so let’s talk about how vitamin D can

actually reduce your inflammation but

the first thing we need to understand is

what actually is inflammation well it’s

this the immune system responds to a

stimulus that is viewed as foreign or

toxic to your body

we call that an antigen so an antigen is

something that is foreign to the body

it’s a threat to the body where your

immune system then has to attack it and

get rid of it and dismantle it or

neutralize it in the process of dealing

with this foreign threat we’re gonna

create inflammation and inflammation is

going to mobilize our defences okay the

white blood cells so inflammation is

part of the defense mechanism very

similar to the TV series The Game of

Thrones where they had to defend the

wall well in your body you have an army

of cells that are constantly defending

against foreign attacks so there are

some incredibly sophisticated strategies

in complexities within your immune

system you have cells like the B

lymphocytes that act as advance guards

to protect certain tissues neutrophils

are like kamikaze pilots that will drop

certain chemical bombs to kill invading

microbes then you have macrophages which

basically gobble up the invaders they

just they just eat them

there’s no bombs of all betas will

consume them and then the T lymphocytes

track down and destroy the invaders and

they use certain chemicals they might

use hydrogen peroxide and other

oxidizing agents now a fever is used as

another mechanism to literally cook

these microbes to kill them but with

inflammation we get a blood rush to the

area that can bring the immune weapon

tree now with an inflammatory condition

after an injury that’s slightly

different your body’s not trying to kill

anything off it’s trying to mobilize a

joint for example to prevent motion your

body will produce pain signals to tell

you don’t move let this area heal

there’s all sorts of reparative actions

coming in there with collagen and scar

tissue to help mobilize and basically

repair the tissues so with

information you either have an

overreaction or an under reaction

depending on what’s going on so one of

the biggest weapons that your immune

system has are inflammatory chemicals

like cytokines prostaglandins and

leukotrienes so these chemicals are

communication messengers that help

signal and trigger the white blood cell

army so it can tell the immune system

what type of cell should be triggered

and how many should be triggered and

this is a very important part because if

it miscalculates or miss estimates and

it has too much immune system you can

create too much collateral damage and

that’s exactly what happens in

autoimmune diseases you have this your

own immune system that’s attacking

itself and destroying the entire body

and then you have this other effect

vascular dilation so you get swelling

you get redness you get more blood flow

in the area so inflammation has a

purpose but the problem is if there’s

too much firing or not enough firing and

the collateral damage let’s get the

vitamin D why is vitamin D so important

vitamin D is an immune modulator okay

what is a modulator that is something

that modifies or control something it

varies the strength of something okay

so vitamin D either turns up or turns

down these chemicals right here just

like aspirin will inhibit and turn down

prostaglandins vitamin D will do the

same thing but guess what it has no side

effects so whether you have inflammation

from an injury or an immune reaction

that has become chronic or an autoimmune

condition vitamin D is one of the best

approaches to take now as far as how

much to take I would take minimally

20,000 I use if you’re in the chronic

phase you might want to go up to 30,000

IU’s 40,000 maybe even 50,000 IU’s you

have to make sure you have vitamin k2

with it as well now if you just take a

look at how many people in the US alone

have

Rytas asthma allergies autoimmune

diseases fibromyalgia and these people

are not taking vitamin D because if they

were they wouldn’t even have the symptom

and they’re usually deficient in vitamin

D it’s just completely unnecessary for

them to suffer with pain inflammation

because vitamin D is so powerful so if

you have inflammation or you have pain

or you know someone that has

inflammation that’s gone on too long

recommend vitamin D at least 20,000 IU’s

it’d be good to have them take it with

food or with a little bit of fat because

it’s a fat soluble vitamin which will

help them absorb vitamin D a lot better

and last thing I want to say and then

I’ll stop talking is that the majority

of the population is deficient about a

min D we don’t get outside we don’t get

it from the Sun as much anymore and it’s

almost impossible to get vitamin D from

your food thanks for watching so if you
