Rebuilding Your Immune System

So I have been getting allot of questions as to how I have strengthened my immune system. It is actually less about strengthening it, as it is about resetting it to normal operations. As someone with an autoimmune disorder, my immune system was attacking parts of my body. To prevent that from happening my doctor put me on an immunosuppressant. So to strengthen my immune system, I first have to normalize it. So this is how I am doing that.

Rebuilding my Immune System to Reverse Autoimmune Disease

I was diagnosed at 12 with Myasthenia Gravis, my Mom researched and put me on Mega vitamin therapy which put me into remission for almost 30 years. Unfortunately by the time I was re-diagnosed in 2012 her dementia was so bad I could not ask her about it. In trying to research it I found out a few things. 1st many doctors will not agree with what I am about to say, but the results for me, have been life changing.

Suppressing our immune system, I believe should only be a short term solution, to get our symptoms under control. I believe the best long term solution is to normalize our immune system, then once normalized carefully ease off the immunosuppressants. Before I continue, this is specific for Myasthenia Gravis, getting a Thymectomy is a must if your scans have shown your Thymus is active, or abnormal in any way.

Restoring your immune system to normal function requires two major considerations. The first and most often overlooked aspect of our immune systems is gut health. The gastrointestinal tract is responsible for 70% of your healthy immune system cells. Without a healthy gut, the rest of the nutrients we consume won't get absorbed into our cells. So the first step is to normalize our gut. To do this we NEED to find a good probiotic and prebiotic. What I mean by this, is that you need to find a product that can guarantee at least 2 billion live bacteria make it past the stomach and into the small intestine. This applies to pro and pre biotics. There are very few products out there that can do this. If you want to know what I use, contact me through FaceBook or go to the contact us page.

OK, the key to normalizing the immune system for me, has been Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Medicinal Mushroom extract, meditation, sound therapy (Music Medicine), energetics and lots of veggies. Vitamin C at the start should be worked up slowly to gauge your body's reaction. I would start with a powder form based on ascorbic acid, mixed in water. 1000 MG once a day for a week. Then increase another 1000 mg a day for week 2. Once in the morning and once at night at least an hour before bed. Week 3 take 1000 mg morning, noon and night. Increase like this every week until your body says you are getting enough. Your body will tell you you have enough when you start to get loose stool. If you are taking Mestinon you are probably already fighting loose stools, so when it starts to get worse than usual that is when you have enough. Finish the week out to see if your body adjusts. If it does, keep it at this level until your stools get too loose again. Then back off 1000 mg a day. Even if you don't experience loose stools, I would not exceed 4000 mg per day. You won't hurt your body going higher if your bowels can handle it, but past 4000 mg the benefits begin to diminish. Everybody's system is different, this is why the process should be done this way to maximize the speed at which you reset your immune system. When you know your immune system has normalized you can probably go back down to 1000 mg a day.

With each 1000 mg dose of Vitamin C, take 50 mg Zinc and 150 mg Vitamin D1, 150 mg Vitamin D3. The zinc and Vitamin D is absolutely essential because the body requires that, for the vitamin C to properly absorb into your cells and correct your immune function. The levels of Vitamins E & A in a good multivitamin should be enough. Vitamin E helps tissues heal faster and more completely, Vitamin A expands that regeneration to the nerves. After week 2, you can add the medicinal mushroom extract. ⁱ/₈ teaspoon to ¼ teaspoon 3 times a week. If you can get an extract blend, use that, otherwise use either Red Reishi or Agarikon. You can take it directly by mouth or mix in a drink or food. Be warned, the flavour is VERY strong, it can easily overpower a mild dish or drink. I personally found it is easiest to just just pop the dose in my mouth, dissolve it in my mouth, then wash it down with water. If you like like truffle, you will be fine with the taste. Here is a list of the best known medicinal mushrooms; 🍄

Energetics such as Quantum Touch or Rieki will also help restore nerve function. I had Peripheral Neuropathy so bad the soles of my feet were completely dead and I could barely move my toes and everything else on my feet, toes included burned like fire. Now, I still get burning sometimes and I still have allot of numbness but about 4 months ago I felt the cats tail under the soles of my feet, then 3 months ago I could start moving my toes well enough to balance better and I can flex my toes again, yes they are still pretty stiff but slowly improving. Conventional wisdom says this can't happen.

Western medicine has done many wonderful things, but they don't have all the answers. Don't be afraid to research. To get you started, I am sharing my unlisted Healing research playlist from my YouTube Channel. You will find some really interesting stuff there.
