so I’d like to tell you what I’ve

learned from the Spanish flu pandemic in

1918 a very interesting story not sure

if you know about this but back in 1918

fifty to a hundred million people died

worldwide of this Spanish flu

now that’s very very strange that that

many people would died worldwide just

out of the blue and there’s several very

interesting things about this okay

number one they didn’t really die of the

virus itself okay the virus was involved

but it wasn’t the thing that killed them

fairly recently they did autopsies on

some bodies that they dug up from this

time period and they found something

very interesting they found that the

majority of deaths occurred because of

these two things right here ARDS which

is acute respiratory distress syndrome

which is a situation where the lung is

filling up with fluid so the alveoli in

the lung which exchanged the oxygen and

the co2 basically just filled up with

fluid and the fluid got outside the lung

and the person basically drownded within

their own fluid there was also a lot of

mucus in there so the mucus kind of got

stuck in the lung on top of that there

was a super infection involving bacteria

okay so the combination of bacteria with

this fluid created the deaths now there

are some other things that were very

very strange as well because a good

portion of these deaths involved people

in their 20s

normally the flu affects young children

and elderly people not in this situation

so I’m going to come back to that in a

minute but first I want to tell you what

occurred about four years previous to

this event

okay well 1918 you got 1914 you had

World War one okay that was worldwide

what are some of the changes that

occurred well we had a huge shift in

diet because we had to transport food

great distances and you have to preserve

the food so they did a lot of canning

okay and by the way when you canned food

you really do

increase the zinc in food now zinc

important in the immune system just

slightly so we have the transportation

of food change and the food change not

only occurred with the military but it

occurred with people at home as well

because they did food rationing no

longer did you have the variety of food

the fresh vegetables you had several

foods a good amount of it was preserved

okay so what does this mean

it basically means we created a lot of

nutritional deficiencies if you create

these nutritional deficiencies over a

period of four years you’re really going

to increase the susceptibility to get

any infection now the next question that

I wanted to know is what month did the

Spanish flu a curb take a while guess if

you guess January you are correct now

what is unique about the month January

January is at the peak of vitamin D

deficiencies and when you have a low

vitamin D your immune system just does

not work that well in fact vitamin D

innervates every single white blood cell

and without enough vitamin D the risk

factor of getting lung problems like

ARDS or pneumonia go way up also asthma

as well so vitamin D helps your lungs it

acts as cortisol it’s an

anti-inflammatory helps your immune

system and when you’re low in vitamin D

you’re at risk of all sorts of things

I’m going to show you an interesting

chart and I’ll put a link down below

this is basically a chart of the seasons

of the year and what type of illnesses

people get if you look at the winter

months you have a huge increase in risk

of getting upper respiratory tract

infections increase relapses of MS which

is an autoimmune disease and other

autoimmune diseases okay because vitamin

D is involved with that also increase

risk of getting F seen bar virus coming

out of remission Rhino virus which is

all the sign of stuff type 1 diabetes

risk factors go up as well as an

increased risk of getting bacterial

infections but not only that children

that are born in the winter months have

higher risks of

a mess down the road and ulcerative

colitis and there’s an increased risk of

mothers getting gestational diabetes

fascinating so vitamin D is really

really important in your immune system

so as you can see there’s this perfect

storm we have a virus involved we have

nutritional deficiencies that are

setting the person up for these

infections we have low vitamin D but why

did so many people die in their 20s okay

well this is why during that period of

time bear as in Bayer Aspirin ran out of

their patents okay so you had a lot of

other companies coming in to sell and

make aspirin now at that time they

didn’t really know and the deadly toxic

effects of high levels of aspirin they

were giving people 1300 milligrams every

single hour for 12 hours okay

and one of the side effects of doing

that is pulmonary edema which is going

to fill up the lungs with fluid and

another side effect is to increase the

bacteria loans now the combination of

the aspirin and the vitamin D deficiency

and other nutritional deficiencies

altogether was responsible for those

deaths so what have I learned from this

I’ve learned the importance the vital

importance of nutrients and preventing

health problems you see when someone has

a health problem very rarely do they

look at the nutritional deficiency

condition that set them up for getting

sick but it is one of the most important

factors in bulletproofing your immune

system but the problem is here you have

people that eat junk food and they’re

exposed to pollution and toxins in the

environment but you really can’t see a

deficiency of something it’s kind of a

no problem of omission it doesn’t draw

your attention because it’s subtle you

don’t have to have a major vitamin

deficiency it could be subclinical the

only way you’re going to know is if

someone tells you number one the

importance in this link of nutritional

deficiencies and bulletproofing your

immune system and also in addition to

that the key foods that you

to be focusing on to make sure that

you’re not deficient in the first place

and for that I put some links down below
