Clinical immunology in the Covid era

With Professor Robert Clancy, consultant physician, scientist, researcher, academic, author, teacher.

[@susancox3973]

As a healthcare professional for 20 years, I've been dismayed by the horrendous things going on during the last few years. Watching this interview has definitely lifted my spirits, knowing there are medical professionals out there who are still wanting to help people with their health so that they can live their best life.

[@Beekind799]

health care professional my arse ,you know absolutely nothing about health, tell me what causes the cytokine storms and how are they easily stopped,p-lease tell me what the bodies foundation for health is health professional

[@beckylieb2637]

As a conscious receiver of health care for the last 40 years I have been repeatedly dismayed by the horrendous things going on for the entire time. The only good medicine I have found apart from herbalism is Emergency medicine and homeopathy. Having raised children in this environment for 25 years my depth of understanding and disbelief in the shocking horror of what medicine became since the early 1930s simply increased. Yes there are some medical professionals who still want to help, but they are handicapped the moment they get their medical qualifications.

Me too, Susan. In fact I felt the need to leave the medical field which for me is sad. It is horrendous.

[@DimitriosGakisSurgeon]

Amazing interview! Thank you! As Surgeon I had to learn Clinical Immunology, particularly during my career also as Transplant Surgeon. I enjoyed listening the amazing new concepts of mucosal immunology, that is explaining , also, why the more antibiotics we were giving to the complicated patient the worst the course was, and when , several times I was stopping them the patient was recovering. Looks crazy but it is not. Medicine history is full of wrong selections of treatment ways. I was stressing out that in Transplantation we lost our immunological orientation to the way of immunosuppression instead of the way of tolerance. To teach the immune system of the recipient that the graft I transplanted into his body it is his own and not a foreign that has to fight against it….We had excellent pioneering results on this field done by others (eg Andreas Tzakis team in USA) but this was not improved. Why? Because big Pharmas are not interesting on tolerance! They prefer, as you mentioned , the expensive immunosuppressive drugs and the jolly expensive monoclonals. Medicine needs to go back in the hands of Physicians , not in the hands of Big Pharmas

[@jonthomas9708]

Impressed that with a huge amount of prior knowledge and hard earned prestige you are still open willing to learn and open about what you didn't know back when it was unknowable. Also that you recall personal observations which you didn't didmiss because they didn't fit the model of the moment. This validates your advocacy for physicians using what works as opposed to what they are told. Having a far deeper foundation than a lay person they can responsibly act appreciating that the messaging is nuanced and not necessarily correct for every patient, not to say that it can be outright deceptive. A lot of the information here will go past me and other casual viewers because we don't have the mental framework to absorb it. Encouraging to know that actual professionals find value in it and measure it against their clinical experience

[@andylewis248]

What percentage of the work that you, or I, perform is not for money? In truth there are many that also get their reward from altruism, but they are no use to the Big Boys.

Pity I can’t give Dimitrios’ comment one hundred likes. Big pharma have absolutely ruined medicine.

[@sheilasmith1109]

I dropped out of the medical school program when I learned of the “Formulary”/ business end in each medical providers working scope. I was told that I couldn’t prescribe to my patients, any drugs that were NOT on the formulary of the company I would be employed by! This was ludicrous in my opinion! I had been used to using any drugs from any company while working in Veterinary medicine! This is where I first discovered that Big Pharma was literally making overt efforts to run and control not only medical schools but our HMO systems and others! I could NOT be bought at any spiff payout for using a drug I didn’t agree with! Being forced into using such, goes against my ethics! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Dr!

Fasting will help surgery survival rates and also may help with transplant rejection rates. Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers over time with extended fasting and rise from dieting Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. It's absolutely fine for cortisol to be high while fasting, because it produces sugar from fat instead of lean tissue kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZqodZSar9R4qNU Does the body prefernetially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeUm6qDl9uBrtk The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Is fasting just the same as caloric restriction? No! Dieting increases the hunger hormone ghrelin while fasting decreases it and has many other health benefits! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYfPXqGfoc2KgsU When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Does fasting burn muscle? In most cases no! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpa0epSLa9yjaNE Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu4daiZd7ypatU Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

I just realized last year that if I eat too much bread it will cause severe back and joint pain for several days. I've cut out bread and gluten and have felt much better since.

[@debpratt52]

I found that to be true, also. I've been on a ketogenic diet for 2.5 years. I eliminated breads, sugars, and nightshades (tomatoes and potatoes). It helped greatly with the arthritis pain.

[@richreynoldsCIT]

I wonder how much of my youthful anger and turmoil was the terrible diet I had?

[@SparkyOne549]

I love this episode! My story is long winded, but necessary. When I was a young child in Australia, I spent a lot of my life in the hospital, from not being able to digest food, and a lot of chest infections. But as a young child, I ate a lot of vegetables from our garden, but when I ate a sandwich, I had to see a doc. I remember a doc talking to my mother asking her what she thought was causing my issue. I said “ the bread did this to me” the doc turns to me, and says “ don’t be silly, bread can’t do this to you”. My mother kept repeating that to me when I had symptoms. I also had heard a lot of “ she will grow out of it” He wasn’t the only doc that was condescending to me. From that point I stopped telling her when I was sick. I wish I had this Aussie doctor! As I became an adult now living a new life in America 30 years ago, I realized it wasn’t just bread, it was any food made out of wheat. So I stopped eating all wheat products and my life improved soooooooo much, incredible difference. 20 years ago, I would test that theory after not eating any wheat for 8 months, I had a few pieces of pizza, had symptoms, and had to see a doc. She said she’d never seen this before, she said I had rocks in my intestines, and would have to have surgery to remove it all. I said no, just give me the strongest laxative she had. It took taking it for a week ( against her instructions) to clear it out. She asked me if this had happened to me before, I said “ all my life” I told her that all my life I was condescended by doctors when I told them that bread did this to me. She asked if she could run a blood test, we did it, and called me in days later to talk. She said I may have celiac disease, that I was lacking a lot of nutrients. I had never heard that before. She instructed me to have a biopsy. I told her that I knew wheat products did this to me, and had stopped consuming wheat products and had great success, then I asked her if I removed all gluten, will that be good enough? She said yes, but you will have to do that all your life. So I refused the biopsy as I knew what was wrong. She gave me a ton of information, I have since not eaten gluten, but have been glutened by gf products. I had since done more research on gf companies before buying. The way I see it, Australian doctors failed me, when I was a child. Since my 100% gluten free life, my health had improved so much, I lost a lot of weight. But then I hit a wall, I felt ok, but felt I could feel a lot better. I had new food allergies, and intolerances. I had noticed when I ate rice or quinoa, I felt like I was being glutened, even though they’re supposedly gluten free. I researched this, and found out that some grains have a form of gluten and alot of celiacs are reacting to it. That was news to me, but made sense. I also found out about the micro biome being our immune system. So I removed all grains from my diet. I now only eat fermented foods, dairy ( thankfully no issues with dairy) a lot of yoghurt, fruit, veg and proteins ( meats) I do feel so much better, my microbiome is improving. My digestive system couldn’t be any better, this is the best I have ever felt! My hope is that when my microbiome is repaired, my food allergies and intolerances will disappear. My only issue now is, due to my diet, I am underweight, it’s really hard to gain weight on my diet. I was told to eat every 2 hours, so I do but still haven’t gained weight. I get enough fat from dairy. I had looked at prebiotics and probiotics, but I’m not sure it will help since I’m eating right for me.

The only issue I have at this time is gaining weight, because there are a lot of foods I can not eat, but my diet is enough to get all the nutrients. I do have a nutritionist. I forgot to mention, as my post was long winded, I am having the biopsy after having to consume gluten. Then I will know where I’m at, my intestines should have healed some. Then my diet may change again. I was burned by the medical community, for 30 years.

And I"m confident you have something that needs figuring out. It could be important. Maybe even Dr. JOhn himself for a suggestion.. Don't give up, and don't take peoples negativity these days, the human race hasn't come this far without science looking into things. I'm confident there is some correlation ship hiding in one of your cells or DNA amino acids. Chow.

Funny he should mention Hashimoto's disease. My mother had it for 14 years, and doctor after doctor failed to diagnose it. Her thyroid was completely desiccated by the time it was diagnosed. After that, she fixed it in just one year with the help of a holistic doctor by cutting toxic people out of her life, working on her psychological habits, forgiving her abusive family to the best of her ability, and using supplements and diet. Though she'd already undergone an early hysterectomy and will never *fully* recover, mom is healthier and fitter in her late 50s than she was in her 30s and 40s.

The i-Tera wand gave her extreme muscle cramps and a paralyzing headache that lasted for days. But when I presented all the evidence that it's a scam patented by institutions state-owned by China (if the patents exist at all, because neither I nor the doctor could find them), mom's only response was "Maybe I didn't use the wand for long enough." Backsliding from Big Pharma...

I am so glad to hear that there are wonderful, intelligent people studying autoimmune diseases! I have celiac disease and almost all of what I know about the disease is from talking with other people with celiac. Ive been sick since birth and after 25 years, still have not found a doctor that can offer more insight in to this disease than people in a celiac chat forum. Thank you, thank you, thank you for researching this!

[@jackielindsay7247]

I also have Celiac disease and lost 30 pounds before my doctor suspected because of an annual blood test that revealed very low vitamin d. He ordered an endoscopy which verified Celiac. I then went to a nutritionist who set me on the non gluten diet which repaired my gut. There is so much gluten hidden in foods that I have to read all labels and make sure that there is no cross contamination. The only gluten in our house is my husband's bread for which he has his oun toaster and he is careful not to contaminate butter and mayo, etc. I rarely eat out because God only know what happens in the kitchen unless it's a gf restaurant. It is a serious disease that it's not if but when you will get cancer if you continue to eat gluten. My daughter and her twin daughters also have Celiac which makes family meals much easier. There is a wealth of information on the internet about Celiac disease. Good luck with your gf journey. BTW it's very expensive to get gf products but at least meat and vegetables are gluten free.

This is VERY interesting. When I took human nutrition in college a few years ago we had a teacher who taught genetics at NYU. I think she was a fill in for another teacher who was out due to surgery for the semester. I say this because I went to FIT which is an art and design school so this poor professor had students who were not there to learn science. We wound up doing three tests on the same basic material - but she did get into the fecal implantation because this is thought to help weight gain, crohn's disease and problems associated with antibiotic use. She also did a few lessons on epigenetics. I also have autoimmune that I can suffer pretty badly with. I studied basic biology to become a personal trainer and a lot of that was used again in human nutrition. That knowledge did help me in reading covid studies when I needed to.

I have autoimmune diseases. I really wish I would have done my degree like this doctor instead of nursing. I loved nursing but I feel there is so much to learn from my illnesses.

[@robinhood4640]

A degree in atmospheric chemistry would be helpful too. Your cells need oxygen to function correctly, which is what they are not doing when you have an autoimmune disease, and the oxygen is taken from the air that enters your lungs with each and every breath you take. The air that you actually breathe is not the same as the air you were designed to breathe, because we have collectively modified the chemistry of it. This is why autoimmune diseases are thought "to flare up", "go mad for no reason" or "attack you for the fun of it" because the chemistry of the air (which is totally invisible) has changed, and it negatively affects the immune system's ability to correctly regulate inflammation (oxidative stress).

[@crayonofdarkness215]

No one can stop you from learning. I developed autoimmune disease and pre-cervical cancer for several years. I did lots and lots of research and put what I learned into my life, overhauled my diet, started taking a few specific supplements and also overhauled my life to be less stressful. I am today now clear of all autoimmune disease, clear of HPV and pre-cervical cancer, and I can eat/digest any kind of food now whereas I used to constantly have blockages, bloating, gas, pain, and severe inflammation. I had to drink copious miralax for years just to clear myself out. Micro biome is SO important. A really quality probiotic plus bacteria-rich foods are really important, plus lots of cruciferous veggies that the bacteria like to feed off. There are tons of things we can do, but you won’t learn it in school or by talking to most people, since most people are afflicted with a lot of these kinds of issues.

@@robinhood4640 the easiest is that the SAD (standard American/western diet) is trash, any other is better. I think everyone agrees on both sides that processed foods are terrible for your health. I'm more confident in carnivore for autoimmune issues simply because it is the ultimate elimination diet, you don't consume most of the foods that worsen those conditions, gluten, grains, FODMAPS, etc. After being strict carnivore for a while you can try slowly reintroducing 1 food at a time and see if you have a reaction.

People are overfed on sugar and wheat and undernourished. A lower carb diet with more protein combined with fasting will do wonders for immune health. Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers over time with extended fasting and rise from dieting Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. It's absolutely fine for cortisol to be high while fasting, because it produces sugar from fat instead of lean tissue kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZqodZSar9R4qNU Does the body prefernetially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeUm6qDl9uBrtk The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Is fasting just the same as caloric restriction? No! Dieting increases the hunger hormone ghrelin while fasting decreases it and has many other health benefits! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYfPXqGfoc2KgsU When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Does fasting burn muscle? In most cases no! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpa0epSLa9yjaNE Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu4daiZd7ypatU Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Ask any livestock farmer about the health of their stock and they will focus on the diet not the drugs. We humans seem to eat processed foods and have poor nutrition and focus on fixing chronic disease that results with drugs. Madness!

THANK You: this is one of the most interesting, hopeful interviews I’ve seen on the Web! I have also come to the end of my career as a psychologist and community mental health systems analyst. Unfortunately, local politics kept me from implementing similar system based, recurrent data driven clinical, and organizational, interventions to effectively improve community mental health. Hopefully, someone within the psychological or sociological fields will pick up where I left off. There is a tremendous policy emphasis upon simplistic, symptom based (reductionistic) protocols that merely label individuals with mental health issues (diagnostically), that often end up including psychotropic medication which rarely provides long lasting relief. Uggh..

Excellent discussion. Obviously a brilliant professor.

[@rizzobitz]

I love this discussion. I've had chronic EBV since I was 12 and had a positive test for systemic sclerosis and sjogren's syndrome 2 years ago. People with systemic sclerosis die from the fibrosis in 2-10 years. Studies show EBV can cause these autoimmune diseases. I've been taking ivermectin for these last 2 years. Studies show ivermectin kills EBV and prevents fibrosis by blocking the collagen type 1 that is overactive in systemic sclerosis. It also helps with lung fibrosis which is how many of these people (and covid patients) die. There is a case report where ivermectin along with other meds reversed an autoimmune disease in a man. I was retested and am negative for systemic sclerosis and sjogren's now. I had symptoms of sjogren's since I was 20 (over 2 decades ago). Not sure if ivermectin reversed my autoimmune diseases and cells... or maybe I just had a false positive test 2 years ago, but either way, ivermectin kills EBV and PREVENTS these diseases and cancers caused by EBV so I'm sticking with ivermectin.

[@lynneforbes4420]

Would you recommend a course of IVM or to take it daily in the way you would take vitamins?

[@rizzobitz]

@@lynneforbes4420 You dont need to take it daily because it stays in your system longer than most meds. I take it 2xs per week 300-400 micrograms per kg of body weight. You can find doctors who will prescribe it through FLCCC online

[@whatbringsmepeace]

Medical Medium has linked EBV with all manner of auto immune diseases, saying it hides in organs and can't be detected in blood tests. Glad to hear there's a cure.

Dr. Campbell, thanks again for an amazing interview! Would you consider covering more nutrition topics, for example keto diet and its effects on health?

[@pontymagic]

Great to hear you talk about the microbiome and the gut being the second brain. So important for our future to align nature into our science and not play god like we seem to do. We don't know enough to do that and history continues to show how bad our consequences are when we don't.

[@16Veki]

Thank you Dr. Campbell and Dr. Robert Clancy for this interesting topic! I live in Townsville Queeensland in Australia where I moved here from Europe. I am diagnosed with multiple autoimune deseases(lichen sclerosis, paget's desease on the bones, Degenerative changes at MCP &PIP joints, Osteoarthrosis, Osteopenia,Complex cyst on brest, several liver cysts some signs of alopecia start shoving on my eyebrows. Everithing started after I got Yellow Fever vaccine 12 years ago. Started with false Glaucoma where I were prescribed eye drops Travatin so I took that for couple of months but the doctors later said that there was no Glaucoma. I contracted a Adenoviral Keratoconjuctivitis couple of weeks after the vaccine. I will never forget that imense pain and months being blind. Also at this same time I start with symptoms of menopause and so often I was declared with helycopulori bacteria there was others but I cannot remember now the names. Since that vaccination I just was going down with my health without to mention some other issues related my work career which unfortunately I cannot talk about at this time because I am suspended due the cov-19 vaccine mandates. Knowing what I lived and is still going with autoimune problems from the past vacc I did not get the mandated vacc this time so I am going to lose my job because my JP said that cannot give me exemption because it's being not recorded here in AU that I had previous vaccine injury. I got the vaccine in France but along the travel I contracted the Adenoviral Keratoconjuctivitis and I was in UK and France hospitals before my flight then here in Australia for the next couple of months until recovered. So because of that my JP could not give me exemption even I showed her documents from UK and France Hospitals, then Australia also photographs of myself where blood was dripping from my eyes but to bad no one care. I am afraid to get vaccine again because I know that one more it will kill me. Now I have to assume that choice and lose my only income and eventually lose my house because no one will employ me after being fired out because vaxxine.The World we living in sadly become a strange place now.... My question octors for both of you is: Could thete be any explicable relationship with the vaccine and that sudenly me got ill with all my health problems trough these 10 years??? Thank you! God Bless!

[@karencammarota4198]

I've just prayed for you my dear, for complete health restoration, peace and blessings on you. I'm from Australia too and lost my job back in October when these ridiculous mandates came in simply from saying no to an experimental vaccine. I actually just had covid and have recovered well. Stay strong, peace and blessings to you!

[@16Veki]

@@karencammarota4198 Thank you Karen! I am sorry to hear that you lost your job aswell because of the mandates where is proven that it didn't protect you from catching the desease. Why we all have to be in with that is not clear. I would say, if someone is like it and think it will go him then fine , go get it but my body and my personal life is not anyone's buisineses or property but only my choice! Is that simple and if someone cannot understand I bieve is to late for those. I hope there things will change, the true is appearing every day more and more and people realising what's going on. Sty strong!❤

[@MrKiwiking1]

I feel so sad reading this, I really hope Dr John Campbell or Dr Robert Clancy will private message you 🤗

[@joannebrookes4217]

Gosh, that is alot of health issues you are dealing with, don't blame you for shunning the vaccine, I didn't manage to find alot of information or research into the covid vaccines and autoimmune conditions, only links to govt advice to get jabbed. I have coeliac disease and lichen sclerosus and osteopenia also. All the data collected and research done for the covid vaccines doesn't seem to factor or consider people with autoimmune conditions and diseases, and we continue to be bombarded with the "one size fits all" get boosted adverts on tv etc... Lichen sclerosus is a recent diagnosis for me and it seems woefully under researched, no one knows why, the same with CD, no one seems to know what the trigger is. Probably an infection or a virus, so why not a vaccine, I always understood that an autoimmune disease or condition means we have an over reactive immune system, we aren't like normal folk! Wishing you wellness, at least you are living somewhere warm and sunny. 🌞
