Whether it is clear or not, millions of people suffer from autoimmunity. Most weight gain, brain and mood problems, and fatigue, is rooted in autoimmunity. Many autoimmune conditions can be reversed through a targeted protocol designed to heal the autoimmune system. Learn more about these protocols in Dr. O'Bryan's book.

Autoimmunity is when your body has an inappropriate immune reaction toward itself or certain organs and tissues within the body – basically, the immune system attacks the body rather than protecting it. This triggers a cascade of inflammation and causes a host of often debilitating symptoms.

Lupus Erythematosus and Scleroderma are classified as vascular diseases and can be treated in a similar manner with equally good results. Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic, nontuberculous disease of the skin marked by disklike patches with raised reddish edges and depressed centers, and covered with scales or crusts. These fall off, leaving dull-white scars. Scleroderma is a disease of the skin in which thickened, hard, ridged, and pigmented patches occur. During the course of the disease, the connective tissue of the skin layer beneath the epidermis (corium) and the subcutaneous structures are increased and a "hidebound" condition results.

We are creatures that evolved to live in light. These days we spent about 90% of our time indoors and as a result have significantly reduced the amount of exposure we get to various light wavelengths. Also called photobiomodulation, red light therapy provides just the right wavelengths our body uses for rejuvenating processes.

Onnetsu is a Japanese therapeutic system that uses heat to diagnose and cure. It is the brainchild of Mrs. Tomeko Mitsui, a Japanese schoolteacher who, at retirement, enrolled in an institute to study Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Onnetsu Therapy is simply the application of heat following the theory that heat heals.

In this episode of The Ultimate Health Podcast, Datis Kharrazian, Ph.D., D.H.Sc., D.C., M.S., M.M.Sc., F.A.C.N., discusses how Hashimoto’s attacks the thyroid gland, balancing thyroid hormones doesn’t fully address Hashimoto’s, infections that can cross-react with the thyroid how chemicals can impact thyroid function, and more.

One of the most common and most overlooked autoimmune triggers is bisphenol-A (BPA). BPA is found in all plastics, including water bottles, plastic coffee lids, the lining of cans, plastic utensils, and even in the ink on store receipts. Although it is impossible to completely avoid plastics, it is critical for you to reduce your exposure to plastics and BPA as much as possible if you have Hashimoto’s.

CNN's award-winning chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a chief neurosurgeon, puts medical marijuana under the microscope. All three of CNN's current "Weed" documentaries compiled into one video.

Is UBI safe? There has never been a death or even a major medical complication that has been recorded as a result of using UBI. This is a non-drug therapy that is simple to use and affects so many disorders.

How does it work? Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, the UVC (Ultraviolet C wave length – 254 nm) light dismantles the virus or bacteria that you have in your blood. As a result, many viral and bacterial diseases respond to UBI therapy.

Over 100 years ago, Faroese-Danish physician/researcher Niels Finsen found that ultraviolet light could effectively treat skin disorders. Learn what has happened with this technology since then.

In light of the antibiotic resistant super bugs like MRSA, it is almost criminal that Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI) therapy should not be considered as a common treatment.

Your thyroid regulates your metabolism, creation of proteins and tissues, hormone utilitzation, management of calcium between blood and tissue, and brain development. Learn about autoimmune issues of the thyroid.

The purpose of this article is to explain in simple terms the incredible physiological effects of oxidation therapy, particularly ozone, and why it might be of help to so many problems.

Is the effect of drinking hydrogen water too good to be true? Julian Whitaker, M.D., thought so at first. But the deeper he delved into the hundreds of scientific papers examining the effects of hydrogen therapy, also called molecular hydrogen or H2 therapy, on scores of health challenges, the more he became convinced this is a true scientific breakthrough.

With the help of stem cells, hyperbaric oxygen, glutathione and life style changes, patients with Parkinson's can often slow disease progression, improve function, and enhance overall health.

Food allergy or intolerance can produce any symptom under the sun: from migraines, fatigue, PMS, painful joints, itchy skin to depression, hyperactivity, hallucinations, obsessions and other psychiatric and neurological manifestations.

It is a mixture of immune and growth factors as well as important nutrients, all designed to activate newborn's immune system. Numerous studies show that colostrum and its components continue to exert important biological activities also when given to adults.

Statistics show that almost 80% of all hypothyroidism is actually the autoimmune disease of Hashimoto's. Often times Hashimoto's does not get diagnosed if the practitioner fails to run the proper antibody test. If the correct diagnosis is determined, then the treatment is actually for immune dysfunction more than thyroid dysfunction.
