now this is an interesting topic that stress  can actually activate mostly viruses but some  

bacterias and induce an infection okay so we have  tb which is triggered by stress herpes simplex  

like in a cold sore which is very common in fact  i think from that mistake in 90% of the population  

has that virus shingles which comes out during  stress which is caused by a virus it hangs out  

in a dormant stage and it’s activated when you go  through stress h pylori which can trigger an ulcer  

this is why when you go through stress sometimes  stress can cause an ulcer and then the common cold  

in fact there’s an interesting  study which i’ll put down below  

that is the activation of a cold and the severity  is directly related to the proportion of stress  

that a person can go through now not everyone  who gets stressed gets the cold but it’s very  

common that you get stressed and then you get  the cold which mostly comes from a rhinovirus  

which affects the upper respiratory system  and even move to the lower respiratory system  

then you have hiv which is not caused by stress  but it can actually trigger hiv going into aids  

which is a condition where you have no more immune  system so you get all sorts of complications  

now just from an observation standpoint being  a practice for 30 years i’m going to venture  

to say that nearly 100% of the time when you ask  someone when did you start noticing this infection  

it was nearly always right after a  stress event which is interesting so  

stress tends to lower your resistance it  makes you more susceptible to pulling in an  

infection so you have acute stress and you have  a chronic stress acute stress affects the innate  

part of the immune system that’s the immune system  that you’re born with that pretty much is kind of  

like a more of a general immune system then you  have a more specific immune system that targets  

certain pathogens that’s called the acquired  immune system and that’s something you develop  

by being exposed and developing antibodies  and adapting to your environment  

so chronic stress suppresses the  acquired immune system more than anything  

so when you go through stress you activate  cortisol and cortisol is the stress hormone  

that suppresses the white blood cells so  this explains why when you’re under stress  

you don’t have that barrier as much anymore so  you actually have a lowered immune system you’re  

more susceptible to pulling in pathogens  you have decreased amount of antibodies  

and you’re more susceptible to getting food  allergies stress actually alters the gut barrier  

which allows pathogens to invade and then create  an immune reaction and then create allergies and  

this also explains autoimmune disorders which i’ve  talked about in other videos being triggered by  

losses which hands down is the biggest  stress that someone can go through  

probably the second biggest stress is people  stress certain personalities that you’re  

in a relationship with that you can’t  seem to get out a relationship with  

that’s that’s that can be very bad for your  immune system and also in just the susceptibility  

of getting uh infections so if you haven’t seen  my recent video on stress it’s a great technique  

to really relax your body through life and try to  try to keep your body as stress-free as possible  

i’ll put a link down below hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment

everyone is focused on this over here  avoiding your environment but what about here  

what about strengthening your immune system  that’s what’s missing this course will show  

you how to bulletproof yourself and so you can  tolerate and resist your environment much better  

by strengthening your own immune system i put  a link down in the description right down below
