Autoimmune Viral Trio Panel Explained by Dr. Aristo Vojdani PHD
Interviewer (00:00): Good morning, Dr. Woods Dani. Good morning. I recently heard that you came out with a new test called the auto immune viral trio panel. Can you tell me a little bit about this test? Dr. Vojdani (00:12): Um, as you...
Fact check: No definitive evidence COVID-19 vaccine causes autoimmune disease
The end of the pandemic may be nigh as more than half of adults across 25 states are fully vaccinated, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the end of one health crisis supposedly opens the door to another: autoimmune disease.
Chronic Exposure to Oral Pathogens and Autoimmune Reactivity in Acute Coronary Atherothrombosis
Background. It has been hypothesized that various infective agents may activate immune reactions as part of the atherosclerotic process. We aimed to investigate the interrelationship between chronic exposure to oral pathogens and immune-inflammatory response in...
Antibodies as Predictors of Complex Autoimmune Diseases and Cancer
The pathologic role of autoantibodies in many autoimmune diseases is widely accepted. An enzyme immunoassay was used for measurement of antibodies against disease-specific antigens and etiologic agents for cross-reactive antigens associated with them. This antibody...
Antibodies as Predictors of Complex Autoimmune Diseases
Emerging evidence has suggested environmental factors such as infections and xenobiotics and some dietary proteins and peptides in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases. Considering the fact that autoantibodies can often be detected prior to the onset of a...
Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins present throughout nature that act as agglutinins. Approximately 30% of our food contains lectins, some of which may be resistant enough to digestion to enter the circulation. Because of their binding properties, lectins can...
The Gut-Brain Axis: Autoimmune and Neuroimmune Disorders
The human body is an incredibly complex system, and from time immemorial, humans have struggled to work out what the gut and brain have to do with health and whether the 2 are connected. The parallels between the gut’s and the brain’s immune systems are too...
Immunological Reactivity Using Monoclonal and Polyclonal Antibodies of Autoimmune Thyroid Target Sites with Dietary Proteins
Many hypothyroid and autoimmune thyroid patients experience reactions with specific foods. Additionally, food interactions may play a role in a subset of individuals who have difficulty finding a suitable thyroid hormone dosage. Our study was designed to investigate...
