today let's talk about the number one best probiotic for autoimmune conditions so the question is what is an autoimmune condition it's a condition where your own immune system is attacking its own tissues what's really happening with the immune system is we have two parts of the immune system that are out of balance we have either a very low amount of this thing called regulatory te- cells and then at the same time we have high amounts of these other two immune cells all you really need to know to make this really simple is that these T-Rex cell prevent autoimmune diseases so it's all about calming down the inflammation after your immune system has done its job the t- cells turn it off so the t-reg cells are all about appropriate response but the problem is in the flip side it can sometimes get out of control and attack the wrong thing the best way to understand this is to look at a thermostat autoimmune diseases are running too hot there's too much inflammation the question is how do we take an autoimmune disease and bring it to an optimal level it just so happens that there's a natural way to do this but I think it's important to understand the root problem of all autoimmune diseases one thing you really need to know is that when there's inflammation in the gut okay sometimes you don't initially feel it but inflammation blocks the function of vitamin D3 vitamin D3 cannot work in the presence of of inflammation vitamin D influences over 2500 genes it's involved in every part of the immune system so if the T-Rex cells do not get enough vitamin D then they can't work they can't grow they can't function they're going to be disys functional and many people including a lot of doctors don't realize that we have a such a mass uh problem with low vitamin D there is a condition called vitamin D resistance and vitamin D resistance is at the cell level right at the re ctors for vitamin D3 you see you can actually test someone's vitamin D in the blood and it can be perfectly normal but if they have vitamin D resistance despite having a normal blood level they're going to be extremely deficient and many people don't realize that the great majority of the population is vitamin D resistant in your blood what they're testing when they're testing for vitamin D is the inactive version they're not testing for what's happening at the cell level but the vitamin D you need for the immune system is more like 8,000 to 10,000 just to maintain it and not only that you need it on a daily basis rarely is anyone getting that amount unless they're out getting a lot of sun or taking a supplement so if you compound a inflammatory gut problem with low vitamin D it's a perfect storm for developing an autoimmune disease and on top of that you have doctors or you might have things on the news or online that say that vitamin D you got to be careful you don't want to become toxic just so you know it's extremely rare and you would have to take hundreds of thousands of international units every single day for months before you develop any toxicity so when we're talking about 10,000 iuse we're not even in the ballpark for even talking about toxicity and the reason I'm even bringing that up is to penetrate through that vitamin D resistance that so many people have to create a therapeutic effect you're going to have to use levels that are much higher than $10,000 use you're probably going to have to go up 20 30 40 50,000 international units every single day to penetrate that resistance to create an effect on the t-reg cells so that's number one number two missing microbes you have thousands of different species of microbes in your gut and they do a lot more than you might think and there's two specific microbes that are involved in helping you prevent autoimmune diseases in that they greatly affect the t-reg cells as well as suppressing these other inflammatory immune cells over here and the first one is called be infantis or it might be pronounced infantis I'm not sure that help develop our nervous system this microb is highly sensitive to antibiotics to steroids to junk foods to a lot of things in the environment and so what I'm saying is about 70% of the population is just missing seeing this microbe right here and this microbe is very important in helping you support this t-reg cell Al rudai is another really key microbe and unfortunately it too is very sensitive to broadspectrum antibiotics 97% of the population is missing this microbe too the other thing that's really cool about this Al rudai is it helps to increase this hormone called oxytocin which is probably one of the most potent antistress hormones ever now why is that important we can keep our immune system healthy you have to realize when we're going through stress we have high levels of cortisol cortisol suppresses the immune system normally should have like 35 billion white blood cells these are the soldiers that do all the work and when you're exposed to cortisol this suppresses the entire immune system just think about what is the treatment to autoimmune disease prazone what is prazone it's a steroid it's a synthetic version of cortisol it shuts down the entire immune system we also shut down the healing part of the immune system this is why people that have had too many steroid shots basically destroy their joints it acts as an antibiotic so vitamin D is not an immune suppressant that shuts the whole thing down only the parts that are overactive so this microb helps to kind of cool things down but this has a bigger effect over the entire immune system and I don't recommend just taking these in a pill I recommend cultivating these with a dairy product to increase these and that's going to help recede the small intestine start healing the small intestine and then start to build up the te reg cells so number one vitamin D is essential number two you reestablish the microbes that are usually missing and number three selenium now what does selenium do well that's a trace mineral you only need it in small amounts uh I would recommend like 200 micrograms not milligrams but selenium has a very unique function for the immune system if you're low in selenium you're going to have higher amounts of these two inflammatory cells and remember in autoimmune they're already too high so we have to lower this so selenium is going to help lower these two cells right here also selenium is going to help lower the antibodies and I'm talking about the it's called Auto antibodies which are involved in this self attack your own immune system is attacking itself selenium can help turn that down you can also take it as a supplement and the last point I'm going to bring up about this is prolong fasting when you do prolong fasting you can greatly increase the t-reg cells and there's a lot of people that are getting rid of inflammation by doing periodic prolong fasting I'm talking about like three days at a time you're not eating anything you're drinking water but you're not eating anything you can greatly improve your immune system system to the point where you can create new stem cells to build up your immune system so these three things right here are the most important things to help shift this very hot immune system problem bring it back to an Optimum temperature so you can put this autoimmune disease back in remission now since I spent a little more time in this vitamin D if you have not seen this video on vitamin D it's probably a good idea to check it out and I put that up right here
