Went 9 years being dismissed and ridiculed as I got sicker and sicker. Saw 20-30 of Sydney's best doctors and specialists; got nothing from them. Finally had enough and decided to try a naturopath. He told me I had CIRS before the end of my first session. Lost my whole 20's, purely because doctors couldn't be arsed.
@Rae_777 hi Rae, do you mind if I ask how you are treated for cns inflammation? Is this through a certain medication? Or other means? My naturopath believes my gut issues are caused by neuro inflammation, and I have some costly tests booked in. But i would love to understand what future treatments might look like.
@@Rae_777would love to know who they are! My daughter was diagnosed at age 3 with Crohn’s and as a lifelong sufferer of rare disorders, I have already learned to be my own detective/doctor. In all my life I have never heard of this let alone any doctor figuring this out here in the US. Are you from here?? This situation with my daughter (and myself) goes way beyond a Crohn’s dx. I have figured out for the most part the things that aggravate her immune system but I can’t avoid the bio toxin she is exposed to at her grandparents which she has spent lots of time at since her birth. I have to limit detoxing foods because that’s exactly what seems to happen is it releases them and it’s like they have nowhere to go. Does this doctor provide treatments to safely detox? PLEASE share this information! One thing I’ll leave here for others is that soaking in epsom salt/bentonite clay baths has probably saved her life. Taking charcoal helps a lot too just beware of loosing too many minerals using charcoal.
Having been chronically sick and had Lyme for over 50 years may I say that this man is one of the most knowledgeable I've heard, he really knows his stuff.
My son and I have had everything he describes here. This explains why the nerves in the gut of my son and I. No one could explain to me why the internal abdomen throbbed. I can actively see my stomach throb. The nerves and leaky gut explains this reaction. Our root cause was mold and other bio toxins but an important issue for us was extreme EMF exposure. We lived and slept next to 23 smart meters. I believe this caused the nervous and immune system to break down and unable to detox the bio toxins. We are 7 months out and much better but not 100%. More like 80% and my son is 14 and still struggles with leaky gut and brain symptoms. I feel like they experimented on us as no one knows what the effect of those EMF devices long term.
Honestly I think enchephilitis and endotoxemia are pretty much responsible for the majority of people who present as having "psychiatric" conditions. Gut and brain inflammation isn't the cause but a dysfunctional response to a casual factor such as endo/exotoxins and metabolic dysfunction either independently or mediated via toxin load/nutritional deficiencies both of which feed into each other. It's good to be reductionist to an extent but there is so much interplay. Leaky cells you could say is a metabolic issue
Yes Oh my god yes. I used to describe it like that to my doctors and they said "Oh that's just anxiety" It wasn't until I was being taken by ambulance to the hospital with encephalitis I knew why it felt like my brain was on fire.... I had Lyme/Coinfections. It almost killed me. That was over 2 years ago and Ive never recovered...
Check out this book for Lyme, there’s a person who cured their Lyme from the info in this book “Healing Lyme” by Stephen Harrod Buhner You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, best wishes and rapid healing
There's so much scummy advertising on YT it's hard to get an authentic experience, but yes, his Book/ Protocol saved me, 2. Took A LOT of research and work but worth it. This channel is the only other I've seen as thorough! 😮🙏
Start taking charcoal and medi-clay immediately! It will pull the toxins out from your body. My son is going through this too and has been for the past year. I had this as well from a WDB and breast implants. So ,any toxins gave me infections, about 8 to 10 autoimmune diseases. I was bedridden for about a year and had to retire from my teaching career. I lost SO much of everything and everybody! Check out Doug Kaufman’s anti-fungal diet. It’s a long road, but I’m way better, especially after getting rid of the toxic foreign bodies that formed hardened tissue around the implants. They looked like dried up slabs of bacon or salami after they came out!
Another Fantastic presentation. Well done. You have a gift for explaining complex biological processes in an easily digestible manner. As an ex hypnotherapist and nutritional counsellor I applaud your efforts. I used to cure depression and various mental health problems with a combination of hypnotherapy and nutritional supplementation ( high B vitamins , omega 3's and various other neutraceuticals depending on their issues) Along woth exercise. Also by basically getting clients on a ketogenic diet which is sooo helpful for the brain and for mitochondrial health. 25 years ago I was considered a bit of a quack....but I had a fantastic track record. Keepthe videos coming. I am a big Fan.
Keto is one of the worst things a CIRS patient can do, Dr shoemakers points this out in various lectures, although initially I had a positive response to keto, after 3 months it made me much worse, however once completion of his protocol I do advocate the keto/carnivore diet
Yeah. Not convinced. CIRS is definitely a complex problem but saying that an antinflammatory, ketogenic diet is " worse" for Cirs?? Not buying it. Anything that reduces the excess load of inflammation allows the body to deal with problems better...no matter what. Does it eradicate the root cause? NO. But it lowers systemic inflammation overall. How could that possibly be a bad thing? You may need adjunct therapies to solve the underlying issues but lowering glycation, c reactive protien, inflammation? How can that not benefit the body in healing? It defies logic.
Thanks Elliott. I've recently realised my fibromyalgia may be linked to living in a water damaged property so this was very helpful, thank you. Recently started taking a high dose d3 k2, magnesium and sulbutiamine and its been a game changer. I appreciate every video. Kudos.
Such a comprehensive well laid out explanation of this illness. I sincerely appreciate your contribution to bringing awareness,understanding and healing ❤
Described me to a T~! Currently I'm on Low Dose Naltrexidone. Into 4th week and the Fatigue is better. I'm able to get up and get things done. So Refreshing. How is it that an Opiate blocker is giving me back stamina ? I never used opiates and I am Allergic to them. I do believe it is my gut, as a child I was always on Anti-biotics for toncilitious..... But I have my great grandmothers diary. She too had this pain/fatigue, as do some sisters,cousins, nieces. The men seem to escape it. She didn't live when they had anti-biotics. I've been gluten, dairy, sugar free for Years..... I've had many Mold/toxins/viral exposures too. GREAT EXPLANATION~!
@M. Z. Yes, thanks. I do have MTHFR, COMT, Hemochromotosis, Polycythemia..... and only God knows what else. But knowing all that has not FIXED me. Any suggestions? When God said who wants bad genes I thought he said blue genes and I said, I'll take 3 Thanks~!
@M. Z. Yes, I got the luck of the draw with bad genes. Yes, I have the mutated MTHFR gene along with COMT. Many in my family have MTHFR. Tell me more about the amino acids. have not heard that before. I give blood as the treatment of hemoChomo... and Poly too. They throw it away rather than donate because Tx doesn't let them use that blood. I have never heard of TTFD, where can I learn about that? I take Tons of supplements. Every Methylated B I can find. I take extra B1 and Riboflavin. The LDN is making my sleep worse again....? but at least I can get up and get somethings done, where as before I had 5-6 bad days a week. Never had a transketolase test or other more in-depth vitamin and mineral levels testing. What is transketolase? How do I find your story on HormonesMatter.com ?? Thanks for any insight~!!!!!
@M. Z. So is Thiamin the same thing as Benfotiamine. The B1 that I take is Benfotiamine. Just read a story of a boy with reacuring Tonsilitious and swollen glands, sore stomach. That was my child hood and still into my old age. Said he got better with Thiamin. Maybe I'm not taking enough~!
Elliot, would love to hear more about how Lyme confections such as mycoplasma and barreling can produce indistinguishable symptoms to that of CFS, arthitis and multiple sclerosis.
Oregano oil capsules 20 days on, 7 off for me-gets rid of my chills I've had for over 20 years. Zane Hellas Greece has scientific articles on biofilms and persister cells worth reading.
@@carrikartes1403 I do take that, 500 mg, should be 900 mg but I'm an easy bleeder and it is a vasodilator. Was used to treat leprosy which is a similar spirochete.
When I was a child doctors tortured me. They were greedy to understand what was wrong with me because they wanted to put their names on me. The research you're talking about is the torture that was done to me, and somehow I'm the last to learn any of this? We paid doctors so they could exploit me, and none of this came back to me? I have nerve damage in my right arm because of what they did! I am utterly enraged.
It's so ill of today's medical system all around the world, more than humanity we feed greed into the students learning it. Sad you had to go through all this. How are you doing now? I hope you did your research well and got answers and recovered ?
That's a great video.. please also share how to reduce the quinolinic acid and how to re activate the adaptive immune system in the brain.. waiting for your next video
This is a brilliant and clear presentation! It describes my case 🧠🔥. I had a Nutritionist/ Functional Medicine practitioner, 4 years ago, who helped me with that, mold was the main issue,. But I am not well (housebound most of the time, fatigue and anxiety have worsened). Heavy metals, and a high viral load, I guess, are also affecting me, Doing a lot of things but don't see improvement. Looking forward to watching your next video.
Research MTHFR gene and methylation of B vitamines as well as Glutathione to help detox. I just started taking low dose naltrexadone, and it is helping me with fatigue, stamina and get up and go. How it works, I have NO Idea~! They say it will help with pain, but I haven't felt that yet. God Bless You~!
This video is absolutely brilliant and offers a very clear visual and well described representation of my own theories of multiple chronic illnesses, which I believe to be one and the same illness regardless of the label (I know peeps love their labels but I think they aren’t helpful). It’s so interesting this video appeared today, because I was just writing a somewhat similar hypothesis for the homepage of my blog (not yet published). The only thing I disagree with is the necessity to identify a root cause. Speaking from personal experience, I think this can be irrelevant and the arduous (and distracting) journey to seek out a root cause can significantly detract from trying various treatment strategies. But that’s just my opinion 🥰 - really looking forward to the next video.
@@lucyb.2782 I think it's different for everyone, and it's not one thing, it's finding the right combination of treatments and strategies that works for you. I wish it were simpler but in my experience and observation it's not.
I've always thought it's from my ABI or tbi with bleeding in the brain and the pressures...although I've had gut issues too, so, I'm really listening here.
Elliot I think the role of lactate I extremely important here also and should be measured by medical professionals. Lactic acidosis due to thiamine deficiency and also increased b-lactate levels from intestinal issues. It’s good for patients to give medical professionals something to measure and I think lactate could be very useful to this end.
@@Tinyteacher1111 yes d-Lactate not b I think that was an autocorrect. One can’t even find anyone to measure it here in the U.K. the body responds to all of the toxins, no matter what they are in a similar way (I hypothesise) metabolic dysfunction = more lactate = more metabolic dysfunction. It can be measured... and it isn’t.
I have the exact symptoms, may I ask how long you've been like this ? What have you done sofar ? Greatly appreciated 🙏 By the way I'm 55 do you think it's related to menopause?
I have a progressive neuro condition, have had several brain surgeries, AND can no longer have any NSAIDS! What are my options to reduce NI, since this affects my mobility, 2?!👀
Amazing video as always Elliot. Is having a predisposition to innate and adaptive immune connection common? I would imagine that there are other things that can cause this communication to go awry, like pathogens and other stressors.
@@KKing55 of course, those are all bare minimum things I was doing even prior to covid. Minus the spinach bc of oxolates. I was literally the one of the healthiest people I knew. Everyone is kinda still in shock that this has been my experience with covid.
@@northernflicker1111 I imagine that's why covid treatment with mms (chlorine dioxide) and or ivermectin and probably many other anti parasitics are effective. MMS has worked for me in the past especially along with a high alkaline diet for depression, anxiety, cfs etc. It supposedly oxides heavy metals as well which is good for me since my mercury levels were 37 x above normal. Dr Andreas Kalcker is a good info source...on yt
@@JesusTheMightyGodMinistries I second that suggestion! It is another important piece of the puzzle for many people. Caring Medical discusses how the vagus nerve runs from the skull through the neck, and how easily it can be compressed from poor posture (such as looking down at a computer or a phone all day), or damage to the vertebrae or misalignment from even a very minor car accident that may not show up on an MRI or CAT scan. You lie down with those scans, which may not show what is really going on. in the vagus nerve that runs throughout our body and causes virtually all the same symptoms of Long Covid, brain inflammation from pathogens, etc. Definitely check it out! I have a cardiologist friend who sends many of his patients to Dr. Hauser for treatment, which is simple but ingenious.
When it comes to these issues, which are needed very complex, complexity does not necessarily equal “better” in terms of treatments. Simple and elemental will ALWAYS have the most agency. Learning more often just leads us down rabbit holes. It is more helpful to people and to healing that we find simple things that work. You will get a lot of attention explaining to people their symptoms but it is not appropriate or applicable to constantly seek out what needs “cleaning up” and trying to find different ways to clean. It’s like trying every cleaning product in the store when soap and water will do. The tight junctions/gut permeability is the root of the long standing issues and responses. Focus on building the body not finding and eradicating the “pathogens”. There are too many to “fight”. Fix the permeability fix most things hence the success I’d the carnivore diet. Keep it simple and use your intuition. complexity can seem clever but it isn’t… understanding is useful but you are better off trying to work out why the carnivore diet works so well for so many, the mechanism there. There are also so many more ways that eradicate issues across the board by increasing oxygen. Still a bandaid maybe but it’s simpler and easier than trying to seek out all the “bad guys”. the world is “toxic”. It’s getting more so. ‘This way of thinking about it doesn’t work best and is extremely expensive to implement in many ways.
Having followed you for a while I feel it may seem that you need more understanding when really you need to find basic truths. Basic. Not complex. truly great minds find connections. Patterns. Following and analysing every branch of the tree doesn’t teach you what it needs when just needs light and water.
Could you please share what helped you the most in your gut n overall health? Do you have strict diet n what do you eat in a day n what do you think about fasting ? Appreciate your help 🙏😊
@@hollywoodn_t true. .. but some people can't hear anything unless or until it has a certain level of "technical speak" .../making sense to their "perceived smart self perspective" ...if it f doesn't sound like a complex key for a complex lock- then it can't possible be the solution to "their problem" BECAUSE "they ARE a *sophisticated * person/educated person .... so the "mental hoops" have to be flaming because they see themselves as an acrobatic tiger.... i.e. their monkeys and their circus need to have matching tent and circus showman/ring master to match.. i.e. branding/marketing . It truly is ridiculous...but most people are HEAVILY Identified in some way bu ttb have no clue...
Elliot, if you take several doses of b1 throughout the day do you always have to take it with magnesium? Does it always have to be mag glycinate? How would you dose throughout the day with b1 hcl to prepare it for allithiamine? Thank you so much for your videos. I have had severe IBS and in the last 10 yrs my focus and mental health have suffered greatly.
the general rule is that it's better to take supplements in several doses. Don't worry about taking magnesium with every dose, you just have to take it every day. Mg malate works best for me. Better experiment and educate yourself about the differences.
I only just discovered that my depression, anxiety and brain fog improve when I take an aspirin! By the way... I'm not usually susceptible to placebo since I've tried a million supplements and usually notice no benefit.
Thank you! How to get toxins in to the body: through skin lung and Intestinal. How to get rid of toxins: through the sama and the urine. How to do it: fasting, individ related healthy eating, sauna, excersis, sunlight, fresh air, sleep. I'm curious abut ice bath for this purpose. Is there any knowledge on that?

@@graemegeorgeharrison2468 It’s so horribly life changing. I feel for you too, you’re only second person I’ve heard of with these symptoms. It’s so frustrating. What are you doing for it?
The problem is that you refuse new patient. My condition is very serious, my head is burning, Can 't sleep, can't eat enough. I am just 50 and it's like my life is over. And I saw so many doctors and spent so much money for nothing...
My son is 35 and has had this for over a year. He’s living with me to get out of his dad’s house. He went through hell, and since I had this before, I recognized it when he started staying with me after attempting to take his life. Thankfully, I knew what to do, and a doctor who is a certified mold specialist and functional medicine practitioner. It’s costing me a fortune, and I already lost most of my money when I had this along with breast implant illness. The body can only take so many toxins! I’m on the anti fungal diet, and it’s been 3 1/2 years since my implants were removed, then I moved, had my house thoroughly inspected, etc., however, I still have something… I think maybe a stealth infection, but my pain doctor says no, and my regular doctor didn’t even know about how toxic breast implants are. I almost lost my life, and sometimes I wish I had, except that I could recognize this in my son.

just south of you. 18 years, many functional docs later... It is from your gut. Bone broth, probiotics, fermented foods. Whole Food Plant based diet. Removed from any/all Toxins, Although I'm better to a degree, I am not healed. You may have MTHFR Gene, or COMT gene. But knowing that I have the Gene doesn't FIX you.

Would supplementing niacin not encourage tryptophan to convert via the kynurenine pathway due to freeing it up? Niacin Boosting NAD is all well and good but at the expense of quinolinic acid? I may be confused
Wow. I need help with my wife. Her anxiety is so high. Very sensitive with touch. Where do we start. I know that is not her. I am willing to do the deep dive.
@Dave Fenzel I'd say, try and set up a consultation with Elliot (or another practitioner that has similar knowledge). I have chronic health issues and you go round and round in circles trying to find answers yourself. Working with a very knowledgeable practitioner is the way forward imo. There's just so much info out there (a lot contractionary), it's just to overwhelming to know where to start. Also, look into polyvagal/nervous system/trauma informed practitioners, because the anxiety may not just be of a physical origin. Best of luck my friend.
Look into RSO Rick Simpson oil. A highly effective method of pain/ anxiety. U need a wee bit. Do ur research. I spent thousands on cannabis strains and products. Nothing truly worked. But this rso is amazing. Best of luck.

haha! No, it is already recorded but not edited. It will be 2-3 days. FWIW The adrenal fatigue video actually led me down so many different rabbit holes that I did not yet feel qualified to discuss the underlying drivers in as much detail as I like to go into. This video, in many respects, is a follow up to that video. That said, I do plan on doing a second installment on that topic, focusing more on the endocrine effects of neuroinflammation.
