Autoimmune Protocol

Autoimmune diseases are often triggered or exacerbated by latent viruses hiding in the body. A key area of concern is the dorsal root ganglianerve bundles that run along both sides of the spine. Research has shown that certain viruses, including herpesviruses like Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1), can remain dormant in these nerve clusters for years, flaring during times of stress or immune suppression.

Did you know? Scientific studies show that certain viruses—especially those in the herpesvirus family can hide in dorsal root ganglia, which are nerve bundles located along both sides of the spine.

This study confirms that Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV1) can lie dormant in human dorsal root ganglia from the cervical to sacral spine.

Additional research supports that latent infections in the DRG can be reactivated by physiological stress or injury—making this region a key viral reservoir. (PMC, Microbiology Research)

This evidence strengthens the theory behind the Raindrop Techniquea protocol that applies anti-viral essential oils along the spine—to support immune recovery and reduce latent viral activity.

The Raindrop Technique

The Raindrop Technique is a massage-like protocol that applies specific antiviral essential oils directly onto the spine, focusing on the nerve-rich areas along both sides. This technique may help suppress viral activity, allowing the immune system space to repair and restore itself.

Many anecdotal (non-clinical) cases have shown that individuals with autoimmune disorders experience significant symptom improvement or even reversal—with consistent use of this method.

The working theory is this: if viral activity is suppressed long enough, the body can begin to heal itself layer by layer.

We Are Sponsoring a Clinical Trial!

We are currently co-sponsoring a clinical trial to explore the effectiveness of the Raindrop Technique in supporting individuals with autoimmune diseases. Stay tuned for published data and outcomes.

Additional Supportive Measures

In addition to the Raindrop Technique, we strongly encourage a shift toward a clean, whole-food diet—avoiding processed foods, refined sugars, and chemical additives that can inflame the immune system.
