My initial thoughts to explain your symptoms...Dawn,<br />My initial thoughts to explain your symptoms:<br />Behçet's disease is an autoimmune disease that targets autoantigen annexin 2A ((contains two basic triplets), a calcium binding protein that also binds phospholipids and IP3. Also linked to celiac.<br /><br />A major point here is that celiac leads to lots of other autoimmune diseases and is probably the source of gut damage and immune system damage that causes all of your other problems. It also leads to chronic inflammation, which blocks vitamin D synthesis in the skin and leads to vitamin D deficiency and related diseases.<br /><br />Vitamin D deficiency is not usually fixed with casual supplementation, because it is caused by chronic inflammation.<br /><br />The bottom line is that, if you fix your gut (diet and gut bacteria), you will fix your immune system. If you fix your immune system, you will fix your inflammation. If you fix your inflammation, you will fix your vitamin D deficiency. If you fix these problems, all of your autoimmune symptoms will reverse. If you just treat the symptoms, your diseases will progress.<br /><br />Start with my Anti-Inflammatory Diet and fix your vitamin D and sleep.<br /><br />Probiotics are helpful, but are not enough. All that you need to fix yourself are in my ca. 200 posts. Spend a few hours paging through all of the articles. The remedies are cheap and effective, but they require commitment and due diligence. You must participate in your own health.<br /><br />Reasonable wine consumption is not a problem.<br /><br />Let me know of your progress.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-59264139665820934772015-04-27T16:33:10.193-06:002015-04-27T16:33:10.193-06:00Erosive osteoarthritis in hands please comment.

Frankincense and Myrrh. How festive.
...Hi Claudia,<br />Frankincense and Myrrh. How festive.<br /><br />The active anti-inflammatory chemicals in Boswellia are the large boswellia acids that make frankincense a resin. These are plant chemicals, phytochemical/antioxidants that are natural insecticides, fungicides and antibiotics. The Boswellia essential oils are a different groups of molecules half the size that are steam distilled and have different properties. Like most phytochemicals, the mixture of Boswellia chemicals impact hundreds of human proteins and change the gut flora, i.e. they are just like mixtures of pharmaceuticals with complex benefits and damage. Your liver detox system will gradually eliminate all of the phytochemicals and your gut flora will gradually become resistant.<br /><br />You will be healthier without phytochemicals, but they may be of temporary benefit.<br /><br />Health results from diet, adapted gut flora, sleep and exercise. The body needs protein and fat, and gut bacteria need soluble fiber/prebiotics. That's just the paleo meat, fish, eggs, for protein and fat ; and vegetables for soluble fiber to feed gut flora.<br /><br />Most people forget to feed their gut flora and reintroduce missing bacteria. Remember that low carb diets mean low sugar/starch, but plenty of low glycemic plant polysaccharides to which your gut flora is adapted.<br /><br />Make your own fermented vegetables!<br /><br />Thanks for your questions. I will try to write more on Frankincense and plant resins this week.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-11712109638417525002014-12-09T20:27:47.298-07:002014-12-09T20:27:47.298-07:00Dear Dr. Art

I'll take a look at HSPGs - any 1 paper you strongly reccomend?<br /><br />The GMO topic is so vast that a 'yes' or 'no' position for me is untenable. I would eat some GMO foods, some I wouldn't. It'd also depend in which country I was and on my state of health. Regardless, I believe we should genetically modify organisms to our advantage. Your point about 'oversold organics' is well taken. I do try to eat organic but under no illusions of it being vastly superior. Most for encouraging local farming, non-monocrop practices.<br />The problem with GMOs I am more confident about is the disastrous farming practices that go hand-in-hand with current application of GMO technologies & mono-crop agriculture. Lets put this aside for a moment though.<br /><br />I am not sure if the btToxin-plasmid is transmissible via horizontal gene transfer to our eukaryotic cells. I remain unconvinced by the technical arguments on both sides. However, the general precautionary principle (touted by Nassim Taleb) forces me to acknowledge the following:<br /><br />1) we have recently shown inter-species vector exchanges to occur despite previously thinking this could not happen.<br />2) 'Maternal & fetal exposure to pesticides associated to genetically modified foods in Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada' http://goo.gl/MTzSQf saying "To our knowledge, this is the first study to highlight the presence of pesticides-associated genetically modified foods in maternal, fetal & nonpregnant women's blood. 3-MPPA and Cry1Ab toxin are clearly detectable and appear to cross the placenta to the fetus." Toxicity thresholds weren't explored in this study but this should surely give us pause, don't you think? If not, please explain why - I'd be very curious.<br />3) Glyphosate is a potent mineral chelator. This is how it kills insects, part of the reason why there are less nutrients the plants can take up & also (potentially) but likely bad for us via the same mechanism (chelation). Substantial concentrations remain on the food from what I understand. If this is the case, what about our bodies would make us able to handle such molecules?<br /><br />Like you (surely), I am also frustrated by a lot of the anti-GMO rhetoric & poor science brought to the table. I don't think the pro-GMO lobby is any better. It's surely worse, generally.<br /><br />I'm much less worried about the 'genetics' of it compared to the surfactants, chelators & other compounds used a lot in GMO & also in non-GMO farming to a different extent.<br /><br />Would you mind picking out a specific mechanism about glyphosate argued by Dr.Seneff that you think I should revisit? Just to give me a more tangible idea of what you disagree with.<br /><br />As always Dr.Ayers, your views are much appreciated!raphihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992252569979714724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-49983452134637664822014-11-16T01:43:41.455-07:002014-11-16T01:43:41.455-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.raphihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992252569979714724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-7971843504115234712014-11-15T16:34:27.166-07:002014-11-15T16:34:27.166-07:00Raphi,
I see my views on celiac to be complementar...Raphi,<br />I see my views on celiac to be complementary with the zonulin models. Note that zonulin is a heparin binding protein and deficiency in heparan sulfate proteoglycan results in protein losing enteropathy that is readily treated by heparin therapy. This all fits into a broader vision that includes HSPG circulation and many heparin binding events. Also note that inflammation and its impact on vitamin D are also involved, e.g. the receptor for vitamin D controls intestinal defensin production in villi crypts and of course the antimicrobial peptides contain heparin binding domains.<br /><br />All of the interrelationships make celiac a complex topic.<br /><br />I don't find Dr. Seneff's arguments persuasive about GMOs or glyphosate. There is just too little science and too much speculation. After reading hundreds of articles and being knowledgeable about the science, I do not hesitate to feed my family GMOs that have been treated with glyphosate, but I do avoid all pharmaceuticals (most are potent antibiotics), wheat, vegetable oils, trans fats, and processed foods with diminished soluble fiber. Most processed foods are more unhealthy than environmental toxins, so I don't worry about GMOs. Unfortunately, the benefits of organic vegetables are not significant, which confirms that toxins are not a big worry.<br /><br />The bottom line, is that sticking to a simple paleo diet of meat, fish, eggs and plenty of veggies (not to clean) and saturated fats, instead of vegetable oils, is a simple, healthy diet. All that is needed with that foundation is adapted gut flora, sleep and exercise. Beyond that don't worry, be happy.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-74224345308443359232014-11-15T05:59:35.400-07:002014-11-15T05:59:35.400-07:00Hello Dr.Ayers,

I'd have to think about it more & reconcile it with Fassano's gluten-zonulin-occludens hypothesis that stands stronger every time it is tested. Do you see yours & his as mutually exclusive or complimentary? Or neither maybe...<br /><br />Concerning glyphosate - sorry to be blunt but I think you are completely mistaken regarding its' purported safety. Please review some of Dr.Seneff's (MIT) articles on the matter here http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/. Alternatively, you can find many of her lectures/presentation on YouTube quite easily. Her background in computer science & lack of entrenchment within conventional medicine makes her a fantastic source of scientifically sound information regarding GMOs, vaccines and diet.<br /><br />Thought provoking post!<br />Thanksraphihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992252569979714724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-26998705076206262202014-11-12T01:48:04.898-07:002014-11-12T01:48:04.898-07:00It's right information given in this blog.

The problem is hypercalcemia, not direct toxicity of vitamin D. I doubt that will be an issue for the gut flora, so unless vitamin D affects them by some other mechanism, I wouldn't expect supplementation to adversely affect gut flora. Also, Chris Masterjohn has argued that adequate vitamin A and vitamin K2, especially the latter, protect against vitamin D toxicity.Greghttp://www.newriverhealingarts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-7988398985913931512014-10-19T01:17:03.777-06:002014-10-19T01:17:03.777-06:00Wouldn't supplements have an antibiotic effect...Wouldn't supplements have an antibiotic effect on the gut as well?<br /><br />Vitamin D isn't exactly found in large dense quantities in natural foods and where it appears it tends to come with fiber and other nutrients.

Sanitizers and frequent washing of hands and surfaces eliminate acquisition of environmental bacteria to repair damaged gut flora. Social isolation and hygiene block repair of gut flora.<br /><br />Replacement -- experimental replacement of damaged with healthy gut flora (fecal transplant) has been very effective in curing many diseases without significant risks, but is restricted by the medical industry."<br /><br />Am I on the right track now?<br /><br />Thank you so much.<br />Missynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-2935648893563755482014-10-18T16:57:28.923-06:002014-10-18T16:57:28.923-06:00Missy,
Health = diet + gut flora adapted to diet +...Missy,<br />Health = diet + gut flora adapted to diet + exercise + sleep<br /><br />You seem to have mentioned diet and probiotics. The diet should include basic macronutrients plus food for your broken gut flora, soluble fiber, aka non-glycemic fiber. RS3 fiber is one type of fiber, but I wouldn't recommend just eating the processed fibers, when you can get them in a better form in fruits and vegetables. All of the polysaccharides in plants are potential fiber for your gut flora.<br /><br />You mention a couple of probiotics, but those are only temporary fixes. Your symptoms indicate a major loss of species diversity in your gut flora, normally associated with antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, processed foods and constipation. You have to go beyond probiotics and introduce dozens of new species of new bacteria not present in probiotic capsules. I have several posts on the topic.<br /><br />You are almost certainly deficient in vitamin D with your level of inflammatory symptoms. Test, supplement and retest.<br /><br />You haven't mentioned omega-3s.<br /><br />All of the antibody tests just show that you have some inflammatory destruction of connective tissue with presentation of typical nuclear antigens. The problem is ongoing inflammation and a deficiency in Tregs due to your damaged gut flora.<br /><br />You need to find the source of your inflammation, e.g. diet, dental, infection, etc. If you fix that and repair your gut flora to regain your Tregs, then you should see a decline in nuclear associated antibodies and an elimination of your autoimmune diseases.<br /><br />Taking antibiotics will block some of your symptoms by ruining the rest of your limping immune system. That doesn't make sense, but it is a typical medical approach to addressing symptoms and making sure you are not cured.<br /><br />Thanks for your questions.

Last year I started getting some autoimmune sx (arthralgias of my fingers) cold feet and my ana was checked and was nucleolar positive. Further tests turned up positive Scleroderma antibodie(s) (yes 2). However the rheumy said because I have no raynauds or rashes or skin sx that he will wait and see. <br /><br />Telling me this may never turn into a full autoimmune disease and so I do not have a diagnosis. <br /><br />I have visited np's as well and they suggested to start on minocycline abx and ldn. I have not done that.<br /><br />I am trying to head things off at the pass though and turn things around so I am not diagnosed with a full disease. <br /><br />I eat pretty much in tune with PHD. No gluten. I eat rice and potatoes. I have read voraciously on your diet recommendations and think I would like to add Neem (as touted by the brilliant Ashwin Patel) Probiotic 3 and rs in the form of rs3.<br /><br />You mentioned adding a soluble fiber as well. Psyllium good? I could add this to my coconut oil smoothies if so.<br /><br />Anything I'm forgetting?<br /><br />I do not want to do anything at this point to turn my early sx into a full blown disease and so would LOVE your advice if this is a good way to go about fixing myself. <br /><br />All the best.<br /><br />Missy.Missynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-9508032337668470082014-10-17T14:22:56.749-06:002014-10-17T14:22:56.749-06:00yulotid,

Most people can completely repair damaged gut flora and reverse inflammation associated diseases, but it takes a lot of persistence. Fecal transplants are remarkably successful for curing a broad spectrum of diseases.<br /><br />Lamentably fecal transplants are still awkward. Frozen or freeze-dried fecal capsules make it a lot easier, but you are correct that it is difficult to displace a whole existing gut flora. Previous protocols knocked out or destabilized gut flora with antibiotics, but that has obvious disadvantages. Other difficulties were presented by not immediately shifting to a new diet that supported the history of the donor gut flora, or by continuing use of any drugs, since most pharmaceuticals have high antibiotic activity.<br /><br />It seems to me that using a PEG-based total bowel irrigation would be a good prelude to fecal capsules.<br /><br />I wouldn't expect routine fasting to be helpful, because recent studies show that changing eating patterns destabilizes gut flora. Fasting would however be useful prior to a shift to new gut flora. Whey protein might also be helpful, because it natural destabilizes adult gut flora in favor of dairy probiotics.<br /><br />Most probiotics, e.g. dairy probiotics, are not established in the adult gut, even though they may temporarily provide some of the benefits of an authentic gut flora.<br /><br />I think that it is informative that the medical industry refuses to study ways to repair gut flora with combinations of diet (non-glycemic fiber) and sources of new gut flora, e.g. homemade fermented vegetables. All they recommend after antibiotics is bandaid dairy probiotics that they know fail at repairing gut flora. Clearly, their business model is based on maintaining damaged gut flora, inflammation and vitamin D deficiencies. Fixing gut flora on a large scale would decimate the medical industry.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments and questions.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-66667408806109969302014-10-17T13:55:14.864-06:002014-10-17T13:55:14.864-06:00Jana,
The standard, non-mobile, version of my blog...Jana,<br />The standard, non-mobile, version of my blog has a link to my Anti-Inflammatory Diet, which is just an outline of one easy approach. It is just a typical paleo diet of meat/fish/eggs and vegetables. Since most people who search for control of inflammation and associated diseases will also be deficient in vitamin D, because inflammation blocks solar production, I also recommend getting your vitamin D serum level measured and check to see if supplementation actually works by remeasuring.<br /><br />The major point of the diet is to eliminate grains, vegetable oils and processed foods that don't provide soluble fiber to feed gut flora. Paleo is the easiest approach, but other diets will work if the appropriate gut flora are also established. There is no point to a new diet, if corresponding new bacteria are not added to the gut for adaptation.<br /><br />Most people also need to repair their gut flora to suppress autoimmune diseases, and I have several posts on gut flora fixes.<br /><br />I hope this helps.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-16151046156761684512014-10-17T11:35:30.374-06:002014-10-17T11:35:30.374-06:00I just discovered your website, and I'm encour...I just discovered your website, and I'm encouraged by the science and sense I find here! I'm wondering, though: is there one post that summarizes your approach to diet? It's pretty easy to pick up on what you're against, but it seems like it could take hours to sift through all these thorough posts to piece together what your affirmative recommendations would boil down to.Jana Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12655823010968220970noreply@blogger.com
