so i have a very interesting video on chronic  inflammation and anemia now check this out one of  

the first line of defense against pathogens in our  body is the withholding of nutrition or starvation  

from other microbes now iron and a few other trace  minerals are required for microbes to grow so in  

other words both the good bacteria and the bad  pathogens need iron or they require iron to be  

able to grow that’s one of the foods so i want  to introduce you to a word called sequestration  

this word describes a condition where  your body is binding up for locking up  

iron and other trace minerals to  prevent pathogens from getting that food  

so the free iron that you had in the body is  rapidly being bound up by certain compounds so  

we have this interesting game between your body  and pathogens your body sensing an infection and  

inflammation and a fever will quickly lock up  that iron to prevent the pathogens from growing  

the pathogen has counter strategies to  break open your cells and get that iron  

both the good and bad bacteria are trying to  survive but your body if it’s healthy will be  

able to do its job and prevent the microbe from  growing and this is why when certain people have  

too much iron they have a certain condition where  they can absolutely not get rid of iron and they  

just have too much they’re very susceptible to  getting infections that’s why as a side note  

the microorganism and lyme disease has developed  a strategy to get its food from not iron but from  

manganese so it’ll it’ll just be like okay you  can take your iron i’ll take manganese and it’ll  

survive that way now what’s normally supposed to  happen is you get this infection or you have this  

inflammation so you have this thing going on  right here and then you overcome the infection  

and the inflammation the fever goes away and now  this iron is available now for your cells to use  

to grow but what happens when you go into  a chronic inflammatory condition okay  

as an autoimmune problem whether it’s rheumatoid  arthritis or whatever you can become very  

deficient in iron and become anemic and feel  weak in your mind you might say well okay well  

i’m just going to take some iron here to feed  my body and give it more trace minerals well the  

problem is you’re going to feed the pathogens at  the same time a much better strategy would be to  

handle the deeper root cause of the inflammation  whether it is a subclinical microbial infection or  

just your immune system is out of control and it’s  attacking your own tissues in which case fasting  

is the answer to that regular intermittent  fasting with periodic prolonged fasting  

if you’re new to my channel you definitely need  to see those videos i put those down below and  

in addition to fasting vitamin d in larger amounts  minimally 30 000 ius but probably 40 000 or more  

would be necessary to help reduce the inflammation  and that would allow your body to make these  

trace minerals especially iron more available  to your own tissue so you can actually use it  

and i thought this was interesting especially to  those who have chronic inflammatory conditions  

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
