Episode notes
Containment Over Eradication
- Chronic symptoms often reflect long-term loss of the body's ability to contain microbes rather than a single acute infection.
- Restoring cellular and immune containment, not eradication, is usually the healing goal.
Doctor's Personal Health Turnaround
- Bill Rawls described his decade-long decline in health with heart symptoms, joint pain, brain fog, and gut issues before finding microbes like Borrelia.
- He finally improved after exploring holistic medicine and later discovering herbal protocols.
Four Cellular Operating Needs
- Support cellular needs: provide whole-food nutrients, reduce toxic exposures, ensure sleep, and increase blood flow with movement.
- Use autophagy (sleep/fasting) and exercise to help cells clear microbes and debris.
