let’s talk about Sjogren’s syndrome and a really good protocol if I personally had Sjogren’s syndrome I’m going to show you exactly what I would do many times this syndrome and syndrome is kind of involving multiple areas is mistaken for dry eyes or dry mouth but in fact it’s an autoimmune disease but the dry mouth can lead to dental decay chap lips difficulty swallowing but it involves a lot of mucous membranes and you have a lot of mucous membranes to the entire body and so it can really affect your sinuses it can affect the gastrointestinal tract it can also spread to the lungs the kidneys and the nervous system so it’s Progressive and it’s chronic so it typically gets worse with time but I’m going to show you what to do to put in remission it’s very common for people with Sjogren’s to also have lupus and or rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune diseases there’s pain there’s fatigue involved there’s also a high risk of lymphoma which is like a tumor in your lymphatic system women are nine times more likely to get this than men and there’s even a genetic part like it was called a polymorphism which basically is a weakness within your genes that can get turned on with certain environmental triggers but if you have this Gene it doesn’t mean that you’re going to get shograms it just means that you have a tendency to get it if there’s a certain environmental stress factor in play and that stress factor is usually viral I’m talking about Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus okay now both of those viruses are latent which means you get this infection it goes in remission and so you don’t have this problem anymore and then it can come out of remission later or the same thing with chickenpox right you have chickenpox and then later in life you end up with this um shingles okay it comes and goes depending on stress well Epstein-Barr virus or cytomegalovirus can come out of remission which is probably triggered by some major stress event it could be a a loss of a loved one for example I see that very common when I was in practice and then it just Alters your immune system to the point where you have an autoimmune disease which I’m going to get into in a minute but the point is that many of these conditions are triggered by various things and viruses are at the top of the list but what’s behind that is usually a stress event and this is why Sjogren’s can sometimes go in remission right they just kind of goes away and people don’t know why well it probably has something to do with the person’s stress level they just suddenly handled their stress and this condition gets much better as far as the underlying mechanism right they’ve studied this I put a lot of references down below to if you want more information but they isolated this very specific problem within your immune system and I’m not going to get into detail but all you need to know is there’s two types of T cells involved you have the T helper cell 17 involved that cell is normally involved in attacking pathogens viruses bacteria and fungi but for some reason that goes out of balance and it loses control and it starts to attack your own tissues and so they found that we have too much th17 that’s out of balance with another T Cell called the T regulatory cell which is all about self-tolerance and protecting our own tissues from being attacked in other words attacked by our own immune system so it prevents friendly fire it helps the body differentiate between our own cells and a pathogen so the perfect storm seems to be this increase of th17 and this decrease of the T regulatory cell that part of the immune system gets out of balance and that initiates an autoimmune response and then we get a lot of inflammation and collateral damage but the isolated this out of balance with like psoriasis lupus Sjogren’s and so the protocol I’m going to talk about really addresses putting this part of the immune system back into balance now personally from looking at this data there’s a lot of evidence to show that this might also be initiated in your gut because in the mucous membrane of the lining of your colon you have these th17 cells as well as the t-reg cells and so you have this GI system with a massive massive surface area if you were to stretch out your intestinal tract which is basically an internal protective barrier to the inside of your body if you took the surface area of that and you stretch it out it would be the size of a tennis court which is constantly being exposed to a multitude of viruses bacteria certain junk Foods things that create inflammation so there’s a lot going on if you have any autoimmune disease disease or any condition that involves inflammation boy you better get your diet right to make sure that nothing you’re eating creates inflammation in your gut and that’s pretty much all I’m going to say about that I’m not going to get into the diet for this I’m going to jump right into the protocol so the protocol involves natural remedies backed up by some pretty hardcore studies that do a couple things one is put this th17 t-reg ratio Back in Balance and so the first remedy is called sweet wormwood okay there’s an active ingredient in there that’s highly researched that is really good for your immune system and especially this Condition it’s called artemisinum and it also has another function of inhibiting viruses specifically the Epstein-Barr virus and the cytomegalovirus so it’ll help you in both areas now as far as the dosage on all the things I’m going to talk about I would just follow what is on the back of the label the next thing I’m going to recommend is this is more of a food broccoli Sprouts you could get sulforaphane as a supplement but it’s preferable to get broccoli sprouts and just put them on your salad you know just a little bit each day but the sulforaphane in broccoli Sprouts also helps to balance your T cells as well as reduce the cytokines or the inflammatory Cascade that occurs after this imbalance sultheraphane is also very antiviral it helps you with oxidative stress and this next remedy is you know not a supplement it’s safe food and it’s sauerkraut and I know you’re probably wondering what would sauerkraut do for an autoimmune disorder right well another piece of fascinating data is that your gut microbes regulate the T helper 17 cells as well as the T regulatory cells to prevent viruses from creating problems also from invading that lining in your colon so I would recommend just a little bit of sauerkraut in your diet every single day as a probiotic which will also give you the vitamin C and it’ll also give you a good fiber to help feed the microbes and you can also do a probiotic but sauerkraut is one of the best probiotics that you can consume nearly all of the Sjogren’s syndrome cases have dysbiosis they have problems within their gut and that might be actually one of the biggest factors in this perfect storm of developing an autoimmune disease and so if you can focus on getting this diverse population okay in your gut um that right there might put this thing right back in remission there’s two other potent vitamins that can help put these T cells back into balance one is vitamin D and the other one is vitamin A and I’m not talking about beta-carotene I’m talking about retinol both have potent effects of balancing out to make sure you have the right ratios of your T cells I would recommend 30 000 IUS of vitamin D every single day which by the way will also drop your inflammation and as far as the vitamin A goes I’m going to recommend you get that from cod liver oil and the cool thing about cod liver oil is not only does it have DHA and EPA which is needed to help counter the dryness in your eyes and your mouth but Cod Liver also has vitamin A and vitamin D and so it’s one of the best oils for this condition because it has so many factors that contribute t
