so and another question from someone that wanted to know how do we tell the difference between a viral and a bacterial infection well it’s really really difficult because the symptoms are so similar unless you get a blood test to rule out a bacterial infection you’re not going to really know but you’re the common symptoms between both of them fever you get a cold you have mucus muscle ache sore throat also realize that most respiratory infections are more viral but they can be bacterial and also you can have a combination between both of them together so it’s very very confusing if it’s viral it could last seven to ten days if it’s bacterial it could last a little bit longer about two weeks also realize that if it’s a viral infection antibiotics will not work one of the problems that I see with a lot of people is that they run to the doctor every time they have a cold or infection they take an antibiotic what’s gonna happen you’re gonna develop antibiotic resistance over time and they’re not going to work eventually because every time you take them you set yourself up for microbes growing stronger resistance against these antibiotics and it also weakens your immune system it decreases the flora in your gut creates secondary infection so try not to do that very often that’s very important now the two things that happen with infections number one is the direct damage the pathogen causes on your body tissue but also the collateral damage that your own body’s immune system creates when it releases certain oxidants to kill off the microbes okay one thing that can protect you against that is putting your body in ketosis when you increase ketones you can decrease the damage from these oxidants that your own immune system is releasing that’s why it’s going into ketosis is very very beneficial when you’re getting sick but because you may not really know if it’s a bacterial or a viral thing here’s some remedies that I recommend first one is olive leaf extract this is really good for putting viruses back in remission but it can also be good for bacteria okay calcium calcium is really good to help the viruses go back and remission because realize that a virus is not really alive in the first place it’s a piece of Menelik material wrapped in a sack that can only invade our tissues if our resistance is low okay if you’re susceptible to getting that virus so now let’s just say you’re in a plane and someone’s coughing you’re gonna have certain people that may get sick certain people that won’t it really depends on your resistance your your sleeping your stress level especially stress your diet your nutrients in your body so as long as you are fortified with nutrition as long as your have a low stress that changes a beginning and are a lot less okay but the point is that calcium helps to put these viruses back in remission I always recommend if you have small children if they have a fever give them a little calcium it seems to work really well also you want to increase your temperature so climb in bed with a lot of covers and clothes on so you can sweat that’s gonna actually help take a hot bath hot shower to increase the temperature which actually can help speed things up garlic very good for bacterial and viral infections put garlic and everything eat the cloves have pickle garlic garlic and onion really good to consume and the last thing the most important thing is the fasting when you are sick you lose your appetite usually right well that’s because your body is telling you don’t eat so fast and can greatly speed up the time it takes to overcome these infections so fast as long as you can don’t do snacking through the day and you can actually really get through this a lot faster thanks for watching so if you want more knowledge on how to create a healthy body subscribe now and get daily notifications daily notifications that sounds weird well I’ll just remind you on a daily basis about that
