1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,559
What if everything we've been told about
autoimmunity is wrong?
2
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:11,279
I'm Elizabeth Yarnell.
3
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:17,885
After awakening partially blind one morning in
1999, a doctor told me my multiple sclerosis
4
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:21,484
would put me in a wheelchair within ten years.
5
00:00:22,524 --> 00:00:27,644
I refused to accept that as the end of the
story, so I started investigating.
6
00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:36,170
Welcome to The Inflammation Investigator, the
podcast that uncovers the inflammation lurking
7
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:38,329
underneath your ailments.
8
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:46,704
Because autoimmune and chronic conditions
should not be viewed as death knells when they
9
00:00:46,704 --> 00:00:49,344
are actually alarm bells.
10
00:00:50,625 --> 00:00:57,369
I'm a traditional naturopath and founder of the
Inflammation Academy, And in two episodes every
11
00:00:57,369 --> 00:01:01,689
week, we dig into what conventional medicine
might be missing.
12
00:01:02,570 --> 00:01:08,170
If you're living with chronic or unexplained
symptoms, this investigation is for you.
13
00:01:09,254 --> 00:01:12,135
Your body has been trying to tell you
something.
14
00:01:12,854 --> 00:01:14,534
Let's start listening.
15
00:01:20,375 --> 00:01:27,790
In the last episode, hopefully you listened to
my manifesto about how food sensitivities
16
00:01:28,189 --> 00:01:31,549
relate to inflammation and multiple sclerosis.
17
00:01:32,030 --> 00:01:34,750
And today, let's just kind of do a little
review.
18
00:01:34,750 --> 00:01:37,310
What are the key takeaways from that manifesto?
19
00:01:38,694 --> 00:01:47,174
The first one is about doctor Alessio Fasano's
groundbreaking work with celiac disease and how
20
00:01:47,174 --> 00:01:54,469
it led him to propose that all autoimmune
conditions share three common factors.
21
00:01:55,269 --> 00:02:01,189
One, a genetic predisposition to
hypersensitivity, two, an environmental
22
00:02:01,189 --> 00:02:04,149
trigger, and three, a leaky gut.
23
00:02:05,974 --> 00:02:11,974
The second takeaway is that hypersensitivity
reactions to common foods and chemicals can
24
00:02:11,974 --> 00:02:15,735
cause cells to swell, I.
25
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:17,254
E, inflammation.
26
00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:27,139
Three, the inflammation at the core of MS and
other inflammatory conditions arises from the
27
00:02:27,139 --> 00:02:32,819
introduction of external stimuli that trigger
the T cells in hypersensitive people.
28
00:02:33,985 --> 00:02:41,104
The T cells set off an inflammatory cascade
involving B cells, neutrophils, complement,
29
00:02:41,104 --> 00:02:43,585
enzymes, and phagocytes.
30
00:02:45,824 --> 00:02:55,150
Four, the Fight MS with Food project began in
2011 to test the solutions advocated in this
31
00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:56,030
podcast.
32
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:08,194
And finally, it's time to redefine autoimmunity
as not meaning allergic to self, instead as
33
00:03:08,194 --> 00:03:10,115
rampant inflammation.
34
00:03:12,354 --> 00:03:13,875
I'll see you in the next episode.
35
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,840
And that's another case filed on the
inflammation investigator.
36
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Remember, every symptom is your body's way of
communicating.
37
00:03:28,674 --> 00:03:30,514
We just need to learn the language.
38
00:03:31,394 --> 00:03:35,955
If today's episode sparked something for you, I
want to hear about it.
