so I want to chat about something very interesting about the coronavirus

typically the symptoms and there’s actually quite a lot of different

symptoms but mainly you get fever you’re tired a dry cough shortness of breath

sore throat your lungs start to become inflamed and

there’s a series of symptoms but recently there’s been an observation

that there’s an additional symptom okay and it’s a loss of smell the medical

name for loss of smell is anosmia OK you can also get a loss of taste

where everything just tastes like cardboard that has been recently found

to be a common symptom of the coronavirus so the question is why and I have

some ideas the first thing I want to tell you is that there’s a certain

enzyme that’s involved in your perception of smell and taste and this

is the name of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase 6 and this essential enzyme

for taste and smell is zinc dependent ok and now I’m not sure that you know this

but one big symptom of a zinc deficiency is a loss of smell and a loss of taste

you can even go online and order a zinc test which basically you take a little

zinc and you put it in your mouth and if you cannot taste anything your zinc

deficient because usually zinc tastes very metallic so if you actually taste

that metallic taste you have enough zinc if you don’t taste it you are deficient

so you can actually get that test and see for yourself but if you do research

on this symptom alone ok a loss to smell it will list a series of causes and I’m

going to go through them and I want to show you how many of them are related

and connected to zinc because I really think the reason for this symptom is a

zinc deficiency for a couple reasons one is that when you go through an infection

especially in your lungs you use up a lot of zinc zinc is not stored that

well so unless you’re constantly consuming zinc chances are you’re going

to be deficient on top of that if you get this infection you’re gonna be even

more deficient and zinc has a huge purpose of protecting you against

microbes and especially viruses it’s a really key immune protector for the

immune system so let’s take a look at the causes of loss of smell first of all

we have upper respiratory infection we already know that 16 percent of

pneumonia cases are actually caused by a zinc deficiency okay so there’s

definitely that relationship nasal polyps next one idiopathic

hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

now say that three times real fast

basically the testicles are shrinking and idiopathic means we don’t know why

okay unknown cause well guess what zinc deficiency will cause hypogonadism as

well as low testosterone next one hypothyroidism antibiotics diabetes high

levels of sugar in the blood will deplete zinc FYI Cushing’s syndrome this

is a condition where you have high cortisol high cortisol and or stress

will deplete zinc and then we have the next one cadmium poisoning cadmium

cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that will definitely deplete zinc so that’s

probably why you have a loss of smell because the cadmium depletes zinc and

then you have this next one which I already told you a zinc deficiency so

loss of smell could be caused by a zinc deficiency

here’s next one kallmann syndrome what is this this is a genetic condition

where you have hypogonadism then we have this last one primary ciliary dyskinesia

now what the heck is that and this just means the genetic disorder involving a

function of your sperm well guess what sperm is highly influenced by the amount

of zinc in your body so what can we learn from this information well the

loss of smell potentially could be a zinc deficiency and if you take zinc not

only will you be able to improve the sense of smell but you will also

increase the strength of the immune system so what can someone take away

from this information well just the importance of zinc and how vitally

important it is not just for smell but to protect your immune system to

decrease the duration where someone is going through an infection and the fact

that when someone has an infection they’re probably already deficient so if

you haven’t seen my video on boosting the immune system check it out I put it

right here
