A viewer asks: “My hemorrhoids have disappeared, following the clearing of the chronic Epstein Barr virus in my thyroid gland. Was there any connection?”

As surprising as it may seem, hemorrhoids are typically due to chronic viral infection, and that was the case for you. The same viruses causing your thyroid problem and the Crohn's disease were, equally, culprits leading to inflammation of the tissue in question, predisposing you to noticeable hemorrhoids and possible complications to worsen over time. If you think about the dynamics of a chronic war taking place where the immune system is on the march to attack invading pathogens, this often causes damage to cells and tissues of the body to produce side effects as collateral damage not due to the invading organisms themselves, but rather the body's own defenses. It is no wonder that rectal tissues, being at the interface between the body and the environment might be locations of heightened exposure to pathogens and vulnerable to a chronic infestation and a vigorous immune response getting underway. And that was the case here. The effective removal of viruses from your digestive tract that represented abnormal levels being harbored within cells and tissues is an extra blessing of your protocol work to remove the causes of your autoimmune disorders.
