so and another question from someone

that wanted to know how do we tell the

difference between a viral and a

bacterial infection well it’s really

really difficult because the symptoms

are so similar unless you get a blood

test to rule out a bacterial infection

you’re not going to really know but

you’re the common symptoms between both

of them fever you get a cold

you have mucus muscle ache sore throat

also realize that most respiratory

infections are more viral but they can

be bacterial and also you can have a

combination between both of them

together so it’s very very confusing if

it’s viral it could last seven to ten

days if it’s bacterial it could last a

little bit longer about two weeks also

realize that if it’s a viral infection

antibiotics will not work one of the

problems that I see with a lot of people

is that they run to the doctor every

time they have a cold or infection they

take an antibiotic what’s gonna happen

you’re gonna develop antibiotic

resistance over time and they’re not

going to work eventually because every

time you take them you set yourself up

for microbes growing stronger resistance

against these antibiotics and it also

weakens your immune system it decreases

the flora in your gut creates secondary

infection so try not to do that very

often that’s very important now the two

things that happen with infections

number one is the direct damage the

pathogen causes on your body tissue but

also the collateral damage that your own

body’s immune system creates when it

releases certain oxidants to kill off

the microbes okay one thing that can

protect you against that is putting your

body in ketosis when you increase

ketones you can decrease the damage from

these oxidants that your own immune

system is releasing that’s why it’s

going into ketosis is very very

beneficial when you’re getting sick but

because you may not really know if it’s

a bacterial or a viral thing here’s some

remedies that I recommend first one is

olive leaf extract this is really good

for putting viruses back in remission

but it can also be good for bacteria

okay calcium calcium is really good to

help the viruses go back and remission

because realize that a virus is not

really alive in the first place it’s a

piece of Menelik material wrapped in a

sack

that can only invade our tissues if our

resistance is low okay if you’re

susceptible to getting that virus so now

let’s just say you’re in a plane and

someone’s coughing you’re gonna have

certain people that may get sick certain

people that won’t it really depends on

your resistance your your sleeping your

stress level especially stress your diet

your nutrients in your body so as long

as you are fortified with nutrition as

long as your have a low stress that

changes a beginning and are a lot less

okay but the point is that calcium helps

to put these viruses back in remission I

always recommend if you have small

children if they have a fever give them

a little calcium it seems to work really

well also you want to increase your

temperature so climb in bed with a lot

of covers and clothes on so you can

sweat that’s gonna actually help take a

hot bath hot shower to increase the

temperature which actually can help

speed things up garlic very good for

bacterial and viral infections put

garlic and everything eat the cloves

have pickle garlic garlic and onion

really good to consume and the last

thing the most important thing is the

fasting when you are sick you lose your

appetite usually right well that’s

because your body is telling you don’t

eat so fast and can greatly speed up the

time it takes to overcome these

infections so fast as long as you can

don’t do snacking through the day and

you can actually really get through this

a lot faster thanks for watching so if
