today we’re going to talk about the

relationship between coronavirus and

your lungs so the word Corona comes from

a crown because the coronavirus has

these little projections that look like

a little crown and these little

projections have affinity for lung

tissue so in certain cases especially if

you’re critical or it’s very very severe

there’s a high rate of the person

getting a condition called ARDS acute

respiratory distress syndrome in this

situation you have severe hypoxia that

means you have a lack of oxygen

other symptoms rapid breathing dizziness

breathlessness sweating and here’s

what’s happening at the very end of your

bronchial tree you have these little air

sacs called alveoli and they’re just

these little empty sacks okay that have

a very thin wall and they butt up

against these tiny capillaries so what’s

happening is we have the oxygen coming

in and it can very easily diffuse

through this one cell layer wall on both

sides goes into the red blood cells so

now the red blood cells can be

oxygenated and you can make hemoglobin

and that’s carried through the entire

body you also have the exchange of co2

that comes the other way so you can

exhale the co2 out and breathe in the o2

so you have this exchange of oxygen but

this virus having affinity for the lung

tissue starts to create damage around

the lining through here and on the

capillaries on the other side there’s

inflammation that develops there’s a

leak of plasma that starts coming into

the lung through here so it starts to

fill up with fluid try to breathe when

you have fluid in your lungs it’s almost

impossible what happens then is this

wall starts to thicken and now we get

less and less exchange of oxygen and co2

going back and forth and this is why

supportive care is so critical these

patients they have to give them oxygen

and they have to try to minimize the

inflammation that’s

going on what’s really missing or

omitted in this condition is two

nutrients one vitamin D and one zinc

this is a pretty well-known fact that

ninety percent of patients with arts has

a very low vitamin D level okay so what

is vitamin D vitamin D is a an immune

modulator it’s not really even up

vitamin it’s a hormone that can greatly

improve your immune system it’s a really

powerful anti-inflammatory so that would

be a no-brainer if I had arts I would be

downing the vitamin D immediately and

then you have zinc zinc is probably one

of the most important nutrients for your

lungs

especially to reduce inflammation if

you’re deficient in zinc infection lasts

longer you’re more susceptible to

infections virus and bacteria you don’t

have the full capacity of your army your

white blood cells put a couple links

down below to show you some very

interesting research on two very

inexpensive nutrients that honestly

should be taken if someone has this

condition if you have not seen my video

on boosting your immune system I put it
