Comments by "Ellie" (@ellie698) on "Vitamin D reduces autoimmune disease" video.

@theredboneking I changed my diet completely in 2007.... I've still become increasingly disabled.... Take loads of vitamin d, k2, get lots of sunshine, given up diary and gluten. I'd love to just be able to get up and go for a walk ☹️ It's difficult when whatever you do, you just keep getting more and more disabled, lose more and more function 😥

@mem1701movies canned sauerkraut is pasteurised, so all the good bacteria have been killed by the heat

@benzgirlz8162 Hi thank you for getting in touch... tecfidera did nothing for me I'm afraid. I have taken most of the supplements you mention for years now. Been getting progressively more disabled. I've recently, within the last couple of months started a time restricted eating regimen (basically fasting for 20 hours in every 24), low carb, low protein diet, high healthy fats, loads of different veg, very little fruit, I'd already cut out all gluten and dairy since my diagnosis many years ago, but have now introduced goats and sheeps cheese and yoghurt back in to my diet. Never eaten them before. I've read Steven Gundry's Plant Paradox, Longevity Paradox, Wahls Proocol and Dr Steven Lin's The Dental Diet, i follow Dr Berg's YouTube channel re Keto principles too. If a food is a yes on all of them I'm including it, if it's a no on all of them I'm excluding it and I'm trying to practise special breathing, exercise and meditation techniques as well. I'm desperate, whatever it takes, I'm giving it a go 🙏 Prayer too! I feel God has been guiding me towards all the learning I've recently undergone. Here's hoping and praying 🙏

@helentee9863 interferons have long been superceded by lots of new therapies. none of which have worked for me, neither did the interferon... just made me feel lousy!

@Fluffy Hamster i take fistfuls of supplements (literally fistfuls) every day including B12 in the hope they might help Who knows, without them i might be even worse 🙄☹️

@creinicke1000 That's pretty much it yes! I was eating shop bought sauerkraut like it was going out of fashion until I discovered that 🙄 There are maybe one or two brands that aren't pasteurised, so that still do have the beneficial gut bugs alive, but you can't buy them from supermarkets or any of the health food shops near me. You might be able to get them mail order but if you can, it would be a good idea to just make your own. I just don't have the energy to. It's hard staying positive!

@theeggtimertictic1136 What you're referring to is the form of MS that the majority of people get diagnosed with at first. Called Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS for short) The disease hasn't gone into remission, it's still ongoing, just that the symptoms disappear for a while before making a reappearance. The ongoing damage to the myelin in the central nervous system by the immune system is always happening. They still don't exactly know why it happens in the first place, and there may be a range of causes. There's still no cure. And there's no drug that will repair damaged nerves. All that drugs can potentially do is slow down the rate of damage and disability (if you're lucky) It's a cruel disease, the biggest cause of disability in young adults.

@benzgirlz8162 Twice a day yes, can't remember the strength but 240 sounds about right. I get LOADS of sleep, could practically sleep around the clock some days. I try to keep stress levels down but the past couple of years have been really stressful... No other autoimmune conditions thankfully!!! I only know of the glandular fever. and Epstein Barr virus being linked to MS .. i was certainly exposed to it as a little kid, people around me got it but i didn't. Had chicken pox as an adult. I don't know what mono is tbh... You?

@shehas8chooks There's only so much damage the spinal cord can take it an optic nerve can take. There's no possible rerouting there.

@deedeeseecee9294 I watch Dr Steven Gundry, he has patients who have had success removing plant lectins and other toxins from their diet. I'm trying to get my microbiome good and healthy and fix potential leaky gut issues. I'm hoping it will help my body heal itself given enough time. Dr Steven Lin's book The Dental Diet is saying many of the same things, there is a healthy balance to the microbiome in many different parts of the body, including the mouth, the gut, the skin etc.... Our modern way of life is disrupting all of these delicate balances 🙄 The ongoing learning about the microbiome and holobiome is highlighting just out of balance everything is. And is thought to be behind every modern disease that we can see on the rise. Dr Lin's book is fascinating talking about the absence of dental decay in fossil human remains prior to the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago. Everything started going to shit then 😂

@benzgirlz8162 I completely avoided the sun for most of my life 😕 I'm trying to make up for it now. If only we could have the benefit of hindsight beforehand ☹️ I'm so sorry you have all of those autoimmune conditions. How does our body truth on us like that. I always say it's like the ultimate in self harm. I don't want to cause myself harm, how come my immune system does??? oh god, processed 60's foods yes!!! what were they thinking? 🤦🏻‍♀️ And with all the intensive farming practices robbing all food of it's nutrition, feeding farm animals non nutritious but cheap food so their meat and milk can't provide us with nutrition, the entire human race seems to be intent on continual self harm. We're looking ourselves and each other in the long term because of short term gains. We think we're so clever as a species but we're a blight on the planet and our own worst enemies. I wish i could move to somewhere and grow all my own food ☹️

@laurastephenson-davies5412 It's interesting you mentioned trauma.... I'm sure you've cube across the work of Gabor Maté....? He talks about early trauma often leading to autoimmune and other diseases later in life.... the effects of early trauma on the brain and stress response etc.

@destinyglenn5218 Yes, exactly this. It really irritates me when people who don't have it try to tell me to be positive! As if that's going to make a difference. I'm a very positive person. if all it took was being positive I would be well. And people who say, ah just make the most of every day, enjoy your life etc etc etc. My experience of inhabiting my body and its disability, of not being in control, of not being able to do anything about making things better.... It's like a living death, it's like constant torture to me. People might mean well but they have NO idea what it's like 🤬 I hate this disease 😕 I've always looked after myself well, plenty of exercise, good diet, not much alcohol, no smoking, no drugs and yet I get this????!!! And other people just take no care of themselves and are perfectly fine! Gah I feel prematurely old. I have friends in their 80's who are fit, healthy, energetic and active and then there's me shuffling about like a 90yr old. I hate it. I don't want to actually get old. I can't beat to think what I'll be like by then. It really doesn't bear thinking about 😕 I completely changed my diet when I was diagnosed. I followed the advice of Dr George Jelinek to the letter and was absolutely fine until maybe stuff years ago when things started going pearshaped very quickly. I don't want to get up in the morning any more. What's the point of I can't actually do anything or achieve anything. I need help to do the simplest things 😕 I bloody hate my life and have no hope for the future. It scares me tbh. It really scares me I don't know how much more I can take. My resilience is just about at breaking point.
