Fat-Soluble Nutrients for Autoimmune Disease: How Vitamins A, D, E, and K2 and Omega-3's Affect Autoimmunity

Diet Protocols for Autoimmune Disease Patients: The Budwig Diet, The Gerson Protocol, and More to Cure Autoimmunity

Which diets can cure autoimmune disease? The dietary guidelines that we’ve outlined so far in this chapter are heavily based on the guidelines of other well-known, highly effective disease-curing diets. While some of the information we give elsewhere differs slightly from the diets below (due to research and experience of our own), many of the guidelines we recommend to patients are based on diets that have been used for decades to successfully cure cancer, autoimmune disease, and other serious illnesses. Below, we talk about the Budwig Diet, the Gerson Diet, and the China Study Diet as important, groundbreaking dietary protocols. Patients with autoimmune disease will benefit from learning about these.  We also talk specifically about Sir Jason Winters Tea, a special herbal tea blen...

How to Use Enzyme Therapy for Better Digestion, to Prevent Cancer, Cure Autoimmune Disease and Reclaim Your Health

Enzyme Therapy Basics In this article, we’re going to provide basic details on how to use digestive enzymes to quell digestive problems, improve digestion easily and quickly, and to improve nutrient absorption at the same time. Enzyme therapy is easy to do and it works relatively quickly to improve digestion and general health. A lot of our readers are working with Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) / Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) to overcome chronic disease or to treat major infections and enzyme therapy can be used safely with CDS/MMS to improve results. It’s best to take the enzymes at a different time than when you take your CDS/MMS dose, but it’s unlikely that they’ll cancel out the CDS/MMS as long as the product you’re using doesn’t contain antioxidants. A lot of clients ask abo...

Can diet cure autoimmune disease? Vitamin B17 / Amygdalin and Other Nutrient Cures for Autoimmunity

Watermelons have been hybridized into "seedless" varieties that no longer provide people with doses of vitamin B17. Grapes have the same story. People have been sold on the idea that "seedless is better". In reality, seeded watermelons and seeded grapes naturally prevent and treat cancer and autoimmune diseases. The Vitamin B17 Protocol to Cure Autoimmune Disease In other articles, we've gone into great detail regarding the question, can diet cure autoimmune disease?, but in this article, we're going to focus on 3 important nutrition-related items that can get autoimmune disease sufferers on the road to healing. At the center of this discussion though, is vitamin B17 / amygdalin, a nutrient that has been carefully hidden from the public and stealthily removed from the food supply to ens...

The Autoimmune Disease Diet: The Basic Guidelines for Healthy Eating

A Functional and Sustainable Autoimmune Diet Protocol... Diet is the base of any healing protocol for any disease. While some people may experience some minute benefits from using natural, alternative treatments for autoimmune disease without adopting healthy, appropriate dietary practices, most patients see the most positive changes when they choose to make dietary changes. The Autoimmune Disease Diet doesn't have to be boring, and to be clear, following this diet doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give up your favorite foods. It does require some creativity, in some cases, to “remake” the foods that bring you joy (feeling happy is important for healing, too, after all), but I find that the vast majority of so-called “comfort” foods are attainable with healthy, whole ingredients s...

Alternative Treatment for Autoimmune Disease: High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy

Some nutritional sources of vitamin C might surprise you... in addition to taking a vitamin C supplement, try to incorporate vitamin C into your diet, too. Can Vitamin C cure autoimmune disease? Vitamin C is perhaps one of the most commonly talked about and best understood vitamins among the general public. However, while a lot of the information that’s propagated about vitamin C is true (which is somewhat unusual when it comes to disease cures and treatments that work), a large majority of Americans and other people in developed countries, and beyond, have been taught that vitamin supplements have limited utility. In fact, outside of encouraging pregnant women to take a prenatal supplement, little is done to encourage the use of vitamin and mineral supplements among the rest of the pop...

The Autoimmune Disease Diet: What to Eat and What Foods to Avoid to Increase Health and Healing

What should I eat on the Autoimmune Diet? Foods to Eat The foods that are most beneficial for patients on the Autoimmune Disease Diet are those that are the richest in the most essential nutrients for autoimmune disease patients. While it’s ultimately up to you which whole foods you choose to include more often and which ones you may eat less frequently, the foods below offer some specific benefits. If there’s a particular food on this list that you really don’t like, you’re not obligated to eat it. This list is merely a suggestion of ideal food choices, and intended to generate ideas for healthy, autoimmune disease-healing eating and cooking. Since some readers are likely just getting started with home cooking and healthy eating, use this list to help brainstorm about the healthy foods...

Toxic Load and Autoimmune Disease: How Pharmaceutical Drugs and Environmental Toxins Cause Autoimmunity

A Brief Overview of Toxins That Are Known to Cause Autoimmunity In May of 1981 in Spain, a new syndrome suddenly developed that was caused by the distribution of industrial rapeseed oil that had been refined to remove aniline denaturants. Itinerant salesmen had been selling unlabeled 5 liter bottles of this “refined oil” and ultimately, 20,000 people were affected by what later became known as Toxic Oil Syndrome. About 1,200 people died from exposure to this rapeseed oil which contained only traces of toxic fatty acid anilides and related compounds. Scientists are still not entirely sure what the contaminant was that actually caused Toxic Oil Syndrome and investigation into this health problem continues. Though Toxic Oil Syndrome was eventually identified as a type of poisoning, pat...

How Vitamin B-Complex Deficiency Causes Autoimmune Disease

Surprising Autoimmune Disease Symptoms Caused by B Vitamin Deficiencies Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Formal thiamine deficiency disease is known as beriberi, and can manifest in 3 different forms: dry beriberi, wet beriberi, or gastrointestinal beriberi. Dry beriberi predominantly affects the nervous system, wet beriberi affects the cardiovascular system, and gastrointestinal beriberi, of course, affects the gastrointestinal system. Because thiamine deficiency can affect such different areas of the body, it can be difficult to pin down in the more early stages. Vitamin B1 deficiency is often misdiagnosed as another kind of disease; while misdiagnosis isn’t a good thing, the positive part of having too little of a particular nutrient, like vitamin B1, is that the health problems caused by the de...

Everything You Need to Know about Vitamin K2 / Menaquinone-7 / MK-7

A number of fermented foods that are properly prepared contain vitamin K2, but otherwise, this substance is no longer widely available in the food supply of developed nations thanks to organophosphate herbicides and insecticides. What is Vitamin K2? Most people in the industrialized world are aware of vitamin K1, since it’s been around for quite a long while in the public eye. Few people worry about their vitamin K1 intake as our gut flora are supposed to produce this vitamin naturally. Average people have heard of vitamin K1 and they may even know that vitamin K1 is a nutrient that ensures that we have normal blood clotting reactions that are neither too extreme nor not extreme enough. After all, the “K” in K1 is an aptly named vitamin that comes from the German word “Koagulation”. Som...

Vitamin D: The Harmful Effects of Supplementing without Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 with Vitamin D: Two Vitamins That Work Together Most people don’t realize it, but when taken by itself, vitamin D (which includes vitamin D3 or vitamin D2) can cause calcification of soft tissues throughout the body (such as calcium buildup in the arteries or calcium deposits in the kidneys or bladder, pancreas, liver, breasts (as breast calcifications), and more). Vitamin D causes calcium to be absorbed into the bloodstream but then, rather than depositing it in either the bones and teeth, vitamin D by itself puts calcium into the soft tissues. Without vitamin K2 / Menaquinone-7 / MK-77, vitamin D will direct the calcium into any number of soft tissues where it decidedly does not belong. The vitamin K2 is necessary to ensure that calcium in the diet (or in supplements though g...

Vitamin A: How to Cure Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and Other Types of Cancer Using Nutrients

How to Use Vitamin A as a Nutrient Cure for Cancer Vitamin A is an important substance that helps the body properly rebuild tissues and fight infection. So it makes sense that vitamin A would play an important role in fighting cancer. Vitamin A is typically used as a helper-therapy in a variety of cancer diets although some research has shown that certain types of cancer such as Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia goes into remission in response to vitamin A therapy as a stand-alone treatment 80% of the time. That being said, vitamin A can assist as a cure for many forms of cancer, not just leukemia. On the other hand, though lung cancer patients who actively still smoke are advised against taking vitamin A supplements as vitamin A can sometimes make lung cancer worse. Lung cancer patients...
