did you realize that there’s a third function  of your immune system well that’s we’re going  

to talk about today the immune system helps you  fight pathogens it also helps you kill cancer  

in tumor cells but it’s also involved in a third  function and that would be wound healing now this  

goes beyond inflammation and there’s a cell that  you have called macrophages and a macrophage means  

big cell that eats and it’s one of the  first lines of defense against uh infections

to comply so it’s kind of like a guard that  waits for some pathogen to invade the body  

and then it will just go after and heat it up  there’s another phagocyte called neutrophils  

now the neutrophils are really like the main  front line of defense and then you have the  

macrophage that actually will back them  up but they both tend to work together

now when you have acute inflammation like let’s  say a new injury or an infection that would be  

the neutrophils that jump in there and do their  job but when we get into chronic inflammation then  

we’re talking about the macrophages because even  the macrophages will eat up the dead neutrophils  

and they’re more involved in the chronic type  inflammatory condition so any condition that has  

an itis at the end of it like bursitis tendinitis  arthritis iliitis and the list goes on and on  

and on the macrophage is involved with that so  there’s so many different conditions that involve  

inflammation which basically brings the blood  and brings other things to the area for healing  

so what happens when you have inflammation  in various organs whether it’s the liver  

the kidneys the tendon the muscles the  arteries or the colon that inflammation  

can then turn into scar tissue so you have two  different things you have the normal healing cycle  

then you have something called pathogenic  inflammation or pathogenic wound healing  

and now you have this tissue that’s permanent that  doesn’t allow oxygen to go into it and it becomes  

dysfunctional and the more of that tissue you have  the more chronic inflammation you’re going to have  

and the more free radical damage you’re going  to have and then you’re also going to have  

a lack of function in that area so the  macrophage is involved with wound healing  

whether it’s normal or pathogenic every time you  work out at the gym and you damage your muscles  

the macrophage will come in there and help repair  the muscle it brings in certain growth factors for  

regeneration and the macrophage which is a white  blood cell actually will eat up the damaged tissue  

and it will also bring in growth factors and  fibrin which actually forms the scar tissue matrix  

and it’s stimulated with hypoxia or lack of oxygen  so that’s a trigger to recruit these macrophages  

what is the significance of this how  am i going to use this information  

well the same nutrition that supports the white  blood cells for immune protection is the same  

nutrition that you would use to support  wound healing so let me give you an example  

ulcers the remedy for that would be zinc  because zinc will stimulate the macrophages  

to help heal ulcers okay so that would be one  example another example would be vitamin d vitamin  

d is essential for your immune system to prevent  excessive amounts of over reaction or inflammation  

so if you have some type of condition where you  have chronic inflammation whether it’s in the  

nervous system or the joints or wherever so you’d  want to take vitamin d to support that macrophage  

all right here’s another thing you can do there’s  this transition from inflammation to scar tissue  

and it just so happens that tocotrinols which  is a very specific type of vitamin e will slow  

down that process and really what it’s doing it’s  actually helping support the macrophage in slowing  

down the release of that fibrous scar tissue so it  basically stops these immune cells from producing  

too much excessive amounts of scar tissue now that  could be in the lung that can be in your liver  

that can be in your arteries that can be in  the colon that can actually be high levels of  

iron because you have too much you’re taking too  much iron it could be an infection some type of  

microbe that’s doing it it can be too much calcium  in your body in which case you would need vitamin  

k2 to extract it or it could be too much glucose  glucose or sugar actually depletes antioxidants  

and it destroys the vascular system to different  tissues it’s a huge oxidizer that then causes a  

lot of free radical damage so of course what  i’m saying is get on the keto diet if you’re  

not already on one and then the last thing that  really creates a lot of inflammatory condition  

would be omega-6 fatty acids the soy oil the  canola oil the corn oils all the vegetable oils  

create a lot of oxidation which then creates a  lot of damage and what’s happening inside the  

body is you’re creating these wounds inside the  arteries inside the liver inside your tendons  

and the macrophages come in there and try to  heal it but if you don’t get rid of the trigger  

or provide the right nutrients it develops into  this excessive chronic inflammatory scar tissue  

situation where your body just can’t heal so we  have tocotrinols zinc vitamin d are essential  

but also fasting so fasting is very very powerful  to not only slow down inflammation but to help  

stimulate your macrophages into cleaning up all  the damaged proteins that have developed from the  

scar tissue all right guys thanks for watching and  if you haven’t seen my video on the immune system  

i put a link down below check it out 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
