Slide10

It’s not Just…

The aluminum in your deodorant,or fluoride in your toothpaste,or the glyphosate in you cereal,or the

Barium

constantly falling from the chem trails destroying the body’s ability to create Butyrate, which is needed for SCFA production.

And it’s not just the

iodine

in your salt

or the

Formaldehyde

in carpet,

or the

parabens

in your shampoo,

or the

gluten

in food and make-up,

or the

styrene

from your carpet backing,

styrofoam

and plastics

Slide12

Slide13

What are they?

Where do they come from?

Covert invaders

Pathogenic microorganisms

Bacteria, virus, worms, parasites and fungi that can survive undetected for years in the human body

Come from our food supply

Passed from person to person

They are also passed from animals to people

Slide14

Here’s how they do it

They hide in biofilms, other cells and various tissues of the bodyThey re-emerge in situations of heightened stress or

immune response

They morph and change shapes to protect themselves

when their environment is threatened

They can have

several different forms at the same time

One characteristic is their active efflux pumps which contribute to multidrug resistance as they

expel different types of antibiotics and chemicals

such as dyes, organic solvents, detergents, molecules needed for the cell–cell communication, biocides, and metabolic products

Slide15

This is how smart those little buggers are…

The bacterium can shift among the different forms, converting from the spirochete form to round bodies and/or biofilm colonies when presented with an unfavorable environment and reverting to the spirochete when the condition is again favorable for growth.They have signaling mechanisms on their cell surface receptors to facilitate a comprehensive attack.

Eradication is difficult but not impossible.

Hiring someone that knows what they are doing is a really good idea. The body goes through some interesting dynamics that can be difficult to understand. An experienced, compassionate practitioner can exponentially ease your journey.

Slide16

“Why haven’t I ever heard of them?”

They don’t show up on most bloodwork.There are thousands of different types.They are hard to treat due to their stealth capabilities.

Most are antibiotic resistant. In fact, they thrive in the presence of antibiotics, and heavy metals and cortisol and …!

Slide17

Also associated with

stealth pathogens…Lyme’s diseaseEpstein Barr virus

Walking pneumonia

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Fibromyalgia

Ulcerative colitis

Crohn’s

SIBO - small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

Dementia

Multiple sclerosis

Syphilis

Mold sensitivity

Multiple chemical sensitivities

Gum disease

Breakdown of tissue or bone

Immune system inflammation

Autoimmune disease

Slide18

Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops with Multiple Drug Resistance

One of the most prevalent nosocomial pathogens.

Survives in different environments including soil, plants, and animals.

Considered the most opportunistic human pathogen, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Commonly reported in burns, urinary tract infections, and pulmonary diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

Lower outer membrane permeability

Overexpression of active efflux systems

Slide19

E

scherichia coliWhat is it?

Gram-negative bacteria

A normal cell-type in humans

Produces

vitamin K

2

in the human body

Comes out in your poop

Fecal–oral transmission

Virulent

strains typically cause

diarrhea

in healthy adults but can cause serious illness or death in the elderly, the very young, or the

immunocompromised

.

Why are they sneaky?

E. coli can live with and without oxygen meaning they can thrive in environments with lots of water.

The outer membrane surrounding the cell wall provides a barrier to certain antibiotics.

E. coli

and related bacteria possess the ability to transfer

DNA

via bacterial conjugation or transduction, which allows genetic material to spread horizontally through an existing population.

Slide20

Epstein Barr spirochetes

Note how it’s spiral formation allows it to burrow into tissue.

Spirochetes are adept at surviving chemical attack from antibiotics.

Slide21

Bilharzia-a fun little parasite that can penetrate our skin thru the feet

Slide22

…entering the microbiome

Simply put, it is the sum total of all the bacteria, virus and fungi and their DNA that inhabit the human body.The gut microbiome contains 100X’s more genes than the rest of the human body.It is unique to its host.It is heritable.It can be modified by drugs, surgery and antibiotics.In its absence, all aspects of the hosts physiology are affected.

Slide23

The importance of the gastrointestinal microbiome to our overall health is often underestimated and sometimes completely overlooked.

Slide24

The amazing world of the microbiome

Correlations are now evident between many disease processes and microbial dysbiosis patterns in both gut dysfunction and extra-intestinal disorders.Microbiome testing can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipationGut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other. A sizeable volume of research associates a dysbiosis, or imbalanced gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract. The diverse metabolic activities of the microbiome ultimately impact the human host, and the activities of the human host ultimately affect the health of their microbiome.

Utilizing cutting-edge technologies and biomarkers, microbiome testing offers valuable insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome.

Slide25

Let’s break it down

Hippocrates said all disease start in gutThe large intestine is the size of football fieldThere are billions of bacteria in the gut. They regulate inflammation and the immune system.80% of our neurotransmitters are in the gut75 % of the immune system is in the gut

Slide26

Everything is affected

skin (acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, headaches)brain (depression, anxiety ADD)bad bacteria and leaky gut can lead to depressionsinus (frequent colds)food sensitivityjoints – rheumatoid arthritisother:  constipation, adrenal fatigue affects every organ of body

Slide27

gut-brain connection via the Vagus nerve

Bacteria in gut can lead to autism, depression, anxietyResearch has shown all people with brain disorders have gut problems like constipation and bloatingSymptoms are related to inflammation traveling from the gut to the brain 75-80 % of autistic patients have gut abnormalityGut bacteria affect all the neurotransmitters Diet and fixing the gut bacteria can recover ability to make neurotransmitters

Slide28

And when it’s not working…

Low vagal tone can lead to cardiovascular disease, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, depression, diabetes, chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, and cognitive impairment

Vagus nerve stimulation reduces and modulates metabolic conditions and inflammation

Heart rate variability with inspiration and expiration higher is better

Slide29

Functional medicine

Identifies and assesses how your body is functioning at all levelsLooking for the root cause underlying symptomsIdentifies improper health trajectory 20 years before traditional symptoms show up

Slide30

Slide31

Initiation of autoimmunity

This is the techy stuff:Typically the gut has tight junctions. When these are weakened, the gut becomes permeablebacteria, viruses, and other substances go into the blood stream causing autogenic reactions as the body sees these as foreign and mounts defense

Is this you?

Slide32

Causes of leaky gut

lectins from gluten and grains,processed glutenalcohol, soy sauceBad bacteria love to feed on sugar and grainsGenetically modified foods

Slide33

…and the biggest culprit is…

Gluten, which damages the gut lining, even if there is no gluten sensitivity and it contains pesticides, such as glyphosate.All grains increase the body’s pesticide load and can destroy the gut and brain.There is indirect exposure by eating animals that were fed hormones, insecticides and antibiotics.Affects every system in the body.80% of pesticides we are exposed to are ingested through eating meat.

Slide34

And then there is the less obvious culprits!

A couple of Advil per week is all it takes to kill good gut bacteriastressantibioticsDid you know that a colonoscopy prep wipes out all of the good bacteria from the intestines?

Slide35

glyphosate

Adversely affects the microbiomeAutism highly correlatedOver 170 peer reviewed articleAutism is increasing and is expected to affect 50 % of the population in 2025 ½ autismrats fed GMOs got tumors and multiple organ damagesglyphosate destroy shikimate pathway which makes neurotransmitters dopamine, tyrosine, serotonin

Slide36

How much time between food and poo?

Optimal alimentary transit time is 12 – 24 hours.This is absolutely key to getting rid of toxinsIf the poo moves too slow, constipation is the result. This gives toxins the opportunity to go back into the intestines, causing more inflammation.If your poo is on the fast-track, we call it Diarrhea. In this case there is no chance for nutrients to be absorbedIf necessary, poo transit can be measured with activated charcoal or beets. Eat, set the timer and wait! When you see it, stop the timer!

Slide37

stats

five phyla represent the majority of bacteria that comprise the gut microbiota.There are approximately 160 species in the large intestine of any individual9 Polyphenols are a diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, often associated with the color, taste and defense mechanisms of fruit and vegetables. They have long been studied as the most likely class of compounds present in whole plant foods capable of affecting physiological processes that protect against chronic diet-associated diseases An increase in relative abundance of Firmicutes and a proportional decrease in Bacteroidetes were associated with the microbiota of obese mice,

23

which was confirmed in a human dietary intervention study demonstrating that weight loss of obese individuals (body mass index, BMI>30) was accompanied by an increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes.

Slide38

What should you do???

these pathogens are called stealth for a reason!Let Me Help!!!

Anti-virals and anti-bacterials always require immune support during eradication

Essential oils are best treatment for bacteria

Anti-fungals: lemongrass, tea tree eucalyptus, oregano oil, echinacea, garlic

Helminths: Myrrh, Wormwood, Stemona, clove essential oil, Artimesia Annua, garlic Andrographis, peppermint or green tea

St. John’s Wort-enveloped viruses i.e. HIV

Thuja Occidentalis-naked viruses i.e. HPV (not for respiratory virus)

Oregano oil-excellent success with systemic candidiasis (pathogenic yeast found in biofilms)

Caution must be taken when using herbs due to serious drug interactions

Slide41

Techniques to increase vagal tone

Is this you?

Test your poop!!!!

Breathe from belly

Hum

Sing, loudly

Repeat Om

Loving-kindness meditation

Rinse with cold water

Slide42

What can testing your microbiome do?

Give a complete picture how every aspect of your gut is functioning including the beneficial floraIt shows how vitamins are manufactured and food is digestedAssesses digestive absorptionShows balance between good and bad bacteria

Can identify the risk for colon cancer. (By the time standard colonoscopy or occult blood test shows problems, the disease process is very advanced.)

Identifies yeast, bacteria, parasites

Determines if there are the right enzymes to digest carbs, fats and veggies.

Slide43

What makes me different?

I listen to You…for as long as it takes! I take into consideration all the things you have already tried to do: the doctors you’ve seen, the tests you’ve had, all the meds you’ve taken, all the diets you’ve been on, all your good habits and bad…legal or otherwise, your sleeping routines, pooping habits, drinking habits, eating habits, etc.I evaluate your levels of deficiency and toxicity, the only 2 things that stand in the way of the health you desire.I educate you on the importance of proper structural alignment and how it affects your central nervous system, the fuse panel of your body.

Slide44

What I can do for you!

Test your Poop!!!

Slide45

Test your poo for levels of Secretory IgA
