EBV is currently the leading cause of MS
Did you know in the last few years the medical world has scientifically deducted per research that there IS one leading CAUSE of multiple sclerosis?!
Did you know it was Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
Did you know you can get tested and start to rid that from your body NOW?
Today’s guest is Allaire Schneider.
Allaire has a Medical Lab Science (M.L.S.) degree and is also board certified (ASCP). She has written medical journal papers, herself, AND her husband has managed MS for 20 years now while SHE manages Crohn’s disease.
Allaire believes many people might have EBV as part of their root cause of MS, per the article. More virus means more damaging antibodies made and worsening of MS symptoms. The EBV virus is hard to get rid of like cold sore viruses. They can stay dormant until the immune system is weak & then come out again later. IF you test positive to EBV these antibodies will do damage to your CNS so you would want to address this with your doctor. Interesting note: Even though this was released to the public, EBV testing is NOT part of initial differential MS diagnosis nor is it done annually with MS patients.
This is something you will need to do ON YOUR OWN.

Optimal body DNA program
Have you ever gotten your DNA read? Yeah you can use 23andme or some other company but when you get back a bunch of genetic markers that you have NO idea what they mean, it is a WASTE of money.
Well, today we are talking with Deric Lyons about the program he created that can literally highlight your own personal predispositions to conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, specific autoimmune markers.. and more.
We will then hear from David Lyons about how your DNA can determine the best type of workouts for your OWN body type.
I am in David Lyons, Optimal body fitness program, as well!
I had mine read with this database and I have a TON of markers that make me higher chance of developing MS. Interesting!
I will be getting Dylan's (he’s 16) done, as well.
PS. Genetic markers influence metabolism and how certain foods cause weight gain and inflammation.
Ex. Mine show I have a few of the 'fat genes' and am genetically predisposed to have to FIGHT body fat in my lifetime. It also shows my body has NO issue with dairy or gluten.. interesting huh!?!?

Measuring activity w/MS blood test
Did you know there is no true TEST to say 'you have multiple sclerosis.'
They schedule an MRI.
If they see a 'spot' or 'lesions'.
If it is found in 2 different areas, you are typically diagnosed.
SOME neurologists will order a spinal tap to see if they find HIGH LEVELS of PROTEIN in that spinal fluid, more speficially the specific group of proteins called oligoclonal bands, they will say YEP. You 'HAVE' mS.
**
There is no BLOOD test until now.
This company, Octave, can structure these results to discern whether there is PROGRESSION, STABILITY or REGRESSION.
This new technology will standardize the diagnosis of MS.

There’s no easy fix
With MS it can be a HUGE misconception that if you just master “X” or figure out “Y” then the journey would be easier.

Energy enhancement system and multiple sclerosis
Teresa Benson joins us today to tell her story. In 2011 an injury started a cascade of unexpected events. She spent 7yrs of trips to neurologists, pulmonologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, and cardiologist before she turned to an integrative health facility for help. She then started their ozone treatments , IV treatments, lymph massages, herbal protocols, antibiotics and pills to try and stop the uncovered lyme disease that had started to destroy her organs. When these treatments were not stopping the progression they suggested her fly down to Sanoviv Medical Center in Mexico for help. It was there she was treated for lyme disease, mold, mycotoxins and co-infections. She went to the center in a wheelchair and after the 3 week protocol she left walking and feeling great. Shortly after returning, family trauma occurred in her life and it threw her body back into a spiral. This spiral caused her body to shut down once again. She then went back to the integrative medicine clinic where they installed a PICC line through which she was given non-stop IV's. When this did not stop the progression she ended up in a local hospital in 2019 showing signs of Parkinsons and Dementia. At this point she knew she needed to head back to Mexico in 2019 to stop the lyme from attacking her brain further. She left the facility feeling great, once again. Once again after arriving home, she had yet more family trauma. Her sister passed away from untreated lyme disease and it emotionally and physically was too much for Teresa to handle. The lyme in her body came back with vengeance. She was down to 69lbs and had a feeding tube put in. She was told she had 2 adult tape worms and 30 hatching eggs and the treatments could not stop the parasites. They were literally killing her. Her immune system was shot and she could not fight anymore. She was dying of lyme disease before her families eyes when she was introduced to energy work through a friend of her moms. She immediately started working with him over the phone. She had told God that if he healed her body that she would use the rest of her life helping others heal. Within 6 weeks of energy medicine back in 2020 she was completely healed of all her symptoms and has been healthy ever since. She kept up her deal with God and currently has an EES healing studio called E1evate here in Winston Salem, NC. Her mission is to help others with the power of energy medicine and that is exactly what she is doing. Her website is: https://e1evateusa.com/
If you are not in NC, you can find a center near you with the following websites:
https://www.unifydhealing.com/ OR https://www.eesystem.com/
A bit about EES. The Energy Enhancement SystemTM (EESystemTM) generates multiple bio-active life enhancing energy fields, including “scalar waves” which can allow cell regeneration, improve immune function, provide relief from pain, detoxify the body, elevate moods, and assist in balancing right and left hemispheres of the brain to increase energy levels.
This stunning technology, developed over 20 years by Dr. Sandra Rose Michael, Ph.D, DNM, DCSJl, uses custom-installed computers to generate morphogenic energy fields that can promote healing. The EESystem has been recognized at dozens of medical, scientific and professional conferences around the world.
The EESystem has been installed throughout the United States and internationally to promote wellness, healing, relaxation, purification and rejuvenation. This ecologically & environmentally safe system is used by individuals, doctors, and therapists as well as Meditation and Wellness Centers to improve human development and psychological well-being.

Managing your fears of MS
Fear is certainly an emotion that you will feel at some point in your journey managing multiple sclerosis or not. It is what you DO with that emotion that will change your entire life. You can either surrender TO IT and allow fear to overcome you or you can allow yourself to feel it and then let it go. It sounds easier than it is. It requires intention. It requires knowledge. It will definitely require you to have a bit more tools than the average person not managing MS. *WHICH is not necessarily a BAD thing!!! One more reason we all think MS actually forced us into being better human beings!* Here are the list of people all three of us follow for weekly encouragement to challenge our thinking.

Could Epstein Barr virus be the cause of MS?
Epstein-Barr virus is one of the nine known herpesviruses and one of the most common viruses found in humans. It is estimated that approximately 90% of the world´s population is infected with EBV. Infections typically occur in early childhood and are usually asymptomatic. However, when infections occur later in life, they frequently cause infectious mononucleosis (“glandular fever”) and other serious complications. The virus is also associated with certain cancers – approximately 200,000 cancer cases worldwide, including several types of lymphoma, are attributed to EBV.
To explore whether there is a link between MS and EBV, a team of researchers studied more than 10 million active duty US military personnel between 1993 and 2013. Dr. Alberto Ascherio from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health led the study. NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) partly supported the work. The results appeared in Science on January 13, 2022.
The results documented that EBV infection is by far the most important risk factor for multiple sclerosis.

Ozone therapy & multiple sclerosis
Ozone is THREE oxygen molecules bound together. Could this be a game changer in our journeys with multiple sclerosis? I believe it is. I also think that it’s worth spending the $$ to try and find out for yourself. This is not a new therapy in other countries (shocker!). Once again we have been kept in the dark. Let’s chat about my experience (Nikki) last week & my plans going forward with this treatment!

Could fungus & yeast be the root cause?
The Yeast Connection by Dr Crook, Multiple Sclerosis by Judy Graham and The Candida Cure by Ann Boroch/foreward by Dr Perlmutter. These three books lead me to my interest in the similarities in my MS journey and all things they speak on in book. Did you know that YEAST is not just yeast infections and fungus on toenails? Yeast overgrowth is tied to ear and sinus problems, upper respiratory infections, PMS, fibroids, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, acne, anxiety, autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, lupis, autism, cancer and mental illnesses.. list goes on. YEAST is not talked about because western medicine continues to quietly ignore the connection between yeast overgrowth & overuse of prescription drugs, especially antibiotics and steroids, and other common offenders like diet and the air we breath. Fungus burrows its roots in the intestinal lining and creates leaky gut.. porous openings in the gut lining..which allows the fungus and byproducts to escape into our blood stream.

Myths & Truth about MS and pregnancy
“Great! Will I even be able to have KIDS now!?” Did that go through your mind after diagnosis before you had kiddos? Did that fear stop you from having kids?

MS & your gut biome
What has microbiome research told us about MS?
To prevent MS, we need to understand what causes it. 50 years of research has taught us that genes and environment and lifestyle factors like vitamin D, smoking and infections are important, but not the whole story.
Experts think the gut microbiome might have a role by triggering or ramping up the immune system's faulty response in MS.
Over the past decade or so, they have begun to appreciate how much communication there is between the brain and the gut. They're in contact all the time.
On top of this, there's the gut microbiome, which is what we call all the bacteria, fungi and other microbes that live in our digestive system.
It's strange to think about, but there are actually more bacterial cells inside the human body than human cells! These trillions of bacteria can change how our bodies work, including our immune systems and brains.

Power behind breath work
Ever FEEL a MS symptom coming on? Do you immediately start worrying or focusing on it? Well that’s the last thing you should do. Did you know deeper, slower breathing can also let your body know to come out of fight-or-flight mode? You can literally use your breath to stop that from coming on. The mind, body, and breath are intimately connected and can influence each other. Essentially, your breathing is influenced by your thoughts, and your thoughts and physiology can be influenced by your breath. Learning to breathe consciously and with awareness is a valuable tool in helping to restore balance in the mind and body—something very useful during times of stress. Let’s chat!✌️

What is energy healing?
Have you ever tried energy work? We know our body is made of different frequencies. Every cell in our body. So what IS energy work? I always think “spiritual stuff” & not God centered when I hear it. However, if our bodies are made of energy could I be wrong? What am I missing here? How can someone sense what’s wrong with you from afar? Over the phone? What is our pain & illness trying to tell us? Our body is always communicating w us..most of us are too busy to listen tho. Typically it will happen bc your body is saying STOP and REST. Is THIS energy work? Did you know that certain emotions like fear & anxiousness & depression & even excitement show up in the physical sense? How do you “let these go”? I’m bringing in an expert, Monika Korea-Zajic from Switzerland, to talk to us about it today. She is living symptom -free of MS and wants to share how this was a big part of it. To connect with Monika you can find her here: https://www.facebook.com/monika.korbazajic OR her website here: https://www.monikakorba.podia.com

Invisible symptoms
“Oh wow, you don’t even look like you have MS” or “What? You have MS?”
All 3 of us have heard this.
I mean if you look so good..how come you can’t do X or Y or Z…is what we think they are saying.
MS is mostly an invisible disease.
Family members, co-workers, loved ones and people in general are impacted by things they can SEE.
The wheelchairs, the canes, the foot drag..those things they have empathy for.
The cognitive issues, the fatigue, the pain, the bladder issues, the depression..that’s not seen and for some is a daily battle.
❌Today at 1pm EST we will help educate you all about the invisible symptoms just so you know❌
