In order to cure autoimmune disease, patients have to consider the possibility that Big Pharma's conventional model of this disease is wrong and that other models exist. In fact, several other models of medicine that are not under the dominion of Big Pharma regard the symptoms of autoimmunity as a curable illness.The Pathogens that Cause Autoimmune Disease
Scientists first started noticing the link between Salmonella typhi infection and diseases that involve Reactive Arthritis (Reiter’s Syndrome, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Enteropathic Arthritis) after a 1953 outbreak of Salmonella enterica in Sweden that was caused by the ingestion of meat that was contaminated with this bacteria.Scientists Mark J. Soloski and Eleanor S. Metcalf have established a “clear etiological link” between infection with Salmonella typhi (the microorganism that causes Typhoid Fever) and other Gram-negative pathogens that are able to colonize the digestive system. Their studies have linked prior infection with these Gram negative bacteria with the later development of Reiter’s Syndrome, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, or Enteropathic Arthritis.
These scientists are not alone in their discovery that autoimmune diseases are actually caused by the presence of colonizing – as opposed to infecting –pathogens. Below are examples of just a few studies that have shown that autoimmune disease is an infection:
- Scientists studying psoriasis, for example, have linked psoriasis symptoms directly to the presence of peptidoglycans from streptococcal bacteria infections, which is why over 80% of all psoriasis sufferers are completely cured of their disease when they combine ox bile supplements with Chlorine Dioxide Solution / Miracle Mineral Supplement and Dimethylsulfoxide.
- Scientists studying lupus have also noted a correlation between Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of lupus symptoms.
- Indeed, some scientists have even speculated that all autoimmune diseases may be caused by or affected by Helicobacter pylori infection.
- Scientists who are trying to find a cure for Behcet’s disease have repeatedly noted a relationship between infections with streptococcal bacterial, Staphylococcus aureus, herpes virus, and different types of intestinal flora bacteria that indicate that these pathogens may be colonizing the body of Behcet’s sufferers by living in the liver, gallbladder, or in the lymph nodes.
- One study that we found on autoimmune hepatitis said that visceral leishmaniasis, a parasite infection, could “mimic the symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis”. In other words, autoimmune hepatitis may, at least in some cases, simply be a misdiagnosis of a treatable parasite infection. In this article, we discuss these findings as well as the logic behind how to cure autoimmune hepatitis.
- A study into a bacterial infection that causes Crohn’s disease showed that an overabundance of an invasive type of E. coli bacteria promotes intestinal inflammation. Normally, in a healthy intestine, there are plenty of bacteria that produce molecular hydrogen, an antioxidant that can easily be administered at home as drinking water or via inhalation. We provide a link to more information about molecular hydrogen in our section on pH therapies below, but suffice it to say, again there is a pathogen involved in Crohn’s disease, another so-called “autoimmune condition”.
- Scientists studying autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis have linked Hepatitis C virus, the human parvovirus B19, the coxsackie virus, and the herpes virus to the disease.
This is just a small sample of the research that we’ve found up to this point noting colonizing pathogens as a causative agent in most, if not all autoimmune diseases.
Pathogen Infection vs. Colonization: What’s the Difference?
The difference between a full-blown infection with a pathogen and a colonizing pathogen involves:1) how the presence of the bacteria affects the patient’s health (in other words–how and which symptoms manifest as a result of the infection) and, 2) whether or not the pathogen can easily be transmitted as an infection to another person.
As more and more scientists find evidence that pathogens are at the core of autoimmune disease, doctors and researchers need to be willing to acknowledge that these pathogens can live in the liver, in the gallbladder, and also in the lymph nodes. It also goes without saying that the antibiotics that doctors are prescribing to kill these pathogens can’t reach these parts of the body. This is because the liver is responsible for preventing a buildup of toxic antibiotics in the body. When you take an antibiotic drug, the liver must break it down into a safe substance that can easily be removed either through the intestines as feces, or through the kidneys as urine. The only other way that toxins can be removed from the body is through the skin. If the liver itself is infected with a pathogen, and the liver breaks down the antibiotics that the doctor prescribes, the pathogens living in the liver and in the gallbladder, as well as in lymph nodes surrounding the intestines (and throughout the body), will be able to survive and thrive untouched.
These pathogens know how to evade antibiotics by inhabiting and colonizing remote areas of the body and, because they’re living in organs and tissues that are in the core of the body and are not readily exposed to the outside world, they’re able to cause autoimmune disease symptoms without causing infectious transmission of the disease to others. From this location, at the core of the body, pathogens can disrupt the autonomic nervous system by causing the Play Dead parasympathetic nervous system response that is identical to the general symptoms of all autoimmune diseases (fatigue, chronic pain, achiness, and feelings of malaise that happen in cycles). At the cellular level, this “play dead” parasympathetic nervous system response is called the Cell Danger Response. The Cell Danger Response model has been used successfully to treat autism and autoimmune diseases like fibromyalgia by using a component of Pinus strobus essential oil called Suramin that pulls cells out of a state of dormancy. But at the macro-level, patients can work with these autoimmune symptoms which are caused by deep, untreated and long-standing infections with pathogens by doing gentle exercises to reseat and re-align the cranial bones.
Which Reactive Oxygen Species medicines can be used as an Autoimmune Disease Cure?
While patients are working with other treatment options to bring cells out of a state of dormancy and restore balance to the autonomic nervous system, patients also need to simultaneously use a Reactive Oxygen Species medicine like one of the following to overcome the infection itself (these medicines below can target pathogens living in all areas of the body, including in the liver, gallbladder, and lymph nodes):- Chlorine Dioxide Solution / Miracle Mineral Solution
- Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
- Artemisia annua / Artemisinin with Cinchona Bark / Quinine
- Ozone Therapy
- Methylene Blue
Which pH Therapies can be used to strengthen Reactive Oxygen Species medicines?
The pH therapies listed below are also useful as a tool to potentiate Reactive Oxygen Species medicine. By alkalizing the body, patients highlight the pathogens to make it easier for the negative polarity of reactive oxygen species to seek out and find pathogens and kill them. Alkalizing also restores the internal terrain of the body, while killing pain, and relieving mental health issues such as anxiety, panic, and more:-
- Baking Soda Therapy -
- Baking Soda Therapy is also known as Simonici Therapy. Baking soda has a pH of 8 and so it can safely be used to increase alkalinity levels in the body as a natural treatment for autoimmune disease.
- Baking Soda Therapy -
-
-
- Kangen water and molecule hydrogen generators can be used to alkalize the body as a part of the Reactive Oxygen Species treatment.
-
-
-
- Coffee enemas alkalize the body while detoxifying the liver.
- Cesium Therapy -
- Cesium is the gold-standard in terms of pH therapy, but it is hard to get this vital mineral to alkalize the body. Lithium Orotate and baking soda are powerful alternatives to the use of cesium as a cure for autoimmune disease.
-
-
-
- Lithium Orotate is a trace mineral that is taken as a nutritional supplement and that is found in trace amounts in drinking water. It is very different from the prescription Lithium Carbonate that is given to patients with bipolar disorder. Populations of people who receive higher than average amounts of lithium orotate through the municipal water supply tend to have fewer suicides, fewer homicides, and lower rates of violent crime due to the calming effects of lithium orotate on the body and mind.

- We talk a bit about rubidium at this link about Cesium and how to substitute ionic rubidium as well as lithium orotate for cesium.
An Autoimmune Immune Disease Family Tree
At AlivenHealthy, we pay close attention to diseases that have certain characteristics in common. Rather than following the conventional medicine model which tries to create a long list of names and labels to differentiate one disease from another, our goal is to find commonalities among groups of diseases. Often these diseases that share similar characteristics can also be treated using the same or similar medicines. This means that if we find one cure or a set of cures, or a treatment protocol for a particular disease, that we may be able to extrapolate those same cures out to other similar diseases in order to reach more people who may then be able to overcome autoimmune disease.Below we provide a brief comparison and contrast of Reiter’s Syndrome, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Enteropathic Arthritis to highlight the similarities among these four diseases that are supposedly very different from one another.

Autoimmune Infection Disease Progression
Studies have shown that patients can develop autoimmune symptoms quite some time after an initial infection with Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella or Escherichia coli. One study, for example, followed patients who had been infected with Salmonella and who had recovered. The study found that some patients didn’t develop joint pain until 4 to 5 months after the initial infection. In reality, though, there may be no time limit in terms of how long it takes for a patient with Salmonella or another Gram-negative infection to develop autoimmune symptoms.Research indicates that the infectious pathogens that are the root cause of Reiter’s Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and Enteropathic Arthritis may specifically colonize the Mesenteric Lymph Nodes (lymph nodes located in or near the colon and small intestine). Through the lymphatic fluids, these bacteria can then cause inflammation and autoimmune symptoms in remote locations throughout the body. Animal studies have shown that Salmonella typhi is better able to travel throughout the body to cause autoimmune symptoms than Salmonella typhimurium or Salmonella enteritidis.
An even more advanced theory of infection that arthritis patients should consider is Terrain Theory, which challenges the prevailing Germ Theory that was developed in 1861 by Louis Pasteur. Terrain Theory accepts that bacteria, viruses, fungi, and all other types of microorganisms are pleomorphic and they can change shape based on environmental conditions inside the human body. Tissues in the body that have a particularly high pH level and are alkaline tend to be healthy and cause infectious pathogens to either die or revert back to non-infectious states. This ability that all pathogens have that allows them to change shape makes it possible for these pathogens to go unnoticed by scientists who are studying autoimmunity from the perspective of Germ Theory. The ability that these germs have to change shape also limits the utility of antibiotic treatments that have a narrow spectrum of action to kill these germs and effectively eliminate them from the body. Pleomorphism, or shape-changing abilities explain why antibiotics prescribed by the doctor don’t work to cure diseases that can be cured using chlorine dioxide solution, a substance with a much broader antibiotic spectrum than anything that doctors can prescribe to patients. Pleomorphic pathogens can’t hide from this medicine. Indeed, the use of pH therapy to restore the body’s terrain and natural immune system to health along with chlorine dioxide solution is a powerful combination treatment. While pH therapy causes pleomorphic pathogens to revert back to non-infective states, chlorine dioxide solution kills infective, colonizing bacteria, even in remote locations in the body to support the immune system until it is functioning properly to control disease.
Lipopolysaccharides and Peptidoglycans in Arthritis Patients
Lipopolysaccharides make up a significant proportion of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Peptidoglycans make up the outer cell walls of both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. In some patients, the digestive system is only able to break bacteria down partially, leaving behind partially digested lipopolysaccharides or peptidoglycans. Both the lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan “bits and pieces” of infectious pathogens are able to set off innate immunity in plants and in humans, but they won’t show up in any kind of test to see if a person has a pathogenic infection. Indeed, in psoriasis patients, peptidoglycans from Streptococcal bacteria cause extreme irritation and inflammation in the intestines, skin, and joints which is the primary underlying cause of all of the symptoms of this disease. And recently, researchers have found Salmonella lipopolysaccharides and nucleic acids in the joints of arthritis patients which are likely the cause of arthritis pain. In animal models of arthritis, researchers have found that even tiny amounts of peptidoglycans or lipopolysaccharides can cause joint inflammation and pain. In other words, eliminating the colonizing pathogen is a first step in overcoming autoimmune disease, but in order to do that, you have to use a medicinal agent that has access to the liver, the gallbladder, the lymph nodes, and even the bone marrow in some cases. As we’ve discussed above, Reactive Oxygen Species medicines are powerful antibiotics that can reach every corner of the human body. Below, we talk more about chlorine dioxide solution as one of the most convenient reactive oxygen species medicines available as an at-home treatment for autoimmune disease.Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) as an Autoimmune Disease Cure
Chlorine dioxide solution (CDS) is a substance that was originally used as a water purification agent in industrial water systems throughout the world. As such, most of our readers have consumed at least small quantities of chlorine dioxide solution via drinking water. Chlorine dioxide is non-toxic and it can be used by pregnant women, lactating women, infants, and young children without causing negative side effects.In addition, chlorine dioxide has an extremely broad spectrum of medicinal action on the body because it works through a process of oxidation. It has been used to cure autoimmune diseases and health problems related to autoimmunity ranging from autism to rheumatoid arthritis and HIV. The broad-spectrum activity of chlorine dioxide solution scares some people because many of us have been programmed to believe that there should be “1 pill for 1 disease” and to be skeptical of any panacea or medicine that could cure many diseases. But Chlorine Dioxide Solution / Miracle Mineral Supplement has become famous in the alternative medicine world, even despite efforts by Big Pharma to make people afraid of this medicine. The fact that it works to cure autoimmune disease (and diseases like cancer) has helped to spread the word despite the propaganda online.

Nonetheless, chlorine dioxide solution is the most common medicine used by people today to actually cure autoimmune disease. This medicine works quickly. Many people experience uncomfortable symptoms of detoxification at first, but then, notice immediately that the symptoms of their autoimmune disease have improved. If you aren’t familiar with chlorine dioxide or it’s sister compound, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO–an FDA approved, over-the-counter medicine that also has an extremely broad medicinal action), then we recommend that you download The Layperson’s Guide to Chlorine Dioxide and Miracle Mineral Solution and Complementary Therapies That Can Be Used with Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) / Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) to acquaint yourself with these medicines and how they can be used to cure autoimmune diseases.
And if you have an autoimmune disease, also consider downloading our Gallbladder book which details how to get rid of pathogens that are colonizing the gallbladder as well as the liver in order to restore health. Learning how to work with the gallbladder and the liver can help you control autoimmune diseases, which typically are rooted in these two organs.
Note that most patients require nutrient therapy with Lugol’s iodine, vitamin B17, and vitamin K2 among other things to fully recover so, if you’re just getting started on the path to healing, develop a protocol and don’t depend exclusively on chlorine dioxide solution / miracle mineral supplement to overcome a disease by itself. Many people become ill due to nutrient deficiencies in the first place and their tissues become susceptible to colonization by pathogens that must be killed or otherwise removed from the body while tissues are rebuilt through nutrient supplements, herbal treatments (that contain nutrients as well as medicinals to kill pathogens), and sometimes vibrational therapies like light, sound, magnetism, and electricity to bring sick, dormant cells back to life.
