well hello today we’re gonna talk about

vitamin D in relationship to your immune

system now I had this idea that I

already had this video and I searched

and I couldn’t find it

there may be a video out that I just

can’t find that I already did but I’m

just gonna do a video specifically on

the immune system first thing you need

to know is that vitamin D is intimately

connected to every single immune

reaction in fact the white blood cells

have the ability to make vitamin D

active so in vitamin E is very important

in fact viruses as one of their

strategies is to downgrade or turn off

the vitamin D receptor so you can’t get

any more vitamin D because apparently

they know that vitamin E is very very

important and so that’s one way that

they thrive so vitamin D deficiencies

occur when there’s not enough Sun right

in the winter why do you think we have

the spike of flu and other viral

infections it’s because the vitamin D is

low in fact in the pandemic of 1918 a

Spanish flu it peaked in January which

is in the winter now another thing

that’s interesting about the winter

months or basically between November and

March we have much higher incidence of

autoimmune diseases like lupus ms type 1

diabetes rheumatoid arthritis irritable

bowel disease why because vitamin D is a

natural kind of a steroid

anti-inflammatory and so it has a key

function in reducing inflammation when

you have an autoimmune disease the thing

that really creates the damage is the

inflammatory process so if you have

enough d you can have a lot less

inflammation

it’s the inflammation that causes all

the collateral damage and what’s wild

about this is our own body is creating

damage and so that’s just it’s just

really bizarre vitamin D is a immuno

modulator

okay what does that mean modulator it

means that it helps to normalize

something that is too much or too little

so it brings into a normal range and

specifically when we talk about like the

cytokine storm where you have this hyper

inflammatory condition we have this

overreaction vitamin D can actually calm

it down

the ki cell that’s involved with

suppressing this these cytokines or

these inflammatory compounds is the T

regulatory cell next thing we’re to talk

about is there’s two compounds that your

immune system makes as anti microbials

and both of these need vitamin D vitamin

D is essential in producing these two

compounds the first one is called

catalase side ins and cathal aside ins

are produced by the phagocytes

macrophages and neutrophils to act as a

weapon to kill off microbes and they

tend to damage the wall of the cell the

cellular membrane of the pathogen and

punch a hole in it and if there’s not

enough vitamin D you’ll have just too

much inflammation and when side effect

would be psoriasis many times people

with psoriasis have gut problems and

they can’t absorb vitamin D in which

case they need to take higher doses next

chemical is defense in you need vitamin

D to make defensive defense and is

needed in the mucous membranes breast

milk has defensin it’s a very powerful

antimicrobial if you don’t have vitamin

D this can also get out of control and

it can create rosacea another remedy for

rosacea which is like the reddish cheeks

vitamin D now before antibiotics doctors

used a vitamin D compound in cod liver

oil as the remedy to help infections

like TB for example so cod liver oil was

used son was recommended for TB but then

it came antibiotics

and then the cod liver oil was no longer

talked about except by your grandmother

cod liver oil is a really good source of

vitamin D and vitamin A for the mucous

membranes and omega-3 fatty acids DHA

and EPA but the Sun not only gives you

vitamin D but it has other properties

too that can help lower infection there

are therapeutic benefits from the UV

light and other wavelengths including

infrared I just want to give you an

overall understanding of the importance

of vitamin D and also let you know that

it’s virtually impossible to get your

vitamin D from food you need to get it

from Sun ideally and during the winter

months take it as a supplement see you

in the next video with another amazing

recipe no brains no sugar

totally Kido there’s no suffering kita

absolutely not Karen and it’s an immune

system builder absolutely you have to

check this out I think you should hurry

up watch the recipe and make it yourself

it’s just so easy to be keto

but is it simple it’s super simple we

hope you enjoy making it as much as we

are enjoying eating
