Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition caused by high antibodies to an antigen in cartilages and or joints.
RA and Osteoarthritis are the 2 most common forms of arthritis. These are considered incurable by medical
Science but that is not true.
First of all, all autoimmune diseases have 2 things in common - there is a target antigen and 2nd, as stated above it
is caused by high antibodies to the antigen Vimentin, which make up part of cartilage.
The diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis is positive when patients have high levels of antibodies to Vimentin

In other words, the presence of antibodies to vimentin in cartilage is the cause of RA
Actually T- Cell Therapy can treat and cure this condition.
How T Cell Therapy works:
Two blood cells in the immune system controls the level of antibodies.
1. Helper T cells lead to production of more antibodies
2. Suppressor T cells or Regulatory T Cell- function opposite to Helper cells - these lower antibody production.
They modulate the immune system, maintain tolerance to self antigens and prevent autoimmune disease.
Explanation here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_T_cell
The mechanism involved in lowering antibodies is called "Oral Tolerance".
The Oral Tolerance strategy can lead to increases in the levels of T Reg cells.
The Suppressor T Cell can reverse & fix autoimmune & immune disease and even the rejection of organ transplants.
OT is successful in animal experiments

Note: The article above states Success includes treating Arthritis!!!
The following experiment is how Oral Tolerance Therapy reversed arthritis
Suppression of type II collagen-induced arthritis by intragastric administration of soluble type II collagen
https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/83/19/7443.full.pdf
Oral Tolerance treatment in above article - researchers induced arthritis in mice by injecting them with type II collagen, then they created Oral Tolerance by feeding the same antigen – type II collagen to the animals.
Notice that the antigen
used to create arthritis in the mice is the same antigen used to cure the illness.
But Oral Tolerance is not successful in humans.
The Research by Dr. Polly Matzinger paved the way to success.
The T cell needs 2 factors or signals for full activation.
-
a peptide of the target antigen – aggrecan , the antigen primes or makes ready the T cell. But without the 2nd signal the T cell remains in anergy ( no activity).
-
Second signal is co-stimulation – is B7 also known as CD80 (B7-1) & CD86(B7-2) – either one is enough to make the T cell go thru the changes that makes it a fully activated cell.
Second Signal or Co- stimulation is explained at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-stimulation
Matzinger's discovery is called Danger Theory since the only drugs available in Modern Medicine that induce B7 production are vaccines, toxoids, etc., made from dangerous pathogens but produce toxic reactions, high fevers, inflammatory lymphokines and are dangerous for human use.
But Matzinger was not aware of a safe method of stimulating B7 production & this is through the use of herbs.
However, there is an obstacle, Pharmaceutical companies refused to use herbs because herbs are considered little or no profit.
This has resulted in OT experiments not progressing beyond. These situation has dominated all of the years of the nineteen hundreds and even beyond to two thousand.
But with time comes change & with that new possibilities and a new door is opened where there was none before.
In late 1980s and beyond, a new practice was observed. It was called Integrative Medicine.
Integrative Medicine - new graduate doctors of Medicine appeared using their training from Modern Medicine but these doctors also studied other modalities of healing -Example Acupuncture, Reiki , chiropractors, Ayurveda, Western Herbs, TCM herbs, and they included their knowledge of new modalities in treating patients. Today, these MDs are treating patients & are getting popular.
The reason for Integrative Medicine is patients want other methods of treatments because Modern Medicine does not have all the solutions. Modern Medicine with the new modalities are here to stay.
At present, there are new schools of Medicine & some include curriculum & subjects with
new modalities of healing stated above in their training.
It should be made known to everyone that one branch of Modern Medicine is using herbs and that is Stem Cell therapy.
The Fact is Stem Cell therapy has progressed far enough and is the medicine of the future. If people look over Stem Cell therapy, uses herbs and of drugs of herbal origin. In fact, hundreds of drugs new and old from plants are used in Stem Cell therapy and the reason is herbs are the only way to make cells work with safety.
Since 1.) Integrative Medicine is now part of todays practice and Modern Medicine
includes Stem Cell therapy with herbs, then the system should be ready & give way to combining OT with herbs for success.
Our Company created Lux Research to study B7 production stimulated by herb use.
The experiments found that during B7 induction by blood cells, inflammatory lymphokines are also generated & inflammation will result in failure too. This problem is solved by a second herb to inhibit the inflammation.
At this point, an OT formula is possible which contains the following:
1. vimentin peptide
2. herbs - 2 herbs are needed, the first to boost production of B7 and the 2nd herb to prevent production of inflammatory lymphokines.
How the formula works.
When RA develops, already there is a large number of Helper T cells that makes the immune system
produce antibodies to cartilage with vimentin as target antigen.
Oral Tolerance leads to proliferation of new Suppressor T cells, the new cells work against Helper T cells which delete each other, when Helper T cells are reduced, high antibodies to vimentin go down to normal, each course leads to improvement until complete healing.
Our company and formulas are part of Integratived Medicine. We call our formula the T Cell Therapy - the reason is everytime someone reads about Oral Tolerance, it has not been successful on humans, therefore T Cell Therapy is our treatment and it is successful.
The herbs take only 6 days for each course of treatment followed by 15 days of transition – meaning the body makes the necessary changes.
For mild cases 6 -9 courses
For moderate cases – about 10 – 14 courses.
For severe cases – 15 -19 courses of treatment.
Lux Research – a division of Lux Health Resources has done the research.
The healing rate is 68% - with 49% achieved total healing and 19% reporting partial healing. That 68% of healing are positive results considering these are for autoimmune cases where modern medicines are not effective.
The herbs take only 6 days for each course of treatment followed by 15 days of transition – meaning the body makes the necessary changes.
Is Oral Tolerance safe therapy for illness?
Yes, Dr. Howard Weiner, an authority on Oral Tolerance stated it is safe & good for treating autoimmune diseases.
