In this episode Dr. Kharrazian explores the world of chronic infections, such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Hepatitis C, Covid, and Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and their impact on our immune system. He explores how some pathogens hide within our bodies and reemerge when our immunity is compromised.

He discusses the latest research linking these infections to autoimmune diseases and even cancer, and emphasizes the importance of enhancing our immune defenses rather than just relying on antiviral treatments. He covers a wide range of topics from the basics of virology, the dynamics of long COVID, and the sobering realities of Hepatitis C and Human Papillomavirus (HPV), to the ripple effects of viral infections on our overall health.

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.
