E70 Why Your Supplements Aren't Working with Dr John Kim

Um, uh, can you explain really what cell danger response is, and then, um, and just how it's probably changed your approach to treating clients?

Yeah, absolutely.

So cell danger response is a coined term made by Dr. Robert Naviaux.

Uh, Dr. Ra- Naviaux, he's a, he's an MD PhD out of UC Davis, and the reason they came at this concept called cell danger response was to explain about the physical and, um, the biochemical manifestation that goes on within the autism spectrum disorder.

So many things in terms of explanation as to why a particular child end up having to go through injury, and second, why is it the fact that the child is not to get any resolution into the condition they're dealing with? So this is the main work that he was going through.

So he actually end up having to look at and explaining what's happening within the mitochondria.

Now, obviously that was a theory, but his, uh, meta- metabolomic lab is able to now see that there's actually truth behind that as well.

So what is the cell danger response? It's a evolutionary mechanism the body basically built into the itself to protect from particular threat.

And you're like, "What, what threat are we talking about, and why is it protecting it?" Well, the threat-wise, there are four ways of looking at the threat.

Looking about biological threats, so it look about viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi.

And then there's, uh, chemical issues.

Volatile gases, we're talking about glyphosates, heavy metals, and then different, um, solvents we're dealing with at this point in time.

Um, and then there are physical change, uh, physical stress as well.

UV radiation, right? You get a sunburn, that is a physical issues.

Getting a burn, you're getting injury, traumatic brain injury, all that, that's also a threat.

And then we also have to add, and now there's non-native EMF that impacts the physical issue as well, because people who have hypersensitivity problem, they feel like their body's vibrating next to a Wi-Fi signal, right? So these are all physical manifestation.

The last thing is psychological and emotional trauma leading into the issues here.

So what is this? So the threat end up having to be impacting how the cell's functioning.

How is that even possible? Is the fact that your mitochondria is not just about making ATP, right? It's also about, it's a sensing organ.

It senses, and m- as a master of the entirety of the, how the body's functioning at this point in time.

So what the reason that people are sick and getting worse is because of, you have an unresolved cell danger response onto the cells in the mitochondria, and the mitochondria is supposed to be dictating this whole healing cycle.

It's not able to get the resolution it's looking for.

So it's completely stuck.

So that's where cell danger response comes, the, the discussion comes in.

So instead of actually going through oxidative phosphorylation into making ATP, now the mitochondria is telling this, uh, o- other functions to go into glycolysis.
