    Hello,

    I suggest you start with a candida cleanse with drainage first then do the Liver and Kidney biotherapeutic drainage. You need to drain the liver and kidneys for several months to a year straight so that toxins aren’t being sent to the skin. The BTD on this platform is only 8 weeks long. After that you should continue drainage with a practitioner.

    8 weeks isn’t enough for liver drainage however the candida ebook has the Gemmotherapy for the liver which lasts you 8 weeks. After that, you can do the BTD on this website while continuing with antifungals (if needed). After completing both protocols though, you would definitely need to work with someone if you want to continue drainage 🙂

    Does this make sense? 🙂

    Hey! Welcome 🙂

    First of all with an infection such as staph, you need to be off ALL sugar including naturals sugars as well as starches. The only starches allowed in moderation would be berries, buckwheat and peas, squash. You also need to start a candida cleanse with liver and kidney drainage. I have a step by step ebook protocol for this that you can follow or you can do it on your own but regardless, you want to start taking antifungals, antiparasitics, antibacterials and antivirals.

    For your mom, I cant diagnose as I am not a doctor, however, ive seen many people with that redness and it is usually rosacea. I have Youtube videos on rosacea and BLOG posts too if that is what it is 🙂

    The shift from simply being infected to having the infection ramp up and become dangerous can happen quickly.
    Respiratory symptoms, changes in heart rate, lowering of SpO2, changes in labs like clotting characteristics or elevated MPO, profoundness of fatigue, and whatever your clinical practitioner tells you, these are all points to look for.
    It’s crucial to remember that COVID is a disease that can move quickly. Having a set of symptom questions daily, so you have a chance to track how you’re doing is a good idea. The only advice I can give if you aren’t sure how to tell what phase you’re in is to work with a practitioner who does. ESPECIALLY in regards to COVID.

    The C3 Nephritic Factor reflects an autoimmune response, stabilizing C3, the net effect of which will be a lowering of the C3 level.
    This patient needs to be treated as an autoimmune patient (Treg and Th1 promotion). Additionally, anti-pathogenic support (Th1 and NK cells) is also appropriate, to push back against the pathogen burden. It’s good that the patient can generate an ASO elevation, as it suggests there isn’t a blank spot with regard to immune response against strep.

    This paper might be useful. You’ll find several case reports like it.

    Am J Nephrol. 1990;10(5):426-30. doi: 10.1159/000168162.
    Persistent low C3 levels associated with meningococcal meningitis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

    I can’t give many suggestions as I am not his practitioner but bring these points up with his ND and see what can be done.

    I assume this is strep glomerulonephritis? Are his total Qn Ig’s normal or low?
    Has he had a workup for Goodpasture’s syndrome?
    Was anything done in tx that may explain the low C3 and C4?
    What’s being done to address the strep?

    A virus vector is a virus engineered to contain a DNA sample that you’d like to deliver into a cell. The virus is typically not the original source of the DNA. It’s just a means for getting that DNA into a cell in a lab or in a host.

    From Wikipedia:
    Viral vectors are tailored to their specific applications but generally share a few key properties.
    Safety: Although viral vectors are occasionally created from pathogenic viruses, they are modified in such a way as to minimize the risk of handling them. This usually involves the deletion of a part of the viral genome critical for viral replication. Such a virus can efficiently infect cells but, once the infection has taken place, requires a helper virus to provide the missing proteins for production of new virions.
    Low toxicity: The viral vector should have a minimal effect on the physiology of the cell it infects.
    Stability: Some viruses are genetically unstable and can rapidly rearrange their genomes. This is detrimental to predictability and reproducibility of the work conducted using a viral vector and is avoided in their design.
    Cell type specificity: Most viral vectors are engineered to infect as wide a range of cell types as possible. However, sometimes the opposite is preferred. The viral receptor can be modified to target the virus to a specific kind of cell. Viruses modified in this manner are said to be pseudotyped.
    Identification: Viral vectors are often given certain genes that help identify which cells took up the viral genes. These genes are called markers. A common marker is resistance to a certain antibiotic. The cells can then be isolated easily, as those that have not taken up the viral vector genes do not have antibiotic resistance, and so cannot grow in a culture with the relevant antibiotic present

    So, a couple of things in regards to the science of it. First, antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) is a real phenomenon. The people who design vaccines are keenly aware of it. It was a problem with the Ebola vaccine, as I understand it.
    As regards tothe question of epitopes, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are mRNA vaccines that target a single epitope target. That does mean you’ve only got one T cell / B cell pair whose antibody generating capacity is the basis for the effectiveness. In ordinary infection, you often have more than one epitope against which you’ve made antibodies (as with EBNC, VCA, and EA in EBV). The weakness of a strategy that depends on a single epitope target is that if the virus mutates in a way that means that target isn’t present anymore, the effectiveness of the vaccine is lost. That’s an entirely separate phenomenon from ADE.

    I have talked about fodmaps WITHIN videos but i have not made a video all on its own because I am not entirely in the belief that ALL fodmaps need to be avoided just like lectins. some people insist that ALL lectins need to be cut out whereas I am more interested in only cutting out the MAIN high lectin or MAIN high FODMAP foods as I like to focus on the root cause instead.

    Maple syrup is OK but it is just like liquid sugar so essentially would still cause inflammation, etc. However, in very tiny amounts, im sure it is fine 🙂 One thing to note though… if FODMAP foods flare your IBS, then you shouldnt be having ANY sugar, not even 1 gram worth until you’ve improved your IBS/SIBO. Hope this helps!

    All sugars can feed cancer cells and trigger inflammation, even natural sugars.

    The healthiest sugars are raw honey as they are antibacterial and support the immune system but should only be consumed very conservatively. I also like raw dates to sweeten things too and coconut sugar. Monk fruit and lucuma powder are great alternatives also.

    For stevia, the best is green stevia which you can buy online (I like Organic Traditions). Otherwise, stevia extract (aka tincture) is good.

    Hello!

    From the research I have done, it is Vit A and D deficiency. I would getting blood work done to see the levels and then try supplementing for a little while and then getting testing again. Just work with a practitioner who can truly read AND interpret BW results as very often the Vit D levels come back as normal when in fact there is a deficiency.

    Exfoliating and moisturizing also helps so keep that going 🙂
