At the end of the 19th century, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was still a poorly developed virus and not that widespread. Back then, the pathogen wasn't highly contagious or aggressive—to become infected required a direct exchange of bodily fluids with a person who had an active EBV infection, and these active infections were quite rare. Back then, EBV could live dormant in someone throughout our lives without causing problems or symptoms.
This is because EBV started out as a productive virus. Modern medicine is only now beginning to document the possibility of the existence of beneficial viruses. In the future, researchers will find that this is much more than a possibility – it is a reality. Exactly! Just as we have "good" bacteria that help keep us healthy, there are also "good" viruses. These are docile, helpful pathogens that we carry with us and that help keep our immune systems at optimal levels. EBV was once one of them.
This little gland in the front of the neck isn't the metabolic regulator that everyone thinks it is. The thyroid hormones discovered so far and those yet to be discovered do not directly control weight, regulate hunger, ignite libido, or increase your energy. This concept of metabolism is too simplistic and outdated. Metabolism is simply the name of the ancient discovery that the body is in a constant state of internal exchange and movement. It is the discovery that we are alive. It's one of those blanket terms that hides the fact that not much is known about it yet.
The true function and purpose of the thyroid gland is actually much more interesting than modern medical understanding of it. The truth is that the thyroid gland is the information center of the body. She is the second brain. Here's what's most interesting: even when it's damaged by Epstein-Barr virus or surgically removed, the thyroid gland can still perform this essential job. Since the rest of the endocrine system is equally well developed, it can replace other parts of it.
The eight strains that did not cause a rash also produced a neurotoxin. In these cases, the venom usually does not contain a dermatotoxin element that moves outward into the small peripheral nerves and skin. Instead, the neurotoxin produced by the non-aggressive strains travels inward to the major nerves already inflamed by the virus, but the neurotoxin inflames them further, increasing the strain on the immune system. (Note that these varieties of shingles can also produce a certain amount of dermatotoxin, which in some cases can create a very mild, mysterious rash).
In this article, we'll look at 15 of the most common types of shingles, which are almost always treated incorrectly—sometimes with immunosuppressants, steroids, and antibiotics that further damage health. You'll find out what the symptoms of shingles are and how they're transmitted, what the triggers are, what the unique characteristics of each strain are, and how to best deal with the two main categories of the virus—those that cause rashes and those that don't. cause. This way, you will be able to identify and defeat each variety of the virus and live a healthy life.
There was a time when the "not so sick" rarely admitted they had a symptom or health problem. Hiding it was easier because the symptom didn't completely interfere with their lives. It has not interfered with their quality of life. Most of the symptoms of the "not so sick" were not visible to others, so they were able to cover them up. This was in their interest because illness is not something nice, fashionable or accepted. The sick were looked down upon.
Every day many of the "not so sick" lose the fight and become "chronically sick". Then awareness usually comes. The downfall they experience leads them to a new awakening about the way they perceived the world.
By this point, the "not so sick" feel confident and calm about how they have managed or resolved their minor or temporary symptoms. They feel confident because they think they have found some help in the form of a conventional doctor or specialist, or a chiropractor who claims to be a specialist in more advanced natural health care. When they find these health care practitioners, the "not so sick" people are at the beginning of the awareness curve and what they learn from their doctor or practitioner is new to them. They are not yet sick enough to realize that these may not be the answers they are looking for because the problems they face at this stage are mild enough to seem partially or even temporarily solved by what it seems like smart, cutting-edge thinking in the field of alternative health.
Nowadays, suffering from chronic disease symptoms or conditions is the new normal. We live in times where you are either not sick or you are very sick. Everyone struggles with some condition. Everyone faces at least one symptom, whether they would call it that or not, whether they realize that their health is threatened or not.
When you're "not so sick," your life hasn't hit the brakes yet. You are able to live with and deal with any health problems that may arise if you notice them at all. There isn't much of a gray area between "not so sick" and "chronically sick". You don't know when your health is reaching a point where it can't be managed until you feel it spiraling out of control. You realize that you are in an emotional or mental state of despair as you try to figure out how to stop the symptoms that are becoming a bigger and bigger problem that is getting in the way of your life.
Modern medicine has given the mysterious skin diseases various names - seborrheic dermatitis, other types of dermatitis, lupus rashes, urticaria, vitiligo, age spots, cellulitis, rosacea, actinic keratosis, scleroderma, lichen sclerosus and of course eczema and psoriasis. Each person's skin condition is different, although this is not always taken into account. Take eczema for example. It is often approached as if there is a single classic type. This leads to numerous misdiagnoses, including the definition of idiopathic (ie, of unknown cause) when the patient's skin condition does not fall within the narrow definition of eczema. The truth is that there are over 100 types of eczema and psoriasis.
Acne is a sign that there is a chronic, low-grade strep infection in the liver. Streptococci live in the liver when it contains abundant food for them. Antibiotics are one of the streptococci's preferred energy sources and one of the liver's worst enemies. At the same time, they are often prescribed to acne sufferers along with other medications that strain the liver. This can become a never-ending vicious cycle in which the antibiotics feed the strep itself that causes the acne, and the acne prompts the dermatologist to write a prescription for more antibiotics.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFID), and systemic exercise intolerance disease (SED).
CFS, or whatever name you prefer, is the neurological fatigue of ongoing and chronic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in stage four. Each of the more than 60 varieties of Epstein-Barr virus, accompanied by toxic heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum, creates viral neurotoxins that inflame and deplete the central nervous system, creating exhaustion that is far more pronounced and limiting than simple fatigue . In their more aggressive forms, neurotoxins cause mild encephalitis (undetectable by MRI or CT), which creates even more severe fatigue. This neurotoxic inflammation of the central nervous system can eventually weaken the adrenal glands, liver, and digestive system and leave you feeling drained.
When it comes to cholesterol, as well as blood pressure, we often think that it's all about the heart and cardiovascular system. We know the terms HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), although there are many more varieties of proteins, triglycerides and lipoproteins that medical research and science have yet to discover. . We imagine hardening of the arteries and plaque in the heart valves, and rightly so.
How does this start? It cannot form by itself out of nothing.
Many people suffer from acid reflux or heartburn throughout their lives and don't understand why they experience that burning sensation that reaches through the chest to the throat. Medical professionals explain acid reflux as stomach acids and hydrochloric acid backing up into the esophagus. However, this theory of cause is unfounded and limited in its understanding, as we will explain in this article.
Caffeine has been known since ancient times through various plant sources, but the way it is used now has a longer history. The addiction we have to caffeine is no longer just a ceremony as it has been for hundreds of years around the world. Nowadays we use it as a stimulant just to get through our daily lives because people are not feeling well and struggle with focus and concentration issues, brain fog, fatigue, lack of energy, forgetfulness, sleepiness and physical discomfort. Now we use it to mask our daily symptoms. Of course, people who are feeling well also consume caffeine, but more and more people who are not feeling well are consuming it to survive and get through their day.
