did you realize that there’s a third function of your immune system well that’s we’re going to talk about today the immune system helps you fight pathogens it also helps you kill cancer in tumor cells but it’s also involved in a third function and that would be wound healing now this goes beyond inflammation and there’s a cell that you have called macrophages and a macrophage means big cell that eats and it’s one of the first lines of defense against uh infections to comply so it’s kind of like a guard that waits for some pathogen to invade the body and then it will just go after and heat it up there’s another phagocyte called neutrophils now the neutrophils are really like the main front line of defense and then you have the macrophage that actually will back them up but they both tend to work together now when you have acute inflammation like let’s say a new injury or an infection that would be the neutrophils that jump in there and do their job but when we get into chronic inflammation then we’re talking about the macrophages because even the macrophages will eat up the dead neutrophils and they’re more involved in the chronic type inflammatory condition so any condition that has an itis at the end of it like bursitis tendinitis arthritis iliitis and the list goes on and on and on the macrophage is involved with that so there’s so many different conditions that involve inflammation which basically brings the blood and brings other things to the area for healing so what happens when you have inflammation in various organs whether it’s the liver the kidneys the tendon the muscles the arteries or the colon that inflammation can then turn into scar tissue so you have two different things you have the normal healing cycle then you have something called pathogenic inflammation or pathogenic wound healing and now you have this tissue that’s permanent that doesn’t allow oxygen to go into it and it becomes dysfunctional and the more of that tissue you have the more chronic inflammation you’re going to have and the more free radical damage you’re going to have and then you’re also going to have a lack of function in that area so the macrophage is involved with wound healing whether it’s normal or pathogenic every time you work out at the gym and you damage your muscles the macrophage will come in there and help repair the muscle it brings in certain growth factors for regeneration and the macrophage which is a white blood cell actually will eat up the damaged tissue and it will also bring in growth factors and fibrin which actually forms the scar tissue matrix and it’s stimulated with hypoxia or lack of oxygen so that’s a trigger to recruit these macrophages what is the significance of this how am i going to use this information well the same nutrition that supports the white blood cells for immune protection is the same nutrition that you would use to support wound healing so let me give you an example ulcers the remedy for that would be zinc because zinc will stimulate the macrophages to help heal ulcers okay so that would be one example another example would be vitamin d vitamin d is essential for your immune system to prevent excessive amounts of over reaction or inflammation so if you have some type of condition where you have chronic inflammation whether it’s in the nervous system or the joints or wherever so you’d want to take vitamin d to support that macrophage all right here’s another thing you can do there’s this transition from inflammation to scar tissue and it just so happens that tocotrinols which is a very specific type of vitamin e will slow down that process and really what it’s doing it’s actually helping support the macrophage in slowing down the release of that fibrous scar tissue so it basically stops these immune cells from producing too much excessive amounts of scar tissue now that could be in the lung that can be in your liver that can be in your arteries that can be in the colon that can actually be high levels of iron because you have too much you’re taking too much iron it could be an infection some type of microbe that’s doing it it can be too much calcium in your body in which case you would need vitamin k2 to extract it or it could be too much glucose glucose or sugar actually depletes antioxidants and it destroys the vascular system to different tissues it’s a huge oxidizer that then causes a lot of free radical damage so of course what i’m saying is get on the keto diet if you’re not already on one and then the last thing that really creates a lot of inflammatory condition would be omega-6 fatty acids the soy oil the canola oil the corn oils all the vegetable oils create a lot of oxidation which then creates a lot of damage and what’s happening inside the body is you’re creating these wounds inside the arteries inside the liver inside your tendons and the macrophages come in there and try to heal it but if you don’t get rid of the trigger or provide the right nutrients it develops into this excessive chronic inflammatory scar tissue situation where your body just can’t heal so we have tocotrinols zinc vitamin d are essential but also fasting so fasting is very very powerful to not only slow down inflammation but to help stimulate your macrophages into cleaning up all the damaged proteins that have developed from the scar tissue all right guys thanks for watching and if you haven’t seen my video on the immune system i put a link down below check it out 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
