COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Cytokine Storm Simplified

Here’s what you need to know about a COVID-19 cytokine storm.

3:28 The cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells
3:42 Perforin 
5:15 Zinc and perforin 

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. 

The macrophages are large immune cells that can eat and dissolve certain things like microbes, viruses, and bacteria. 

The B-cell is a part of the immune system that helps you develop antibodies. If you’re exposed to the virus later on, you have protection. 

The mast cell is involved with histamine reactions. 

Interferon releases cytokines, but this is not a cell, it’s a body chemical. This is heavily involved in attacking viruses.

Cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells have a weapon to kill off the cell that’s infected with the virus. This weapon is called perforin. 

It has been found that with a cytokine storm, perforin is defective. If a person has a genetic defect or problem making perforin and is deficient, that person may have a tendency to have a cytokine storm in the body. It could also be that a person’s immune system is weak and they are deficient in perforin. 

Zinc can actually enhance perforin. This is just another reason to get more zinc.

Coronavirus Destroys Sense of Smell: Why?

There is an additional symptom of the coronavirus—the loss of smell. Why could this be happening?
 
Timestamps
0:03 Coronavirus symptoms 
0:24 Newly discovered coronavirus symptoms 
0:49 The enzyme involved in taste and smell
1:09 Zinc and the loss of the sense of smell and taste
1:40 What causes anosmia?
4:33 Zinc is incredibly important

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. 

Potential anosmia causes that could be connected to zinc:

• Upper respiratory infection 
• Nasal polyp 
• Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 
• Hypothyroid 
• Antibiotics 
• Diabetes 
• Cushing’s syndrome 
• Cadmium poisoning
• Zinc deficiency 
• Kallmann syndrome 
• Primary ciliary dyskinesia 

A loss of smell could potentially be because of a zinc deficiency. Taking zinc might not only help improve the sense of smell, but it also might help increase the strength of the immune system. Overall, zinc is a vitally important mineral.

In this short video, we’re going to talk about caffeine and hair growth. I’m not saying you should go and pour some coffee over your head. But, there is some research on the effects of caffeine for hair growth.  

Interesting effects of caffeine:

1. Stimulating hair follicle growth 
2. Counters the suppressive action of DHT (DHT blocks and suppresses hair growth)
3. Stimulates faster hair growth 

*There are caffeinated shampoos that may work as a hair loss shampoo.

One reason some older men and women experience hair loss is because of their free testosterone going down. A lot of other problems can accompany a low testosterone issue. But, in this situation, zinc can also be very beneficial. Zinc is important in helping to regulate testosterone.

Key Reasons For a Zinc Deficiency

6:44 How much zinc do you need?

Today we’re going to talk about zinc. I want to cover the key zinc deficiency causes and the things that can help increase your absorption of zinc. I believe zinc is probably one of the most important trace minerals. Over 2 billion people are at least somewhat deficient in zinc. 

The big problem with zinc is that we don’t store zinc very well. So, unless you’re consuming it every day, you could end up having a zinc deficiency. 

Zinc can affect:

• The reproductive organs 
• Skin health 
• The immune system 

Here are a couple of things that can decrease the absorption of zinc:

• Too much calcium 
• Too much iron 
• Excessive amounts of copper
• Phytates (bran, rice, grains, corn)
• Cadmium 
• Casein 
• Gut damage 
• A lot of tannins 
• A lot of sulfites 
• Infection 
• Refined sugar
• Stress

Here are a couple of things that can increase the absorption of zinc:

• Strong stomach acid
• Enough protein 
• Red meat 
• Shellfish (especially oysters)
• Nuts/Seeds
• Cheese 

The amount of zinc you should consider getting per day is 8-13 mg.

In this video, we’re going to talk about zinc and your immune system. Zinc is probably one of the most important trace minerals because it does so many different things. But, one of the most important health benefits of zinc is that it can help support the immune system. 

Zinc is involved in:
• Genes and making DNA
• Many different enzymes
• Protein synthesis 
• Wound healing 
• Heart health 
• Joint health 
• Insulin 
• Thymus function
• Gonads

What can happen in relation to your immune system if you have a zinc deficiency:
• Thymic atrophy 
• Decreased lymphocytes 
• Defective white blood cell response 
• Low recovery rate 
• Increased duration of infections 
• Increased inflammation 
• Increased oxidative stress
• Decreased capacity to fight off infections
• Increased susceptibility to viruses and infections

Foods high in zinc:
• Oysters
• Red meat 
• Seafood/fish
• Pumpkin seeds

If you want to take zinc supplements, I think a good choice is zinc bisglycinate chelate. 

There are certain things that can prevent the absorption of zinc, such as:
• Phytates 
• Oxalates 
• Antacids 
• Malabsorption (pre-existing gut damage or inflammation)

Cheryl’s Testimonial

Cheryl’s health issues began in 2013: Four years of lung infections with prolonged use of medications; Pre-diabetes, perhaps caused by the medications and solved by diet changes; Hashimoto’s; Severe nerve pain all over her body that doctors were never able to diagnose or treat. In 2019, Cheryl found out about Dr. Joe and signed up for a live-streamed teaching and meditation. After months of daily meditation practice, Cheryl has been able to start weaning herself off of some medications, and her symptoms are much more tolerable.

Today we’re going to talk about why the sperm count is downtrending. From 1973 to 2011, sperm count has crashed down by 60%. 

A few potential causes of low sperm count and low sperm motility:

1. Phthalates (from plastics)
