This episode explores the world of the immune system's response to pathogens and chronic infections. Dr. Kharrazian discusses the intricate mechanisms pathogens use to evade the immune system, leading to chronic infections and reactivations. He speaks on the impact of immune compromise, genetic factors, and other environmental influences on the severity of infections and autoimmune diseases. He also discusses the pivotal role of protein intake, the formation of antibodies, and the potential link between pathogen-induced inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
