Did you know that fluoride is present in toothpaste, tap water, and many everyday products from the time we are children?
The pineal gland is a key structure involved in functions such as sleep–wake rhythm.
The pineal gland is also known as the “third eye,” responsible for our intuition.
Educating ourselves and questioning what we use daily is an important step toward making more conscious decisions about our health.

What if I don’t have a gallbladder?

01/17/2026

The gallbladder is not an “extra” organ. It fulfills key functions for digestive health.

Its main functions are:
• Storing and concentrating bile
• Releasing bile when you eat fats
• Helping digest fats properly
• Facilitating the elimination of toxins

Some symptoms that may be related include:
• Pain in the upper right side of the abdomen
• Pain that radiates to the back or right shoulder
• Nausea or vomiting
• Abdominal bloating after eating
• Intolerance to fatty foods
• Episodes of nighttime pain
• Dark urine or light-colored stools

In my case, I had done a protocol in 2023 that was recommended to be repeated six months later. But I never repeated it because I didn’t consider it necessary at that time. After some time, I began experiencing intermittent pain for several months and noticed that I was not digesting fats well. So I decided to do the protocol again. After that, my symptoms disappeared.

Always keep in mind that this was my personal experience. Many people suffer from chronic illnesses and should take precautions before trying certain practices. In addition, there are symptoms that may represent a medical emergency, such as:
• Severe and persistent abdominal pain
• Fever or chills
• Continuous vomiting
• Jaundice
• Rapid worsening of symptoms

In these cases, seeking medical attention is recommended to avoid further complications.

I made sure not to reach that level of severity, as I always prioritize prevention by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I also know my body very well and interpret each symptom that appears as a sign of imbalance.

One of the most difficult aspects of living a healthy lifestyle is educating others about good habits and how to choose products at the market.
When it comes to your own family, it can be even more challenging. In this case, I sometimes lose my patience 😂.
But I always take the time to educate them and give them strategies they can apply even when I’m not around.

For example, reading labels is essential, even when foods are labeled as “organic.”
A mindset shift doesn’t happen overnight; it takes time.
But habits are built little by little and require consistency.

Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system, whose role is to protect us from infections and external threats, mistakenly targets the body’s own tissues. This misdirected immune response leads to chronic inflammation and, over time, tissue damage. Conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and multiple sclerosis may affect different organs, but they share this same underlying mechanism.

From a conventional medical perspective, treatment often focuses on reducing immune activity. Medications such as immunosuppressants, corticosteroids, and biologic agents are commonly used to decrease inflammation and help control symptoms. For many patients, these therapies can be necessary and life-changing, especially during severe or active disease.
At the same time, focusing on immune suppression primarily addresses the manifestation of the disease rather than fully explaining why the immune system became dysregulated in the first place. A more integrative perspective recognizes that autoimmune conditions are multifactorial and influenced by a complex interaction of factors. These include genetic susceptibility, epigenetic regulation, environmental exposures, infections, hormonal influences, and lifestyle-related factors such as nutrition, stress, and sleep.
