 Introduction
Gut, brain, and autoimmune diseases are becoming increasingly common in our modern world, affecting millions
of people worldwide. These can be caused by a variety of factors, but generally, they are caused by poor diet,
stress, and environmental toxins.

In the United States alone, approximately 50 million Americans are living with autoimmune diseases according
to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). This includes conditions such as but not
limited to rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.

While conventional medicine can help manage symptoms, many people are turning to natural remedies, since
these target a disease’s root cause and offer a more holistic approach to healing.

As an example, underlying imbalances in the human body are one of the many triggers for autoimmune diseases.
Notably, these imbalances or deficiencies cannot be addressed by merely taking a single pharmaceutical pill – it
would take a more thorough investigation of our body and changes in lifestyle.

In this ebook, we will explore some of the top natural medicines used in core healing, including top natural
medicines, herbs, supplements, and dietary changes which are proven to reverse gut, brain, and autoimmune
diseases.

To start, we need to first understand what poor gut health and gut disorders refer to, including their causes,
symptoms, impact on our whole body, a list of common gut disorders, and top expert-recommended natural
treatments and approaches to reverse gut disease and restore your gut health.

Next, we will understand the concept of brain disease and neurodegeneration, including its common causes,
the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and natural medicines and supplements that are proven to
improve your mindset and heal from depression and anxiety.

Among others, this section will also reveal the common causes of neurodegenerative diseases, the foods that our
brain needs, and how to detoxify our brains from toxins. Dr. Paul Barattiero will share his expertise in this section
on how we can lower the body’s oxidative stress.

Lastly, this ebook will reveal how we can prevent and reverse autoimmune diseases, including their root causes,
and how we can reverse this condition by using natural and holistic medicines which are proven to reduce
inflammation and heal the body.

This section will also list the ten (10) supplements that you should take to support the body’s natural detoxification
process.

 Addressing Poor Gut Health
and Gut Disorders

Poor gut health refers to a condition in which the digestive system is not functioning properly, leading to a
variety of uncomfortable and potentially serious symptoms. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as an
imbalanced gut microbiome, a diet high in processed foods and low in fiber, chronic stress, certain medications,
and underlying medical conditions.

Symptoms of poor gut health can include digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal
pain, as well as other symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, skin problems, and weakened immune function.
Over time, poor gut health can lead to more serious conditions such as leaky gut syndrome, inflammatory bowel
disease, and even cancer.

Improving gut health involves making lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy, balanced diet rich in fiber and
probiotic-rich foods, managing stress, getting regular exercise, and avoiding certain medications and toxins. In
some cases, supplements or medications may also be recommended to help improve gut health.

In this section, we’ll be discussing the impact of an unhealthy diet on your entire body, common gut disorders as
well as natural medicines and approaches you can use to repair your gut.

2
 The Impact That Gut Diseases Have on Your Whole Body
Gut diseases can have far-reaching effects on
your overall health and well-being. Here are a
few reasons why gut diseases are bad for your
whole body:

Inflammation
Gut diseases such as inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS) can cause chronic inflammation in the gut.
This inflammation can lead to damage to the
gut lining, and can also contribute to systemic
inflammation throughout the body. Systemic
inflammation has been linked to a wide range
of chronic health conditions, including heart
disease, diabetes, and cancer.1

Nutrient Deficiencies
When the gut is inflamed or damaged, it can impact the body’s ability to absorb and utilize nutrients from food.
This can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which can have a wide range of negative health effects. For example, vitamin
D deficiency, which is common in individuals with gut diseases, has been linked to increased risk of autoimmune
diseases, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.2

Immune System Dysfunction

The gut is home to a large portion of the body’s immune system. When the gut is inflamed or damaged, it can
disrupt the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the gut, leading to immune system dysfunction. This can
contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases and other chronic health conditions.3

Mental Health
The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain. Disruptions in gut
health have been linked to a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and autism
spectrum disorder.4

3
 Common Gut Disorders

There are several common gut disorders that affect many people. Some of the most common ones include:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): A chronic condition characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, constipation,
and/or diarrhea.
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): A group of conditions, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis,
that cause chronic inflammation in the digestive tract.
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): A condition where stomach acid backs up into the esophagus,
causing heartburn and other symptoms.
• Celiac disease: An autoimmune disorder where the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley,
and rye, causing damage to the small intestine.
• Diverticulitis: An inflammation or infection of small pouches in the colon.
• Peptic ulcers: Open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or small intestine due to an imbalance
of digestive juices and acid.
• Constipation: Difficulty passing stool or infrequent bowel movements.
• Diarrhea: Loose, watery stools that occur more frequently than usual.
• Hemorrhoids: Swollen and inflamed veins in the anus and lower rectum.
• Gastroparesis: A condition where the stomach is slow to empty, causing nausea, vomiting, and other
symptoms.

4
 Natural Medicines to Reverse Gut Diseases

Natural medicines can help improve gut health and alleviate symptoms of gut diseases in several ways:

Anti-inflammatory properties: Many natural medicines, such as turmeric, ginger, and omega-3 fatty acids, have
anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the gut. Chronic inflammation is a common
feature of many gut diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Promote gut motility: Natural medicines such as fiber and probiotics can help promote gut motility, which is the
movement of food through the digestive system. This can help alleviate symptoms of constipation, diarrhea, and
other digestive issues.

Restore gut microbiome balance: The gut microbiome is the collection of microorganisms that live in the gut and
play a vital role in digestive and immune health. Natural medicines such as probiotics, prebiotics, and fermented
foods can help restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which may be disrupted in gut diseases.

Support gut lining: The lining of the gut can become damaged in gut diseases, leading to increased intestinal
permeability and the potential for harmful substances to enter the bloodstream. Natural medicines such as
glutamine can help support the gut lining and reduce intestinal permeability.

5
 Top Expert-Recommended Natural Treatments &
Approaches to Reverse Gut Diseases and Restore Gut Health

Probiotics
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are beneficial for gut health. They can be found in fermented foods
such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi, or in supplement form.

Probiotics can help restore the natural balance of bacteria in the gut, which can improve digestion and reduce
inflammation.

Prebiotics
Prebiotics are a type of fiber that feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut. They can be found in foods such as garlic,
onions, bananas, and asparagus. Consuming prebiotic-rich foods can help promote the growth of healthy gut
bacteria and improve gut health.

Fiber-rich foods
Fiber is important for gut health as it helps keep the digestive system moving smoothly and promotes the growth
of beneficial bacteria. Foods rich in fiber include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

Digestive enzymes
Digestive enzymes are proteins that help to break down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the
body. They are produced by various organs in the body, including the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. The
digestive enzymes that are commonly recommended for gut health include:

Proteases: These enzymes help break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, which can be easily
absorbed by the body.

Lipases: These enzymes help break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol, which can be absorbed by the body
and used for energy.

Amylases: These enzymes help break down carbohydrates into simple sugars, which can be absorbed by the body
and used for energy.

Cellulases: These enzymes help break down cellulose, a type of fiber found in fruits and vegetables, which can be
difficult to digest.

Lactase: This enzyme helps break down lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, which can be difficult to digest
for some people who are lactose intolerant.

6
Fermented foods
Fermented foods are foods that have been preserved using a process called lacto-fermentation, which involves
the growth of beneficial bacteria that convert sugars into lactic acid. Fermented foods are rich in probiotics, which
are beneficial bacteria that can help improve gut health. Some benefits of fermented foods for gut health include:

Increased beneficial bacteria: Fermented foods contain high levels of beneficial bacteria, which can help increase
the diversity of bacteria in the gut and promote a healthy microbiome.

Improved digestion: Fermented foods contain enzymes that can help break down food and improve digestion.
They can also help improve the absorption of nutrients from food.

Reduced inflammation: Fermented foods contain compounds that can help reduce inflammation in the gut.
Chronic inflammation is a common feature of many gut diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Enhanced immune function: The gut microbiome plays a vital role in immune function. Fermented foods can help
promote a healthy microbiome, which in turn can help enhance immune function and protect against infections.

Improved mental health: There is emerging evidence that the gut microbiome plays a role in mental health.
Fermented foods may help improve mental health by promoting a healthy microbiome and reducing inflammation
in the gut.

Examples of fermented foods include kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, and kombucha. Adding fermented
foods to your diet can be a tasty and easy way to improve gut health.

7
 Herbs, Nutrients, and Natural Medicines for Gut Diseases
There are several herbs and nutrients that may help restore gut health and alleviate symptoms of gut diseases.
Here are a few examples:

Slippery Elm
Slippery elm is an herb that has been traditionally used to soothe the
digestive tract. It contains compounds that can help reduce inflammation
in the gut and support the growth of beneficial bacteria. Slippery elm is
often used to treat conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Licorice Root
Licorice root is an herb that has been traditionally used to treat digestive
issues. It contains compounds that can help reduce inflammation in the gut
and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Licorice root is often used
to treat conditions such as ulcers and reflux.

L-Glutamine
L-glutamine is an amino acid that is important for gut health. It is used by
the cells in the gut lining to repair and regenerate. L-glutamine may help
improve gut permeability and reduce inflammation in the gut. It is often
used to treat conditions such as leaky gut syndrome and inflammatory
bowel disease.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that are important for gut health.
They can help reduce inflammation in the gut and promote the growth of
beneficial bacteria. Omega-3 fatty acids are often used to treat conditions
such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

8
 Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an important nutrient for gut health. It can help reduce
inflammation in the gut and support the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Vitamin D deficiency is common in individuals with gut diseases such as
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Aloe vera
Aloe vera has been used traditionally for a variety of health conditions,
including gut diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Here are some benefits of aloe vera for gut
health:

Anti-inflammatory: Aloe vera contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that may help to reduce
inflammation in the gut, which is a key factor in the development of IBD and IBS.

Gut healing: Aloe vera contains compounds that may help to promote gut healing, such as polysaccharides and
anthraquinones.

Immune modulation: Aloe vera may help to modulate the immune system, which is important in the development
and progression of gut diseases.

Constipation relief: Aloe vera may have a laxative effect, which may help to relieve constipation associated with
IBS.

9
 Other Factors that Help Improve Gut Health
The Importance of Stress management

Stress can have a negative impact on gut health, as it can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the gut.
Engaging in stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing can help promote gut health.

How Stress Damages Your Gut

Stress can have a negative impact on gut health in several ways. Here are a few examples:

1. Alteration of Gut Microbiota: Stress can alter the composition and function of the gut microbiota, which can
have negative effects on gut health. Stress can lead to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, and a reduction
of beneficial bacteria, which can impact digestive function and increase the risk of gut inflammation and
disease.5
2. Increased Permeability of the Intestinal Barrier: Chronic stress can lead to increased intestinal permeability,
or “leaky gut.” This occurs when the tight junctions between the cells lining the intestinal wall become
damaged or compromised, allowing harmful substances such as bacteria, toxins, and undigested food
particles to leak into the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and contribute to the development of
gut disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).6

10
 3. Alteration of Gut Motility: Stress can also impact the movement of food through the digestive system,
which can lead to digestive symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Chronic stress can cause
a delay in gut transit time, leading to constipation, or can cause increased motility, leading to diarrhea.
4. Immune System Dysfunction: Stress can also have negative effects on immune function, which can impact
gut health. Chronic stress can suppress the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infection
and inflammation.

How to Get Your Stress Under Control

Chronic stress can have negative effects on both physical and mental health. Here are 10 ways to reduce chronic
stress:

Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help to reduce stress by releasing endorphins, improving mood, and
reducing muscle tension.

Practice mindfulness meditation: Mindfulness meditation has been shown to reduce stress and improve overall
well-being.

Get enough sleep: Sleep plays an important role in managing stress. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Eat a healthy diet: A healthy diet can help to support overall health and reduce stress.

Spend time in nature: Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood.

Connect with others: Social support can help to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Practice relaxation techniques: Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and
visualization can help to reduce stress.

Set boundaries: Setting clear boundaries and learning to say no can help to reduce stress by reducing feelings of
overwhelm and burnout.

Practice self-care: Taking time for self-care activities such as reading, taking a bath, or practicing a hobby can help
to reduce stress and improve mood.

Seek professional support: If chronic stress is impacting your quality of life, it may be helpful to seek support from
a mental health professional.

It is important to note that everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. It may
take some trial and error to find the stress reduction strategies that work best for you.

11
Using the Elimination Diet to Remove Foods that Irritate Your Gut

An elimination diet is an approach that involves removing certain foods from your diet for a period of time to help
identify food sensitivities or allergies. Here are the steps to follow when using the elimination diet:

Determine the foods to eliminate

The first step is to determine which foods to eliminate. Common foods that are eliminated on the elimination diet
include gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, and nuts. You may also want to consider eliminating processed foods and
food additives.

Plan your meals

Once you have determined which foods to eliminate, it is important to plan your meals carefully to ensure that you
are still getting all the necessary nutrients. Focus on eating whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein,
and healthy fats. You may also want to consider working with a registered dietitian to develop a meal plan that
meets your specific needs.

Eliminate the foods

Eliminate the identified foods from your diet for at least 2-3 weeks. It is important to read labels carefully and
avoid any foods that contain these eliminated foods.

Slowly Start to Reintroduce the foods

After the elimination period, slowly reintroduce one eliminated food at a time, ideally with the guidance of a
healthcare professional or registered dietitian. Pay attention to any symptoms that may arise. If symptoms occur,
it may indicate a sensitivity or allergy to the food.

Evaluate the results

Once you have completed the reintroduction phase, evaluate the results. If you experienced symptoms when
reintroducing a specific food, it may be a sign of a sensitivity or allergy. You may want to consider avoiding that
food in the future or further testing with a healthcare professional.

 Reversing Brain Disease &
Neurodegeneration
Addressing Mental Health Illnesses & Mood Disorders
Mental health is a multidimensional concept that goes beyond the mere absence of mental illness. It also involves
possessing a well-adjusted personality that can effectively contribute to the community.

Key characteristics of good mental health include the ability to take responsibility for one’s actions, flexibility, high
frustration tolerance, acceptance of uncertainty, engagement in social activities, courage to take risks, serenity to
accept things that cannot be changed, and wisdom to discern between what can and cannot be changed.

Additionally, mental health encompasses accepting handicaps, practicing self-control, fostering harmonious
relationships with oneself, others, and nature, and acknowledging the divine. The goal of mental health is to attain
a sense of completeness and fulfillment, even in old age.

This section will explore principles for achieving good mental health, which can help to reverse depression and
anxiety, as well as maintain and regenerate brain function.

Common Causes of Mental Illness

Mental health struggles can be caused by various factors, which may differ for each individual. Some potential
causes include:

1. Genetics: Some mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia,
may have a genetic component. People with a family history of these conditions may be more likely to
develop them themselves. It often happens
2. Trauma and life experiences: Traumatic events, such as abuse, neglect, or the loss of a loved one, can have
a significant impact on mental health. Stressful life experiences, such as financial difficulties, relationship
problems, and job loss, can also contribute to mental health struggles.
3. Environmental factors: Exposure to toxins, pollutants, and other environmental factors can impact mental
health. For example, research has shown that air pollution may increase the risk of depression and anxiety.
4. Brain chemistry and structure: Imbalances in brain chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine,
can contribute to mental health struggles. Structural abnormalities in the brain, such as those seen in
schizophrenia, can also affect mental health.
5. Substance use: Substance use, such as alcohol or drugs, can contribute to mental health struggles, both as
a cause and a result of mental health conditions.

13
The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) refer to potentially traumatic
events that can occur during childhood and have a negative impact
on a person’s physical and mental health outcomes later in life.

These experiences can include abuse (physical, emotional, or

sexual), neglect (physical or emotional), household dysfunction
(such as witnessing domestic violence, substance abuse, mental
illness, or parental separation or divorce), and other stressful or
traumatic events.

Research has shown that exposure to ACEs can lead to a wide

range of negative outcomes in adulthood, including increased risk
of chronic health conditions, mental health disorders, substance
abuse, and social and economic problems.

However, it’s important to note that not all individuals who experience ACEs will necessarily experience negative
outcomes, and many factors can influence how individuals cope and thrive despite adversity.

Addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) requires a comprehensive approach that includes prevention,
early intervention, and ongoing support for individuals who have experienced ACEs.

Here are some strategies that can be effective in addressing ACEs:

1. Seek professional help: Talking with a therapist or counselor can help you work through the emotional
pain and trauma caused by ACEs. They can provide you with coping skills and strategies to help you manage
the effects of ACEs.
2. Build a strong support system: Surround yourself with people who are supportive and understanding. This
can include family, friends, and support groups.
3. Practice self-care: Engage in activities that help you relax and reduce stress, such as exercise, meditation,
or yoga. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, and take care of your physical health.
4. Learn about the effects of ACEs: Understanding how ACEs can impact your life can help you feel more in
control and empowered to make positive changes.

Remember, dealing with ACEs can be a lifelong journey, but with the right support and resources, you can heal
and build a better future for yourself.

14
Natural Medicines and Supplements to Improve Your Mindset and Heal from
Depression & Anxiety
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have several mental health benefits, inlcuding:

Reducing symptoms of depression: Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce symptoms of
depression, particularly in people who have not responded well to antidepressant medication.

Reducing anxiety: Studies have found that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, such as
nervousness and restlessness.

Improving mood: Omega-3 fatty acids may help improve mood in people with bipolar disorder.
Improving cognitive function: Omega-3 fatty acids are important for brain health and may help improve cognitive
function, particularly in older adults.

Preventing and treating ADHD: Some studies have suggested that omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in preventing
and treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

St. John’s wort

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a popular herbal remedy that has been used for centuries to treat
various ailments, including mental health conditions. Here are the benefits of St. John’s wort for mental health:

Depression: St. John’s wort has been studied for its effectiveness in treating mild to moderate depression. Some
studies have found that it may be as effective as antidepressant medication for these types of depression.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): St. John’s wort may also be beneficial for people with SAD, a type of depression
that occurs during the winter months. One study found that St. John’s wort was effective in reducing symptoms
of SAD compared to a placebo.

Sleep: St. John’s wort has been used as a sleep aid in some cultures. While research is limited, some studies have
suggested that it may improve sleep quality and help with insomnia.

SAMe
SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) is a naturally occurring compound found in the body that is involved in various
biochemical processes, including the production of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine.

Due to its role in neurotransmitter function, SAMe has been studied as a treatment for several mental health
conditions, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

15
Research has suggested that SAMe may be effective in treating depression, particularly in individuals who do not
respond well to traditional antidepressant medications. Some studies have also shown that SAMe may improve
symptoms of anxiety and bipolar disorder.

Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a herb commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine, which is a traditional system
of medicine originating from India. It has been studied for its mental health benefits in improving mental health,
including anxiety, depression, and stress.

Research has suggested that ashwagandha may help to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It is thought
to work by modulating levels of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which is
involved in regulating anxiety and mood. Some studies have also suggested that ashwagandha may improve stress
resilience and reduce cortisol levels, which is a hormone associated with stress.

Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved in various physiological processes in the body, including muscle
and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and bone health. Magnesium has also been studied for its potential
benefits in improving mental health.

Research has suggested that magnesium may help to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It is thought
to work by modulating levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin and dopamine, which are
involved in regulating mood. Some studies have also suggested that magnesium may improve sleep quality,
which is important for overall mental health and well-being. Magnesium may also have potential benefits for
individuals with certain mental health conditions, such as migraines and fibromyalgia, which have been linked to
low magnesium levels.

Rhodiola
Rhodiola, also known as Rhodiola rosea, is an herb that has been traditionally used in Russia and Scandinavia for
centuries to enhance physical and mental performance, reduce fatigue, and improve mood. In recent years, it has
gained popularity as a natural remedy for mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Studies have shown promising results. For example, a 2015 study published in the journal Phytomedicine found
that Rhodiola extract was effective in reducing symptoms of mild to moderate depression in adults after 12 weeks
of treatment. Another study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology in 2017 found that Rhodiola
improved symptoms of anxiety and stress in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder.

Rhodiola is believed to work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin
and dopamine, which are involved in regulating mood, anxiety, and stress. It is also believed to have antioxidant
and anti-inflammatory effects that may help protect the brain from damage and reduce inflammation associated
with depression and anxiety.

16
The Role of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Healing
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that
has been proven effective in treating depression and anxiety. CBT
focuses on identifying negative or irrational thoughts and beliefs
and replacing them with more positive and realistic ones.

Here are some examples of CBT techniques that can be helpful in

treating depression and anxiety:

Identifying negative thinking patterns

CBT helps individuals identify negative thinking patterns, such as
all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, and overgeneralization.
Once these patterns are identified, they can be challenged and
replaced with more positive and realistic thoughts.

Behavior activation
CBT encourages individuals to engage in activities that they enjoy and find meaningful, even if they do not feel like
it. This can help to increase feelings of pleasure and reduce symptoms of depression.

Exposure therapy
For anxiety disorders, exposure therapy is often used to help individuals confront their fears and overcome them.
This involves gradually exposing individuals to situations or stimuli that trigger their anxiety in a safe and controlled
environment.

Mindfulness meditation
Mindfulness meditation is a technique that involves focusing on the present moment and accepting one’s thoughts
and feelings without judgment. It can be helpful in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression by promoting
relaxation and improving mood.

Relaxation techniques
CBT often includes relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and
visualization. These techniques can help individuals to reduce muscle tension and stress, which can contribute to
symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Overall, CBT is a highly effective treatment for depression and anxiety that can help individuals to change negative
thinking patterns, improve mood, and reduce symptoms of anxiety. It is often recommended as a first-line
treatment for these conditions.

which can help reduce feelings of loneliness and improve mental health.
7. Pursue hobbies or interests: Engaging in activities that bring joy and satisfaction can improve mood and
promote a sense of accomplishment.

18
The Importance of Doing a Parasite Cleanse
A connection has been found between a prevalent and hard-
to-detect intestinal parasite and a 700% higher likelihood
of attempting suicide. This parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, has
also been linked to various mental health issues, such as
schizophrenia, anxiety, and depression.7 8 9 10 11 12

Alarmingly, this parasite is present in every country, and 60

million Americans over six years old are already infected, with
some countries having up to 90% of their population infected.

Even more concerning, up to 80% of those infected display no

apparent symptoms and those who do may only experience
mild flu-like symptoms. Toxoplasma gondii forms cysts in the
host’s brain, skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and retina.13 14]

Exposure to feline feces is one of the most common ways of

getting infected, but it is not limited to those who have cats
at home.

The symptoms of parasite infections can vary depending on the type of parasite, the severity of the infection, and
your overall health. Some common symptoms may include:

1. Diarrhea
2. Abdominal pain
3. Nausea and vomiting
4. Fatigue and weakness
5. Weight loss
6. Fever
7. Itching around the anus or genital area
8. Blood in the stool
9. The onset of autoimmune disease
10. Anemia
11. Muscle and joint pain
12. Skin rashes or lesions

19

 Addressing Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders characterized by the progressive loss of neurons in the brain
and nervous system.

While the exact causes of neurodegenerative diseases are not fully understood, there are several common factors
that have been identified as potential contributors to the development of these conditions.

Common Causes of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Here are some of the common causes of neurodegenerative diseases:

1. Genetic factors: Some neurodegenerative diseases are caused by mutations in specific genes. For example,
Huntington’s disease is caused by a mutation in the HTT gene, while familial Alzheimer’s disease is caused
by mutations in the APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 genes.
2. Age: The risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases increases with age, with most cases occurring in
individuals over 65 years old.
3. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental factors, such as toxins, viruses, and bacteria,
may increase the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases.
4. Inflammation: Chronic inflammation in the brain and nervous system may contribute to the development
of neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Oxidative stress: Oxidative stress, which occurs when the body produces an excess of free radicals that
damage cells and tissues, may play a role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
6. Protein misfolding: Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the accumulation of misfolded
proteins in the brain and nervous system, which can lead to neuronal damage and death.
7. Mitochondrial dysfunction: Mitochondrial dysfunction, which can result in decreased energy production
and increased production of reactive oxygen species, has been implicated in the development of
neurodegenerative diseases.

While these factors are not exclusive, they can all contribute to the development and progression of
neurodegenerative diseases.

Understanding the causes of these conditions is an important step in developing effective treatments and
preventive strategies.

21
Foods That Feed Your Brain

Eating a well-balanced diet that includes foods rich in essential nutrients can help support brain health. Here are
some examples of foods that can support brain health:

1. Omega-3 fatty acids: Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids are important for brain function and can help
improve memory and mood.
2. Nuts and seeds: These are good sources of vitamin E, which can help protect the brain from oxidative
stress. Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are all great options.
3. Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries are rich in antioxidants that can help protect the brain
from oxidative stress and inflammation.
4. Leafy greens: Vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli are packed with vitamins and minerals that are
important for brain health, including vitamin K, folate, and beta-carotene.
5. Whole grains: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat bread provide glucose, which is the
primary source of energy for the brain.
6. Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which have been shown to improve blood flow to the
brain and can help improve cognitive function.
7. Avocados: Avocados are rich in healthy fats that can improve blood flow to the brain and support brain
function.

22
Detoxing Your Brain and Body from Toxins

There are several supplements that may help support heavy metal detoxification in the body, including the brain.
Here are some examples:

1. Chlorella: Chlorella is a type of green algae that can help bind to heavy metals in the body and aid in their
elimination. It is also rich in antioxidants that can help protect the brain from oxidative stress.
2. Spirulina: Spirulina is another type of algae that can help bind to heavy metals and support their elimination
from the body. It is also high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that may benefit brain
health.
3. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC): NAC is an amino acid that can help support glutathione production in the body.
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the brain from oxidative stress and aid in heavy
metal detoxification.
4. Curcumin: Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric, a spice that has been used for centuries for
its medicinal properties. Curcumin has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and may help
support heavy metal detoxification.
5. Milk Thistle: Milk thistle is an herb that has been used for centuries to support liver function and aid in
detoxification. It contains a compound called silymarin, which has been shown to help protect the brain
from oxidative stress and aid in heavy metal detoxification.

23
How to Lower Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is a state of imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s
ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. Over time, oxidative stress can contribute to cellular damage and the
development of various diseases. Here are some natural ways to combat oxidative stress:

1. Antioxidant-rich Foods: Foods that are high in antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and reduce
oxidative stress. Examples include berries, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and nuts.
2. Exercise: Regular exercise has been shown to increase the production of antioxidant enzymes and reduce
oxidative stress. A study published in Free Radical Biology & Medicine found that moderate exercise can
improve antioxidant defenses and reduce oxidative stress in healthy adults 24.
3. Meditation: Mindfulness-based practices like meditation and yoga can help reduce oxidative stress by
reducing stress levels and improving the body’s ability to manage oxidative stress. A study published in
Psychoneuroendocrinology found that mindfulness meditation can increase antioxidant capacity and
reduce oxidative stress 25.
4. Sleep: Getting adequate sleep is essential for the body to repair and regenerate, including repairing
oxidative damage. A study published in Redox Report found that sleep deprivation can increase oxidative
stress and decrease antioxidant capacity26.
5. Natural Medicines: Certain herbs and supplements, such as curcumin, resveratrol, and glutathione, have
antioxidant properties and can help reduce oxidative stress. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal
Food found that curcumin supplementation can increase antioxidant enzymes and decrease oxidative
stress in healthy adults27.

Overall, adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management techniques,
and adequate sleep can help combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

An Expert’s Insight - Dr. Paul Barattiero
Hydrogen’s primary role is to reduce oxidation or to keep oxidation in a normal range. And so, this is one of the things
that hydrogen does. So, when you don’t have hydrogen, you’re going to have oxidative stress and inflammation,
and lower immune function. When your gut is dysfunctioning, it’s estimated 70% of immune function is tied to
the bacteria in your gut or gut health. Hydrogen can increase all of that for you, increase immune function.

The water machine that I developed not only dissolves hydrogen gas, but also changes the electrical potential in
the water to a negative 300 millivolts, to negative 400 millivolts of electrical potential. That selectively stimulates
anaerobic microflora by changing the terrain and the biome in the gut itself. If we go back to 1965 when electrolysis-
treated water was made a medical device in Japan, it was because they said it cured improper fermentation in the
gut. If we go back to 1965, that’s really where this work was started after a 15-year human trial in Japan.

Today we know the hydrogen gas will reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, cytokine storms which is definitely
one of the things with long-tail COVID or any of the others, is the inflammation in the body.

When we’re talking about what causes organs, what causes systems to not function properly, it is oxidative stress
and inflammation. Primarily that is what hydrogen does. It reduces oxidative stress and inflammation so you don’t
have the damage that you would be talking about. Then, when we talk about the electrical potential, fixing the
gut, now your immune system is increased and your ability to handle an attack or not be as susceptible to invasion
is highly heightened, so that’s where the water will help you.

Now, hydrogen will also, from a signal modulation perspective, increase cognitive function, so people don’t have
that fuzzy mind or they don’t have that lack of cognitive function.

Jonathan Otto: Studies have been done on neurodegenerative disease with hydrogen and water, correct?

Dr. Paul Barattiero: Yeah, over 50. Whether it’s bipolar, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s especially. You talked about
from a claim perspective in the Parkinson’s study, it says, “Hydrogen water had disease-modifying effects in
Parkinson’s disease.” So this is huge. Also, Alzheimer’s.

All these type of things are tied back to a lack of ghrelin secretions. That’s a master hormone that should be
secreted from the gut or the stomach when hydrogen is present. So, when drinking the water with hydrogen
within 5five minutes, you’ll have ghrelin secretions go to the hippocampus, the hypothalamus and the brainstem
to change cognitive function. So any neuroprotective effect, that’s what hydrogen’s going to do as well as high
neuroprotective effect.

If there is that fogginess in the brain, you’re going to be sharp when you have the hydrogen. We’ve done EEG.
Within 5five minutes, you have 32% plasticity change, 58% normalization of the brain. So it’s very rapid that it’s
changing and balancing the brain. But this is just some of the things that hydrogen does.

25
When we look at ghrelin secretions, when we look at the gut, when we look at every aspect of the body, heart,
that’s a big thing that people are talking about with the spike proteins and having cardiovascular issues or heart
issues.

Within a very short time of drinking the water with hydrogen, you’ll have differences in the plasticity of the veins.
You’ll have heart being changed. We have so many people that are drinking the water that are saying, “My blood
tests are coming back and I’m normal when I was Stage 3 renal issues. And now I’ve been drinking it for 60 days
and my blood is perfect. My cardiologist is telling me, ‘Your issues are gone.’”

Probably our most dramatic story when it comes to heart is a 74-year-old gentleman who had had 34 bypass
surgeries and has never had one since he started drinking the water. The cardiologist told him, “Your veins and
vessels are improving. You’ll never need another surgery in your life if you keep doing this.” So that’s huge.

You start looking at what’s going on. Well, at the end of the day, you were supposed to have hydrogen in the body.
It’s critical to the function of the body. If you don’t have hydrogen, then you’re going to have system failure. If
we have hydrogen in the body and we put it back in and enable the body to make it, then you will have proper
functioning life for body. And so, Tthat’s the issue.

Now, with the studies we talked about with COVID, China used hydrogen gas as treatment in China for COVID and
SARS, bird flu. You have multiple studies on several diseases over the years that hydrogen was beneficial.

Jonathan Otto: Hydrogen gas in the water?

Dr. Paul Barattiero: Hydrogen gas in water and also some people were breathing hydrogen gas. But as long as you
get hydrogen gas into the body, then you help with inflammation or what’s called cytokine storms. You also help
with systemic inflammation, all that, all throughout the body.

Jonathan Otto: Wow. So, people that are trying to ward off any kind of ailment, symptom, disease this could be
helpful for them. Is that right?

Dr. Paul Barattiero: Yes. It’s because your body’s natural response is producing hydrogen so you’re lowering
oxidation. So you keep it in a normal range. If you don’t have hydrogen production, A, you’re not going to have
hydrochloric acid either.

I mean, if we really look at the body and we try to figure out,... The body is carbon-hydrogen chains. So, it is critical
to life that you have hydrogen, and even stuff like HCL, stomach acid, is hydrogen. So without hydrogen you’ll have
acid reflex. You’ll have issues in your stomach because you can’t produce stomach acid without hydrogen.

It’s very simple, but hydrogen is necessary to life and the function of the human body. Because, again, because
of gut damage, we’re not able to produce hydrogen, so we’re giving you hydrogen immediately and then we’re
restoring the body’s ability to produce hydrogen on its own.

26
 Preventing and Reversing
Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and
tissues in the body as if they were foreign invaders.

Normally, the immune system works to protect the body from harmful pathogens like bacteria and viruses. But in
autoimmune disease, the immune system cannot distinguish between foreign invaders and the body’s own cells
and tissues.

As a result, the immune system may attack various organs and tissues, causing inflammation and damage. There
are more than 80 different types of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis,
type 1 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Symptoms of autoimmune disease can vary depending on the specific condition but may include fatigue, joint
pain, fever, skin rashes, and digestive problems.

The western medicine system tries to mask the symptoms of autoimmune diseases using medications to suppress
the immune system, relieve symptoms, and reduce inflammation.

The most common cause of autoimmunity is underlying infections or toxins being accumulated in the body. These
are what we call the root causes.

The Root Causes of Autoimmune Diseases

Environmental Toxins
Exposure to environmental toxins, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents, has been linked to the
development of autoimmune diseases.

Heavy Metals
Heavy metals are elements with high atomic weights that can accumulate in the body and disrupt various
physiological processes, leading to a variety of adverse health effects. Chronic exposure to heavy metals such as
lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and nickel has been associated with numerous diseases, including autoimmunity.

The exact mechanisms by which heavy metals cause autoimmunity are not yet fully understood.

27
However, it is thought that heavy metals can induce oxidative stress and damage to cells, leading to the release of
self-antigens and the activation of the immune system.

Additionally, heavy metals may interfere with the normal functioning of immune cells, such as T cells and B cells,
which can lead to aberrant immune responses and the development of autoimmunity.

Pesticide Exposure
Pesticides are chemicals used to control pests and increase crop yield. However, exposure to pesticides has been
linked to numerous adverse health effects, including autoimmune diseases.

Several studies have suggested a link between pesticide exposure and the development of autoimmune diseases.

For example, a study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives in 2014 found that individuals
exposed to the herbicide paraquat had a higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis and lupus.

Another study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2020 found
that exposure to organophosphate pesticides was associated with an increased risk of autoimmune thyroid
disease.

Pesticides cause diseases by disrupting the normal functioning of the immune system by inducing oxidative stress
and inflammation, interfering with hormone signaling, and altering the gut microbiome.

Mold & Mycotoxin Exposure

Exposure to toxic mold, whether in food or your home, can be harmful to the body. Even an otherwise healthy
body may be able to tolerate exposure to mold until an infection or other trigger weakens the system, and then
the burden of toxic mold may trigger a variety of symptoms.

Mold can grow on various surfaces such as carpets, clothing, food, paper, and the back of drywall in your home.
To prevent mold growth, it is essential to control moisture levels. The first step is to buy a dehumidifier and keep
humidity levels between 30 and 60 percent, which can be measured using a moisture meter from a hardware
store.

Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent moisture buildup, and it’s advisable to install mold-resistant products in
areas that tend to collect moisture. Bathrooms should have adequate ventilation to prevent steam buildup, and
any wet areas should be cleaned up immediately to avoid prolonged moisture exposure. Wet clothes should not
be left sitting in the washing machine, where mold can grow.

If mold removal or repair is necessary, it’s essential to replace the drywall with mold-resistant drywall to prevent
future mold growth.

28
Water must not flow toward your home, and creating barriers and slopes around the perimeter can prevent water
from puddling against the house. Clean and repair roof gutters, and if they are not present, have them installed.

Household plants can also contribute to mold growth since the moisture in the soil is an ideal breeding ground for
mold. Adding Taheebo tea to the water when watering plants can help reduce mold growth.

EMF Exposure
EMF (electromagnetic fields) are a type of radiation that is emitted from electronic devices such as cell phones,
Wi-Fi routers, and power lines. While there is still much debate in the scientific community about the potential
health risks of EMF exposure.

Some studies suggest that prolonged exposure to high levels of EMF radiation may pose a health risk. Some of the
dangers associated with EMF exposure include:

1. Increased cancer risk: Some studies have suggested that EMF radiation may be linked to an increased risk
of certain types of cancer, such as leukemia and brain tumors.
2. Impaired immune system: Exposure to EMF radiation may also have an impact on the immune system,
potentially weakening its ability to fight off infections and illnesses.
3. Sleep disturbances: Exposure to EMF radiation can interfere with the body’s natural sleep patterns, leading
to insomnia and other sleep disturbances.
4. Fertility issues: EMF radiation may also have an impact on fertility in both men and women, potentially
reducing sperm count and decreasing the chances of conception.

To reduce EMF exposure, it’s recommended to limit the use of electronic devices, especially those with high levels
of EMF radiation, such as cell phones, and to use EMF-blocking devices. It’s also advisable to keep electronic
devices away from the body, especially when sleeping, and to turn off Wi-Fi routers and electronic devices when
not in use.

GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are food products that have been modified to contain more or fewer
genes than are naturally present in their DNA. The most common GMO foods have been engineered to withstand
heavy exposure to toxic pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

There is concern over the safety of GMOs because they are not regulated by the FDA, and some studies suggest
that they may contain more allergens than their natural counterparts. Additionally, because these plants were
engineered to survive mass exposure to pesticides, the amount of toxins they contain is concerning.

29
The chemicals within these pesticides and herbicides, such as glyphosate, have been linked to liver disease
and birth defects. Glyphosate may kill beneficial gut bacteria and damage human DNA, particularly embryonic,
placental, and umbilical cord cells.

One of the best ways to avoid GMOs and potentially damaging pesticides is to consume organic food.

Here are some potential ways in which GMOs may be linked to disease:

Antibiotic resistance
One concern with GMOs is that they may contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is
because many GMOs are designed to be resistant to certain herbicides or pesticides, which can lead to an overuse
of antibiotics in agriculture, which contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Allergies
Another concern is that genetically modified foods may trigger allergies in some people. This is because genetic
modification can introduce new proteins into the food that were not present before, and these proteins may be
allergenic.

Cancer
Some studies have suggested that GMOs may be linked to an increased risk of cancer. For example, a study in rats
found that rats fed a diet of genetically modified corn developed more tumors than those fed non-GMO corn.

Immune system disorders

Some studies suggest that GMOs may negatively affect the immune system, potentially leading to the development
of autoimmune diseases.

Negatively Impacts the Gut

One way that GMOs may affect the gut microbiome is through the use of glyphosate, a herbicide commonly used
on genetically modified crops. Glyphosate has been shown to have antimicrobial properties, meaning that it can
kill off bacteria.

This can include both harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria that are important for a healthy gut microbiome.
When beneficial gut bacteria are disrupted, it can lead to inflammation and other health issues.

In addition, some studies have suggested that the genetic modifications themselves may have unintended effects
on the gut microbiome.

For example, a study published in the journal Nature found that mice fed a diet of genetically modified corn
experienced changes in their gut microbiome, including a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in
potentially harmful bacteria.

30
Infections
Certain viral and bacterial infections have been associated
with an increased risk of autoimmune diseases, including
Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and hepatitis C.

Infections can have a complex impact on autoimmunity,

and the relationship between the two is not fully
understood. Here are some ways in which infections can
potentially influence the development and progression of
autoimmune diseases:

Molecular mimicry
Some infectious agents contain molecules that resemble self-antigens, which can lead to the production of
autoantibodies and the development of autoimmune responses.

For example, streptococcal infections have been linked to the development of rheumatic fever, which can lead to
heart valve damage due to antibodies mistakenly attacking heart tissue.

Activation of innate immunity

Some infections can trigger an overactive immune response, leading to the release of cytokines and other pro-
inflammatory molecules that can contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases.

For example, infections with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) have been linked to an increased risk of developing
multiple sclerosis (MS).

Modulation of immune function

Some infections may alter the balance of immune cells and cytokines, leading to a shift toward autoimmunity.

For example, some studies have suggested that infections with certain bacteria may trigger the development of
type 1 diabetes by altering the immune response in the pancreas.

Antibody-dependent enhancement
Autoimmune diseases have skyrocketed since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines. This is especially the case
with Pfizer shots. The harmful ingredients in the jab lead to a phenomenon known as ADE (antibody-dependent
enhancement).

This happens when antibodies produced in response to an initial infection actually enhance the replication and/
or severity of subsequent infections with a related pathogen instead of protecting against them.

31
Diet

Diet is an important environmental factor that can affect the immune system. Consuming a diet high in processed
foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats may increase the risk of developing chronic and autoimmune diseases.

An unhealthy diet can lead to chronic diseases in several ways. Here are five of them:

1. Inflammation: An unhealthy diet that is high in processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats can cause chronic
inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to numerous chronic diseases, including
diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
2. Insulin resistance: A diet that is high in processed carbohydrates and sugar can lead to insulin resistance, a
condition in which the body becomes less sensitive to insulin. This can lead to high blood sugar levels and
an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
3. Obesity: An unhealthy diet that is high in calories and low in nutrients can contribute to weight gain and
obesity. Obesity has been linked to numerous chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and some
types of cancer.
4. High blood pressure: An unhealthy diet that is high in sodium and low in potassium can contribute to high
blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
5. Poor gut health: An unhealthy diet that is low in fiber and high in processed foods can disrupt the balance
of bacteria in the gut, leading to poor gut health. Poor gut health has been linked to numerous chronic
diseases, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, and mental health disorders.

32
Stress

Chronic stress can have a negative impact on the immune system and may increase the risk of autoimmune
diseases.

Chronic stress can cause disease in several ways. Here are some of them:

1. Hormonal changes: Chronic stress can cause the release of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline,
which can disrupt the normal functioning of the immune, digestive, and cardiovascular systems. This can
lead to an increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune
disorders.
2. Inflammation: Chronic stress can also cause inflammation in the body. While inflammation is a normal
response to injury or infection, chronic inflammation can contribute to the development of chronic diseases
such as arthritis, cancer, and heart disease.
3. Altered brain structure and function: Chronic stress can alter the structure and function of the brain,
particularly in areas related to memory, mood, and decision-making. This can lead to mental health
disorders such as depression and anxiety, which have also been linked to an increased risk of developing
chronic diseases.
4. Unhealthy behaviors: Chronic stress can also lead to unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, overeating,
and lack of exercise, which can contribute to the development of chronic diseases.

33
Hormonal imbalances

Hormonal imbalances can trigger autoimmune diseases. There are many different types of hormonal imbalances
that can occur in the body. Here are some examples, along with their potential causes:

1. Thyroid Hormone Imbalance: This occurs when the thyroid gland produces too little or too much thyroid
hormone. Symptoms may include weight gain or loss, fatigue, hair loss, and changes in mood.
2. Insulin Imbalance: This occurs when the body is unable to use insulin effectively, which can lead to high
blood sugar levels and type 2 diabetes. Symptoms may include frequent urination, thirst, hunger, and
fatigue.
3. Estrogen/Progesterone Imbalance: This occurs when there is an imbalance between estrogen and
progesterone levels in women. Symptoms may include irregular periods, mood swings, weight gain, and
changes in libido.
4. Testosterone Imbalance: This occurs when there is too little or too much testosterone in men or women.
Symptoms may include low sex drive, fatigue, muscle loss, and mood changes.
5. Cortisol Imbalance: This occurs when the body produces too much or too little cortisol, a hormone involved
in stress response. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, high blood pressure, and anxiety.
6. Adrenal insufficiency: This occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, such as
cortisol and aldosterone. Causes can include autoimmune diseases, infections, and genetic disorders.

34
 Reversing Autoimmunity and Healing Your Body Holistically

Adopt an Anti-inflammatory Diet

Anti-inflammatory foods are those that have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation
has been linked to many diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, so eating an anti-inflammatory
diet can be beneficial for overall health. Here are some examples of anti-inflammatory foods:

Fruits and vegetables

These are rich in antioxidants, which help to reduce inflammation. Some examples include berries, leafy greens,
carrots, and tomatoes.

Here are 10 antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables:

1. Blueberries: Blueberries are high in anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that give the fruit its deep blue
color.
2. Strawberries: Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants that can help protect cells from
damage caused by free radicals.
3. Spinach: Spinach is high in antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene.
4. Kale: Kale is another leafy green vegetable that is high in antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-
carotene.

35
 5. Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that has been shown to have several health
benefits.
6. Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that is converted to vitamin A
in the body.
7. Avocado: Avocado is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free
radicals.
8. Pomegranate: Pomegranate is high in polyphenol antioxidants, which have been shown to have anti-
inflammatory effects.

Detox Your Body Frequently

The body already has built-in detoxification processes, primarily carried out by the liver and kidneys. However,
certain supplements may support these natural processes and help promote overall health.

Here are 10 supplements that may support the body’s natural detoxification processes:

Milk thistle
This herb has been shown to support liver function and may help protect against liver damage.
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a plant native to the Mediterranean region that has been used for its medicinal
properties for thousands of years. The plant’s active ingredient, silymarin, is a flavonoid complex that has
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Milk thistle is most commonly used as a natural remedy for liver conditions such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, and fatty
liver disease. Silymarin has been shown to protect liver cells from damage and improve liver function. It may also
have anti-cancer effects and can help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.

In addition to its liver-protective properties, milk thistle may have other health benefits. It has been found to
have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and potentially lower the risk
of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Milk thistle may also help lower cholesterol levels and
improve insulin sensitivity.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a dietary supplement and pharmaceutical drug that is derived from the amino acid
L-cysteine. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose, bronchitis,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and psychiatric disorders.

NAC works by increasing the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect cells from
damage caused by free radicals. It also helps to break up mucus in the lungs, making it easier to breathe.

41
Curcumin
The active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may help
protect against liver damage.

Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory agent that has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body. Chronic
inflammation is a contributing factor in many chronic diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.

Antioxidant properties: Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by
free radicals.

Dandelion root
Dandelion root has been traditionally used as a natural diuretic and to support liver health, which may make it a
popular choice for detoxifying the body. The liver is the body’s primary detoxification organ, and dandelion root
is believed to support the liver by promoting bile production, which aids in the removal of toxins from the body.

Additionally, dandelion root is a natural diuretic, which means it can help to increase urine output and remove
excess water and waste from the body. This may help to flush out toxins and reduce water retention.

Glutathione
Glutathione is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is considered the
body’s master antioxidant and plays a crucial role in the detoxification process.

Glutathione works by binding to toxins and transforming them into a form that the body can eliminate through
urine or bile. The liver is the body’s primary detoxification organ, and glutathione is essential for liver health and
function. Glutathione supports the liver by neutralizing toxins and protecting liver cells from damage. It also aids
in the breakdown and elimination of drugs and other harmful substances from the body.

Glutathione is naturally produced in the body, but certain factors, such as aging, poor diet, and exposure to toxins,
can deplete levels of this antioxidant. Some people may choose to supplement with glutathione to support the
body’s natural detoxification processes.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in the body’s natural detoxification processes. It
supports the liver by increasing the production of glutathione, a tripeptide that is important for detoxification.
Vitamin C also helps to neutralize toxins and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin C is found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, peppers, broccoli, and
spinach. While it is important to consume a diet rich in vitamin C, some people may choose to supplement with
vitamin C to support their body’s detoxification processes.

42
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It has been
suggested that vitamin E may have a role in supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes by protecting
liver cells from damage and aiding in the breakdown and elimination of toxins.

The liver is the body’s primary detoxification organ, and vitamin E is believed to support liver health and function
by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Some studies have suggested that vitamin E may also help to
prevent liver damage caused by toxins, such as alcohol and chemicals.
Selenium
Selenium is a mineral that is essential for the proper function of many enzymes in the body, including those
involved in detoxification. It works as an antioxidant and helps to neutralize free radicals, which can damage cells
and contribute to the development of chronic diseases.

Selenium is involved in the production of glutathione, a tripeptide that plays a crucial role in the body’s natural
detoxification processes. Glutathione binds to toxins and transforms them into a form that the body can eliminate
through urine or bile. Selenium also helps to protect the liver from damage caused by toxins and supports the
liver’s ability to break down and eliminate toxins.

Chlorella
Chlorella is a type of freshwater algae that is believed to have potential benefits for detoxification. It contains a
range of nutrients, including chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, that may support the body’s natural
detoxification processes.

Chlorella is believed to support the liver by increasing the production of glutathione, a tripeptide that is important
for detoxification. Glutathione binds to toxins and transforms them into a form that the body can eliminate through
urine or bile. Chlorella also contains compounds called CGFs (Chlorella Growth Factors) which are believed to
enhance the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms.

Additionally, Chlorella has been shown to bind to heavy metals and other toxins, such as pesticides and herbicides,
in the digestive tract, preventing them from being absorbed into the body. It is then eliminated through the feces.

Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal has been used as a natural remedy for detoxification for many years. It is a form of carbon
that has been treated with oxygen to make it highly porous, which increases its surface area and ability to absorb
substances.

Activated charcoal is believed to work by binding to toxins and chemicals in the digestive tract, preventing them
from being absorbed into the bloodstream. It can bind to a range of substances, including drugs, alcohol, pesticides,
and heavy metals, making it potentially useful for detoxification.

 Conclusion
Without a doubt, core healing using natural medicines is the best approach to reversing gut, brain, and autoimmune
diseases since this approach address the root cause rather than merely the symptoms of these conditions.

Natural remedies rebalance the gut microbiome, reduce inflammation, and improve immune function, leading to
improved health outcomes and longer and healthier life.

Among many things, we have learned that autoimmune disease originated from environmental toxins, infections,
a poor diet, stress, and hormonal imbalances. However, autoimmune diseases aren’t here to stay. They can be
cured by giving the body what it needs and approaching the healing process holistically.

Some of the top natural medicines used in core healing include herbs such as ginger, turmeric, and licorice root,
as well as supplements like probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D. In addition, dietary changes such as
reducing processed foods, increasing fiber intake, and avoiding food allergens can also be effective in supporting
core healing.

We have also learned that consuming foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, antioxidants, Vitamin K, folate,
beta-carotene, and glucose is important, since these are all essential for the brain to function optimally.

In summary, core healing using natural medicines offers a safe, effective, and sustainable approach to reversing
gut, brain, and autoimmune diseases. By addressing the root cause of these conditions, rather than just treating
symptoms, we can achieve optimal health and wellness, and live our best lives.

 about jonathan otto
Jonathan Otto is an investigative journalist, natural health
researcher, documentary filmmaker, and humanitarian.

In addition to serving as a producer for The Truth

About Cancer and The Truth About Vaccines, Jonathan
has created several highly-acclaimed, groundbreaking
docuseries — Depression, Anxiety & Dementia Secrets,
Autoimmune Secrets, Natural Medicine Secrets,
and Autoimmune Answers — covering innovative,
effective natural remedies for autoimmune disease,
neurodegenerative disease, mental health, cancer, and
heart disease.

These docuseries — watched by millions around the

world — represent Jonathan’s unceasing quest to
discover the root causes of debilitating diseases by
interviewing over 120 world-renowned natural medicine
doctors, scientists, natural health experts, and patients.

In response to this life-saving knowledge, Jonathan created Well of Life, a line of doctor-formulated,
100% natural supplements specially designed to detox and fortify the body.

When the global elite took away the human and medical rights of people around the world — and
coerced billions into taking the toxic, experimental COVID “vaccines” — Jonathan was determined
to get the truth out, despite being repeatedly censored and deplatformed.

He interviewed the world’s top medical doctors, health experts, and legal experts on vaccine
injuries who risked their own careers to expose the lies behind the deadly COVID “vaccines” —
which have caused deaths and injuries to millions of people — to create his newest docuseries,
Vaccine Secrets, COVID Secrets, and Unbreakable: Destined to Thrive.

Jonathan’s greatest reward has been hearing the testimonials from people whose lives have
literally been saved with the protocols he developed.

His work has been featured in international TV broadcasts, print media, national news, and radio
broadcasts. He received the awards, Young Citizen of the Year and International Volunteer of
the Year, by the Australian government for international humanitarian contributions, which he
continues to support.

Jonathan and his wife, Lori, welcomed their first son, Asher, in January 2019 and their second son,
Arthur, in May 2021.
