let’s talk about copd chronic

obstructive

pulmonary disease what does this word

mean it means that there’s a lung

disease

that takes a bit of time to develop

that’s the word chronic obstructive

means you’re not able to breathe to a

certain degree

another name for copd is emphysema

some of the symptoms there’s quite a few

the most common ones are shortness of

breath

coughing mucus the problem with copd is

it’s a progressive

condition that eventually leads to

pulmonary hypertension so you’re getting

blood pressure that’s going up in your

lungs

and it’s going to put a lot of stress on

the right ventricle that’s the right

part of your heart it’s the pump that

pushes all your blood to the entire body

so as you stress the right part of that

pump

it’s going to eventually weaken and

you’ll start to get edema

you’ll usually see that in your ankles

so if you see swelling in your ankles

then we know this is going on right here

now if we take a look at what’s

happening inside your lungs

you have these little pouches called

alveoli they look like little clusters

of grapes

okay normally they look like this when

you have copd

they look like this so you lose the

shape of these little pouches

because there’s a tremendous amount of

irritation

from either smoke or some other

substance that’s creating a

constant inflammatory process this word

comes from the latin word which means

uh cavity because it’s a little

pouch-like hole

now the purpose of the alveoli is just

to exchange

certain gases it’s pulling in

co2 from the blood and it’s adding into

the circulation

oxygen so we have this exchange between

oxygen and co2

so you have this very very thin lining

of the alveoli

that allows this diffusion to take place

and right outside

that thin layer you have these tiny

little

blood vessels called capillaries so

we’re really

mixing in the oxygen with the blood

so it acts sort of like a carburetor the

carburetor

is the lung of your engine where you’re

actually pulling in

oxygen mixing it with fuel with the

right ratio a little spark plug

and creating energy so the problem with

copd

is this chronic irritation creates

inflammation

in something called oxidation and

oxidation is basically it’s like a

rusting out effect

of your your body tissue and the more

the body rusts out

it creates inflammation and it’s going

to try to heal

incorrectly with too much scar tissue we

call that fibrosis

and so we get a thickening of this

membrane

and when the membrane becomes thicker

you slowly lose your ability to

exchange gases and get oxygen so you

have

more difficulty breathing so it’s

basically shutting off the oxygen

to this carburetor right here now one of

the problem with this is that you’re

also getting a buildup of co2

carbon dioxide and that’s going to

affect your breathing because you’re

breathing in

something that’s mimicking additional

smoke it’s just like

not oxygen it’s just kind of like this

other thing that’s going to

irritate your lungs greatly in summary

that’s what copd is now what can you do

about it

there’s some really interesting research

on this

and it has to do with this right here

oxidation

at the heart of copd you’re getting a

massive amount of oxidation

there just happens to be an anti-oxidant

that can help stop this

maybe even reverse it some of the

studies were done in animals

not in humans yet but it makes sense

that it would work in humans as well

and it has to do with a type of vitamin

e

now most people might associate vitamin

e with

tocopherols but fairly recently there

was a

a type of vitamin e called tocotrinols

which

is really in nature part of the vitamin

e complex so you have

tocotrienols and you have tocopherols

the type of vitamin e that you would

need

to help reduce this oxidation would be

the tocotrienols

more than the tocopherols so you want to

get a supplement

that has a dosage of about 300

milligrams

okay of tocotrienols only tocotrinols

are

50 times stronger than the tocopherols

so it’s going to really help you reduce

this oxidation

and other things that are very

destructive

in the lung tissue so your inflammation

is going to come way down

with tocotrienos and i would take 300

milligrams i would take that three times

a day

on an empty stomach so the goal with

tocotrienols

is to stop the oxidation inflammation so

it doesn’t turn into

fibrosis but if you think about vitamin

e in general what do people

use it for they use it for scarring

right so

you’re reducing scar on the skin well

why not just take it internally to

reduce scarring too

not just in your lungs but also in the

liver there’s some great data on

cirrhosis

but you can also use it on copd to help

break down some of the scarring in the

lungs

next remedy is vitamin d3

i would venture to say that a hundred

percent of patients with copd

are severely deficient in vitamin d you

have a lot of receptors for vitamin d in

the lung

one of the treatments for copd is

steroids okay

like prednisone and other and other

types of steroids that are like

bronchosteroid inhalers because steroids

are anti-inflammatory

and vitamin d is the closest thing to

that steroid cortisol that we’re talking

about it acts like this

anti-inflammatory

but without the side effects

it’s a very powerful anti-inflammatory

but you have to take enough

so you want to take about 40 000

international units of

vitamin d3 every single day

okay that’s going to reduce inflammation

and

help you breathe what intermittent

fasting will do is drop your

inflammation even more

the more frequent you eat the more

inflammation you’re going to have in

your body

the goal is to minimize the damage

control

and extend your life so we want to

really attack

this right here as much as possible

because this is causing

this cause effect so fasting is going to

be necessary

periodic prolonged fasting so a fasting

of 72 hours let’s say every so often

maybe every two weeks

would greatly help you why because it’s

going to increase

stem cells stem cells are

cells that don’t have a purpose yet

they’re undifferentiated cells they’re

kind of like basic

cells that can turn into tissue like any

different type of tissue

so when you do prolong fasting your body

will

use these stem cells to replace

the damaged tissue of your lungs and not

only that

it’s going to stimulate something called

a tophagee

autophagy is like a recycling action of

your body

in autophagy recycles damaged

proteins fibrosis

is a protein it’s a scarring it’s going

to help recycle and break that down

and use that as energy and through its

recycling

brand new tissue so fastening will help

the lungs in various ways

dropping inflammation and actually

correcting some of this damage through

here as well

number four keto the way you do keto is

you drop your carbohydrates

and then your body starts to switch over

into ketones

from fat fuel ketones are very

anti-inflammatory

again another way to drop inflammation

vitamin c not synthetic but from actual

food or

food concentrate vitamin c is

another powerful anti-inflammatory

and there’s some additional studies

which i’ll put down below that shows

that will increase your oxygen

and decrease the co2 so this is very

important as well

osha root is a native american indian

remedy for lung disorders so this is

another

great thing to consider right here

all right what is the other problem with

copd usually people develop it from

smoking and sometimes

they are still smoking even though

they’ve been diagnosed with this

condition

so it’s very very difficult for certain

people to give up smoking

100 because of its addictive qualities

and it’s mainly from this chemical

called nicotine which i want to talk

about now

nicotine is interesting because

it stimulates a part of the nervous

system that relaxes you

it actually causes a stress reduction

through your whole body

and in fact it can help you breathe a

little bit better this is why

when people go out and smoke you can

just see them calm down they feel like

they can finally

breathe as they’re breathing in all the

smoke the problem with nicotine it comes

with additional package

of the extra smoke that’s creating this

right here

so ultimately the goal would be to

handle the addiction to that at the

cellular level

the receptors for nicotine have been

altered

to the point where they’re downgraded

so a lot of the effects of feeling calm

stress relief are now dependent

on this thing right here so unless you

continually take in this nicotine

your stress level goes up you might get

slightly irritable you might get angry

you might have depression

it can really affect your uh your brain

nicotine also stimulates adrenaline

and adrenaline is interesting because

adrenaline constricts the arteries

except for two parts of your body

one is in the heart the main artery of

the heart is called the coronary

nicotine actually opens up and

vasodilates that artery so it increases

more blood flow to the heart

in the lungs it creates a vasodilation

effect it opens up the lung tissue so

you can breathe better

but everywhere else it constricts the

arteries so that’s

a very unique thing about adrenaline

well nicotine increases adrenaline

the problem is it kind of burns out your

adrenals so eventually

it’s harder and harder to create that

effect so you need sometimes you need

more and more nicotine to create that

same effect

to the point where you just don’t have

enough adrenaline your body

to keep your lungs open so unless you’re

taking nicotine

to try to kind of stimulate that

everything kind of shuts down

nicotine also stimulates two other

chemicals in your body that greatly

affect your mood

and your pleasure so sometimes if you

don’t smoke

these don’t really work in your body so

your stress level goes up with that as

well

the best way to handle any type of

withdrawal symptoms or any type of

addiction

is to replace it with something else

so there’s a couple things that i would

recommend there’s something called

mormon tea

now there used to be this herb called

mae hong that was

available that you could take for

various things

uh it was actually really good for the

lungs but

it created other complications so they

banned it from the market

but mormon tea has a kind of a

mild effect of stimulating adrenaline

so it can actually help open up the

lungs it’s very mild

but this could potentially act to give

you some relief so the need for this can

go down

also if you take a look at the

withdrawal symptoms of nicotine

you have increased stress nervous

anxiety

and grouchiness or anger and things like

that

vitamin b1 counters that so if you start

taking

b1 through the day that will minimize

the side effects

the last thing to realize about nicotine

is that in order for the

receptors to bounce back and reset to go

back to normal

it could be between two to six weeks

okay

the very latest so realize that these

withdrawal symptoms are only temporary

and if you can just stick it out for two

to six weeks it’s going to be a lot

easier to completely handle

this addiction right here all right in

summary i put all these things to do

in the description down below check them

out and thanks for watching

before you go if you have a question

about a product or you’re new to keto

and you want to know how to begin keto

or you’re on keto

and you need a debug because it’s not

going as smooth

i have a keto consultant standing by to

help you

this is just for the people in the us

hopefully in the future we’ll be able to

answer everyone’s call

but i put the number down below so you

can call

and get some help
