Jonathan: What are the top causes of Autoimmune Disease?
This is a serious topic which we are going to discuss three natural tips to reverse it. This is very important information.
Lots of people are suffering from Autoimmune Disease.
There are over one hundred diseases out there. Dr Tom O’Bryan is an expert on Autoimmune Disease and helping people to get out of the problems.
Let’s talk about the top causes of Autoimmune Disease.
Dr Tom: Everybody asks what is an Autoimmune Disease. The body’s immune system…designed to protect you, decides to attack your own body’s tissues. That is the autoimmune mechanism. Why is that happening?
Has your immune system gone haywire? And the answer is no. Almost all the time the immune system has not gone haywire, it’s trying to protect you. What is it trying to protect you is the million dollar question. And the most common “triggers” in the medical literature are:
Most Common ‘Triggers’ – Environmental Toxins- air you breathe, water we drink, etc
The first one is Environmental Toxins– air that you breathe, water we drink and sometimes the air we breathe indoors is more toxic than the outdoor air, so you have to learn about that.
Foods – WHEAT (Non-Celiac Wheat Related Disorder)
The second one is foods associated with autoimmunity is – WHEAT (Non-Celiac Wheat Related Disorder) not just Celiac patients, but all of us. It used to be called Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity but now we know it’s much more than just gluten. We now call it Non-Celiac Wheat Related Disorder.
And the third one is bacteria that’s getting out of our gut and into the blood stream. Let’s say the bacteria is called Proteus. If it gets into your blood stream and your immune system makes antibodies to fight Proteus.
It’s like Proteus has an orange vest, and the antibodies are looking for the orange vest in the blood stream, but the surface of your joints, the protein on the surface of your joints called Collagen includes what looks like the orange vest, the protein signature of the Proteus.
So the antibodies, going after Proteus can attack your joints. Then you start getting the inflammation that can start the whole autoimmune mechanism against your joints. You get Rheumatoid Arthritis. Just go into Google and type in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Proteus and you’ll see some of the studies on that.
That’s true for Multiple Scoliosis and Psoriasis and losing your hair called Alopecia. Most Autoimmune diseases, we now know have an antigenic, fancy word for a trigger, that the immune system is attacking that trigger and it may go after your tissue.
And so it’s wheat, environmental toxins and bacteria. Those are the big three.
Jonathan: You just really want an answer, that Western mindset. Tell me what I have got to do to get rid of Autoimmune Disorders. I’ve been exposed to environmental toxins, bacteria and wheat.
You’re eight, you’re ten, you’re fifteen, you’re twenty years old. Everything was ok. Why are you sounding the alarm about all of these things and why are you saying to everybody that these are the top causes for Autoimmune Disorders when I was fine my whole life?
It’s only NOW that I’m suffering. How could it be these things? What’s your answer Dr Tom to those who are thinking that way, right now.
Dr Tom: That’s a really good question and the answer is:
The straw that broke the Camel’s back.
We have more toxins in our environment than ever before in the history of humanity.
We suffer from toxic OVERLOAD in our environment!
The list is startling and overwhelming to learn just how much this is going. You want to know how bad your air is where you live? Go to a car wash, a nice car wash. Drive home, park outside, set your alarm for four hours.
Go back outside, run your hand across the windshield of your car. That’s what you’re breathing, all the time. And that particulate matter can be very, very toxic and in most cities, it is.
Car fresheners – I won’t go into an Uber if it’s got an air freshener, cancel the ride and do another one. Every exposure just adds a little more.
Your analogy of a bath tub of water…every exposure, a little more water in the tub, and a little more water in the tub, and a little more water in the tub.
Just think of the clothing you wear, going often to the cleaners, and if you don’t go to a green cleaner, the chemicals are in your shirt, your pants, your coat and they out-gas it into the air and you’re breathing this stuff.
That’s just one more load, a little more water in the bath tub.
You pump gas. When you pump gas, can you sometimes smell the benzine? You smell the gas? You’re smelling Benzine! Benzine, when you’re smelling it is causing a ‘leaky brain’. When you’re smelling it, you’ve heard of ‘leaky gut’, you get a ‘leaky brain’ which activates inflammation in the brain every time you smell it.
So when you have to get gas, you smell the gas because you’re downwind, walk around the other side of the hose and now you’re upwind. We have to start thinking like that, the little things we can do to reduce the load, the toxic load that we’re being exposed to.
We have more toxins in our environment than ever before in the history of humanity.
Every exposure adds a little more in the tub, analogy of water in a tub. When you get a leaky gut, you get a leaky brain. Start thinking of little things that help us to reduce the toxic load that we are being exposed to.
Jonathan: You know I am educating you on these things a little bit more, but I have to be honest with you, a lot of the health providers I work with, they often have said to me, their experience with the public is that most people are not interested in prevention. And that’s a sad commentary.
I’m hoping it’s wrong for the people who are watching this video, I’ll be very honest with you, but that is exactly what we are talking about here.
It’s appreciating all of these things before they become a real problem, should be addressed. We should really be making this a top priority. Have fun with it! Don’t get stressed about it.
We’re now getting into three natural tips that we have for you that will absolutely help you to calm things down. Because when we aren’t mindful, we are living a pro-inflammatory lifestyle when we aren’t very disciplined in our own life, just like Dr Tom just mentioned… ‘No, I won’t get into an Uber that smells like an air freshener.’ Or changing the position where you are standing at a gas station so you can be upwind and breathe air that is okay.
Let’s talk about some of the ways that we can help people to know that they are going in the right direction and can calm down this inflammatory response in the body. And they don’t always have to live with these Autoimmune Disorders.
Dr Tom: I’m going to comment first on what you said about most people don’t think about prevention, and that’s true unfortunately and for those who are watching this at this point you haven’t clicked off, it’s because you are thinking about prevention. For those who don’t think about prevention, well you’ll come back when you’re sick enough. That’s all you can do and it’s when they’re ready.
So I was asked to give three things that can help with the entire Autoimmune Mechanism:
The first one is Test…Don’t Guess. Find a Practitioner who will run the test for you to see, are you in danger right now?
Get a doctor that will run the test to see…are you at risk RIGHT NOW?
Because you don’t develop an autoimmune disease when you get the symptoms of your hair falling out or you’re wearing socks to bed, ‘cause you’re so cold, which is a thyroid thing. That’s not when you develop the disease. That’s when you’ve killed off so much tissue. Now the symptoms are obvious that it’s years beforehand that this occurs, so you want to test to identify if you are on the Autoimmune Spectrum.
The second thing is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free
FREE!! Live: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free
Go squeaky clean, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free for three weeks. Just see how you feel and if you notice that you’re feeling better overall, no cheating for three weeks, you can be assured that there was an autoimmune mechanism going on in your body to some degree.
Jonathan: What was the exact testing that would be a good for them to do with the right healthcare provider?
Dr Tom: You can go to my website: https://thedr.com All the tests are there.
The bottom line, there’s two laboratories there, is that tests there that go in that direction , there are a number of tests, depends on which one you need. One laboratory is Cyrex Laboratories, the other one is Vibrant Wellness Laboratories, and the second one is the most current, up to date, comprehensive of any thing on the planet, but both of those are really good labs and which test depends on your genetics, your history, your family history.

Jonathan: The biggest thing obviously food-wise for a lot of you dealing with Autoimmune Disorders is definitely food number two. Take a good, hard look at the glutenous foods that you might be eating, that conventional dairy out there, the processed sugars, really be okay with doing this kind of work and start getting them out of your life. As Dr Tom just mentioned it’s so important to realize that in the next few weeks you make these changes, you should feel a lot better.
