you must know this so this presentation is an intriguing talk about viruses a virus is dead it's not alive yet it can destroy your body so let me just show you something this is a cell if we open up the cell it has a bunch of things in it okay you can see it has all these different they're called organel they're just little tiny parts of this huge Factory that makes stuff okay you have the mitochondria here which is the energy Factory you have the rib which is basically a protein factory and then you have
the nucleus right in the center here well guess what viruses don't have any of this stuff right here in fact viruses are not even cells a virus is just some blueprints with the sack around it that has no energy no machine it cannot do anything outside your cell today we're going to get into some potential theories on where viruses really came from it's really interesting and viruses one hand can kill you but on the other hand they can actually really help you and I'm going to get into that as well but to understand viruses you
have to just get a little bit of a foundation of what they are and what they're not viruses are not cells they're very tiny things that compare to the cell so they come in contact with a cell and it's like a lock in a key something gets inserted like a spike protein and it just activates something that then causes a chain reaction in your body which involves the hijack in of your Machinery so they basically can tap into your energy use your resources not theirs for their survival and then they start to reproduce and make
more of themselves and then they explode your cell okay they're not nice they're classified as parasitic now before I get into some of the theories on where viruses came from which is a huge mystery I want to just cover some ways that these viruses evade your immune system there's one type of virus they rupture the cell membrane they disintegrate it they're called liic viruses and then the other type of viruses are called latent viruses so they also destroy your cell but soon after the initial infection they invade your DNA and they go silent and then
one day you get a little bit older and you go through stress and Bam they come out of remission and they become reactivated like herpes simplex like that little blister you get on your lip is one example HIV is another example Epstein by virus is another one so the problem with the latent viruses is they pretty much last a very long time in your body and they never go away and as long as you don't experience a lot of stress or poor health you might be okay but the litic viruses do their destruction and the
immune system eventually takes care of them and wipes them out it's just wild that these viruses even exist in the first place where do they come from and why why are they here the first one is called the virus first hypothesis in this Theory the virus has been thought to come before even our cells existed another theory is called reduction theory in this Theory a virus is some type of remnants or residual something from some living cell so it's lost its ability to survive independently and so it must need another cell to tap into its
energy then you get this other theory is called the giant virus and the fourth domain this really has challenged the traditional theory of viruses because a giant virus is a lot more complex and the theory goes that viruses are a fourth domain so you have different types of cells you have bacteria cells you have other cells it's not really a cell it's just an entity then you get this next theory that has to do with contribution to Evolution or having something evolve and this Theory goes like this you have this thing called horizontal Gene transfer
it's kind of like sharing knowledge key knowledge to help someone survive you can pass down Knowledge from you to your children in fact 8% of our genes have viral components then the last theory has to do with viruses being a necessary tool to help with survival now those are all the theories that are known there's a couple other ones but I just want to add my two cents at this point what I think the purpose of viruses are for your immune system so in the immune system you have two types you have the type of
immune system that you were born with it's called the innate your mother gave it to you but you also have another part of an immune system called the acquired immune system this is the part that you need to develop over time and you cannot develop it without viruses and they cause your immune system to adapt and become very very strong if you let this process happen so this is why I done videos on this where like with the child when they get sick and they have a fever the response is just to stop the fever
and through a series of infections that immune system gets trained if we never let our immune system get trained it can never develop and become strong viruses have given us the evolutionary pressure to develop this robust immune system this could relate to just exercise right if you've never exercised before how strong are you really going to be can you actually really build up this Fitness Reserve no not without exercise and so this side will develop strategies to help them survive and then our bodies will also develop other strategies so they're sitting there waiting and waiting
for the door to open for you to get weak now other viruses like the Epstein bar virus for example there's many of these that do this but the Epstein bar virus downgrades your vitamin D receptor because somehow it knows that vitamin D is really essential for your entire immune system so I just have to explain something about vitamin D that's super important a lot of people don't know about this in fact most doctors do not know that there's two different systems for vitamin D and there's three different types of vitamin D you have vitamin D
that comes from the Sun and then you also have the vitamin D that gets stored in the blood and then you have the last vitamin D which gets activated inside the receptors wherever it goes okay so there's two systems of vitamin D one is all about calcium and Bone and the other system is about everything else okay it's non-calcium functions immune system is the big one the most important thing that you need to know is the vitamin D in the blood is in an inactive form and this is mainly to feed the bone a very
tiny bit of it like 0.4% of it feeds the immune system so if you want a strong immune system but you're not getting daily amount of either Sun or the supplement or vitamin D in from the food your immune system is going to suffer because the halflife is 24 hours for the bone you can get by with like 600 to 800 IUS but for the immune system you need a minimum amount of 10,000 IUS 10,000 IUS would be basically 20 minutes in the Sun but the average person needs 10,000 I use every single day to
support a healthy immune system then you also have many viruses including the Rhino viruses which gives you the common cold they need zinc and your immune system needs zinc too because zinc also turns down virus reproduction and then you have another virus called HIV what that does is it Targets this very specific immune cell that is like the quarterback of the entire immune system and it takes that one out one way to counter that just as a side note is selenium selenium is in Brazil nuts it's it's also in shellfish and if you have enough
selenium you can reactivate that cell and get it to work right so now I want to just touch briefly on what reactivates certain viruses that are latent or in remission as you age you become weaker and also the more stress you have the more cortisol you have the weaker you're going to become so cortisol suppresses your immune system in practice I notice a lot of people that had viral infections had them right after a severe stress and then other viruses can be reactivated through ultraviolet radiation the sunlight but the secret to this entire presentation is
what can we do about viruses you have two specific types of immune cells that kill off viruses one is called the cytotoxic t- cell the other one is called the natural killer cell both of these can be greatly strengthened okay and I'm going to go through a list of all the things that you can do vitamin D is hands down the most important nutrient for your immune system it's a natural immune modulator it means that if your immune system is working too much or too slow or not enough it'll bring it to normal number two
is zinc I already talked about that zinc increases the immune system many different ways one way it counteracts this whole viral shutdown of your zinc Supply another way is zinc just stops the reproduction of viruses then of course you have vitamin C C right the best vitamin C food you can eat is raw sourkraut one cup of that a few times a week would give you 700 milligrams of Vitamin C sleep is another important thing try like heck to get 8 hours of sleep you know I was at one time bragging because I didn't need
much sleep you know I can get by I can get up really early that was a very stupid thing to brag about because I'm telling you seven eight hours of sleep is a necessity number five the reduction of stress whether it's physical work going for a walk in nature doing stretches is very very important also if you have a fever don't try to get rid of it right away why because fever Cooks the virus and so when you take some type of thing like an aspirin or whatever to try to get rid of the fever
now you prolong the infection you don't allow the body to run through its training cycle of fighting off the infection but if your fever gets you know above 104 Fahrenheit which is 40° C at that point maybe you do something but not at lower temperatures number six garlic very important number seven Elderberry awesome for viruses intermittent fasting very powerful also magnesium helps increase the killer tea cells I recently stumbled on information so one way to strengthen the immune system is to take about 800 milligrams in the evening before you go to bed Believe It or
Not laughter can also increase these killer tea cells viruses outside your cells are powerless they can't do anything they just float around they have no energy no mechanics so this is why it's important to understand that you need to go through infections to build up your immune system and you need the key nutrition to support and strengthen the immune system itself versus the other Viewpoint which is not true where you have a virus that is alive which is not true and it's controlling your body it's stronger than your body it goes into your body and
at all cost you just need to suppress and try to kill it off there's all sorts of medications which ends up weakening your immune system so remember this concept and apply it to your lifestyle
