so you always want to fast during an infection as much as possible

it’s going to really help you we’re going to talk about why fasting is

amazing it delays aging it can extend your life span it does the

same thing with insects and animals and when we get sick

we tend to lose our appetite the reason why is because

fasting creates a profound effect on your immune system

there’s all sorts of genetic survival mechanisms that occur

when we stop eating when you stop eating your body starts to

burn your fat you start making ketones ketones have anti-infective properties

so they can act as a antimicrobial to some degree also when you fast you

increase the survival of your t cells and your b cells okay

now the t cells are the ones that run the immune

system kill microbes help put the fire out help

reduce inflammation b cells have to do with making

antibodies so you have a memory of the infection so

you can fight the infection off the next time that microbe comes around

fasting increases from the survival of both of these

but initially when you fast you get a drop in the white blood cells the

lymphocytes decrease in the blood now where are they

going they’re going into the bone marrow and

they’re going into the gut and they’re recharging and they’re

eating now we get an increase in memory cells which help

destroy pathogens much faster there’s also specific spike

in the t helper cells this is the cell

that coordinates all the other immune actions so it’s like the general of the

army and it just so happens as a side note

the aids virus goes after this right here so it

goes after the controller it has some intelligence

that it knows that if it takes this guy out

it takes the entire army out well fasting will

increase the tea helper cells you also get autophagy if you fast long enough

autophagy is a special condition where your body starts to

clean up old damaged white blood cells and things that are not needed and

recycles them also there’s other things that autophagy

can stimulate too helping control viral infections

decreasing inflammation and also presenting antigens now what does that

mean presenting energies well certain t cells need to be guided

so they need certain pathogens that are tagged like a

little exon the virus is back saying kill me

and this is what this is all about but you can look at antigens as a little

piece of a microbe like if you were to take um

i don’t know if you had a uh i don’t know like maybe a dog that’s trying to

sniff out drugs and you let the dog smell a certain drug

and he would actually go look for it because now he

has a scent of it and he can find it the same thing with your

immune cells this is like the scent or a piece or a particle

of that pathogen so it knows what to go after

and other cells do the dirty work by killing the pathogens

this is interesting in a three-day fast you can have profound

effects over your immune system you will trigger the stem cells that

regenerate the immune cell you may think it’s going to be very

difficult but as soon as you start fasting

it’s going to get easier and easier and easier i would take your nutrients when

you’re fasting but the point is you can greatly

strengthen your immune system there’s two ways that this infection can

affect you one is directly from the pathogen itself

and two is from the collateral damage from your own immune system

especially like rheumatoid arthritis or even autoimmune diseases the damage

is not coming from the pathogen even those pathogens involved it’s

coming from your own immune system that’s creating all this

collateral damage so when you fast you dramatically reduce

inflammation i would also recommend during an infection to take vitamin d i

would also recommend taking oregano oil which is great for bacterial infections

also in viral garlic is a very powerful and definitely

olive leaf extract for viral infections so

you take these in an empty stomach plus fasting

now you have a really good program and if you haven’t taken my immune course

yet it’s a free course 21 lessons i put a link down below definitely sign
