    There have been some interesting new findings on why people are dying from COVID-19. It’s been thought that COVID-19 is more of a pneumonia type problem or ARDS. But, they have found that it’s actually more of a thrombosis, which is blood clots. This could explain why some people are also getting heart attacks or strokes. 

    The virus is triggering inflammatory cytokines. If a person has a pre-existing condition or a weak immune system, they could get an overreaction of cytokines called a cytokine storm. They also don’t have the enzymes that are supposed to resolve the situation, which causes a massive amount of oxidative stress. At this point, the tissues are being destroyed, and the person is starving for oxygen. 


    Hydroxychloroquine, which is being used in some cases as a treatment for COVID-19, just so happens to be anti-thrombotic. It can help prevent clotting. It’s also anti-inflammatory. A few other things that I think could potentially help this situation are:

     • Antioxidants (vitamin C and vitamin E)

     • Vitamin D 

     • Zinc 

     • A low carb diet

  • Myasthenia Gravis Remission with Vitamin D

    Today we’re going to talk about an interesting case study that was done by a Brazilian doctor working with a patient who had myasthenia gravis.

    Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is where you have what they call autoantibodies that are against your own tissues. This particular autoimmune disease attacks the connection between your nerves and your muscles. This creates a lot of muscle problems.

     One of the treatments commonly used for this condition is steroids. But, unfortunately, there are a lot of side effects when you take steroids. 

    This doctor used between 80,000 and 120,000 IUs of vitamin D3 and was able to put this patient’s symptoms in remission. 

    Vitamin D is hormone-like and acts as a steroid without the side-effects. It also supports the T regulatory cells, which is a part of the immune system that helps prevent autoimmune diseases. 

    There is a huge connection with a lot of autoimmune diseases and vitamin D deficiency. But, one of the concerns people have with taking high doses of vitamin D is a condition called hypercalcemia. This is high calcium in the blood, which could potentially lead to kidney stones. To lessen this risk, the doctor told the patient to omit calcium from the diet. Drinking 3.5-4 liters of fluid a day could also potentially help lessen the risk of kidney stones.

    It’s possible that the COVID-19 mortality rate may be slightly less than what they’ve been telling you. 

    Two recent studies focused on measuring antibodies to the virus. The purpose was to find out the true infection rate. 


    University of Southern California 

     • 863 people were tested

     • 4.1% of the group had antibodies to the virus 


    Stanford University 

     • 3300 people were tested 

     • 2.4 - 4.2% of the group had antibodies to the virus 


    The infection rate was thought to be 7994 when in actuality, it was between 220,000 and 442,000. These are people that already had the infection, recovered, and now have antibodies. 

    In the Stanford study, there were 50-85x more people that were infected in that population than the original numbers. 

    This puts the infection fatality rate at 0.1-0.2%, which is similar to what’s happening with the flu. 

    According to this new information, the coronavirus (COVID-19) is 22-85x less dangerous than what they’ve been telling us.

    Do you need to get more serious about the coronavirus (COVID-19)? There are many definitions of the word serious. But, the definition of serious that we’re focusing on here refers to looming danger or grave danger. Basically, you’re afraid. 

    The problem is that being in a state of fear can greatly affect your immune system. It can increase cortisol and adrenaline, making you more susceptible to disease. 

    It is vital, despite what’s happening in your environment, to try to maintain an attitude of ease (being less serious). There is no benefit of being overly serious about anything or being in a state of fear. 

    The more fear and inaction, the more stress the person is in, and the more cortisol, the weaker the immune system.


    A better option may be to stay in action, stay calm, and get the facts. There is a big difference between fact and opinion:

     • Facts are based on evidence—truth.

     • Opinions may or may not be based on facts.


    Opinions:

     • The virus will kill you

     • Millions will die


    Facts:

     • The people that are dying have a weakened immune system 

     • A person has a 99.8-99.9% chance of not dying with COVID-19 

     • Fear weakens the immune system

    In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what vitamin D can do for the cytokine storm. 

    A cytokine storm is basically what’s really killing the majority of people who die from COVID-19. But, it’s only deadly if the person’s immune system is malfunctioning. 

    There is a really interesting study that compared the two countries with the highest mortality rates from COVID-19 to the countries with the lowest mortality rates from COVID-19. They looked at their vitamin D levels. They found a correlation between the higher mortality rates and low vitamin D. Not only that; they found a strong correlation between vitamin D and cytokine storm. People that had the most vitamin D did not have the cytokine storm. 

    Vitamin D is an immune modulator. It controls the amount of inflammation within the immune system.


    A cytokine is a signaling protein that can:

     • Increase the number of white blood cells

     • Cause inflammation

     • Suppress inflammation

     • Stimulate angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels)


    Just like how your immune system has strategies to fight off pathogens, pathogens have strategies to survive and counter attacks. 

    During a cytokine storm, there is a hyperinflammatory reaction going on that creates a lot of damage in the body. 

    Vitamin D may be able to help suppress cytokines. But, if your immune system is already healthy, you don’t really have to worry about anything.

    Today we’re going to talk about COVID-19, temperature, and humidity. Could COVID-19 get better in the summer?


    Studies on COVID-19 and temperature:

    Study: High temperature and high humidity could significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19. For every increase in 1 degree Celsius and increase in 1% humidity, there’s a decrease by R (the infection rate) by .0383 and .0224.

    Study: There are greater infections in the northern hemisphere versus the lower hemisphere. This may have to do with distance from the sun and how much vitamin D people are able to get. 

    Study: Showed an inverse relationship between humidity, temperature, and COVID-19 infections. 

    Certain viruses are seasonal and peak in the winter because they’re more stable in cold temperatures. During the winter months, people also tend to have higher levels of cortisol, which weakens the immune system. 

    During the winter months, you’re also going to get less vitamin D, which can weaken the immune system. There are even more benefits of sunlight that go beyond vitamin D and temperature, that you’re missing out on in the winter months. 

    If there are viruses that are peaking in the winter months, it’s important to keep your immune system strong during this time. You can also take vitamin D and do whatever you can to help counter the increase in cortisol. Sleep and long walks could help as well.

    In this podcast, I want to talk to you about the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, your thyroid, and your hair. Some people who go on an intermittent fasting and keto plan notice hair loss. Some people also feel cold and have an enlarged thyroid. There is a way to do keto correctly, so you don’t have hair loss and a thyroid problem. 

    Vitamin A activates thyroid receptors. The pituitary sends a hormone down to the thyroid that controls it. The hormone is called thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH. It changes the size of the thyroid and the production of hormones, like T4. Low levels of vitamin A can inhibit the thyroid receptors of TSH. In turn, your pituitary produces more and more TSH to try to force the thyroid to work. 


    When this situation happens, it can cause the thyroid to enlarge. In turn, this can make you cold and contribute to hair loss. 


    Vitamin A comes from:

    • Liver

    • Eggs

    • Butter

    • Fish oil

    • Greens


    If you don’t consume enough of these foods, you could be low in vitamin A. 


    The other causes of low vitamin A could be:

    • Fatty or inflamed liver

    • Low gallbladder bile or no gallbladder

    • Gastric bypass

    • SIBO


    Low levels of zinc is another very common problem that causes thyroid issues. This is often caused by avoiding all animal products, like with a vegetarian or vegan diet. Shellfish and red meat are excellent sources of zinc.

    In this podcast, I want to give you a quick way to know if you have brain damage. The truth is, everyone acquires some degree of damage in their brain as they age. This has to do with a lack of fuel in your neurons. 

    In one study, it was shown that the average person loses about 30% of their brain cells as they reach old age. This happens very gradually over time. The early signs of dementia can come on slowly—you might start forgetting where you put your keys or forget someone’s name. 


    When your neurons are starving of fuel, you will notice:

    • Loss of memory

    • Lack of clarity

    • Loss of focus and poor attention span


    This all comes from consuming a high carbohydrate diet. Over time, carbs cause insulin resistance, and glucose cannot supply the brain cells with energy. 

    Neurons actually prefer a different type of fuel: ketones. If given a choice between glucose and ketones, your neurons will choose ketones every time. 


    There are two simple experiments you can do to find out if you have brain damage:

    1. Go on a healthy ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting plan, which promotes the creation of ketones. 

    2. Use MCT oil - this instantly creates ketones. 


    After 1-2 weeks, take note of your cognitive improvements. If there are significant improvements, this could be a sign of damage due to low nutrients in your brain. In this case, it’s important to stay on a keto and intermittent fasting plan. It may even help reverse damage done to the brain.

    Today we’re going to talk about antibodies and how you can create your own immunity through your own antibodies. 

    You have this amazing and powerful internal defense mechanism, or immunity, that helps neutralize enemies.


    There are two parts of the immune system:

    The innate—

    You are born with this. It doesn’t need any training. It has a general defense mechanism for day to day activity. When things get too intense, they signal the acquired immune system to get help. 

    The acquired or adaptive—

    This is the back-up force. The acquired has very specific actions to help protect you. This part of the immune system is acquired or adapted over time. It learns from experience. If it’s not first exposed to a virus, it won’t learn anything. 


    Hypothetically, vaccines are supposed to create artificial immunity. But, your own body can even create immunity to pathogens. It all occurs mainly from the B cells, which are a part of the acquired immune system. B cells have receptors that can reach out and grab pathogens. These are called antibodies. Antibodies neutralize the enemy (a pathogen). 

    A virus becomes dangerous when it gets inside of the cell. If you recover from a virus, the next time you’re exposed to this virus, you’ll be immune to it. This is because you now have antibodies waiting to neutralize the virus. 

    High levels of cortisol can decrease your antibodies. Low levels of zinc or vitamin D can also cause you not to have the full capacity of your antibodies. 

    Certain viruses can also create white blood cell amnesia, which causes the antibodies not to remember what to attack.

    You have an incredible machine in your body, and if you take care of it, it can help you.

    Today we’re going to talk about the cheapest potential COVID-19 therapy in the world. What we’re talking about is the sun, and what it can do to give you vitamin D. Of course, this is actually free, all you have to do is go out and get 20 minutes of sun. 

    Somalian immigrants make up a very small community in Stockholm, Sweden. They make up less than 1% of the entire population of Stockholm. Yet, in Stockholm, 40% of all of the COVID-19 deaths were from this small group. 


    What puts people at risk for COVID-19?: 

    • Pre-existing health problems (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, COPD, asthma)

    This group didn’t have many of these problems, and they weren’t all over the age of 60. But, what they do have is darker skin. The melanin that changes the color of the skin—protects against UV. But, it also prevents the absorption of vitamin D. In Chicago, 72% of deaths due to the coronavirus were African American. 

    The Somalian group also has a dress code that requires them to be almost fully covered, which can prevent vitamin D absorption. 

    It has also been found that the great majority of COVID-19 deaths were in the Northern hemisphere. This could be related to the distance between where you are and the sun, and how much vitamin D you’re going to get.
