2 PROVEN Steps to Improve Sleep, Reduce Stress & Live Longer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omHHgGWAbcRgr7M

[@SOCO1992]

I use a probiotic daily to calm my gut issues that I had for 4 years. After seeing a few doctors, having tests run and being told that they couldn’t find anything wrong, I gave up and expected to live with IBS symptoms for the rest of my life. That was until 2 years ago, when I was hospitalized and diagnosed with ischemic colitis, and a secondary UTI. Upon release from the hospital, my doctor prescribed an antibiotic for the UTI and instructed me to take a good probiotic (Bio-K Plus+ 50 Billion) for a week. By the end of the week my gut issues disappeared, so I decided to continue taking them daily and have not had a single flareup since. I now can also eat some dairy without any discomfort. I swear by them. Such a simple solution for my problem. Wish I had known sooner.

[@user-Queen94]

You are the best dr who l have ever seen. Please please please make more videos about gut health I was under lots of pressure since 14 years ago and two or three times, l did destroy my stomach. Since the last stress passed me three years ago, l have brain fog I didn’t know what happen to me, l tried lots of Drs but nobody knows As l watched your videos, then l decided to be a gluten free since last week, really really all the fogs go away and l am alive just one week. No anxiety, no shouting, clear minds Ohhhhhhh my god, that’s amazing. But since one months ago l found l had some bloating, farting, pain in the stomach, heartburn or rearly l have diarrhea So l decide to listen to this videos and other and eliminate some food like dairy, high fodmap foods for a while and let heal to my gut. During this time l want to use some probiotics supplements and fermented foods like sour kraut to support my gut additionally Just my questions are Is my plan true to follow? How long is good to eleminate food 2,3 months? Can l eat gluten again? Is there any hope to heal my gut and brain fog? Unfortunately,As l live in Australia, Brisbane city so l can not attend your clinic Thanks again my best Dr 😊

With your gut studies, have you found any connection or correlation related to EBV?

[@LeaFaye]

So interesting at4:50 what u explained because I NEVER get sick with viruses or colds and was always curious how is it I have autoimmunity but never get sick but now it’s totally understood why! Also ugh I have terrible health anxiety and panic so I stress so much over health conditions but what u said that a lot can be done really helps! Thank u for that. I’m on the autoimmune paleo diet, which does I believe what u describe in the video

How much vitamin d ?

[@petermaier3725]

I think you mentioned that the elemental diet has a similar effect as prednisone (=cortisone). I know that prednisone has the power to end an acute autoimmune attack, which is accompanied by high fever. The prednisone effectively ends the fever. I was wondering, whethter the elemental diet potentially also has the power to help in such acute situations? Or is the elemental diet more for the long term improvement of the condition and not so much for acute situations?

[@DrRuscioDC]

Hi Peter, the elemental diet is a great way to give your gut a rest and reset to allow your body to focus on healing, which can help with many symptoms. However, if you are experiencing a high fever, it is best and most safe to seek treatment and diagnosis from your doctor first.

[@petermaier3725]

@@DrRuscioDC Thank you for this explanation!

Hello doc can you stress wht is the side by effects of long term use of prednisone...ive been taking 10 mg a day for my RA for almost 5 years now...my rheumatologist rely ony in my blood works every 3 mos....thanks in advance..

[@morismalouf7843]

Did the Prednisone help you at that low dose of 10? I was on 30 mgs and it helped with my autoimmune thing, but we don't know what it is yet. And when they got me off of it, the 10 mgs wasn't enough for my symptoms. . Also I am actually using my fiances KZbin. My name is Emily.

Can we cure Good pasture anti GBM

[@dennisguilder1]

Please please PLEASE do a video on rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis of the face. Maybe even as well as keratosis Pilaris? Also please do a video on worm therapy (helimich therapy) I have heard this changes the gut microbiota immensely and can cure autoimmune diseases. Only other way to cure them so far is stem cell bone marrow transplant it’s believed.

[@DrRuscioDC]

Thank you for the suggestions!

@@DrRuscioDC no problem! Maybe also one with peoridevtheraot for autoimmune diseases, hyperbolic chamber therapy, and maybe a stem cell bone marrow transplant for autoimmune. These are very interesting topics which need more light shed on them to spread knowledge and awareness.

The majority of people who come to us with Hashimoto’s are already on medication, but we have found in the clinic that in working through our process many people are able to reduce or even eliminate the need for medication. It depends on the person.

[@dennisguilder1]

@@DrRuscioDC hey, thanks I will check it out for sure. I have heard a clinic in Denver say it can be reversed with peptide therapy. They claim a certain peptide can lower the inflammation and get it down to zero. If you get it down they claim the thyroid function will return. The other thing I have heard of curing it is bone marrow transplant, because the body will be given a new immune system. Oxygen chambers are now being looked into for autoimmune as well as tapeworm therapy, yes you read that right. I’m just wondering if a person has an autoimmune disease and if they always have leaky gut, if so if they fix their gut will the autoimmune disease go away? Such as thyroid, rosacea, dermatitis, etc. and would they be cured? It’s hard to get a clear answer on that. As for the other therapies I listed, what are your thoughts on them?
