Question
Dear Mr. Imran Rajan,
I am a 55 year old woman recently diagnosed with inclusion body myositis (I also have osteoporosis).My elder sister who also had this disease passed away 6 months ago. She had been a nurse for many years and was unsuccessful at finding any treatments that worked. I would like to know if transfer factor could be of help to me, also some advise on diet would be helpful also. The doctors have told me that this disease is not treatable. Other forms are treated with steroids & other medications which I would not like to use anyway.
Thank you I look forward to your answer.

Answer
My Dietary Recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy-sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Raw soy itself contains goitrogens which depress thyroid function. It also contains phytic acid which hinders the bodies' ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium,
iron and zinc. In general it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Next, please make sure to avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose have become very popular these days but are just as bad if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc. Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Soy and artificial sweeteners both weaken the immune system. And the immune system is the key to healing any illness. Therefore the more we can support immune related health, the better.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils. These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, pure coconut, sesame and virgin olive oils.

Best wishes,

Imran



Dear Katherine,

Thank you for your letter. I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I know IBM is considered by medical doctors to be incurable, however they do not know the whole story.

Let us analyze this:

IBM is an auto-immune disorder whereby the immune system is attacking the muscles.

-So IBM is an inflammatory muscle disease.

-Inclusion, refers to a cluster of material, anything that doesn't belong inside a cell.
-The prefix myo, refers to muscle, and the suffix itis, refers to inflammation.

-The root cause is the auto immunity. The Immune system being in a state of confusion and attacking the muscles, creating inflammation within the muscles.  

If we were to target the immune system and normalize immune functions using the transfer factor and some good nutrition, the immune failure would reverse and therefore immune related cells would no longer attack the tissue in the body. This results in the correction and healing of the illness. It is a simple science really.

All we need to do is address the immune system and correct it, and this will then solve the problem.

The transfer factor is the most advanced immune modulator known to natural medicine. I would recommend no other supplement in this category.

There is hope, much hope i tell you. You must have faith and a positive hopeful outlook every day, because when the mind is positive and expecting hopefully the body responds well. With the transfer factor used daily the results will be very good indeed.

Protocol;

Begin taking 1 capsule daily of the transfer factor advanced formula. Not the plus advanced formula, just the advanced formula. Take it before breakfast. Do this for 5 days. Increase then to 2 capsules daily for the next 5 days. Increase to 3 capsules and finally to 4 capsules daily. 2 twice per day. Continue with 4 daily.

Together with this it is important to take good nutrition.
I advise the fruta-vida product. It is best i have ever found. Take 1 ounce daily for the first 2 weeks, then increase to 2 ounces daily. Shake the liquid well before use, and keep it under your tongue for about 10-20 seconds before swallowing.

Have faith and much hope Katherine, for your body will heal. One way or another, it will heal on this protocol.

You must do a practice every night of sitting down and relaxing your mind and body; then imagine just for a few minutes that your body is 100% healed. Contemplate on this and feel that in this moment your body is completely healed and is healthy. Hold those feelings of positivity in you. Believe and imagine as clearly as you can and feel that it has really happened in this moment. Suspend disbelief and resistance just temporarily so you can practice this.

You will come to understand why i am advising you to do this. The results will be very positive indeed.

Please email me if you need anything else and stay in touch so that i may help you and advise you as needed.

Best wishes

Imran
