118. (Lyme & Mold Part 3) Thymosin Alpha 1 Peptide, Immune System Modulation, Th1 & Th2 Responses, How Borrelia Evades the Immune System (+ Ways to Overcome This), & More

24 minutes

In today's episode, we explore the role of Thymosin Alpha 1 Peptide in modulating the immune system, specifically its effects on Th1 and Th2 responses. The episode further delves into the mechanisms by which Borrelia burgdorferi evades immune detection and offers strategies to enhance immune effectiveness against this stealthy pathogen. Additionally, we discuss the broader implications of immune modulation in chronic Lyme disease and mold exposures.

Topics:

Introduction

Recap of the series on Lyme and mold

Highlighting the key steps in the biotoxin illness resolution process

Importance of working with a medical professional

Key Steps in Biotoxin Illness Resolution

Lowering inflammation

Lipid replacement therapy (phospholipids)

Use of antimicrobial and antiparasitic herbs for Lyme and coinfections

Employing binders to eliminate toxins and reduce inflammation

Checking for MARCoNS and utilizing treatments like silver spray or biofilm busters (e.g., xylitol)

Detoxification post-MARCoNS clearance using agents like chlorella and glutathione

Assessing and normalizing various health markers (e.g., ADH, osmolality, MMP9, C4a, C3a, TGF-beta, sex hormones)

Additional Resources and Episodes

Chronic inflammation and biotoxin management: Episode 117

Role of binders in interrupting enterohepatic circulation and toxin elimination

Discussion on Biofilm

Importance of addressing biofilm in antimicrobial therapies

Potential supplements and strategies (e.g., garlic, oil of oregano, stevia)

Overview of Lyme Disease Impact & Immune Function

Chronic inflammation due to miscommunication between the innate and adaptive immune systems + dysregulated adaptive responses

How borrelia evades the immune responses

Effects on regulatory T cells (Tregs) and immune tolerance

Conclusion

Reminder to work with a Lyme literate or biotoxin illness literate medical professional
