3:29 The importance of strengthening the immune system 

Today we’re going to talk about using forest bathing to boost the immune system. Forest bathing was used in Japan in the 80s for physical and mental health. It’s about getting out in nature and taking in the forest atmosphere. 

Basically, you’re out in the forest, and you’re breathing in certain chemicals or essential oils from the trees. There seems to be a very interesting immune benefit from being exposed to certain essential oils emitted from the trees in the forest. The group of compounds we’re talking about is called phytoncides. 

This chemical could significantly increase your natural killer cells. The natural killer cells are a part of the innate immune system, and they do several things. They will actually punch a hole into cells that have been infected by viruses and destroy the cell and the virus inside of it. 

Different studies have also found that diffusing the essential oils with the same chemical in the home could provide benefits. 

Forest bathing could potentially provide not only immune benefits but stress lowering benefits as well. It’s incredibly important to do what you can to strengthen your immune system. This could be a fantastic, natural, and inexpensive way to do that.

Are you becoming a germophobe? I’m not against protecting yourself against the coronavirus or any virus for that matter. Yes, masks and washing your hands are incredibly important. But, here’s the thing, not all microbes are harmful. 

Friendly microbes are not pathogenic. Pathogens are microbes that can cause disease. A huge part of your immune system is friendly microbes. These microbes live all over your body on the inside and out. When you over-sterilize your body, this can lower your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections. 

A few benefits of your friendly microbes:

• Certain microbes make acid that makes a pathogen not want to live in that environment. 
• Friendly microbes make vitamins to support your immune system. 
• Friendly microbes have anti-tumor properties. 

In some studies done on mice, they found that mice without any microbial life were more prone to autoimmune diseases, allergies, asthma, and other health issues.

Your skin flora is very necessary to protect you—it’s an immune defense. When you alter this microbiome, you basically throw the body out of balance, and you could develop inflammatory conditions. 

Over-sterilization can also lead to a decrease in T cells, which are important in preventing inflammatory reactions throughout the body. 

Even sterilized food (pasteurized food) goes through a process that kills off everything, including enzymes. These sterilized foods can potentially weaken the immune system.

0:47 Ketones 
2:00 Benefits of ketones 
2:53 How to generate ketones
4:32 How to stop absent-mindedness 

In this video, we’re going to talk about absent-mindedness and how to improve absent-mindedness. 

Absent-mindedness is basically a lack of awareness. If you’re absent-minded, you might be forgetful and easily distracted. It could be happening because your brain cells are tired and starving for energy. 

Your neurons are normally dependent on glucose or lactate for fuel. But, when you consume those fuels, they have a side-effect. They can potentially cause cognitive dysfunction and absent-mindedness. 

But, your body can use another type of fuel called ketones. Ketones suppress glucose utilization. If there are ketones and glucose in your blood, your brain will use ketones instead of glucose. 

A simple solution to bypass a damaged nerve cell is to start increasing ketones. Ketones can feed the neurons what they need to function. They also affect the potassium channels, which can increase the communication between neurons. 

You can generate ketones by lowering your carbohydrates below 50g. You also may need to increase the time you fast. You would want to do at least 18 hours of fasting with a 6-hour eating window. You may also want to add exogenous ketones. A great form of exogenous ketones is MCT oil. 

How to overcome absent-mindedness:

1. Sleep 
2. Stop thinking so much 
3. Support your gut microbiome 
4. Ketones

6:17 About trace minerals 
6:52 Dosage 

Today I want to introduce you to my new product called Trace Minerals Enhanced. I did have a trace mineral product in the past that was a liquid, but this is a new and improved version. The old product, being a liquid, could get messy. I also wanted to add some additional trace minerals to this product to make it even better. 

The most important trace mineral that I wanted to add in a higher amount is zinc. But, if you take one trace mineral over a long period of time without the other trace minerals with it, this can cause deficiencies in the other trace minerals. So, I added a few key trace minerals in a blend of all of the other trace minerals. There are over 74 trace minerals in this product. 

Trace minerals are minerals needed in very small amounts. They are cofactors in the biochemistry of the body. You have different enzymes that are proteins that are building tissues, breaking food down, and are involved in the different chemical reactions. Trace minerals are essential in those chemical reactions. 

Consider taking 1-2 capsules per day on an empty stomach. 

Here are a few of the trace minerals that I added to my Trace Minerals Enhanced product:

Zinc:
• Supports a healthy immune system 
• Is needed for vitamin A to be utilized in the body
• Is involved in epithelial tissue integrity 
• Is involved in skin, reproduction, and the immune system 

Manganese:
• Is important in strengthening ligaments 
• Is involved in bone formation, cartilage, different enzymes, and the immune system 

Copper:
• Is involved in making collagen 
• Supports a healthy immune system 
• Supports ligaments 

Iodine:
• Supports a healthy thyroid 
• Helps in the formation of thyroid hormones 
• Supports estrogen balance 

Selenium: 
• One of the most important antioxidants 
• Is very important in converting thyroid hormones 
• Is helpful in buffering excess amounts of mercury 
• Supports the immune system 
• Can help prevent muscle cramping 

Boron:
• Supports bone health 
• Is involved in building testosterone 
• May help reduce pain 

Chromium:
• Supports the cells that make insulin
• Is involved in stabilizing mood and reducing stress

Molybdenum:
• Is involved in detoxification 
• Could potentially help lower uric acid

0:06 Fasting during Ramadan
0:25 Studies on Ramadan 
1:06 Fasting benefits 

Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between fasting during Ramadan, and it’s immune effects.

Ramadan lasts between 29 and 30 days. During Ramadan, you’re required to not eat or drink anything from just before sunrise to just after sunset. This is a dry fast, which means you’re not drinking any water. 

What you eat before and after you fast is going to make or break your success. Having junk food or refined carbohydrates before and after your fast could inhibit some of the effects you could achieve from fasting. However, low-carb, keto-friendly foods may be much more beneficial to have during your meals. Ketones are even anti-microbial.

Benefits of fasting:

• Decreased cytokines
• Increased macrophages 
• Increase the microbiome 
• Increased resistance to stress
• Decrease in oxidative stress 
• Increased autophagy and xenophagy

Today we’re going to talk about the huge connection between vitamin D and autoimmune diseases. 

The thymus gland is an immune gland that produces a very specific T cell called the T regulatory cell or T suppressor cell. One of the main jobs of this important T cell is to prevent autoimmune diseases. 

An autoimmune disease is tissue that has antibodies against itself. It’s an inappropriate immune response. 

One of the main functions of a T regulatory cell is something called central tolerance—tolerating the body tissue and not attacking it. 

A big function of the thymus gland is determining the self from a foreign enemy or pathogen. If it finds an immune cell that’s going to self-attack, it will execute it. 

The T regulatory cell:

• Inhibits inappropriate autoimmune responses 
• Is being used as a treatment in certain autoimmune diseases 

If you don’t have the T regulatory cell function, your risk for allergies, asthma, and miscarriage goes up. 

T regulatory cells majorly need vitamin D. A vitamin D deficiency can also potentially cause a miscarriage or other problems with the baby, because of how vitamin D feeds this T cell. 

If you have an autoimmune disease, you may want to consider taking high amounts of vitamin D, because vitamin D is an anti-inflammatory nutrient. T regulatory cells are anti-inflammatory as well. They are also immunosuppressive—they keep the immune system in balance.

0:08 What is HIV?
0:32 The T helper cell
2:10 HIV and the T helper cell
2:26 Helper T cells—functions
3:52 Vitamin D

In this video, I want to share something really important about the immune system. To help you understand this point, I’m going to relate it to how HIV destroys the immune system.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This virus causes something called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This is a broadly named condition that can create a lot of problems. Mainly, you lose your immune system.

This virus has a unique strategy of attacking the helper T cell. By doing this, it basically knocks out the rest of your army.

The T helper cell is one of the T cells, and it’s the most important immune cell. It’s required for all adaptive responses.

HIV will fuse with the T helper cell and then start taking over the DNA and reproducing. This completely wipes out your T cells. Now, you basically don’t have much of an immune system anymore.

Your T helper cells:
• Activates and grows your killer T cells
These cells are dedicated to killing viruses

• Maximizes the killing power of the macrophages
Macrophages are cells that eat viruses and bacteria

• Activate B cells
B cells make antibodies that help neutralize chemical reactions

If you wipe out the T helper cell, you won’t get any of the above actions either.

There is a nutrient that can keep T helper cells strong. This nutrient is vitamin D. If you’re deficient in vitamin D, your T helper cells will be suppressed. Vitamin D is crucial in immune function.
