The digestive system determines the type of immune response.
There are three basic immune responses. Here, I am simplifying.
The Mucosal Immune Response (MI), the Cell Mediated Response (TH1) and the Humoral Immune Response. (TH2).
Look at your digestive tract as a tube from your head to your rectum.
More than 80% of the immune system is in the mucosa of the digestive tract, from the nose to the rectum, when you are eating. It is the first line of defense for anything from outside the body trying to get into its systems. This includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, environmental contaminants, or undigested food.
Mucosal Immunity (MI)
Imagine your mucosa as a silk stocking encrusted with white blood cells and immunoglobulins. These defenders will tag, attack, and eliminate any perceived pathogens, such as a toxin, bacteria, fungus, virus, or undigested food protein that enter your system and attempt to pass through the lining into your blood. If the candida has made holes in the lining (leaky gut), it will look more like a fishnet stocking, allowing undigested proteins, perceived as pathogens, to pass through the intestinal lining into the blood.
Humoral immunity (TH2)
If this Mucosal Immunity does not stop the perceived pathogen, then a Humoral Immune Response (TH2) is activated. This TH2 will tag the invader as an antigen, create an inflammatory antibody response, and deposit the invader in the lymphatic system. There, the CD4 helper cells decide which type of response will continue. [ TH2 response will also suppress the TH1 response. ] The body has only a limited amount of energy to expend and will prioritize. The priority is to get any perceived toxins/pathogens out of the blood before they can damage a tissue cell. Undigested food is perceived as a toxin.
Cell-mediated immunity (TH2)
Cell-mediated immunity response destroys infections within cells or destroys the infected cell and pathogen, such as Candida, herpes, Epstein Barr, HIV, cancer, etc.
The TH1 response is the most effective way to treat chronic infections.
The challenge
Three times a day, or every time they eat, most people suppress their TH1 response by dumping undigested food proteins into the blood through leaky gut. This is why after stopping prescription antifungals, antivirals, and antibacterials, usually before fully eradicating hidden pathogens that are now dormant, infections return, often with increased resistance to therapy. The proper immune response cannot complete the job and the pathogens reappear.
“The stomach is the mother of all body systems” – Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC.
“Stomach” meaning “digestion” is the first line of defense and offense as prevention. A well-nourished body is capable of handling all attacks with the proper immune responses.
THE MUCOUS LINING
The mucous membrane lines the ducts and cavities that communicate with the air and the outside environment and consists of a superficial layer of epithelium, a basement membrane, and an underlying layer of connective tissue (lamina propria). It extends from the nose to the rectum, lining the hollow organs and cavities of the body. It’s like a spider’s web where when one place is stimulated, the entire membrane reacts. For example, an offending food in the stomach, such as pasteurized milk, will cause a runny nose. An unpleasant odor can cause indigestion or vomiting.
Mucous membranes are usually colonized with friendly bacteria, eg lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidis which discourage colonization by pathogens. When these protectors are removed by immunosuppressive drugs such as antibiotics and certain foods (eg, white sugar and foods made from it), stress, chlorine, food preservatives, chemicals, environmental toxins, etc., then pathogens such as Candida albicans can adhere to the membrane and overgrowths, called candidiasis or yeast infections, occur.
Candida can now mycilise into a branch-like shape and eat holes in the mucosa, mutate into a vacuole to travel through the blood and re-attach to any weakened mucous membranes, ears, nose, throat, vagina, rectum and linings. of organs.
These holes in the intestinal lining create a “leaky gut” syndrome and also allow partially digested food, foreign proteins, and pathogens to enter the blood, triggering a necessary TH2 immune response. If the Candida is home to the tissues, then a TH1 response is needed, but may not occur. If you must fight an infection with a TH1 cell-mediated response, the TH2 response will slow down or completely stop the TH1 response, depending on your energy levels.
This is where the wheels find their way. Undigested food is an insult to injury, multiple times a day, and should be discontinued. Any food that comes out of those holes must be fully digested to minimize the TH2 response. And the holes must be healed by rebuilding the mucosa.
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MUCOSA
The pathogen making the holes must first be stopped. The “Seven Day Yeast Control” program is highly effective because it takes care of digestion. The holes are usually from Candida Albicans mycellising its way through the lining.
Candida has the same binding sites on the mucosa as the normal friendly inhabitants, L. Acidophilus and Bifidis, and simply by increasing the intake of friendly bacteria, Candida will not have any binding sites to attach to. Candida will be kicked out of the neighborhood. L. bifidis and other probiotics actually kill candida by producing hydrogen peroxide.
Oxygen therapies are the most effective Candida eradicators that do no harm. MMS and Dioxychloride used with colloidal silver and the “Seven Day Yeast Control” diet are the most effective, fastest and safest ways to meet this challenge.
Next, the membrane must be reconstructed. It is made up of proteins such as n-acetylglucosamine and mucopolysaccharides that are supplied by fully digested food, reassembled in the liver, and distributed to damaged areas. The liver needs to be cleaned out periodically in this toxic soupy environment we live in.
Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) provides safe, time-tested nutritional support for the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines.* DGL increases the production of mucin, a compound that coats and protects the digestive tract to provide immediate relief from occasional stomach discomfort.*
Foods with the nutrients that rebuild the mucosa are whole leaf aloe vera, raw butter, and buttermilk for butyrate.
Butyrate is produced by bifido probiotics that act on fiber and is essential to produce mucin, the mucous membrane and to rebuild the cell walls of the intestine.
The fat-soluble vitamin A, retinol (not beta-carotene) is for cellular structural integrity. Vitamin A also plays a vital regulatory role in the immune system.
Vitamin A deficiency leads to loss of hair cells in the lung, an important first-line defense against pathogens. Vitamin A promotes mucin secretion and microvilli formation in the mucosa, including the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin A regulates T cell production and apoptosis.

Vit-E for elasticity. Foods with vitamin E are fresh wheat germ oil, raw or sprouted seeds, nuts, and eggs.
Foods with vitamin A are fish liver oils, egg yolks, raw milk, liverwurst, cheddar cheese and cream. (Beta-carotene requires adequate amounts of Vit-B to convert to retinol and amino acids from fully digested protein.
If a person’s liver does not have enough nitrate nitrogen, supplements such as fat-soluble liquid vitamin A, butyrate, and amino acids can speed healing. Otherwise, clean the liver first. Take probiotics including Bifidis Longum and Bifidis Plantarum to promote a protective TH1 response, as well as L. Acidophilus and Bifidis which will begin to coat existing lining and new tissue.
In addition to providing a hiding place for Candida Albicans, food that passes over damaged tissue can cause an inflammatory response in the thyroid. Damaged tissue is susceptible to destruction by free radicals from oxidants. Increasing levels of the antioxidant glutathione with foods containing glutamine and selenium will provide immune protection and stimulate TH1 responses.
Foods with selenium: Brewer’s yeast, Brazil nuts, seawater, seaweed, garlic, mushrooms, shellfish, milk, eggs, cereals, and most vegetables.
MAX GXL is the best supplement for oral use to raise glutathione levels.
Xeneplex suppositories contain 200 mg of caffeine and 200 mg of glutathione for transmucosal absorption.
