Introduction

This video discusses how to put autoimmune diseases into remission, focusing on the link between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and these conditions. Dr. Berg explains the role of EBV, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices in triggering or managing autoimmune diseases. He then outlines a five-point plan to help achieve remission.

Key Takeaways

• The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) connection: 90% of the population has been exposed to EBV, which can go dormant and reactivate under certain conditions, potentially triggering autoimmune diseases.
• Environmental factors: Stress (particularly bereavement), gut dysbiosis (caused by radiation, antibiotics, or diet), nutritional deficiencies (vitamin D, zinc), and certain drugs or even pregnancy can trigger autoimmune diseases.
• Five-point plan for remission:
  1. Reduce stress: Use methods such as HRV testing to monitor stress levels and implement stress reduction techniques.
  2. Address gut dysbiosis: Take probiotics and consume fermented vegetables, starting with small amounts to avoid adverse reactions.
  3. Incorporate intermittent fasting: Fast for 48 hours every two weeks to reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system.
  4. Decrease inflammation: Follow a ketogenic diet, supplement with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.
  5. Consider PMGs (Protomorphogens): These glandular extracts from Standard Process may act as decoys for antibodies, helping to manage the autoimmune response.
