vitamin d is the absolute most important vitamin  for asthma now the symptoms of asthma wheezing  

shortness of breath chest tightness cough and  someone that’s an asthmatic is always vitamin  

d deficient and it’s the vitamin d deficiency  that causes changes in the thickness where the  

gas exchange occurs in your lung also changes  in the mass volume of the lung itself in the  

composition itself and the smooth muscle and  so there’s a lot of structural things that are  

being altered when you have asthma mainly due to  inflammation now the surface area of the lungs if  

you if you take the lungs and spread it out would  be the size of a tennis court extremely large and  

the length of all the airways if you were to  stretch them out it would be about 1500 miles  

so there’s an incredible amount of  surface area and the primary function  

of the lung is gas exchange you’re breathing in  oxygen and you’re breathing out co2 and at the  

lining of your lung tissue where it’s exposed  to air you have some serious immune protection  

and it’s very very uh complex because  your your immune system has to identify  

a non-threatening airborne particle that doesn’t  need to stir up the immune system versus an actual  

deadly virus or a pathogen and that’s to identify  which is which and deal with it appropriately  

and so with asthma there’s two areas in the immune  system where things are not working that well  

one is with the t helper cell and then the next  thing is with the t regulatory cell both of these  

immune cells are involved in the coordination of  immune reactions and regulating inflammation to  

make sure there’s not too much inflammation and so  when there’s a dysfunction of both of these cells  

you get inflammation and that’s what’s really  causing the change in thickness the volume the  

composition and the smooth muscles and so  now not only do we not get the gas exchange  

but we also get a hypersensitivity to various  triggers so we get this over reaction in the  

immune system and so inflammation is easily  triggered now the other point i want to make about  

asthma is that one of the most popular  treatment is a bronchocorticosteroid inhaler  

and that is basically this mist that you put in  your lungs it’s cortisol and it’s a vasodilator  

so with asthma we have a problem with the immune  system we obviously have the problem with the lung  

and we have the problem with the hormone cortisol  so the good news is vitamin d can start to turn  

around and remodel in a positive way your lungs  it can slow down and stop inflammation and stop  

the fibrosis that’s going on which is the scar  tissue and vitamin d also helps reset or normalize  

the cortisol receptor allowing cortisol to work  better in your lungs and not only that but vitamin  

d is really a hormone and it acts very similar to  cortisol it’s a very powerful anti-inflammatory  

and so if you have asthma and you’re not taking  vitamin d you’re missing out big time i’m going  

to recommend at least 20,000 IUs vitamin d3 every  single day and you should notice great changes in  

your ability to breathe and reduce these symptoms  right here before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the US hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
