Hey guys, someone had a question about autoimmune. What was my thoughts on autoimmune conditions?

0:05.7

And I want to talk to you about that in this video. There's a guy named Dr. Royal Lee, famous

0:13.3

nutritionists back in the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. I think he died in 1963. Okay? But he was heavily attacked by the FDA and the whole thing.

0:25.3

It's an interesting story. But he had a lot of amazing nutritional discoveries. And one was something

0:32.6

called a PMG, which stands for protomorphogen. And it actually works on autoimmune okay so in this example let's

0:41.6

just take the thyroid gland we have the thyroid and the body's creating antibodies which mean

0:47.2

against the body against its own tissue so it's a self-attack so an autoimmune disease or condition

0:53.9

is a condition where your body is

0:56.4

attacking itself. Kind of crazy, but that's what happens. So you have the situation where it becomes

1:03.0

inflamed and it just stays inflamed and you can't heal. It doesn't function because your immune system

1:10.1

is attacking itself.

1:12.4

So he had a brilliant idea, and I like this idea.

1:17.6

He said if you take an extract the DNA from another species, like a, let's say we took the DNA from a cow thyroid and we extracted it.

1:31.4

So what he did, he took the cells from another species, and he found a way of extracting the

1:37.7

DNA using sea salt, okay? Because sea salts will cause it to burst. He takes out the DNA material

1:43.8

and he dehydrates it, okay?

1:46.7

So he found that the DNA from this thyroid is similar to ours, okay?

1:52.7

I don't know if it's identical, but it's pretty similar.

1:55.9

And then if you take this PMG, say this thyroid extract, into your stomach, what happens is your antibodies that

2:06.1

are attacking the thyroid go to this decoy and leave your thyroid alone. This was the whole

2:15.9

strategy and theory. Of basically giving the body a decoy to divert the

2:21.7

attention of the immune system, to let the thyroid then heal because it's no longer being attacked.
