Today we're going to talk about the immune benefits of vitamin C. Vitamin C does a lot of different things for your health, but it's immune benefits are really amazing.

Vitamin C deficiencies are actually a very common problem. You can have what's called a subclinical vitamin C deficiency, where you're not completely deficient, but you're deficient enough to have a weakened immune system. Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient. This means that unless you're constantly getting vitamin C, you could become deficient very quickly.

Vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant. Free-radicals can damage certain things in the body. Vitamin C can help counter free-radical damage.

Immune benefits of vitamin C:

1. Enhanced antibodies

2. Increased neutrophil motility

3. Enhanced B-cells (increases antibodies)

4. Enhanced T-cells (helps fight pathogens)

5. Increased interferon (kills infected cells)

A vitamin C deficiency can make you more susceptible to certain infections. If you're very deficient in vitamin C, you can develop scurvy. Scurvy can increase susceptibility to fatal infections like pneumonia. Scurvy is often followed by infectious epidemics because infections increase the need for vitamin C. If you're using your immune system more, you can deplete your vitamin C reserves.

Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between the coronavirus and your lungs.

The word “corona” comes from the word “crown.” The coronavirus has small projections that look like a little crown—the little projections like lung tissue.

In certain cases, especially critical coronavirus cases, a person can develop a condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). This is a situation where you have severe hypoxia, which means you have a lack of oxygen.

Other symptoms are:

• Rapid breathing

• Dizziness

• Breathlessness

• Sweating

What’s missing with COVID-19 is two nutrients:

1. Vitamin D

2. Zinc

90% of patients with ARDS have very low vitamin D levels.

• Vitamin D is an immune modulator

• It can help greatly improve the immune system

• It’s a great anti-inflammatory

Zinc is one of the most important nutrients for your lungs.

• It can help reduce inflammation

• If you’re deficient in zinc, an infection can last longer

• If you’re deficient in zinc, you’re more susceptible to infections, viruses, and bacteria

• If you’re deficient in zinc, you don’t have the full capacity of your white blood cells (your army)

This is a chemical from black licorice that appears to be a very powerful inhibitor for SARS and related coronaviruses.

2. Mayberry leaf

3. Skullcap (baicalin)

One of the main chemicals in skullcap has shown to have anti-SARS-CoV-2 benefits.

LINK TO A RECENT STUDY: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c...

R VALUE CALCULATION EXPLAINED IN THIS PAPER: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...

I’ve got some good coronavirus news for you today. There is a paper titled “High Temperature and High Humidity Reduce the Transmission of COVID-19.”

According to this paper, higher temperatures and higher humidity significantly reduce the spread of the coronavirus. This means that the arrival of summer and a rainy season may effectively decrease the spread of COVID-19.

This could make sense because when the coronavirus pandemic first began, certain countries that were warmer and more humid had fewer coronavirus cases than countries with a colder and less humid climate at the time.

In the next few months, as the temperature is warming up and the humidity is increasing, I think we may see a significant drop in the spread of the coronavirus.

Today I want to explain a little bit about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) cytokine storm.

What is a cytokine storm?

A cytokine storm is a situation that can occur in critical cases of the coronavirus.

A few things that are associated with a cytokine storm are:

• High fever

• Enlarged spleen

• A decrease or increase of the white blood cell count

• Low blood pressure

• Massive inflammation

Another name for cytokine storm is macrophage activation syndrome. A macrophage is a white blood cell.

A cytokine storm will typically occur when someone’s immune system is weak, they have a genetic weakness towards this condition, or they are overweight.

What is a cytokine?

A cytokine is a communication messenger. It signals the cells to do certain things. When the virus invades the cell, the cell will then send out these messages to let the immune system know there is a problem.

This is why a huge inflammatory reaction can occur. If it happens in the lungs, there can be destruction in the lungs. The cytokines basically tell your “soldiers” to fight.

There is bad news concerning COVID-19 pouring in every second on the media. But I have some good coronavirus news.

1. There is a French study involving 36 patients targeting COVID-19. They used a medication called hydroxychloroquine along with an antibiotic, and 100% of the patients recovered within 6 days. They also did a second trial with 80 patients. It showed clinical improvement in all of those cases except for 2.

2. Dr. Vladimir Zelenko said that in 699 COVID-19 cases, there was a 100% success rate. He used hydroxychloroquine, z-pack, and zinc. He’s recommending to hit the virus hard and early with this protocol.

3. Dr. William Grace has been using hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic with really good results—not one death.

4. There was a study by the NIH using zinc showing a decrease in morbidity relating to lower respiratory tract infections.

5. There was another study done by the NIH in vitro using hydroxychloroquine. They found it was a potent killer of the coronavirus.

If you’re finding that you’ve been gaining weight during this lockdown or coronavirus quarantine, and you want to lose weight, this video is for you.

There are many reasons why people eat, such as:

A. Stress

B. Fatigue

C. Boredom

D. Happiness

E. Depression

F. Hunger

You’re supposed to only eat when you’re hungry. One of the most powerful things you can do when you’re stuck at home in lockdown is fasting. Fasting can help significantly improve your immune system and give you extra protection. Fasting can also help uplift a person’s mood and even help increase cognitive function.

Tips for the coronavirus lockdown:

• Do not buy junk foods

• Try to get the whole family on board with eating healthy

• Go for long walks

• Stay productive

• Apple cider vinegar (in your water)

• Vitamin D/Zinc/Vitamin C (to help support the immune system)

• Vitamin B1 (to help keep your stress low)

• Potassium (to help lower stress and boost energy)

• Do not snack

• Consume fat with your meals (olives, avocado, MCT oil, nuts)

Today we're going to talk about why the coronavirus causes the loss of smell.

Some coronavirus symptoms:

• Fever

• Tired

• Cough (dry)

• Shortness of breath

• Sore throat

Recently it has been found that there can be an additional symptom, and it's the loss of smell. The medical name for a loss of smell is "anosmia." You can also have a loss of taste.

What might cause this to happen?

There is a certain enzyme that's involved in your perception of smell and taste. It's called carbonic anhydrase 6. This essential enzyme for the sense of taste and smell is zinc-dependent. Big symptoms of a zinc deficiency are actually a loss of the sense of smell and a loss of the sense of taste.

I think the reason for the symptom of a loss of smell could be a zinc deficiency. When you go through an infection, especially in your lungs, you use up a lot of zinc. Zinc is not stored that well in the body. So, unless your constantly consuming zinc, chances are you're going to be zinc deficiency. On top of that, with an infection, you could be even more zinc deficient.
