so today I’m going to talk about susceptibility to the coronavirus and other viruses in general of course right now in the news they are freaking people out about this virus all sorts of speculating headlines putting people in fear and worry and I just want to give my disclaimer nothing said in this video is meant to treat or cure this virus this is purely based on my opinion and there is some research down below I’m not gonna try to sell you a vitamin or any cure at all that being said let’s dive into this very interesting topic now did you realize that when someone sneezes about 20,000 little droplets containing viruses are projected through the air and that is the mode of transportation for a virus a virus does not have wings it doesn’t have legs it has to be propelled in the air it has to be contacted and put on your body surface and somehow invade the body and certain viruses have targets for certain tissues so if you can vision the virus like a tennis ball with these little spikes and these spikes have affinity for different tissues depending on what virus it is the coronavirus has affinity for the lungs okay so it’s gonna go in the lungs and do its purpose now the Latin word for virus means poison now viruses are everywhere these biological entities are more abundant than any other entity on this planet just one liter of seawater contains over a hundred billion viruses so it really has to do with are you susceptible to the virus now the purpose of a virus is to deliver its DNA or RNA into the host cell your cell to be copied so it can actually continue now DNA and RNA are just genetic material so viruses can’t do anything without the host without you so they’re not really alive they’re not really dead they have the potential of acting like they’re alive and creating a lot of damage so if we take a look at your cell right here okay and the virus and this is definitely not in the right proportion because viruses are very very very tiny certain viruses are like forty four times smaller than bacteria and they go through five stages first one is they attach to your cell wall now realize that your immune system is looking for these guys and they’re trying to kill it so if you’re susceptible to a virus it has a much easier job of attaching and penetrating this wall right here now the interesting thing about viruses is some viruses have this envelope around them that they take from your cell membrane cover themselves they actually steal it and they hide so they go underneath the radar so your immune system cannot find them so they attach it penetrate and then they go into the center part which is the nucleus you see they don’t have any thing that can read this program let’s envision you have this little CD okay this little round disc and you’re trying to listen to music you’re not going to be able to listen to music without some type of CD player right you need something to read it well the virus does not have a reader it uses your reader all it has is the CD or the DNA and it’s definitely not gonna be playing music it just wants to replicate okay like a copy machine so what it does is it penetrates it hits the nucleus it hijacks your copy machine the duplicator and when it does that it starts to reproduce at a very fast rate and this prevents your own body from using that machine so your own body can now not replicate anymore so that’s not good so now we have the replicating stage and then the assemble stage so they’re going to take different things modify their structure so then they can come out of the cell and hide from your own immune system that’s what they’re going to try to do so they’re gonna be released and when they get released the cell usually dies now some viruses actually go dormant okay so that’s called latent so they just pretty much hang out and do nothing and they wait and they wait and they wait into you’re older until you’re weakened until you’re nutritionally deficient until you’re stressed and then they come out and this is why so many people get virus outbreaks during stress dates because these viruses are dormant another interesting thing about certain viruses is they can activate glycolysis this is the release of sugar interesting I’m going to come back to that in a little bit but I do want to mention this one point in a study that I read which I’m going to put a link down below when you decrease glucose metabolism it weakens the influenza virus in laboratory tests now that’s very interesting all right susceptibility okay there are several factors that make you susceptible or vulnerable to viruses in general age now here’s the thing there’s nothing you can do about getting older so you know let’s cross it out right now let’s not talk about that because there’s nothing you can do nutrients nutrient deficiencies there’s a huge connection between nutritional deficiencies and the health of the immune system and the susceptibility for viruses but there’s not a lot of focus on this one area right here and there’s not a lot of research there’s some I put it down below well we’ll talk about this in a second genetics well you can’t do much about you genes you can do a lot about the epigenetics which involves your environment stress nutrition what you eat but you’re given certain genes okay so we’re not going to talk about that all right number four you’re the health of your immune system if your immune system is weak you’re more vulnerable more susceptible to getting the virus and having it create more destruction the microflora in your digestive system also around your body has a huge influence on your immune system so when you take antibiotics or you sterilize the body you greatly increase the chance of getting infections so antibiotics steroids drugs chemotherapy all break down your immune system and make you weak so you can’t fight these things off also if you have a pre-existing chronic disease that makes you susceptible to getting a virus number 6 stress I’ve already talked about this a little bit but stress significantly increases risk of infections and viruses I put some data down below your adrenal glands are really the gland that regulates your stress if we take a look at mice that had their adrenals extracted all sorts of problems with the immune system increasing risk of infections viruses if we also take a look at another condition called Addison’s that’s a condition where your adrenals are basically shut down they’re not working and you need to take adrenal hormones you’ll see a lack of killer T cells in this condition interesting unique killer T cells to defend against viruses also your risk of infections the way up so the adrenals are definitely involved but this is the area I really want to focus on because you can influence this right here and you can also influence these with this so in other words you can strengthen your immune system this and this with this right here now there’s two things that happen when you have certain nutritional deficiencies number one it weakens your immune system so it makes your immune system weaker but nutritional deficiencies also make viruses become stronger now there’s a really interesting study I put it down below that talks about viruses are more virulent in selenium and vitamin E deficient mice which is actually quite interesting because you would think if you starve off this virus with nutrients it would become weaker but no it doesn’t it kicks in a certain gene that makes it stronger very similar to when we do fasting our bodies actually become stronger at least temporarily but because because you can’t fast for for too long so certain viruses can go from avirulent to virulent and virulent means able to infect the host so by taking away their nutrition they become stronger but it makes us weaker that’s not fair now let’s go to the next section that I want
