MS does not always start dramatically. Often, the symptoms are subtle. Early signs of multiple sclerosis can include vision changes, numbness or weakness, balance problems, trouble walking, or memory issues. These symptoms may come and go, which can signal ongoing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Luis... show more

𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀: Are sinus problems causing you discomfort? You’re not alone. Sinus issues can affect people of all ages, and understanding their causes, symptoms, and solutions can make a big difference in your quality of life. 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀: Sinus problems often stem from various factors, including allergies, infections, environmental irritants, or structural issues in the nasal passages. Allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander can trigger allergic reactions leading to sinus congestion. Viral or bacterial infections can also inflame the sinuses, causing discomfort. Common Symptoms: 1. 𝗡𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: One of the most common symptoms is a blocked or stuffy nose. 2. 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲: Sinus inflammation can lead to pressure and pain in the face, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. 3. 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲: Thick, discolored mucus can be a sign of infection. 4. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲: Sinus headaches are often described as a constant, throbbing pain. 5.

One of the hardest things about FIP is that it doesn’t wave a giant red flag saying, “Here I am!” The symptoms can be subtle at first and often look like dozens of other illnesses. Also Brix didn’t have ALL of the symptoms. For Brix, it started with things that just didn’t seem like him. That’s what makes FIP so difficult. Some of the signs veterinarians look for include: Loss of appetite Weight loss Low energy or sleeping much more than normal A fever that won’t go away A swollen belly from fluid buildup (wet FIP) Trouble walking, wobbliness, tremors, or seizures (neurological FIP) Eye inflammation or vision changes (ocular FIP) Vets use the whole picture—symptoms, bloodwork, imaging, fluid analysis (when present), and ruling out other diseases—to make the diagnosis. Just a few years ago, an FIP diagnosis was almost always heartbreaking. Today, thanks to antiviral treatments, many cats are doing something that once seemed impossible, they survive. So far Brix is doing great. ❤️

I often speak about how root canal fillings can, in some cases, become a hidden source of stress on the body over time 🦷 The mouth is not separate from the rest of the body. It is deeply connected through the blood, lymph, and nervous system. When there are chronic symptoms, ongoing inflammation, or unresolved health concerns, it can be wise to look at the whole picture — including dental history. Sometimes the body whispers before it shouts. Paying attention to those subtle signals matters. This is shared for education and awareness only, not as medical advice. Always seek appropriate professional guidance for your personal situation. 🌿

Most people don’t think about brain health until something starts to go wrong. After helping Olympic athletes and NBA stars reach peak performance, we invited Dr Louisa Nicola onto the show to educate us on what’s really at stake… Dr Louisa is the founder of Neuro Athletics, a company that helps athletes and high performers train their brains like a muscle. Her work bridges the gap between neuroscience and performance - and she believes what she’s seeing is worrying. More people are walking around with underperforming brains, and most don’t even realise it. We think we’re tired or anxious but what we’re often experiencing is cognitive decline in slow motion. She explains why your 30s matter more than you think, and how both anxiety and diseases like Alzheimer’s often begin long before the symptoms appear.

Loose Stools and Vomiting can Uncommonly be the Symptoms of a HEART ATTACK The classical symptom of heart attack (myocardial infarction) is chest pain. However, chest pain may be absent in 8-33% cases of heart attacks. Heart attack, in a minority, may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and loose stools, mimicking diseases such as gastroenteritis or acid peptic disease. These symptoms are more common in inferior myocardial infarction, caused by blockage of right coronary artery. In patients presenting without chest pain, a diagnosis of heart attack is often missed or delayed. However, there should be strong suspicion of heart attack in people with risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, smoker, male gender, etc. When in doubt, an ECG and blood tests can confirm a diagnosis of heart attack. Timely diagnosis and treatment of heart attack can save lives. In case of actor Vikas Sethi, as per his doctors, he most likely suffered cardiac arrest during sleep (which was most likely caused by a heart attack). Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and fans.

🚨 SURPRISING TRUTH THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW: In just a few years we went from a few thousand medical labels… to 70,000. Why? Because the second they slap a new fancy label on your symptoms, Big Pharma can roll out a brand new drug to “treat” it. It’s not about healing you. It’s about creating customers for life. Dr. Lee Merritt just exposed one of the biggest ones: Multiple Sclerosis = parasites in the brain and spinal cord. Shown in 100% of autopsies. They don’t want you knowing the root cause… because a parasite cleanse doesn’t make them billions. The system is rigged. More labels = more drugs = more control. Wake up. Detox. Stop feeding the machine.

Groundbreaking Insight: The Gut-Brain Connection in Parkinson’s Disease For decades, Parkinson’s disease has been viewed as a neurological disorder—but what if the earliest warning signs begin in the gut, 20 years before symptoms appear? Dr. Sabine Hazan, a leading expert in microbiome research, reveals a critical link: - Chronic constipation often precedes Parkinson’s by decades. - Loss of smell (anosmia) is another early red flag. - Why? Dysbiosis—an imbalance in gut microbes—may be driving toxin buildup, inflammation, and neurodegeneration. The Microbiome Connection Parkinson’s patients show a distinct microbial signature. Emerging studies, including those from John Hopkins (Dr. Dutta) and China, demonstrate that fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) can improve symptoms—sometimes restoring bowel function and even bringing back the sense of smell. What Does This Mean? - The gut isn’t just digesting food—it’s communicating with the brain. - Correcting dysbiosis early could delay or even prevent Parkinson’s. - At Progenabiome, Dr. Hazan’s team is decoding these microbial patterns to pioneer precision treatments. The Future of Parkinson’s Treatment? We’re on the brink of a paradigm shift. Restoring the microbiome may be the key to halting neurodegeneration—before it starts. Stay tuned. The gut-brain axis is rewriting medicine.

If you were asked what you wanted to be doing in the last decade of your life, you'd probably give the same answer as everyone else: Walking. The fastest way to lose your independence is losing your ability to walk. Take that in. In this new episode, Dr. Courtney Conley explains why your feet may be one of the most overlooked predictors of your future health, how walking speed can predict dementia years before symptoms appear, and why movement should be viewed with the same importance as eating, sleeping, and breathing. Most people spend more time thinking about supplements than they do the thing that will determine whether they're still moving freely at 80.

🚨 Everyone deworms but America… and it’s time we caught up. This powerful video exposes what most doctors won’t talk about: parasites are far more common than we’re led to believe. They can grow over a foot long, live in your body for decades, steal your nutrients, and trigger a laundry list of “mystery” symptoms. From brain fog and teeth grinding to bloating, anxiety, skin issues, and fatigue that won’t quit — these could be signs your body is hosting unwanted guests. I’ve been diving deep into natural parasite protocols, and the results people are seeing with herbal cleanses + binders are eye-opening. If you’ve been struggling with any of these symptoms and nothing else has worked… it might be worth exploring a cleanse.

Dr. Abhishek Shukla (Senior Geriatrician) in conversation with Dr. Rohit Kapoor (MCh Urology) a senior urologist, to discuss a very common problem seen in elderly men—weak urine flow, frequent urination, and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.” Dr. Abhishek Shukla asked, “Many senior citizens complain that their urinary stream has become weak, urine comes drop by drop or intermittently, and they need to wake up multiple times at night to pass urine. Even after urinating, they feel that the bladder is not empty. What could be the reason?” Dr. Rohit Kapoor explained that these symptoms are most commonly related to the prostate gland. The prostate is a small gland located below the urinary bladder and surrounds the urinary passage (urethra). As men grow older, the prostate often enlarges and can obstruct the urine flow. He explained that this enlargement may be Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), which is non-cancerous and very common with aging. In many cases, medicines can effectively control symptoms. However, an important point is that the size of the prostate alone does not decide treatment. A large prostate does not always need surgery if symptoms are controlled with medicines. On the other hand, even a smaller prostate can cause severe blockage and may require surgery if medicines fail. Dr. Kapoor also emphasized the importance of PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) testing for men above 50 years of age. Along with ultrasound and uroflowmetry, PSA helps detect prostate cancer early. He advised that every man above 50 should get a PSA test yearly. Dr. Abhishek Shukla concluded by reminding viewers that urinary problems should never be ignored. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve quality of life. Modern treatments, including advanced robotic surgery, now offer safer and highly precise solutions. #UrinaryHealth #Urology #pelvichealth #Incontinence #OveractiveBladder #BladderControl #BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) #ProstateHealth #enlargedprostate #urinarytractinfection #uti #bladderhealth #urinarysystem #urology #urinary #urinaryincontinence #womenshealth #healthylifestyle #bladder #urologist

"100% Of Dead MS Patients Autopsied Had Parasites. Some Of Them Grossly Visible To The Naked Eye." Dr Lee Merritt, MD "Organized Medicine Stops At The Diagnosis, Never Acknowledging Or Treating The Root Cause." "Another Tactic To Keep Us Sick & Die Prematurely." "We make it sound in organized medicine, that if we can label something, we really understand it." A perfect example is Multiple Sclerosis. A diagnosis based on plaques found in the brain & the spinal cord. Upon diagnosis by organized medicine, that's as far as the root cause healing goes. No one is asking, "but what causes MS, what causes the plaques?" The next step is never taken to ascertain what causes Multiple Sclerosis. Groundbreaking research by pathologist Dr Alan Macdonald, MD FCAP, from Naples Florida has confirmed that the plaques in the brain & spinal cords of MS patients are parasites. 100% of the dead Multiple Sclerosis patients that he had autopsied had parasites in the brain & spine. Some of them grossly visible to the naked eye. "We have accepted that the 'smart people' of the universities were paying attention to this. We are learning that they weren't paying attention." "This can't be by accident. After decades of medicine & seeing them telling us things that are completely wrong over & over & over again, you finally wake up & realize this is not by accident. This is a long term calculated plan to keep us sick & to kill us prematurely." Dr. Alan MacDonald’s work revealed that every MS patient studied had parasites in their brain & in their spinal fluid — and inside those parasites, they found Borrelia bacteria (the bacteria linked to Lyme disease). This means that: *⃣ Parasites can invade the brain & nervous system *⃣ They trigger chronic inflammation & immune dysregulation *⃣ They can carry bacteria like Lyme deeper into tissues *⃣ Parasites + infections is the root cause in MS These plaques, clearly seen on MRI & CT scans, are actually parasitic infections, hiding in plain sight. We’ve been told MS is just the immune system attacking itself, but what if the immune system is actually responding to infections & parasites? It’s time to ask better questions about chronic illness — and start looking at the role of parasites in neurological disease. 👇Parasites Cause Demyelination In MS👇 👇Parasitic Worms In MS Cerebrospinal Fluid👇 👇MS Autopsies Reveal Parasitic Infections👇 Speaker: Dr Lee Merritt Video: @1_GODSOLDIER

BAN HQ Medical Committee presents Diabetic Awareness - World Diabetes Day 2024. World Diabetes Day is observed every year on November 14th, marking an important opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes and advocate for better prevention, diagnosis, and management of the disease. The day became an official United Nations (UN) day in 2006. This year’s theme, "Access to Diabetes Education," underscores the need for better information and resources to help prevent and manage diabetes effectively. The Medical Team of Brothers across Nigeria (BAN) worldwide is proud to recognize World Diabetes Day by supporting the established framework for diabetes education, which includes: 1. Learning and Knowledge Sharing. 2. Prevention. 3. Identification and Treatment. UNDERSTANDING DIABETES Diabetes is a disease that results from excess sugar in the blood, causing serious health problems over time. The Types of Diabetes: 1. Type 2 Diabetes: The most common form, accounting for about 90% of cases. It occurs when the body doesn’t use insulin effectively or doesn’t produce enough. 2. Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune condition, usually diagnosed in childhood, where the body cannot produce insulin. 3. Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and usually goes away after childbirth, but it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. 4. Prediabetes: A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes. 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes, highlighting the need for early intervention and lifestyle changes. SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES The symptoms of diabetes vary, and some people (especially those with prediabetes, gestational diabetes, or type 2 diabetes) may not experience symptoms at all. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms usually appear quickly and are more severe. Common symptoms include: I. Increased thirst or urination II.Fatigue III. Blurry vision IV. Slow-healing sores or infections RISK FACTORS A variety of factors contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, including: Age and genetics, Lifestyle factors:, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and smoking increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. Social factors: Access to healthy food, healthcare, and safe spaces for exercise also play a significant role in managing and preventing diabetes. Race and Ethnicity: People from certain racial or ethnic backgrounds, including Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian American populations, are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. Discrimination and stigma: These factors can exacerbate the challenges faced by marginalized communities in managing diabetes. COMPLICATIONS When diabetes is not properly controlled, it can cause serious and even life-threatening complications, including Heart disease and strokes, Nerve damage (neuropathy), Kidney damage, Eye problems, Foot issues, Skin and mouth infections, Hearing loss, Memory issues, Depression and Anxiety. PREVENTION Preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes is possible through early lifestyle changes. The following strategies can help reduce the risk of developing diabetes: 1. Eat a Healthy Diet 2. Get Active 3. Maintain a Healthy Weight 4. Quit Smoking 5. Limit Alcohol Intake 6. Get Regular Checkups 7. Manage Stress 8. Sleep Well CONCLUSION World Diabetes Day is an important reminder of the growing global impact of diabetes and the urgent need for education, awareness, and action. This year’s theme highlights the critical need for better information and resources to prevent and manage the disease. By focusing on education, early detection, and lifestyle changes, we can work together to reduce the burden of diabetes and create a healthier future for all. #BANWorldwide, #BrothersAcrossNigeria #WorldDiabetesDay, #WDD2024, #DiabetesAwareness, #KnowYourNumbers, #DiabetesPrevention, #14November, #AccesstoDiabetesCare

"Most of the people I've seen with #MECFS are so much sicker than my cancer patients." Dr. Fridbjörn Sigurdsson, a former medical oncologist now focused on ME/CFS, speaking at the 2025 Invest in ME conference. Research indicates that for many, severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) can cause a lower quality of life, greater functional impairment, and more daily disruption than many cancers or multiple sclerosis. Patients with ME/CFS often report being bedbound, experiencing severe pain, and having little to no available treatment or path to remission. Key Findings on ME/CFS Severity: Quality of Life: Studies have shown that people with ME/CFS have lower quality of life scores than those with various cancers, stroke, or heart attacks. Daily Functioning: Approximately 25% of people with ME/CFS are severely affected, often housebound or bedbound. Comparison to Cancer: While cancer treatments are intense, they often have a defined endpoint, whereas ME/CFS is frequently a long-term, disabling, and ongoing condition with limited treatment options. Impact on Life: The illness can be so debilitating that it leads to a total loss of ability to work, socialize, or perform basic daily tasks like washing or eating. Severe Symptoms: In severe cases, patients may require tube feeding and live in darkness due to light and sound sensitivity. While cancer remains a highly fatal disease, the chronic, unpredictable, and unsupported nature of ME/CFS leads to extreme, long-term impairment that some sufferers and experts describe as sometimes feeling "worse" due to the lack of effective, universally available treatments

Dr. Fridbjörn Sigurdsson, a former medical oncologist now focused on ME/CFS, speaking at the 2025 Invest in ME conference. Research indicates that for many, severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) can cause a lower quality of life, greater functional impairment, and more daily disruption than many cancers or multiple sclerosis. Patients with ME/CFS often report being bedbound, experiencing severe pain, and having little to no available treatment or path to remission. Key Findings on ME/CFS Severity: Quality of Life: Studies have shown that people with ME/CFS have lower quality of life scores than those with various cancers, stroke, or heart attacks. Daily Functioning: Approximately 25% of people with ME/CFS are severely affected, often housebound or bedbound. Comparison to Cancer: While cancer treatments are intense, they often have a defined endpoint, whereas ME/CFS is frequently a long-term, disabling, and ongoing condition with limited treatment options. Impact on Life: The illness can be so debilitating that it leads to a total loss of ability to work, socialize, or perform basic daily tasks like washing or eating. Severe Symptoms: In severe cases, patients may require tube feeding and live in darkness due to light and sound sensitivity. While cancer remains a highly fatal disease, the chronic, unpredictable, and unsupported nature of ME/CFS leads to extreme, long-term impairment that some sufferers and experts describe as sometimes feeling "worse" due to the lack of effective, universally available treatments

Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain all over the body, often making people feel stiff in the mornings, tired, and mentally foggy. It can also lead to stomach problems, Dr. Sean Mackey explains. Doctors used to diagnose it by checking for "tender points" on the body, but now they look at other signs like pain in multiple areas and how severe the symptoms are. While it used to affect mostly women, more men are being diagnosed with it now. Another big issue with fibromyalgia is sleep. People with it often can’t get deep, restful sleep, which makes everything harder to manage. We don’t fully understand why fibromyalgia happens, but it’s clear that it’s a serious challenge, especially for women.

Dr. Peter Glidden: Most "Diseases" Aren't Diseases at All — They're DEFICIENCIES! You don’t get sick because of bad luck, genetics, or random viruses. You get sick because your body is STARVING for the essential nutrients it needs to heal and function properly. Your body has an incredible, God-given ability to repair itself — but only if it has the raw materials (vitamins, minerals, and proper nutrition). When those are missing? Symptoms appear. Doctors label them "chronic disease." Pills mask the symptoms. The real problem? Deficiency. Think about it: - High blood pressure? Magnesium & Potassium shortage. - Fatigue, pain, inflammation? Missing key minerals. - Weight issues, digestive problems, even "incurable" conditions? Nutrient gaps. Conventional medicine treats the symptoms, not the cause. Meanwhile, your body is screaming for what it’s been robbed of by processed foods, poor soil, and modern lifestyles. The fix isn’t another prescription. It’s education. Real food. Targeted nutrition. Lifestyle changes that restore what’s missing. Stop treating symptoms. Start fixing deficiencies. Your body can heal — if you give it what it actually needs.

3 Main Types if Parasites 🪱 Protozoa, Helminths & Ectoparasites Protozoa:-Amoeba. Move by pseudopodia. Trematodes-Leaf-like unsegmented Cestodes-Tape-like segmented Tapeworms/Roundworms - have a series of hooks they use to attach to the intestine to get nourishment from the host, & can grow up to 30+ feet Flukes- invade the nervous system secondarily after blood, liver, intestinal, or pulmonary infection & can stay in the human body for 10-20 years The Tapeworm develops into adulthood in about a month and can live up to 30 years. In the small intestine, an adult worm attaches to the intestinal wall. The eggs of the tapeworm leave the body through the rectum. Thus, a person is constantly at risk of infection. You may become infected when you eat raw, lightly salted, poorly cooked or fried fish, pork, or beef. There are two types of infections that can develop depending on the route of infection – cysticercosis, and taeniasis. The signs of intestinal infection mostly run without complaints. Rarely, tapeworms can cause intestinal obstruction. In this case, acute abdominal pain occurs and the patient needs surgery. However, if tapeworm larvae have migrated out of your intestines and formed cysts in other tissues, they can finally lead to organ and tissue damage, resulting in allergic reactions to the larvae, headaches, cystic masses or lumps, as well as neurological signs and symptoms (including seizures). Do you have 3 or more of these common signs & symptoms? - Headaches - Brain fog - Grinding teeth - Heart palpitations - Anxiety/depression - Aches/joint pain - Increased hunger - Circles under eyes - Insomnia/poor sleep quality - Iron-deficiency/anemia - GI issues - Acne/other skin issues such as a rash, eczema, dandruff (itchy scalp) or psoriasis If you can say YES to 3 or more…. COMMENT DEWORM BELOW FOR OUR PROTOCOL ⬇️

🚨 THIS ISN’T NORMAL FOG - PEOPLE ARE REPORTING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND “ODD FEELINGS” AT THE SAME TIME A man in Mississippi says this is the third day in a row his area has been covered in thick fog - something locals say they almost never see like this. What makes it unsettling isn’t just the fog. It’s what’s happening alongside it. For over a month, he says he’s experienced daily headaches, nausea, and a constant off feeling that won’t go away. He’s been to the doctor. He’s been to the eye doctor. Tests come back normal. No explanation. “I literally have a headache right now, and that’s unusual for me.” Similar fog reports have popped up across parts of the South. At the same time, people are describing the same physical symptoms - headaches, nausea, brain fog - with no clear cause. When environmental changes line up with physical symptoms across regions and there’s no official explanation, people stop calling it random and start asking different questions. What’s more believable: millions of people suddenly imagining symptoms… or something actually being in the air?

Dr. Sabine Hazan drops a chilling truth: Parkinson's and Alzheimer's symptoms often start in your gut—up to 20 years BEFORE brain issues show up. In this clip, she explains: - Constipation can be an early Parkinson's red flag (20+ years prior). - Gut dysbiosis is a massive early hint. - Long COVID, chronic fatigue, Lyme—many trace back decades: appendicitis (loss of microbiome reservoir), antibiotics, infections… a domino effect that quietly builds until the body collapses. - “It doesn’t start overnight. It’s been accumulating… one domino falls, hits the next, until the whole set is down.” The microbiome isn’t just “gut health”—it’s potentially the earliest warning system for neurodegenerative disease. If gut issues are the first domino… what’s one early gut symptom you’ve noticed in yourself or someone close that you now wonder about?

Deworming is trending for a reason… and honestly, it should be. Parasites are at the root of so many chronic issues — some that last a lifetime if left unaddressed. That “one medicine” (you know the one 💊) might help in some cases, but it’s not the end-all solution it’s made out to be. Here’s why ⬇️ 🪱 It doesn’t target every stage of the parasite life cycle 🪱 It can’t touch eggs — which is why symptoms often come right back 🪱 It’s not effective against flukes or tapeworms 🪱 And it does nothing for the heavy metals parasites hold onto If you really want to cleanse the right way, you need a full-spectrum approach that: ✅ Works on all 4 major parasite types ✅ Clears eggs, larvae + adults ✅ Supports drainage + binds toxins ✅ Helps detox heavy metals ✅ Uses real, organic ingredients — not synthetic junk This is the protocol I personally use and trust. If you’re going to cleanse, do it right the first time so you’re not stuck with die-off symptoms or reinfection. 👇 Drop PROTOCOL in the comments or head to to download our free health ebook.
