    Ocular/Orbital Myositis, Repetitive over many years

    Hello everyone, Ever since 5 years ago, I have consistently yearly been suffering from ocular/orbital myositis in one of my 2 eyes. Myositis means muscle inflammation that can prevent voluntary movement. For me it means that it hurts to move my eye in a specific direction (and I even get...

    Gut bacteria causes rheumatoid arthritis (RA)...and likely all other "autoimmune" conditions

    After decades of fraudulent theories on the origins and development of RA, the study below seems to finally admit the obvious - RA is not an "autoimmune" disorder but simply the body producing antibodies to specific pathogens found mostly in the gut, which, however, have managed to translocate...

    Mitochondrial debris (from stress/injury) causes "autoimmune" disease

    After dancing around the issue for the last 10+ years, it looks like medicine is finally ready to admit the obvious. Namely, cellular (and more specifically, mitochondrial) debris created by stress/injury and dumped into the bloodstream causes the (in)famous "flares" that define virtually all...

    COVID-19 vaccines may cause lifelong autoimmune hepatitis

    This topic was briefly brought up on the last podcast with Danny and Ray. I am sure, by now, everybody has seen the news about the spike in "unexplained" cases of severe hepatitis in children, and the accompanying vigorous denial in MSM that COVID-19 vaccines have anything to do with it...

    Vitamin D effective in humans for preventing autoimmune diseases

    A human study, one of the largest ever conducted, and covering virtually all major autoimmune conditions. Also, the study claims that this is the first intervention trial that looked at effects of vitamin D on developing autoimmune conditions, so the link is causal - i.e. we can now claim that...

    Blocking PUFA metabolism therapeutic for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

    The rates of MS have been steadily rising over the last several decades. While mainstream medicine claims the cause is "unknown", it is well known that it has an almost perfect inverse association with sunshine exposure, vitamin D levels, aspirin usage, histamine blockers, etc. This suggest an...

    Serotonin, SSRI drugs may be the cause of IBD, Parkinson's, diabetes, etc.

    A great new study that points the finger straight at serotonin (5-HT). It has been known since the 1940s that not only is 5-HT produced predominantly in the GI tract, but also that elevated serotonin levels are causally linked to a plethora of chronic conditions, especially various inflammatory...

    A great new study, which is perhaps the first to directly point the finger at endotoxin as perhaps the main cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an "autoimmune" condition and not only shares symptoms with other similar conditions such as Lupus, psoriasis, MS, etc, but now all of them are...

    Mitochondrial debris leaking in bloodstream may cause autoimmune disease

    Reversing Autoimmunity From a Bioenergetic Perspective

In the first episode of the series we discussed the problems with the conventional and...

    Estrogen Can Both Cause And Exacerbate Lupus

    A quick post as a response to a recent argument I had over email with an endocrinologist who follows me on Twitter. His claim was that the causes of Lupus are currently unknown but are likely "multifactorial" and me ascribing such causes to "isolated peculiarities" such as endotoxin (LPS) or...
