alright guys so today I’m going to talk about something probably on your mind the Black Plague there’s some other names for the Black Plague you have Black Death the great plague or bubonic plague they’re all the same thing there’s some real interesting new findings that relate to nutrition that I want to bring up now the black plague or Black Death was the second pandemic event that occurred in the year thirteen forty through the 1400s now if you look in the history books this event was caused by a bacteria infecting fleas which then was spread by rats okay throughout Europe and even Asia however recently there was 25 skeletons which were victims four of the black plague in a London cemetery here’s what they found the bones of all 25 victims showed signs of rickets what is rickets that is a severe vitamin D deficiency now what’s the relationship between vitamin D and the black plague or an infection well vitamin D is not really a vitamin it’s a hormone it’s one of the most powerful immune modulators it regulates the immune system and if you’re deficient it’s going to make you highly susceptible to infections bacterial infections viral infections systemic infections septicemia and autoimmune diseases in fact you will nearly always find a vitamin D deficiency in someone with an autoimmune condition alright so number one they found a vitamin D deficiency also the bone showed other signs of malnutrition and signs of injuries now what’s interesting about this is it relates to another video I did about this Spanish flu which occurred in 1918 and if you haven’t seen that video I put a link down below and the reason why that’s significant is there were 50 million people who died in the Spanish flu and there was about 50 million people that died in this black plague okay because it was a pandemic event and my question is how could just a virus spread through the entire world and just kill that many people it just doesn’t make sense what came just before the event what came right before the Spanish flu and what came before the Black Plague so with the Spanish flu you had this world war one which occurred just before the event which you had huge shifts in the transport of food you have the canning of food which led to nutritional deficiencies when you can food you decrease the zinc by 85% and with the Spanish flu it peaked in January which is the time of year where you have the lowest amount of vitamin D exposure from the Sun of the entire year which is interesting so what happened with the Spanish flu is we have this malnutrition vitamin D deficiency a war situation and then you get this infection well with the black plague signs of injury well that sounds like a war to me now why would they have low vitamin D and malnutrition now there’s some other interesting points in 1315 there was an eruption of a volcano okay Mount Tarawera and the ashes from this event may have fected the temperature around the globe you can look this up and precipitated the Great Famine of 1315 just 13 17 other references say it’s 1315 to 13 22 but there was a famine interesting so now we have malnutrition and if you’re having ashes that could potentially affect the temperature you’re gonna have low vitamin D levels because it’s going to act as a barrier most of Europe was affected this famine apparently was caused by bad weather probably from this event and then you had crop failure so you have all these things that are just stacking up to set people up for a very low immune system now what’s interesting is that some people think that the bubonic plague was way in the past it doesn’t happen right now it does happen very rarely but it still could happen in fact seven people in the US every single year get the bubonic plague now one more interesting point about this that may relate to this or the topic we’re talking about but the California brown shrimp were fed a diet without vitamin C and within six weeks they develop black lesions now with the black death or black plague or bubonic plague what happens you’re getting necrosis of the tissue very similar to gangrene and the tissue is turning black that’s why they call it the black plague well apparently when you start shrimping and see they develop black lesions and they call it the Black Death disease and the bacterial counts go way up and they get septicemia which is a severe infection now the reason why I wanted to bring up this whole point is to show you the relationship between severe infections and vitamin deficiencies especially vitamin D especially during the winter months to protect yourself against viruses you really want to make sure you get enough vitamin D now it’s very difficult to get it from food if not impossible and it’s equally difficult to get it during the winter months so you’re going to have to take it in a supplement form and lastly just to summarize the main point the Black Plague and the Spanish flu are perfect examples of how a nutritional deficiency could potentially set you up for a serious infection all right thanks for watching if you’re liking this content please subscribe now and I will actually keep you updated on
