What Is Sarcoidosis? And How to Fight it.
In the following reports you are going to learn about sarcoidosis, and autoimmune diseases in general. Including many things your doctor never told you probably because he didn't know them. You’ll learn what may be happening to your body when you have sarcoidosis. What the underlying causes of it may be. And what may need to be considered in attempting to deal with it. You will have a better understanding of sarcoidosis after reading these reports. Sarcoidosis shares much in common with other autoimmune diseases. Research on any particular one usually, but not always, applies to the other autoimmune diseases. They have similar underlying causes and conditions, and consequently similar ways of dealing with them. The main symptom that labels an autoimmune disease as sarcoidosis is a type of inflammation with granulomas. Most commonly they are found in the lungs, skin, lymph nodes, liver or spleen. Often they go away after a few years but even if they do that, they can come back later with a vengeance. Some of the latest research has shown that it is bacteria in the granulomas that initiate and cause sarcoidosis. So this is definitely one autoimmune disease where antibiotics or supplements that kill bacteria or help the body to better kill bacteria can play a vital role. These bacteria produce vitamin D. So people with sarcoidosis may suffer from vitamin D toxicity. Especially if they are out in the sun a lot, drink vitamin D fortified milk, or take supplements with vitamin D. This is completely different than an autoimmune disease like MS where there is usually not enough vitamin D. It may be advisable to test your vitamin D levels. If they are high drastically limit exposure to the sun and refrain from taking anything with added vitamin D. After several months elevated vitamin D levels would then start to level out. You may experience Sarcoidosis in almost any part of your body, although it usually affects some organs more than others. It usually starts in one of two places: - Lungs
- Lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes in your chest cavity
Sarcoidosis also often affects your: Less often, sarcoidosis affects your: - Spleen
- Brain
- Nerves
- Heart
- Tear glands
- Salivary glands
- Bones and joints
Rarely, sarcoidosis affects other organs including your: - Thyroid gland
- Breasts
- Kidneys
- Reproductive organs
Sarcoidosis almost always occurs in more than one organ at a time and Sarcoidosis has an active and a nonactive phase. - In the active phase, the granulomas form and grow. In this phase, symptoms can develop and scar tissue can form in the organs where the granulomas occur.
- In the nonactive phase, the inflammation goes down and the granulomas stay the same size or shrink but, the scars may remain and cause symptoms.
The course of the disease varies greatly among people. - In many people, sarcoidosis is mild. The inflammation that causes the granulomas may get better on its own. The granulomas may stop growing or shrink. Symptoms may go away within a few years.
- In some people, the inflammation remains but doesn't get worse. You may also have symptoms or flare-ups and need treatment every now and then.
- In other people, sarcoidosis slowly gets worse over the years and can cause permanent organ damage. Although treatment can help, sarcoidosis may leave scar tissue in the lungs, skin, eyes, or other organs. The scar tissue can affect how the organs work. Treatment usually does not affect scar tissue.
Changes in sarcoidosis usually occur slowly (e.g., over months). Sarcoidosis does not usually cause sudden illness. However, some symptoms may occur suddenly. They include: - Disturbed heart rhythms
- Arthritis in the ankles
- Eye symptoms
In some serious cases in which vital organs are affected, sarcoidosis can result in death. Sarcoidosis is not a form of cancer. There is no known way to prevent sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis was once thought to be a rare condition but it is now known to affect tens of thousands of people throughout the United States. However, because many people who have sarcoidosis have no symptoms, it's hard to know how many people have the condition. Sarcoidosis was identified in the late 1860s. Since then, scientists have developed better tests to diagnose it and have made advances in treating it. What Causes Sarcoidosis? The cause of sarcoidosis is not known and there may be more than one cause behind it. Scientists think that sarcoidosis develops when your immune system responds to something in the environment (e.g. bacteria, viruses, dust, chemicals) or perhaps to your own body tissue (autoimmunity). Normally, your immune system defends your body against things that it sees as foreign and harmful. It does this by sending special cells to the organs that are being affected by these things. These cells release chemicals that produce inflammation around the foreign substance or substances to isolate and destroy them. In sarcoidosis, this inflammation remains and leads to the development of granulomas or lumps. Scientists have not yet identified the specific substance or substances that trigger the immune system response in the first place. They also think that sarcoidosis develops only if you have inherited a certain combination of genes. More research is needed to discover what causes sarcoidosis but we do know that you can not catch it from someone who has it. Here are some general symptoms of autoimmune diseases that are thought to be connected to Sarcoidosis.
Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases Spouses and family members, even though someone may look perfectly healthy, if they have an autoimmune disease, they are truly ill. It is not in their head. The following symptoms are common in many, if not all, autoimmune diseases. Fatigue: It’s not a good fatigue, from working hard, but an anxious, uncomfortable fatigue related to lack of sleep. Or a disruption of the energy production mechanism in cells, either from lack of oxygen, increased toxicity, infections or a malfunction of the mitochondria. Sleep Disturbance: About 80% may wake up three or four times a night, or in some cases you don’t wake up, but in the morning you still feel like a truck ran over you. The reason for this is that subliminal seizures kick you out of stage 4, Delta sleep, to stage 1 sleep so you can’t sleep deeply and wake up not rested. Short Term Memory Loss: Because of the low thyroid and heart complications typical in autoimmune diseases, there is a decrease in blood flow to the left lobe of the brain causing an oxygen deficiency in the brain. This can lead to the memory loss and forgetfulness that is common in autoimmune diseases. Emotional Liability: Someone may cry more easily, be more anxious and fearful. This is caused by the illness, and is not a psychological reaction! Depression: As with the emotional symptoms, the hypothalamus is involved. This is not clinical depression, but literally has a physical cause that is sometimes experienced as a deep depression right in the heart. Low Thyroid Function. About 85% have this symptom, but only about 10% of the time does it show up on a typical thyroid test. If you get tested, have both a T3 and T4 done. About 10% have excessive hair loss. For most everyone, a poorly performing thyroid will show up as subnormal temperatures. Gastrointestinal Problems: About 75% have this symptom. Can be anything from gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea or constipation to hiatal hernia, irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s Disease. Sometimes taking a simple homeopathic remedy like arsenicum album, 6x or 6c and make a difference with this. Swollen Glands, Chemical Sensitivity, and Headaches: Allergies often develop, usually after 3 to 5 years. Eyes can be light sensitive for 6 months or longer. Dry eyes can develop. About 20% experience a very uncomfortable disequilibrium of vertigo, almost an out of body feeling that can be most disconcerting. Pain and Fibromyalgia: Often diagnosed as a separate illness, fibromyalgia is basically a symptom that can occur with any autoimmune disease. If you have it, you’ve got pain. Often in the neck and in shoulder muscles extending down the back. Can be in the joints and muscles also. Low Blood Sugar. Candida Yeast Infections: These are very common. Check your tongue. If it has a white coating, you have it. Or take the spit test you will read about later. Women may get vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida overgrowth. A Candida infection on its own can cause a number of autoimmune type symptoms. Sinus infections often are caused by Candida. Tingling hands. Ringing ears. Cold toes. Cold fingers. Metallic taste in mouth. Caused by poor circulation and who knows what. Overdoing: You over-exercise or overwork when you feel good, and then feel worse for days afterward. This can cause serious problems. In healthy people the body shuts down when the anaerobic threshold is reached as a lot of pain is experienced. This warning does not occur if you have an autoimmune disease. Instead, the body continues to exercise and experiences no pain as the lactic acid builds up, and the body ends up recirculating carbon dioxide. This is not a healthy thing to have happen to you. It is important not to push too hard when you start recovering, or this will set you back and wipe you out. Fluttering Heart. Panic Attacks. Rapid Heartbeat. Mitral Valve Prolapse. Usually blood pressure is low, though it can get high later on. The heart under-pumps blood because it is getting incorrect messages from the autonomous nervous system. The body’s feedback loop picks this up and over-reacts. And you get these symptoms. If you have autoimmune illness, it is not likely you have all these symptoms. However, you will have many of them to one degree or another. This information is for educational purposes only. I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice on how to treat autoimmune conditions, but information to help you understand them.What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Sarcoidosis? Many people who have sarcoidosis have no symptoms or general symptoms that seem unrelated to Sarcoidosis. Often, the condition is discovered by accident only because a person has a chest x-ray for another reason, such as a pre-employment x-ray. Some people have very few symptoms, but others have many. Here is a rundown of symptoms that occur with Sarcoidosis according to which organ is affected. You may have one or many of these symptoms depending on the severity of the disease. Lung Symptoms When Sarcoidosis affects your lungs it produces symptoms such as shortness of breath or wheezing. You may have a dry cough that doesn’t bring up phlegm, and on rare occasions a pain in the middle of your chest that gets worse when you breathe deeply or cough. Lymph Node Symptoms Lymph node symptoms include enlarged and sometimes tender lymph nodes—most often those in your neck and chest but sometimes those under your chin, in your armpits, or in your groin. Skin Symptoms Various types of bumps, ulcers, or, rarely, flat areas of discolored skin, that appear mostly near your nose, eyes, back, arms, legs, and scalp. They usually itch but aren't painful. They usually last a long time. Painful bumps that usually appear on your ankles and shins and can be warm, tender, red or purple-to-red in color, and slightly raised. This is called erythema nodosum. You may have fever and swollen ankles and joint pain along with the bumps. The bumps often are an early sign of sarcoidosis, but they occur in other diseases too. The bumps usually go away in weeks to months, even without treatment. Disfiguring skin sores that may affect your nose, nasal passages, cheeks, ears, eyelids, and fingers. This is called lupus pernio. The sores tend to be ongoing and can return after treatment is over. Eye Symptoms Eye symptoms include burning, itching, and tearing pain. Your eyes may appear red and dry and may be sensitive to light. Anything affecting your vision may also be a symptom of sarcoidosis. Heart Symptoms Shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing can indicate symptoms of sarcoidosis. Irregularities with your heart such as palpitations, skipped beats, or an irregular heartbeat are also sarcoidosis symptoms. Sarcoidosis has symptoms in almost every organ in your body. Look for pain and swelling in your Joints and Muscles. Painless holes in your bones or painless swelling, mostly in your fingers are Bone Symptoms. Liver Symptoms include pain in the upper part of the abdomen, under the right ribs, along with fever, fatigue, and itching. Nervous System symptoms are headaches, vision problems, or weakness or numbness in an arm or leg. These also are Pituitary Gland symptoms. Paying attention to your body and noticing any irregularities is the first line of defense against Sarcoidosis. These general symptoms are often caused by other conditions. If you have these general symptoms but don't have symptoms from affected organs, you probably do not have sarcoidosis. Now after giving you information about this complicated autoimmune condition we will recommend different products that we feel will help treat and heal Sarcoidosis.
We suggest using the following list of supplements to help with Sarcoidosis. Suggested Products - 1 Month Supply - 1 bottle monthly Quanzor - The water in Quanzor has been infused with the quantum energetic particles that ultimately form physical reality, supplying a universal energy that greatly enhances your health. Quanzor may disrupt and kill pathogens and unwanted cells which have low energetic levels, by raising these levels to a vibration in which they cannot be sustained. Quanzor comes in a 2 ounce dropper bottle..
1 bottle monthly Omni Essential Oil Elixir Contains a combination of different oils: one or more of almond, sesame or grape seed combined with the essential oils of cedar, pine and vervain. The vegetable oil functions as a base for the essential oils in order for better mixing in a solution. Also included as ingredients in the OMNI Elixir formula are homeopathic minerals: zinc, manganese, tin, copper and cobalt. These minerals provide important immune system and anti oxidant properties. OMNI achieves its effectiveness because of patent pending technology used to refine the oils. This technology makes the oils more absorbable and increases their functionality. Tests at a very high 13,941 for killing pathogens that cause Sarcoidosis. By improving functionality of natural killer cells and boosting performance of the immune system in general. 1 container monthly MSM Powder High levels of MSM give great pain relief. It oxygenates cells, is an excellent detoxifier, so start with small doses and work up. Can kill parasites and unwanted cells. Helps the skin and lungs become softer and more flexible. And is highly anti-inflammatory. This is a two pound container of 99.95% pure MSM powder. The best way to cost effectively take the 20 to 30 grams a day needed for optimal therapeutic results. Approximately 2 or 3 level measuring tablespoons a day. 3 bottles monthly OxyDHQ A bit stronger than the original OxyE. It is fortified with 15% sea-ormus, 84 minerals, 39 enzymes, dissolved oxygen (from D2So4 in solution at 6%), DHQ (Dihydroquercetin from Siberian Larch) and Vitamin C. In the body, OxyDHQ stimulates the on going process of oxidation and reduction. During this process, the release of free oxygen and hydrogen will help to stabilize toxic elements in the body by polar bonding and electrical charge. The toxins are then soluble and can be eliminated by the body. It assists in bringing the pH level to a neutral 7 as well. For sarcoidosis it serves two primary functions. It will detoxify your body. And it will kill the pathogens, especially the bacteria causing the sarcoidosis. If you would like to do more, try adding on one or or more of the following: 1 container monthly Fulvitea A new, improved, 30% larger Fulvitea. All-natural, energy-boosting nutrients designed for rapid absorption and immediate delivery.

1 bottle monthly Tachyon Minerals Science now shows us (and has proven) that the source of everything in the Universe, including the living chemistry that maintains life and health in the human body, consists of higher dimensional vibration with an infinite range of frequencies. The once theoretical existence of the space smaller than quantum particles, referred to as bosons, tachyons and gravitons, has been proven to exist by quantum physics. Tachyons are integral to the formation of matter from energy, they are one of the building blocks of the universe, and as thus the ability of Tachyon Minerals to deliver a concentration of tachyons to your body exerts a powerful healing influence on your body. One interpretation of what tachyon energy does is that it allows you to connect with the divine radiance of All That Is -- by acting as a "bridge" between the directly observable, third-dimensional reality and that of the transcendental, or higher, dimensions. Using the concept of "as within, so without", this bridge therefore allows you to experience the joy of your own, inner radiance, and a continuous flow of well-being in every moment, independent of the outer world. From the holistic point of view, to be fully healed there has to be integration on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Life may be thought of as a continuous spiral of order and chaos, to a higher level of order (through chaos or disease) to the next higher level, and so on. Everyone is experiencing this whether they are aware of it or not. Each new level of order is a new level of health. We only experience dis-Ease when we get stuck in the chaos without breaking through to a higher level of order. When people are very healthy, they do not spend a lot of time stuck in chaos. These tachyon energies enhance our ability to not get "stuck", and to move on to a higher level of order and vitality. Tachyon energy significantly helps us to make that move toward more radiant health. The developer of our specific tachyon energetic products has gone a step further in the manufacturing of Bosonic Tachyon Integration Technology (BTI Technology). Ordinary particles only exist at less than the speed of light. Tachyon consists of subatomic particles always exceeding the speed of light. Use of a hydrogen chamber energized with micro amounts of minerals in a solution of pure, pristine water, results in a concentrated expression of Tachyon Energy more specific in their effect than any other tachyon product currently available. The frequencies that manifest from the BTI Technology, moderated by the gravity field, will constantly increase the likelihood of better health and increased happiness. The minerals in Tachyon Minerals act like permanent "antennas". These antennas transmit a broad range of frequencies to bring about healing and transformation of the human condition. Nothing except its sister product Quanzor, matches Tachyon Mineral's ability to heal even the most serious diseases. The Tachyon Minerals will work to bring your body back to homeostasis or health, away from illness and disease. The Tachyon Quartz and Healing Cloth work externally to introduce tachyon energies into your body. They are especially strong for pain relief. Fundamentally, using these products, both internally and externally, will help you achieve a higher level of contentment and feeling of connection rather than separation to life. Tachyon Minerals come in a 2-ounce dropper bottle. Ingredients: Less than 50 mcg of minerals and gems are in pure water. All are tachyonized, with the minerals and gems serving as tachyon antennas. 1 container monthly Glyco Ultra The blend of plant based ingredients in Glyco Ultra provides gyconutrient, healthy gut and nutritional support. Glyconutrients are very important to support the cell to cell communication system in the immune and nervous systems. At the same time, the gut is 50% to 70% of the immune system and also needs support to absorb glyconutrients. Additionally, key nutrients are necessary to support healthy cell activity. The Aloe Vera gel in a dried powder form provides galactomannans with a unique blend of plant sources not available elsewhere. This powder extract of Aloe Vera gel is easily mixed with water or juice. Galactomannans are the most important components in the body to support recognition and defense mechanisms in the immune system and for the brain to function at the highest level of coherence. Larch Tree powder extract provides pre biotic factors to support the growth of symbiotic bacteria as well as a healthy source of plant fiber. This results in the gut being able to absorb the high molecular weight form of galactomannans from Aloe Vera gel. The proprietary rice bran soluble powder in it contains well over 100 ingredients, including B vitamins, fatty acids and many different types of phytonutrients. All of these natural nutrients further support the immune system and healthy cell chemistry. This is an important upgrade to the aloe vera immune supplements with a combination of aloe powders and other glyconutrients to make it the most potent glyconutrient supplement we have yet found. Comes in the large size bottle only as is meant to be used for serious health conditions where you need the best, and a lot of it. Ingredients: Organic dried Aloe Vera gel, larch tree extract powder, soluble rice bran powder 2 bottles monthly Custom Elixir DOS (Detox Organ System) supplies vibrational energies that turn on and support all your detoxification organs, the liver, kidneys, colon, and lungs. Use 1 to 3 bottles a month. This is perhaps our strongest product for supporting the liver and kidneys. Can be used with the herbal formulations that also support these organs. Contains: Frequency enhanced purified water. For maintenance thereafter, use 1 bottle Oxy DHQ per month Good Luck and Good Health!
