Full Transcript 0:00 Thymus is where the immune system learns what is self versus non-self, what to attack versus tolerate. 0:09 So we always say yes, the thymous gland is kind of at the heart of autoimmune. 0:16 Welcome to the resiliency method, the truth about healing. 0:19 I'm Dr. 0:20 Erica and we are here to uncover the root causes keeping you stuck. 0:24 Together we'll restore your energy, your focus and your resiliency so you can finally heal, regenerate and feel truly alive again. 0:37 For decades, if you Google the thymus gland, you'd read the same thing. 0:41 It just shrinks up after childhood. 0:43 Not important. 0:44 Don't worry about it. 0:46 But that's not the full story. 0:48 Welcome to The Resiliency Method, the truth about healing podcast. 0:52 I'm Dr. 0:53 Erica. 0:54 The better question we're asking today is, is what is the one part of your body that could keep you from getting results? 1:01 Because recent studies analyzing thousands of cancer patients are now confirming something powerful, something that I've been saying for a long time, 1:13 have been really truly observing for many years and through over 50,000 clinical visits. 1:20 A healthy thymus gland is linked with a significantly lower risk of premature death and dramatically better outcomes in serious illness, 1:28 including cancer. 1:29 Today, we're breaking down why the thimus may be far more important than most people have taught, especially when it comes to immune resilience, 1:39 autoimmune conditions, cancer recurrence, and sustaining real healing progress. 1:45 If we keep treating symptoms without rebuilding the body's foundation, we miss the part that actually changes outcomes. 2:06 Welcome back, everyone. 2:07 It's Dr. 2:08 Erica here. 2:09 Thanks for joining us on The Resiliency Method, the truth about healing podcast. 2:13 I'm joined again today with Eric Turner, certified nutritionist. 2:16 Yes, welcome back. 2:18 And certified Nutritionist of the Resilliency method, practitioner, and myself, of course, we're going to talk today about a topic that's really important. 2:28 That I feel like one of things that our process, The resiliency method really highlights as a real core essential part of it and piece of that, 2:37 which is the healing of the thymus gland. 2:40 And this is a gland in the body located in a chest kind of butterfly shaped in nature. 2:46 Well, I don't want to confuse it with a thyroid. 2:48 I would say it's a very large bow tie. 2:51 Yes. 2:52 And it's located in your chest and we're going to talk about it to all things spinous gland. 2:57 This is a particular topic that I also teach other practitioners on because a lot of us are missing this clinic thing. 3:05 With patients, I know I did for a long time too, and it is really core essential to be analyzing and supporting and in our process we really actually rebuild it. 3:15 From ground up, because what we've seen clinically is that when we do that, it changes everything for the clinical outcomes, 3:23 the patient outcomes. 3:24 The things that we want to see improve over time. 3:27 And it's really the key to really overcoming autoimmune conditions, staving off on or, you know, keeping away from. 3:36 cancer recurrence and also in terms of neurogenitive diseases and neurocognitive issues as well. 3:45 So it's a big part of how we work with the body inside the context and process of the resiliency method. 3:52 And today we want to share a little bit more information in particular too because we feel like we've been on the forefront of this for a long time This 4:01 is a particular topic. 4:02 I know that as I was learning medicine, I never quite understood and would end up scratching my head on in terms of why I would look into the finest gland 4:12 and understand that it was really the core to our long-term immunity. 4:16 T cell production, and I could never find any information if you Googled it up until just really a few years ago. 4:24 You used to say, you know, oh, Dr. 4:25 Google would say it's not a big deal. 4:27 It's irrelevant after childhood. 4:31 Yeah, so you don't need it after your childhood, it just kind of this thing that just atrophies or goes away, shrinks up, 4:37 they call it involution. 4:39 And it's not important. 4:41 And we were seeing clinically that it couldn't have been more the opposite. 4:46 That when we unlocked the process of the resiliency method, that that really was a big piece of what was at the foundation of making our outcomes last longer, 4:59 patients getting more efficiency in their healing process. 5:03 Yeah, and then more recently that we've seen that two studies have been published. 5:08 And now if you look at, if look up the Thymus Plan or you see a different story and a lot of this probably has to do with some of the news. 5:17 Richard, I'm going to hand over you for a second to talk about one of these studies that has been recently cited. 5:22 We came across a guest in the New York Post Nature has published, I think, these studies. 5:29 They're referencing that. 5:30 But one in particular, you want to share what that one's about? 5:34 Yeah, that looks actually like about 3,000 cancer screening scans. 5:41 So it was using, basically analyzing scans that had already been done on cancer patients. 5:46 And what they found on those who said those, who had healthy finance plans or the health of the finance plan was relative to their outcome. 5:57 It's outcomes were very correlated. 5:59 So improve patient outcomes for those cancer patients as a healthier plans, the better. 6:07 Better they responded to treatment, and then better in terms of not getting, what better prognosis, right? 6:14 Yeah. 6:15 And they were already getting immunotherapy. 6:18 So that's why they're looking at the biolus, because the thymus gland relies, well, immunosynovary relies on T cells, so that trains T-cells. 6:27 Super, you know, correlated there. 6:32 That's how I hope these research shows. 6:34 so into this, looking at that. 6:37 And I think they were researchers at Mass General Brigham were using, they actually used AI to analyze 27,000 CT scans. 6:47 from two large population studies. 6:49 One came from the National Lung Screening Trial and one from a Framingham Heart Study. 6:53 Framingsham heart study will probably do another episode on that particular study one day because there's a whole lot that we can glean from that. 7:02 But when they went back and actually looked at some of those and analyzed some that information, they saw, and based on what you're talking about too, 7:09 the assigned a FIMIC health score. 7:11 And what they say is that patients with a high climate health score actually had a 50% lower risk of premature death from any cause and a 63% risk lower 7:24 of heart-related death and 36% of developing lung cancer. 7:31 So yeah, and then I think the one that you're talking about, we had outcomes was 37% low risk cancer progression specifically, 7:42 lower risk of death so you're talking about we just spit out a bunch of numbers for you all. 7:47 What you want to hear from that is population size, the one Merrick's referring to is 3,000, that's nothing to snuff about. 7:54 We're not talking 27 people, we're trying about 3 thousand used in that study and then when we were talking by the 1, I referenced the 27, 000 Bits of 8:04 information from looking at different CT scans. 8:07 Those are pretty significant numbers in terms of population size We're getting a good amount of data there. 8:13 And then we're also getting Pretty good percentages when you're talking about 50% That's one out of two, you know, like she has everyone to stand up and 8:23 you Yeah, yeah, this is pretty groundbreaking. 8:25 Honestly, it's what we've known For years now, it's just really validating to have that also being appropriated by science. 8:37 Absolutely. 8:39 Yeah, I think that's an important discussion to one of the things that we have an advantage of. 8:43 Hopefully, I don't know, i've done over 40,000 visits and that we should calculate how many things throw in your visits. 8:50 You know you get when you when, you touch that many patients over a period of time, start to see some of the patterns that are go along with inside the population. 9:00 And we can also see we bleed some of this information. 9:03 So sometimes we're ahead of the science because we are actually in the field, if you will, frontline, dealing with bodies and such. 9:12 And so we were starting to pick up and we doing it through, you know, a lot of 8K so were even a little more forefront beyond even where science takes 9:20 us but combining and seeing the combination for us in terms of bringing that clinical experience into the context of science is like a glory day and so 9:31 it's fun to see that come out. 9:32 But yeah I mean one of the easiest ways if you're a practitioner listening to this podcast I want to just give you a quick assessment tool. 9:39 I obviously use muscle testing so if your a muscle tester you can analyze it pretty easily. 9:44 But one of the biggest things to pay attention to is how you test it kinesthetically is not to place your whole entire hand over it. 9:51 You actually want to call it what we call a grid pattern. 9:53 And you kind of want start against the middle of, the body, midline of body. 9:59 Um, and you want it kind to go down and see if there's a muscle response change. 10:02 However, if you're not a Muscle Tester, you can just analyze to you just by pressing along the thymus gland, your patients will like react pretty sharply 10:12 and quickly when you hit an area that's probably non-optimal on their sternum. 10:17 Yes, and so it's a really effective way to actually analyze that particular body and see how you can support that further, 10:27 that thymos gland. 10:28 But that is definitely something that we pay attention to. 10:32 We know it is a core critical feature of just healing. 10:37 Are you tied to treatments, protocols, and gurus who promise results but don't deliver? 10:42 You're not alone. 10:44 For years, I struggled with my own long-term illness and I know how frustrating it feels when nothing seems to work. 10:50 That's why I developed the resiliency method. 10:52 It's a science-backed approach to combine the best of Western and ancient medicines to restore your body's natural intelligence. 10:59 Patient after patient has discovered what's possible, living stronger, brighter, and more spiritually connected than ever before. 11:08 Whether you're facing autoimmune issues, hormonal imbalances, weight struggles, or just feeling stuck, you don't need another quick fix. 11:15 You need a clear path forward. 11:17 Take the first step with a discovery call at drericaonline.com forward slash discovery. 11:22 That's D-R-E- R-I-K-A, online. 11:27 com forward, slash, discovery, Or dive deeper with the full initial consultation at Dr. 11:32 Erica online, because your health, your clarity, and your freedom cannot wait. 11:57 A beat up thymus gland, I mean, most of our patients come in to our clinic with beat-up thynus glands, and then most us, 12:02 we don't both. 12:03 I don' know if I've seen one, you know, since we've been able to analyze it better and more effectively. 12:09 But I know I see a patient that has never needed help and support with their... 12:14 And they might even be somebody that's not even that symptomatic in nature. 12:19 Yeah. 12:19 That's the important thing, too. 12:21 A lot of people, always call the people with autoimmune conditions the lucky ones, right? 12:26 They're the ones that oftentimes are waywardly finding themselves in our offices. 12:32 They've tried everything. 12:33 Um, they haven't gotten helped. 12:35 So we've unlocked a lot of those cases by, um, incorporating our process. 12:39 they're lucky in that they have symptoms that are like, you know, giving them signals to get help. 12:47 Whereas, people whose body isn't just adapted. 12:51 so well to the decline, it almost masks their actual true state. 12:59 It does. 13:00 And that's when we're talking about, a lot of times, high performers. 13:05 People that are high-performers are actually, oftentimes I was definitely can relate this, I think you can too, We are people that have really chronic 13:16 brain stuff going on in our bodies. 13:18 And so one of the things we can do is actually process information quickly, multi-tasks like no one else, and can really course through. 13:26 We're oftentimes in sympathetic dominance. 13:28 So we're high achievers, high accomplishers. 13:32 a million things at one time. 13:34 But what we don't see is the hidden, you know, inside of that is aging process itself. 13:40 And you can go down and look at where a lot of those people are starting to deal with more neurocognitive decline as they age and the thymus gland and 13:50 supporting that. 13:51 It's really a critical piece now. 13:56 You know, thymus is where the immune system learns like what is self versus non-self, what to attack versus tolerate. 14:05 Um, so we, we always say, yes, the thimus gland is kind of at the heart of autoimmune. 14:12 Absolutely. 14:13 But it's also because it training those T cells, which are the body's sentinels against cancer. 14:21 If they're, if you use the analogy like. 14:25 that the thymus gland is the boot camp for the military. 14:28 And if the thickness is not, you know, functioning properly and training those soldiers for military, um, it's either poorly training them or not. 14:40 Or there's just no training happening. 14:43 Then where, where is sentinel against cancer in the body? 14:49 And so the Thymis is such a huge role in that. 14:55 play out just in terms of restoring the thymus as like skyrocketing our patients' immune strength. 15:05 Right. 15:06 And we're not talking about it temporarily, we are talking the ability to sustain a healing result inside of how we work with the body. 15:15 The importance, you can talk about supplements all day, talk biohacks all-day. 15:19 If you don't treat and help support the healing of these organ tissues and glands, and in particular the thymus gland, you're really missing the ability 15:29 to sustain that healing and have a lasting result. 15:33 So we always talk about the use of supplements, but we're using it a little differently than a lot of practitioners are, 15:39 because we are not just going at it at a surface level, we really trying to improve the function of that organ, that tissue, 15:45 the gland in a particular case is the sinus. 15:49 Well, as important as the sinuses and how key it is and you know, what a key role it plays and it's not like right out of the gate. 15:56 We're like, okay, we're going to on day one, We are going work on your thymus gland. 16:01 It just doesn't. 16:02 we have to earn the right to get there with the body. 16:05 Yeah. 16:05 And oftentimes I will say that if I were up right out of the gates, perform, provide some sometimes we. 16:11 Have to navigate. 16:12 We're talking especially about people that maybe have suffered from long haul COVID situations or maybe had been vaccinated by the COVID vaccine. 16:20 Um, and definitely we've seen some of. 16:22 The impacts of you know, find this plan. 16:25 You know the conversation just to back up around that. 16:29 The conversation around the find-this-plan is that it's sort of always historically been just it just kind of goes to sleep, 16:35 if you will. 16:36 Somewhere around adolescence it is replaced by fat. 16:40 But if we really start to unwind some of the conversations in the science and the research itself is and what we've seen clinically is toxin exposure can 16:51 actually impact what's called the epithelial cells of Alzheimer's gland itself. 16:56 And so there may be some truth in that there's inhalation that happens or there is degradation that happened to the Alzheimer. 17:04 But it may not actually be what it's intended to do or we're accelerating it by introducing these toxins to body. 17:16 I think that's a big underpinning and theme of why we are seeing This is such an opportunity for people. 17:22 I mean, the, yeah, but explosion about all the disease and answer. 17:27 Really, I need goes back to how, how we are starting the childhood. 17:35 Absolutely. 17:36 And so I'm making volutions link to cellular and advanced cellular senescence. 17:41 and aging, so it speeds up the aging process, it increases oxidative stress levels in the body. 17:47 And we also, you know, are told that it's just supposed to decline with age. 17:53 We like to think, hey, if we support this thymus gland and actually turn it over, that tissue over in, the bodies starts to replicate from a healthier 18:01 weight print. 18:02 What does that really mean for us in terms of not only the health span of the quality of life? 18:07 But also our longevity and how long we live too. 18:10 So very important fundamental component to how we have to work with the body. 18:16 Yeah. 18:17 And I should back up and say it's not that we don't focus on thymus at all in the beginning because a lot of times we do have people coming in with such 18:23 beat up as we had to give it some support right off the mat. 18:26 Um, and we kind of along the way in our direction. 18:29 phases that we work in. 18:31 But I think we've got to get a lot of other stuff cleaned up before we can circle back and then really do deep sinus repair. 18:38 Order is important. 18:39 And we do sinus-repair really through all three phases of our process. 18:43 It doesn't just happen in the first few weeks. 18:47 No, because, you know, if you look at our patient Bonnie, everybody's immune systems are getting back online, essentially, 18:55 in phase one. 18:56 That's just the pressure taken off of that plant, really. 18:59 Absolutely. 19:00 I think that's one of the key differentiators of our phase one because in our three-phase process, we've always said that phase 1 is the one that probably 19:08 looks the most in terms of like other practitioners out there, I would say, in the sense of it's doing some terrain detoxification. 19:17 some superficial heavy metal clearing and parasites and things like that. 19:23 And other practitioners, at least the best practitioners out there are also doing some of those things with their patients. 19:29 But a lot of them aren't necessarily looking at the thymus gland at that stage, which is critical too. 19:35 Then of course, they don't go into the depth that we go in phase two and three. 19:39 but that's for another conversation. 19:41 But in any event, it's an important crucial piece and it is really important about discussion and why we're having this solely on the Thymus clan because 19:50 it so pivotal in terms of really our innate intelligence and we talk about that a lot. 19:56 in our practice is innate intelligence where bodies are made perfect in design. 20:01 And this is a great example of that. 20:03 How seeing where modern technology or modern environmental exposures are coming in and how they're having an impact on us. 20:11 Is there anything else you want to say about that? 20:16 I feel really lucky in the practitioner that we have, I think, pretty specialized tools to work with climate's land. 20:24 We have some supplements that Um, very specific to that. 20:28 Absolutely. 20:31 And essentially are kind of like, we're all we need, you know, DNA, the grits for the best that itself to yeah. 20:37 Yeah, from standard process. 20:39 We use that a lot for that plan. 20:42 Um. 20:42 and then what's a better question you think if you ask me wrap this conversation up that people should ask themselves about their systems. 20:51 Oh, gosh. 20:52 Well, I mean, the question, what if we're not looking at the right place for where the crux of all of this is? 21:02 What if Um, no, it's just like, Oh, take your vitamin C, you take her airborne. 21:07 You're sick. 21:09 It's your zinc deficient. 21:10 Yeah. 21:11 Even that we would say if you're only treating the virus, your only trading the. 21:17 The parasite you are missing a piece of the damage that's been done from these things. 21:22 And the particular only details are having metal. 21:25 They're missing up. 21:26 So what those things have actually done to the body. 21:30 And in particular, some of these important things that are part of the immune system. 21:33 So you can take away and clear that excess pattern all day long. 21:37 But if you don't support the thymus gland, you may be missing some efficiencies and then some longer term results that you could have your patients and 21:48 patients could help themselves. 21:49 Great thought. 21:50 Awesome. 21:51 Thanks for joining us. 21:54 Thanks for tuning into The Resiliency Method, the truth about healing podcasts. 21:59 If this episode spoke to you, follow, share, and leave us a review. 22:03 Are you ready to go deeper?
