so it’s not the virus that kills you it’s actually your own immune system

let’s talk about that so the virus doesn’t have a metabolism it’s not even

alive how can something not alive actually kill you well what happens is

this you have this inactive shell with some DNA material in there that has very

specific instructions to replicate because there’s certain things on the

surface of that virus that connect to certain tissues and certain receptors in

your cell like a lock and a key now COVID-19 connects to what’s called

the ACE 2 receptor in your cells and then they’re able to get into the cell

once they’re inside the cell your immune system doesn’t see them so their goal is

to get into the cell as fast as possible and start to replicate and it hijacks

your copy machine your machinery your metabolism to replicate so that’s

actually creating a lot of damage and then it creates this immune reaction

however that’s not what kills you what kills you is this take a look at this we

have two parts of the immune system we have the innate which is the system that

doesn’t need to be trained it’s the first line of defense and then we have

the special forces called the adapted part of the immune system so if we think

about a worst case scenario you’re in intensive care you’re on a respirator

you’re getting a lot of inflammation going on in lung it’s called a cytokine

storm which is a condition where your lungs are on fire there’s inflammation

going on there’s a lot of oxidation there’s a lot of free radical damage and

it’s creating a massive destruction which then creates bleeding and fibrosis

and scar tissue where you eventually just stop breathing

also this destructive inflammatory condition is happening on the inside of

your arteries and it can even create blood clots you might want to look at

this as an overreacting immune system but in reality it’s really not because

this part of the immune system is only overreacting because part of this system

is not working so you have what’s called the T suppressor cells these cells

suppress or regulate the over reaction one of the purposes is to prevent too

much inflammation they basically are the fire department that floods the water to

put out the fire they also prevent autoimmune diseases but this is your car

this would be the brake pad and this is the accelerator so we have this severe

imbalance where we lose this and then we have too much of this and that’s really

what’s killing people the virus is a trigger and it’s definitely causing a

damage in this area but you have to realize that the virus really only kills

people with a weak immune system and it’s usually certain metabolic

conditions that are causing a weakness within these specific cells right here

now in the HIV virus that targets what’s called the T helper cell this cell is

like the quarterback within the entire immune system and it just will knock

this guy right out and now there’s actually no control you have no more

immune system and that’s how someone would die other strategies will block

your vitamin D levels and if you don’t have enough vitamin D

these cells can’t work and you can’t put out the fire this is why vitamin D is

very anti-inflammatory not having enough vitamin D can create this imbalance

certain viruses can create this imbalance having a pre-existing health

issue can create this imbalance as well so you put all these things together and

you’re really at risk from having problems but you have to realize it’s

not the virus itself that is creating this it’s a lot of other things that are

going on at the same time now one of the defense mechanisms that your immune

system has is creating a fever because creating a fever decreases the duration

of infections in fact it increases your chances of living because it slows down

the viral replication but if your immune system is weak guess what you may not

even have a fever not having a fever yet having an infection means that your

immune system is broken also having a preexisting health problem you already

are going into this condition with low amounts of antioxidants the problem with

that is that this overreaction is creating so much inflammation so much

oxidation so many free radicals if we don’t have the antioxidants to counter

that that’s when people start dying this whole video is really about emphasizing

the importance of your immune system because if your immune system is strong

this virus really does not play a big threat especially if you understand how

to strengthen it but if you want information on that I put the video up

right here check it out
