Autoimmunity: Triggers & Immune Response Support | A Different Perspective | March 11, 2023

This week, on A Different Perspective, Doc talks about environmental triggers for autoimmune conditions. How do you support the immune response? Doc breaks it down.

Health is function. If your body is functioning well, you’re healthy. If not, it’s sick.

Science is your understanding of the world around you. It’s observation.

The science of medicine changes all the time.

Vitamin D and how melanin affects sun absorption

Smoking

Pesticides

You still had to put a stimulus in for the body to respond

Some genes are overloaded easier than others; it doesn’t mean your genes are your destiny

The body is protecting you by breaking things down that are dangerous

There is no drug or medicine that supports the body
