they tag you as an enemy and then now you have to suffer all the consequences that go along with that well with an autoimmune disease the same thing happens your own tissue is incorrectly labeled and now your immune system attacks that and then you have all this collateral damage that occurs from the inflammation that’s caused by your own immune system now another interesting question that also relates to this would be what makes your microbes that are in a dormant state like for example epstein-barr virus it goes into this dormant latent stage and then one day it comes out and it ends up attacking us right so the question is why what’s the difference between before and now there’s even a condition where your immune system becomes suppressed and friendly bacteria morph into unfriendly bacteria or microbes that are neutral they’re kind of they’re not hurting you or helping you turn on you that’s called an opportunistic infection where your immune system is taking advantage of a situation and then the problem medically with these conditions is that they’re just managed okay they just manage them with more medication like prednisone and then the side effects just continue they don’t really know what to do with this condition now what you might know about autoimmune diseases is that they’re triggered by certain chemicals in the environment okay maybe toxins leaky gut okay definitely if you have any type of digestive issues or even thyroid issues i mean certain things like bad eating can create holes in your gut that then cause proteins to leak through your gut so then your immune system incorrectly tags those as foreign proteins and then we have this whole immune reactions now certain drugs can cause autoimmune diseases cortical steroids are a well-known thing that can trigger autoimmune diseases and of course chemotherapy but let’s talk about the underlying causes that you might not be aware of okay and this is actually quite interesting number one excessively clean environments okay as a child is exposed to this planet they’re born with part of their mother’s immune system it’s called the innate immune system and then they develop the acquired immune system as they acquire it by being exposed to the environment and interacting with microbes and then developing their immunity that’s why it’s important not to have someone be in such a sterile environment all the time because there’s no training for the immune system so it’s normal for kids to get sick so if a child gets sick and you quickly stop the fever or give them medication to suppress it they never really develop a good immune system and there’s something called the hygiene hypothesis and they found that kids that are in a sterile environment they’re not around microbes too much they have a higher risk of getting autoimmune diseases down the road especially versus kids that are raised on the farm or kids that are around pets or kids that are not in a sterile environment which is interesting number two okay i’m not going to even mention this i’m going to just show you the book okay the textbook which is 120 you can buy it on amazon and you can very clearly see this connection which i’m not i can’t really talk about but there’s a huge connection between this topic and autoimmune diseases and you can research this data yourself but this book which i have as a textbook goes through some seriously credible information on something that’s probably not going to be in the news all right number three infant formulas wow instead of breastfeeding if a child is put on infant formulas their tendency to get autoimmune or the risk for getting autoimmune goes up okay and i’ll put that research down below which is actually another interesting and surprising thing that people don’t connect the dots with number four a problem with the vdr what is vdr vitamin d receptor there’s some good research which i will put down below that talks about improving autoimmune diseases with correcting the vitamin d receptor so vitamin d is not a vitamin it is a very uh powerful steroid okay in the body that is intimately connected with your immune system there’s over 19 000 genes that they have identified with vitamin d so every part of your immune system needs vitamin d in fact vitamin d regulates your immune system okay and if you don’t have enough you’re very susceptible to getting an autoimmune disease in fact i would venture to say that every single person who has an autoimmune disease is low in vitamin d but you can have a problem genetically with the vitamin d receptor the term is called a polymorphism and if you have that you’re more at risk of developing autoimmune diseases as well and these darn microbes both bacteria and viruses have a strategy of blocking the vitamin d receptor because apparently they have the intelligence to know that if they shut that down the entire immune system is shut down so you’ll see in the next slide what we’re going to recommend to improve this vitamin d receptor which actually even goes beyond just taking vitamin d very interesting number five this is a big one losses which is a major stress event okay when i was in practice i would always ask a person who has an autoimmune disease when did it start what happened just before i’m gonna tell you it was a hundred percent of the people that told me this occurred after a major loss in their life a death a divorce a loss of a job things that are related to stress in general can trigger an autoimmune disease because when you increase cortisol which suppresses the immune system okay it lowers your white blood cells it leaves you vulnerable and susceptible to things happening where your immune system is misidentifying certain things and this is why one of the major treatments for autoimmune diseases is a synthetic version of that cortisol called prednisone but the problem is it comes with a lot of side effects number six antibiotics interesting that relates to number seven loss of the microbiome right so when you don’t have all the right microbes in your gut either whether you killed them or some other reason you’re more susceptible why because 80 of your immune system is your microbiome okay it’s these microbes
