Today we’re going to talk about COVID-19, and vitamin D. What I say is not meant to replace medical care, I’m not making any claims that vitamin D is going to cure this virus, and I’m not going to try to sell you vitamin D. I just want to increase your awareness on the importance of vitamin D for your immune system.

Did you know diabetes makes you more susceptible to viruses (like COVID-19)? Find out why.

GET YOUR EATING RIGHT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZfy...

Today we’re going to talk about why diabetes can make you more susceptible to getting viruses like COVID-19. Being a diabetic actually triples the mortality rate from the COVID-19 virus.

The virus enters the cell through your own body’s receptor. This type of receptor is called the ACE2 receptor. The virus enters and starts to replicate. The more ACE2 receptors you have on your cells, the more susceptible you could be to this virus.

• Diabetics have a lot more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.

• People with high blood glucose have more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.

• People with higher amounts of insulin have more ACE2 receptor proteins on their cells.

A few additional things to be aware of:

• Insulin resistance can impair your immune response to a virus.

• People with hyperglycemia (high sugar) have a decrease in neutrophils. Neutrophils eat viruses, they release anti-microbial chemicals that kill pathogens, and they use NETS to dissolve microbes with chemicals. If you don’t have enough neutrophils, your immune system is going to be compromised, and your body won’t have the weapons to fight off viruses.

If you have diabetes and you’re concerned about COVID-19 (coronavirus), you may want to consider decreasing your carbs (the healthy keto diet) and intermittent fasting. This could potentially help greatly improve diabetes and help support the immune system.

Why Smoking Spikes the Risk for COVID-19? Apr 21, 2020

Today we’re going to talk about why smoking can increase the risk of COVID-19 complications. Smoking could also increase your risk of getting an infection in your lungs.

Smoking is a risk factor because it can significantly increase ACE2 receptors. In your cells, you have a lot of different receptors, and there’s one for the ACE2 protein, which is an enzyme.

The way that the coronavirus gets into the cell is through this little ACE2 portal. COVID-19 has little projections that basically connect to the ACE2 receptors. Once it connects, the doors open, and it can go into the cell and create destruction. Smoking can increase the number of little portals. The more portals this virus can enter, the more susceptible you are to getting an infection.

The lung tissue actually has the most concentration of these ACE2 receptors. Once the coronavirus is in your lungs, it creates a lot of damage within the airways. At this point, you can start to develop scar tissue and fluid in the airways. The membranes become thickened, and you start to lose your capacity to exchange oxygen and CO2.

It’s the chronic nicotine inhalation, not just from smoking, but from vaping as well that could be an issue. If you quit smoking within 24 hours there could be a huge improvement.

In 2019, 43% of Italian smokers, smoked between 10-19 cigarettes per day. Two countries that are really getting hit with this virus are Italy and Spain. Both of these countries have a lot of smokers.

Today we’re going to talk about zinc and the coronavirus. Can zinc actually kill the coronavirus?

In one of my other videos, I talk about a drug called chloroquine. Chloroquine is a malaria drug. There have been derivatives of this drug used in other countries as a coronavirus treatment.

This specific drug acts as a zinc ionophore, which means it allows zinc to penetrate your cells. Once the zinc is inside of the cell, it can stop the replication of the virus.

There was a report done titled, “An effective treatment for coronavirus COVID-19.” The report summary explains that “chloroquine is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stays." It also “has strong potential as a prophylactic (preventative) measure in the lab, while we wait for a vaccine to be developed.”

There are some credible data that shows the relationship between chloroquine allowing zinc to kill the virus or at least inactivate the virus.

Today we’re going to talk about the coronavirus and ventilators. Could ventilators for COVID-19 do more harm than good?

A ventilator is a machine that breathes for you. It uses forced air and oxygen. New York officials have said that at least 80% of COVID-19 patients in the city who were on a ventilator died.

If someone becomes critically ill with COVID-19, they are typically sedated and put on a ventilator. This is because this coronavirus targets the lungs, and it becomes more and more difficult to breathe. But, the problem could be that in severe cases, the lung is so fragile that adding more pressure to the lung could create more damage to the lung.

It could be that this condition is less like pneumonia or ARDS and is more like high altitude sickness. It’s possible that the pressure that the ventilators are giving in this situation is too high. One doctor who is treating patients with COVID-19 in New York believes that the pressure in the ventilators used for COVID-19 needs to be turned down, and the oxygen needs to be increased.

Will gargling with salt water kill the coronavirus? There are no studies that I’ve found that say that gargling with salt water will kill a virus. But, there is some research that says that gargling with saltwater could potentially help prevent certain viruses from going down into the lung.

Today I want to share some more good coronavirus news. There is another coronavirus treatment out there that’s being investigated. I like this coronavirus treatment. It’s actually been around for a long time. The name of it is convalescent antibody-rich plasma. The word convalescent means that you’re recovering from some type of infection.

With the convalescent antibody-rich plasma treatment, they use plasma from people who have been through the infection and fully recovered.

Plasma is rich in antibodies. People who recovered will have antibodies against COVID-19.

This treatment will actually give you the experience of someone else’s immune system without you having to go through it. It can help protect you. If you’re critically ill, you have antibodies with all of this experience that can help speed up the recovery.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about how you can bulletproof your immune system. First, let's talk about what the immune system is.

The immune system is basically your body’s army for fighting off pathogens, which cause disease. In particular, the pathogens we’re talking about are microbes, like bacteria and viruses.

There are three main barriers to the immune system—skin, mucous lining, and inflammation.

Once a pathogen is in the body, your body deploys its counter-attack using white blood cells (WBC) and friendly gut microbes.

White blood cells and friendly microbes…

• Make acid to rid pathogens

• Secrete poison

• Releases free radicles

• Created hydrogen peroxide

• Create enzymes

• Compete for food/space

• Generate music and inflammation

• Have a memory so they can easily deal microbes they’ve encountered before

• Promote phagocytes, which are cells that destroy unfriendly microbes

In this podcast, I want to talk to you about why keto has gotten a bad rap. You may have heard about things in the news or other media outlets about keto being dangerous and having side effects like:

• Constipation

• High uric acid

• Low calcium

• Low magnesium

• Kidney stones

• Gall stones

• High cholesterol

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Fatigue

• Hypoglycemia

• Slow growth

• Abnormal heart rhythm

Is the ketogenic diet dangerous?

The truth is, these symptoms can happen when you’re doing keto… But here’s the reason why:

The traditional/classical version of the keto diet wasn’t designed to be sustainable—it was designed to treat children with epilepsy.

However, this is a much different ketogenic diet from the healthy version of the ketogenic diet. The diet that causes these side effects is a dirty version of the ketogenic diet.

Healthy Keto doesn’t allow foods like:

• Mayonaise

• Unhealthy salad dressings

• GMO soy oil

• Refined vegetable oil

• Soy

• Non-organic, low-quality casein

• Certain carbs — bread and rice

• Diet soda

• Orange juice

• Corn syrup

• Maltodextrin

If you consume these foods, you are going to deplete nutrients—vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, etc.—and you’re going to create a lot of fo gallbladder issues and bloating with unhealthy fats.

Most of all, Healthy Keto highlights vegetables. Dirty keto includes very few quality vegetables in the diet. This causes nutrient deficiencies and lots of side effects.

So when you see studies on the news about the “ketogenic diet,” you’re only seeing the unhealthy version of keto, which I don’t recommend at all.

The shocking truth about your health with Lissa Rankin M.D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tu9n...

Today we’re going to talk about the most powerful trigger of epigenetics.

What is epigenetics?

Epigenetics are the factors that are outside of your genes that affect your genes and turn them on or off (expressed or silenced). Epigenetics are the controlling factors for what diseases you may get, how long you may live, and what may happen to your health.

What influences epigenetics:

1. Environment

2. Drugs

3. Diet

4. Age

5. Nutritional deficiencies

6. Stress

7. Exercise

8. Thoughts, beliefs, etc.

There is a term called spontaneous remission. For example, let’s say someone has a disease, and all of a sudden, it goes in remission, or they’re HIV positive, and all of a sudden they’re HIV negative, or they have a tumor and all of a sudden it disappeared. In her book, “Mind Over Medicine,” Lissa Rankin M.D. talks about spontaneous remission as well as the placebo effect.

Your mental state and your thoughts can have a huge effect on epigenetics. This helps explain why it can be much more difficult to heal if you’re in a stress state.
