Heres how I see it. What do us Alopicians all have in common, at fist glance it appears nothing, you could say the same thing about people who have athletes foot or fungal nails, kids, men ,women, healthy and other wise all can get athletes foot and fungal nails what the commonality,... you got it a third unwelcomed party Microbial pathogens they have been around forever and evolve and can adapt. I did some detailed research about these little critters turns out there are many types of pathogens, some infiltrate the phagocytic reseptor cells. Phagocytic reseptors are partialy responsible for seeking out and destroying invading pathogens that invade our bodies they they work in conjuction with our anti bodies, seek out and destroy invading germs ,microbial pathegens ect.. they maintain stability, they are also responsible killing and for displaying these pathogens to the white blood cells in our bodies they kill the pathogens  celularly speaking by locking into the invading microbes, note they do this by means of locking into the invading microbes similar a key going into a lock the phagocytes at a cellular level fit right in take over and envelope the invading microbes, encapsulating them and release toxins like clorine and peroxide within the cacoon which they now house the microbe, they envelope the microbes ,put them in a cacoon like state inorder to protect the human host, us from danger, toxicity. They save a portion of the microbe and display this portion to the white blood cells within our lymphatic system , they present the white blood cells  with an accurate picture of what exactly are the enemies during this presentation process. If the phatocyte reseptors become rendered useless become compromised  by pathogins and there are many ways that can happen, the phagocytic reseptor cells cannot do their job correctly, never present a accurate picture of the invading pathogins to the white blood cells and render the white blood cells blind, because the phagocytes never presented a clear picture to the white blood cells on what exactly they should hunt down and kill. You cant kill what you cant recognize or see, the bodies defences become confused, start to sound familiar yet. Although still detecting invading pathogens but dont quite know were they are, or how to destroy them. The result is, Phagocytes and white blood cells still attack, but instead of killing off pathogens reak havok on our bodies, releasing toxic chemicals into our bodies that were soley intended for the pathogens demise,Result is inflamation, irritation of all the other reseptors and cells within our bodies thyroid gland, adrenal, ect.. this is how I believe auto immune desease and alopecia areata begins in my book. I think the Marshal protocal makes good perfect sence in some ways, all exept in how to kill the invading pathogins ,I am attempting to try a less invasive approach to a cure, I am under the impression that a well oxyginated body is one that  desease, pathogins and bacteria cannot survive in for a long time  I am going to reoxyginate( in time as i am realy hooked on fast food and meat right now ) my body by eating fresh fruits and vegetables uncooked organic no chemicals and toxins plenty of water as we comprise 65% of water water helps bring down inflamation naturally plenty of sleep at the right time  at least 9 hours a day never to bed after 9:00 pm find time for peace and serenity through prayer i believe as Dr. Nemic from the total heath institue does that these things will begin to reverse  the damage done to my body , alopecia didnt come in one day and it not going to leave in one day. (google marshal protocal for more info google total health institute ). To me bacteria, cellular microbial pathogens invading the body makes sence and anweres many questions concerning auto imune deseases in general. What do you guys think??? My theory is also based on research I found concerning acidicy of the blood I think we are all probally pretty acidic,toxic at least. I think if I can reoxyginate my blood make my body less acidic over time I will provide a less suitable environment for pathogens to survive in as bacteria, pathogens, desease cannot live for long in a well oxyginated alkaline non toxic body, my method of recovery is changing to a vegan diet over time (as i am habitually stuck on sweets and meat products,fast foods) only fresh organic uncooked veggies and fruit substantial amounts of water as we comprise of 65%water, plenty of oxygen plenty of sleep at least 9.5 hours a day never past 9:00 pm and spend time in prayer and peace tranquility, diet is the cure so I believe. My goal is to change my mindset I'am stuck on negative and bitterness that has to change as well, mind, body and spirit. this I believe personally should reverse the effects,cant hurt. Think about it the mind body and spirit are as one work in conjuction with each other when one is out of balance for too long the otheres parts suffer, enter desease  doctors medications , more meds more docs  more meds  and desease and death,  i was born health  this desease wasnt born here.  All this will take time as i am a habitual gluton for punishment and a real pre modonna who currently allways needs action and drama in my life to function. what do you guys think does the theories hold water??? agian I am just a guy, a field service technician by trade who is tired of being tired.Thanks for reading my blog: please send thoughts and download info.
