Keep Chronic Disease At Bay

The following article is complements of Dr Al Sears.

For A.W., good luck struck twice.

Almost 25 years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I can only imagine that has to be one of the most devastating pieces of news that a woman will hear in her lifetime.

But…

Less than one month later, her lump was gone and her cancer was cured. The unique therapy is one I’ve used at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine for years.

Two decades later, A.W.’s husband, R.W., was hit with a constellation of chronic health problems.

R.W.’s strange cluster of ailments included high blood pressure, agonizing headaches, sleep apnea, prostate enlargement… and most devastatingly, the autoimmune disease lupus.

His doctors were mystified at this strange assortment of disorders. The best solution they could give him were prescriptions for some pretty powerful drug.

But R.W. wasn’t getting any better…

So he turned to the same treatment that cured his wife of cancer.

Almost immediately his blood pressure returned to normal. His prostate improved. His headaches disappeared.

And his lupus went into remission.

Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve successfully treated dozens of patients using the same therapy R.W. and his wife used to cure their chronic diseases.

A therapy that is based on two Nobel Prize-winning breakthroughs.

Let me explain…

In 1974, two molecular biologists earned a Nobel Prize for discovering that your body has not one — but TWO — immune systems.

Your second immune system (SIS) usually lies dormant. But when reawakened, it has the amazing ability to keep chronic disease at bay.

But there was a problem. Nobody knew how to activate it. Then, just last year, another Nobel Prize was awarded to Japanese biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi. His work revealed how to trigger this second immune system.¹

Your SIS is different than your regular immune system. The immune system you’re familiar with attacks foreign invaders from “outside,” like germs, bacteria, viruses and other parasites.

But your second immune system has a different job. It involves a process called autophagy that attacks threats that come from INSIDE your body — or what I call cellular “dead weight.”

This is the dead weight of damaged, dysfunctional and other unnecessary cells.

Normally, your body uses your SIS to clear out this cellular trash. That’s how you stay young and disease-free.

But as you age, you gradually lose this ability. And all this cellular dead weight starts to pile up in your body like trash bags on garbage day.

For patients with autoimmune diseases like R.W., your first immune system treats these “trash bag” cells like a foreign invader and then launches an all-out attack. Your body releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack your healthy cells.

But autoimmune diseases aren’t the only way this cellular dead weight leads to disease.

It affects your brain, heart, lungs, joints and virtually any organ — causing multiple conditions like heart disease, hypertension, Alzheimer’s, cancer, obesity, arthritis, chronic pain and autoimmune diseases like the lupus R.W had.

Your second immune system works by hunting down and attacking these dead weight cells and actually forcing them to “eat themselves.”

Then it recycles what’s left into energy. In other words, it turns the dead weight of old cellular debris into the fuel your body needs to fight chronic disease.²

Professor Ohsumi showed that, once activated, your SIS has the power to renew almost any organ in your body.

I use a specific protocol to activate the second immune system and help my patients reverse chronic disease — without Big Pharma drugs. Here’s what I recommend:

Activate Your Second Immune System

You can help trigger your second immune system by using a technique called intermittent fasting — which mimics the ancient primal lifestyle of “feast and famine.”

I recommend my patients start with a safe, simple regimen that calls for an 8-hour eating window each day, followed by a 16-hour fast. Here’s how it works:

Start your day with a 10 a.m. breakfast
Lunch at your regular time
Finish your dinner by 6 p.m.
Your body gets no additional food from 6 p.m. until 10 a.m. the next day

When your body gets used to the 16-hour fast, you can move up to the 24-hour mark. You can practice one-day fasts as often as every two weeks.

To Your Good Health,
