Why are intermittent fasting and intermittent exercise so important? Find out.

5:06 Recovery 

Today we’re going to talk about “intermittent” and what that really means. We’re going to cover intermittent fasting, the biggest intermittent fasting mistake, and intermittent exercise. 

A healthy body has really good circadian rhythms. These are natural waves of rhythm like:

• Sleep cycles
• Eating cycles 
• Rhythms of digestion
• Rhythms of hormones

Anything we do of a sustained nature adds more stress to the body. For example, one of the most important things intermittent fasting does is correcting digestion. The body was not designed to consume on a sustained basis (snacking in between meals). Sustained eating can create sustained stimulation of insulin, which can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes. It’s very important to fast, and not eat anything when you’re fasting. But, you can drink water and take supplements during fasting. 

High-intensity interval training is intermittent exercise. This can help stimulate growth hormone. Doing this high-intensity exercise intermittently is important because it won’t stimulate the opposing hormone: cortisol. It keeps the stress down while still stimulating growth hormone. The growth hormone is stimulated by the high intensity. But, cortisol is stimulated by duration, which you’re keeping short. 

Recovery is also very important. During the downtime, when you’re relaxing, you need to stay off your phone and try to keep your mind from overthinking.

2:06 Looking back at the Somalian group
2:33 Distance from the sun and COVID-19
3:08 Looking at all of the factors

Today we’re going to talk about the cheapest potential COVID-19 therapy in the world. What we’re talking about is the sun, and what it can do to give you vitamin D. Of course, this is actually free, all you have to do is go out and get 20 minutes of sun. 

Somalian immigrants make up a very small community in Stockholm, Sweden. They make up less than 1% of the entire population of Stockholm. Yet, in Stockholm, 40% of all of the COVID-19 deaths were from this small group. 

What puts people at risk for COVID-19?: 
• Pre-existing health problems (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, COPD, asthma)

This group didn’t have many of these problems, and they weren’t all over the age of 60. But, what they do have is darker skin. The melanin that changes the color of the skin—protects against UV. But, it also prevents the absorption of vitamin D. In Chicago, 72% of deaths due to the coronavirus were African American. 

The Somalian group also has a dress code that requires them to be almost fully covered, which can prevent vitamin D absorption. 

It has also been found that the great majority of COVID-19 deaths were in the Northern hemisphere. This could be related to the distance between where you are and the sun, and how much vitamin D you’re going to get.

Looking at more factors:

Seasonality—
Certain viruses are seasonal. This could have something to do with less vitamin D, temperature, and humidity. 

Vitamin D is a very powerful immune modulator—
It directly regulates a lot of different parts of the immune system. 

An Indonesian study—
In this study, the mortality rate was much higher in the group that was deficient in vitamin D than the group that had normal levels of vitamin D. 

Vitamin D is very anti-inflammatory—
It could help reduce the cytokine storm, which can be deadly. 

Vitamin D is anti-thrombotic—
It helps prevent blood clots. 

Pre-existing conditions—
People with the pre-existing conditions that could cause complications with COVID-19 typically also seem to have a vitamin D deficiency. 

Age—
The older you are, the less vitamin D you have.

These interesting hydroxychloroquine benefits go beyond potentially killing the COVID-19 virus. You won’t hear about this in the news.

Hydroxychloroquine:

3:26 Hydroxychloroquine and the later stages of COVID-19

Today we’re going to talk about the benefits of hydroxychloroquine that actually go beyond just killing COVID-19. 

Hydroxychloroquine has been used for over 70 years as a malaria drug. It’s been repurposed for COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is also a very inexpensive drug. 

There are some reports that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective and could even be dangerous. But when you look deeper into the study their claims are based on—it’s bogus.

Hydroxychloroquine benefits that go beyond killing the coronavirus:

1. It’s a zinc ionophore 
2. It’s antithrombotic 
3. It’s an alkalizer 
4. It suppresses an overactive immune system 
5. It’s a powerful anti-inflammatory 
6. It helps reduce autoantibodies 

But, there may be a point of no return. It’s unclear whether hydroxychloroquine could have as many benefits if the person is in the later stages of the virus when there is already too much damage.

Today we’re going to talk about oxidative stress and viruses. 

Oxidative stress is basically a situation where you have an imbalance of too much oxidation and not enough antioxidants. 

Your body makes both oxidants and antioxidants. 

1. Endogenous oxidation is the oxidation that your own body creates—it comes from within.
2. Exogenous oxidation is coming from outside of the body. A few examples would be: pollution, smoking, and consuming refined carbs and sugar. 

With the COVID-19 virus, on a blood test, you’ll likely see high amounts of neutrophils and low lymphocytes. 

Neutrophils release both hydrogen peroxide and bleach as weapons against the virus, but this creates a lot of oxidation. So, the immune system is creating a lot of oxidation in response to COVID-19 or some other virus. The virus is also creating more immune reactions, which contributes to even more oxidation. 

There are also risk factors related to COVID-19 that can create oxidation, such as:

• Diabetes 
• Obesity 
• High blood pressure

With these pre-existing conditions, the endogenous antioxidants are way low. So, there is an imbalance created from the virus itself, the immune reaction, and the pre-existing condition. 

To have a long healthy life and minimize the complications of this condition and the side effects of the viral infection, you need to bring your antioxidants up and your oxidation down. 

Viruses like COVID-19 also attack the mitochondria. This is called apoptosis—your cells are dying. But, some cells will survive and adapt. Because the normal machinery to burn fuel is damaged, the cells with adapt to another way of using fuel called fermentation. The body doesn’t usually use this system, but it will use it as a survival mechanism if it needs to. While using this backup system, these cells metabolize glucose. This is one way a virus can actually trigger cancer. Cancer cells create a lot of inflammation, free-radical damage, and oxidation. 

How do we switch things back?

• Healthy keto 
• Consume foods high in antioxidants 

Great antioxidants:
 
• Vitamins A, C, D, E
• Alpha-lipoic acid 
• Copper 
• Zinc 
• Selenium 
• Manganese
• Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 

Things that will help increase antioxidants:

• Supporting your microbes 
• NAC
• Quercetin 
• Fasting 
• Exercise 
• Sleep

4:01 Other vitamin A risk factors
4:17 Best sources of vitamin A

In this video, I want to talk to you about vitamin A and your immune system. Now, I’ve done plenty of other videos on the role of zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C in the immune system, but I haven’t touched on vitamin A yet.

Vitamin A is an essential part of the immune system. A vitamin A deficiency will leave your body susceptible to infections—especially in the respiratory system, including your lungs, sinuses, and throat.

You need vitamin A for your mucous membranes. In particular, vitamin A is required for the creation of mucin. Mucin is an essential part of the mucus membrane.

Vitamin A is also involved in the epithelial layer and lymphatic system layer. Each of these acts as a barrier for microbes.

When pathogens enter the body, your body triggers macrophages. These are large phagocytic cells that consume pathogens and clean up other harmful debris. Macrophages are your body’s first line of defense against infection.

Your thymus gland, which is right above the heart, helps train your immune cells. The thymus can actually activate and synthesize vitamin A.

Vitamin A is also required for dendritic cells and neutrophil traps.

When you’re low in vitamin A, your risk increases for:
• Ulcerative colitis
• MS
• Psoriasis
• Lupus

How can you get more vitamin A? The best source of vitamin A are:
• Beef
• Liver
• Cod liver oil
• Mackerel
• Salmon
• Goat cheese
• Butter
• Cream cheese
• Eggs
• Vegetables (pre-vitamin A in carotenoid form)

Today we’re going to talk about mucus and how amazing mucus really is. Your mucus is actually a very important part of your body. 

The body makes between 1 and 1.5 liters of mucus per day. The mucus sits on mucus membranes covering the inside of your body. The mucus membrane is a part of the immune system. Friendly bacteria live in the mucus, and immune cells live in the mucus. 

The mucus membrane and the mucus on top of it line the:

• Sinuses 
• Mouth 
• Throat 
• Lungs 
• Stomach 
• Intestines 
• Kidneys 
• Urogenital 

What does mucus do?

• It acts as a lubricant
• It’s antimicrobial 
• It has good bacteria 
• It acts like a flytrap for harmful microbes
• It has antibodies 
• It acts as a barrier to keep pathogens out 

How to thin mucus build-up:

1. NAC
2. Vitamin A
3. Vitamin D
