let’s talk about how one would put their autoimmune disease into remission of course we can’t say cure but we can say remission it’s called spontaneous remission I’ve done a lot of videos on autoimmune diseases but I recently found some fascinating new information I want to share with you because if you have an autoimmune disease and you want to put in remission you need all the data you need to know this one very important fact there’s been some recent research finding a huge link between this virus Epstein-Barr virus and many of the autoimmune diseases now here’s the thing you might say well this doesn’t apply to me well guess what 90 of the population has had Epstein-Barr virus but here’s the thing the unique thing about the Epstein-Barr virus that’s different from a lot of other viruses it can go in the remission okay it can kind of go away and it can also come out of remission in other words it goes in this dormancy state where it just kind of sits there and waits for the right environment and see normally when your immune system is exposed to a virus your immune system fights it off it develops antibodies and now it’s it has an immunity against that virus but the Epstein-Barr virus is different Epstein-Barr virus has this ability to infect certain immune cells and actually reprogram them and alter their function you see normally it’s really our own proteins that can turn on or turn off certain genes but with this Epstein-Barr virus it can actually bypass that and alter our genes unfortunately so it makes this protein which can bind and control your genes and actually trigger autoimmune diseases if the right environment occurs let me explain what I mean by that when we’re talking about autoimmune diseases there’s a certain immune cell called the T helper cell 17 that’s always involved in autoimmune diseases and without trying to get into the details of that all you need to know is that this cell can either protect you against autoimmune diseases or creating situation where it can cause an autoimmune disease with how it deals with inflammation and whether it protects you or harms you it really depends on the environment of that T Cell the environment which is really related to your epigenetics so this explains why some people develop autoimmune diseases and some people don’t even know they’re exposed to Epstein-Barr virus like I said before 90 of the population has been exposed to Epstein-Barr virus it is one of the most common viruses that we’re exposed to so we are going to talk about how to create an environment to bulletproof yourself and keep these autoimmune diseases in remission it’s called the kissing disease okay this is why probably a lot of people get it in high school it can create what’s called infectious manuculosis which affects your lymph nodes your throat a fever it can be really nasty I had it in high school of course after kissing someone and it it was just devastating it literally couldn’t breathe and I think it lasted for two weeks and it was terrible but it’s not highly contagious okay but it does spread through saliva blood semen and it’s also a herpes virus for and like I said before it can stay dormant for years and never come out of remission or it can come out of remission when you have this perfect storm which I want to discuss right now so this is the environment right so the reason why certain people get in other people don’t it really has to do with um their own Integrity the resistance to fight this thing off how strong their immune system is and then how great the external stress is as well so stress has a lot to do with the triggering effect uh because the high level of cortisol can paralyze the immune system one of the biggest stresses out of all the stresses is bereavement which is a loss in your grieving after a major loss so the greater the loss the more the stress the more it can trigger an autoimmune disease and I’ve talked about this in other videos in fact it’s like one for one my patients they developed an autoimmune disease after a stress event so we have stress we also have another interesting uh thing that can happen gut radiation so let’s say you had radiation of your abdomen or a CAT scan that can alter your microbiome and create dysbiosis and set you up for an autoimmune disease let’s say for example you had an antibiotic it can create dysbiosis and that can also be a trigger or let’s say you consume a lot of foods with glyphosate like in GMO foods that can alter your gut microbiomes and then set you up for having this autoimmune disease especially if you had Epstein-Barr virus in the past and also nutritional factors let’s say you’re low in vitamin D or zinc and then you go through through a stress event right you’re going to be very vulnerable to developing one of these conditions there’s also certain drugs there’s also steroids there’s even the stress of pregnancy that can set you up for an autoimmune disease what’s interesting and unique about a pregnancy is that there are certain autoimmune diseases that go in remission once you’re pregnant and then they when you’re done being pregnant then they can come out but there are certain autoimmune diseases that can be triggered by pregnancy as well now there also are other triggers that I can’t really mention in this video but I have mentioned them you know indirectly in other videos which I’ll put a link down below that can set you up for this perfect storm to develop an autoimmune disease but let’s just dive into what to do to put this autoimmune disease into emission permanently so here’s the plan we don’t want to just focus on inflammation and the autoimmune disease we want to focus on this Epstein-Barr virus okay because this is new information because if we can just like let’s say assume that that that’s involved then we have a different strategy and we can focus in on something that can actually greatly help you so we want to put this Epstein-Barr virus back into remission and one of the best ways to do it is to of course drop your stress level as much as possible isolate exactly what’s really stressing you out and do whatever you can to minimize that stress at least lower it that’s going to help there’s a test called an HRV test heart rate variability test heart math is an app in a device that you can get to measure heart rate variability and the reason I like this test is it measures the parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system it’ll give you data about this information and tell you how much parasympathetic you have which is your recovery versus how much sympathetic which is your stress and it’s very interesting because some people might not even feel that they’re in sympathetic dominant but they were and they have basically no parasympathetic and they’re more at risk for having their immune system lowered to Poland virus so this is a good test to just give you feedback to know where you’re at and I will put a link down below of heart math if you wanted to get one of those now some other things to help lower the stress and to put this Epstein-Barr virus back into where it needs to belong is about in B1 a good amount of B1 is very very important potassium and magnesium vital and vitamin D and in high doses at least 40 000 IUS that’s going to take inflammation away and it’s also going to help put this Epstein-Barr virus back in remission if you also add a good amount of zinc I would take no less than 50 milligrams of zinc every day so these are the two most important things to to take aerobic exercise versus other types of exercise aerobic exercise gives you a lot of oxygen it helps lower cortisol which will put more control in your immune system so long walks you know a bike ride that is not too intense very very important all right number two handle dysbiosis so the gut very very key since 80 of your immun
