“Typically, certain phyla and classes of bacteria that crop up on a low fiber diet and these bacteria possess flagella that allows move or “swim” up the intestines and penetrate the small intestine (where they are not supposed to be).”

“The research on vitamin D supplementation and its effects on the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes is extensive and often yields inconsistent results. This review investigates the factors contributing to the diverse outcomes observed in response to vitamin D therapy for type 2 diabetes, including bioavailability, sex, and autoimmune disorders.”

“The allergy-prone children lacked anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acids and breast milk–derived oligosaccharides which caused an increase in inflammatory-producing immune cells and a decrease in immune cells that prevent autoimmune responses. Future studies will try and identify the exact causes of such disruptions in the infant microbiome including breastfeeding and mode of delivery.”

“Day 1-prefasting consists of an 800 kcal (about 40% of normal caloric intake similar to mouse Day1 FMD) monodiet (fruit, rice, or potatoes) by preference of individuals. On the following day patients were recommended to use an oral laxative, Natrium Sulfuricum (20-40 g).”

“In order to create antibodies that react to new pathogens, B cells (a type of immune cells) use somatic hypermutation, a process during which they intentionally mutate regions of their DNA involved in antibody production.”

“FTA: > [...] by synthesising proteins from the [myelin] sheaths in a lab, and then injecting them into the blood stream at increasing doses, the body begins to learn that they are safe. > [...]”

“The condition is called 'leaky gut syndrome'. Our studies indicate a leaky gut and increased inflammation in the intestinal mucous membrane and related lymphoid tissue before clinical symptoms of MS are discernible.”

“Oxidative stress drives many disease processes. In mitochondria, in particular, it promotes the release of mitochondrial DNA into surrounding cytosol where it can trigger cellular responses involved in autoimmunity.”

“Multiple sclerosis patients also displayed a decrease in a type of immune cell called myeloid-derived dendritic cells which play a role in suppressing immune cells that prevent autoimmunity (called T-regulatory cells).”
