Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the most important nutrients for your immune system. Iâll see you in the next video.
I want to share something very important with you relating to your immune system to get through the winter and avoid getting sick and even if you did get sick to have very good outcomes there are seven really vital nutrients that I think are more important in other nutrients and I'm going to try to explain this in a really simple way so you really get it and also how to get these nutrients from the food that you eat some of these nutrients I'm going to talk about are very deficient in a very large percent of the population so that includes you you need to a little more information on like what this nutrient does and where to get it let's start with the nutrient number one vitamin A it's one of the more important vitamins for your immune system especially for lung infections vitamin A helps you make antibodies now what's an antibody it's something that helps tag a bad guy in your body like a pathogen and it helps the other parts of your immune system know who's the bad guy versus the good guy so we don't want to attack the wrong cell right so the antibody is all about tagging someone so it would be like a bounty hunter that's going out to find some criminal they may not do the punishment right put them in jail but they help find the criminal that's what your antibodies do I mean think about what a job that is you have so many cells the body is huge and these antibodies are going around scanning looking for these pathogens and somehow they can identify them and then they can tag them and then they then communicate to the rest immune system to kill okay so that's what your immune system does and without enough vitamin A your ability to produce antibodies and tag pathogens are greatly reduced so now your body has a lessened ability to recognize the bad guys and there's something else vitamin A helps your immune system coordinate this attack because it increases this very specific T Cell called the T helper cell that's all about coordination I guess it'd be equivalent to like a symphony orchestrator which is out there coordinating the various musicians and their instruments if you didn't have that person it would all be chaos so the T helper cell does a lot of coordination in this attack so without vitamin A you can't tag the bad guy and then you can't coordinate this attack with your army now where do you get vitamin A a good source would be grass-fed butter you can also get it from other things too like egg yolks liver but I would not count on getting your vitamin A from plant Foods because that mainly is going to be beta-carotene that has to convert into the active form of vitamin A which is retinol and for most people it's not going to happen so more butter through the winter more butter to support your immune system all right the next vitamin which you may not connect the dots between this nutrient and your immune system is vitamin E now vitamin E is a very potent antioxidant that protects the lipid membranes okay so all your cells have a little fat layer it's a membrane and it's made from lipids and vitamin E protects that membrane from being damaged by your immune system and many other things I mean think about what's happening you have this immune system which is your army that's going to fight these pathogens right so they're going to use weapons one weapon they use is hydrogen peroxide if you ever put hydrogen peroxide on an open wound you see it all fizzing and it starts to oxidize and it starts to create this reaction well think about what that will do to a pathogen it literally kills pathogens right well all this is happening inside your body so you're getting exposure to hydrogen peroxide and many other weapons from your own immune system so vitamin E is there to protect against all this collateral damage and if you didn't have enough vitamin E well you'd have a lot of damage that's occurring from your immune system that is unnecessary this is also another problem with people taking like chemotherapy or radiation therapy yes it kills the cancer but it also kills off the immune system right if you have to take chemo or radiation therapy for cancer I would highly recommend also at the same time doing things like vitamin E taking other nutrients to protect you against all this collateral damage and just as a side note one thing you can do to protect yourselves against the damage from chemotherapy and radiation therapy is fasting prolonged fasting your cells will automatically become stronger and live longer if you're fasting and at the same time you have to do the chemo and radiation therapy so vitamin E protects against the collateral damage okay that's one thing it does also without enough vitamin E the ability of your T cells and other things called the phagocytes that actually eat up pathogens just are less strong so that's about a minivus and guess where you can get vitamin E from butter okay you can also get it from leafy greens you can all also get it from nuts in egg yolks because it's a fat soluble vitamin the next most important vitamin which is probably the most important vitamin is vitamin D I've done lots of videos on vitamin D on the importance of what it can do to your immune system I mean just across the board it influences every single part of your immune system but one of the most important things that vitamin D will do is it helps to curb or calm down an overactive immune system so if your immune system is a little too enthusiastic okay and it's like going in hyper mode and you have too much inflammation vitamin D can come in there and chill it out so any condition that you have that involves too much inflammation especially chronic inflammation like chronic arthritis autoimmune or even the cytokine storm involved in like an infection vitamin D can come in there and just turn that thing right off it can also lessen the duration of infection one of the most amazing things it does is it just puts out the fire okay but you need a lot of it you need um not just 600 IUS you need about 10 20 30 000 IUS if you're going through an infection and guess where you can get vitamin D you can get it from butter you can get it from cod liver oil you can get it from the Sun but not during the winter so many people just take it as a supplement but it's a very important nutrient and you should know more about that because most people are deficient in vitamin D the next most important vitamin is Vitamin C you can get a lot of it from raw sauerkraut not pasteurized sauerkraut but raw okay you get like 700 milligrams that's 10 times what you really need in one cup of raw sauerkraut incredible but vitamin C is one of those vitamins that helps to increase your resistance and lowers your susceptibility to getting a pathogen but because it's an antioxidant it also can lower the collateral damage just like vitamin E will do but vitamin E protects the fat layered membranes vitamin C helps other things in your body from getting damaged so if there's a lot of oxidation free radical damage inflammation vitamin C protects the tissues against all this collateral damage from your own immune system and a lot of times when you feel sick or you feel lethargic or you feel tired or you have a fever or you have any negative reaction when you get sick it's this collateral damage that's causing it so vitamin C can help clean that up and make you feel better as you're going through the infection the same thing with vitamin E but the other thing that vitamin C will do is it increase increases neutrophils neutrophils really due to three things okay they eat pathogens for lunch right they eat viruses bacteria parasites yeast fungus mold that's one thing they also will release Weaponry like microbial agents that kill microbes so it's kind of like they have this shotgun that they can use against microbes and the third thing that they do it's pretty cool they actually throw a net over the pathogens and contain the pathogen so they can then inject certain chemicals to dissolve and kill the pathogen they're like a little spider that can throw the net over the pathogen so those are the three ways that neutrophils work and they are dependent on vitamin C and again you can get vitamin C from sauerkraut but you can get it from all the leafy greens even you can get some vitamin C from grass-fed grass finish beef believe it or not as well as grass-fed grass-finished liver the next most important nutrient that you need to know about is zinc you probably already know that but zinc is involved in several hundred enzymes okay without zinc a lot of things can't work in your body but one of the most important interesting things that zinc will do to your immune system is to allow the thymus to do its job the thymus makes T cells it's like a training camp for your immune system and it's dependent on zinc without zinc the thymus actually shrinks way down it can't work right zinc allows the training of your immune system so without enough zinc your T cells get suppressed so they can't go to battle they can't fight the weapons that they are supposed to have are limited and the ammo that is released is suppressed so you're basically cutting down your army without having enough zinc and there's a lot of people that don't have enough zinc primarily because you're eating a lot of refined grains with phytates that are blocking the zinc a lot of cereals breads pasta cereal crackers things like that whole grains okay and you can get zinc from shellfish okay oysters you can also get zinc from other things like eggs red meat as loaded with zinc there was an interesting study on mice okay where they had one group that was deprived of zinc and the other group was fed enough zinc and both groups were exposed to a deadly parasite and in the group that was Zinc deficient there was an 80 percent mortality rate 80 percent of these mice died the zinc deficient group and in the other group only 10 percent of the mice died and this was the group that had enough zinc it tells us that zinc is very important in surviving infections okay number one and having an immune system to protect us against these pathogens no matter if it's virus parasite bacteria the next nutrient I want to talk about is selenium selenium is a trace mineral to help you make glutathione which is another antioxidant which protects the body from free radical damage oxidation it protects the lipids as well it also protects against inflammation okay all that collateral damage and if you're deficient in selenium your immune system is no longer as potent as it should be it has a more difficult time fighting pathogens and it also has a difficult time protecting the your normal tissues from all the collateral damage there is a another study on mice that had a group that was deficient in selenium and compare that to a group that had enough selenium and they were both exposed to a parasite not the same parasite but a different parasite and in the group that was selenium deficient okay they all suffered multiple organ failure okay as compared to the group that had sufficient selenium so that would be just another example even though the studies weren't done on humans I think it's something to look at it's something they appreciate and the problem with doing human studies is that who's going to volunteer for this study not me so where can you get selenium seafood and Brazil nuts and the last nutrient I want to comment on is copper copper works with zinc I haven't talked a lot about copper but copper is very important for your immune system as well if you don't have enough copper you're more susceptible to getting infections okay copper also works with selenium in making certain enzymes to protect against collateral damage because it can act as an antioxidant but it's also directly involved in immune system function and specifically in recruiting help with other parts of the immune system so if you don't have enough copper your cells won't be coordinated enough to recruit for help to have the full capacity of your immune system at the barrier that you're defending from and copper can be gotten from shellfish seafood and beef Meats it's an eggs it's in a lot of different foods now I've recently did a very interesting video on What vitamin D does to your immune system it's a little bit more in depth and you really need to watch that because once you watch that you'll have the complete knowledge of vitamin D in its relationship to bulletproofing yourself against pathogens and I put that video up right here check it out

Discovering Dr. Bergâs videos truly transformed my life. For the past three years, Iâve been learning from his content, taking the right supplements, and seeing remarkable improvements in my healthâbetter than Iâve felt in over a decade. I used to live with chronic pain and was dependent on multiple medications, thinking there were no alternatives. A friend introduced me to Dr. Berg, and everything began to change. I also lost over 60 pounds through Keto and Intermittent Fastingâit took six months, and the results came surprisingly fast. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your knowledge, compassion, and dedication. God bless!

Will strengthening my immune system with MS cause my "Angry" B cells to become stronger as well and multiply? Thank you in advance.
I get my vitamin A from cod liver oil and butter.
âWhose going to volunteer for these studies? Not me!â Ahahhaa we dont blame you
For me I found that young green barley of high quality works great for my immune system and staying healthy. Hope it helps someone đ
don't go out and take a bunch of copper. it can make you really sick. take it easy.
There is TH1 and TH2. What can I do, if TH1 is too high and TH2 is too low? I had three misscarriages. đ
The optimal manner to strengthen the immune system will be by taking castor oil internally in a regular manner. Empty and cleanse not only your bowels and your body, but your mind and your spirit too ! You should know upon the following connections, well known in Asia, especially in India and the surrounding countries, and in Africa in the countries southerly of the Sahara too. By swallowing 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) castor oil regularly early in the morning on an empty stomach you will remark the following benefits, this one recorded in an increasing importance:
1) Cleansing the bowels from all the waste deposed there.
2) Cleansing the human body via the liver from the toxins deposed there.
3) Cleansing not only the mind but further the spirit.
Concerning point (2) you should further know upon the following assignments of the Chinese medicine:
a) skin –> bowels
b) eyes –> liver
Thank You Dr. BERG
Too much grains check iyt the school lunches .
Excellent
đź Why no pictures ?
i get cough and need to find dr berg to the rescue, thx doc for this videoâ€
Steak and eggs with Brazilian nuts
I eat cod liver which is full of vit A, and D.
best video I seen on the topic of being sick today – thank you very much.
Lol, âTaking Vitamin Dâ basically means taking 6 supplementsâŠIâve heard him talk about the importance of the co-factors of K2, magnesium, B6, and zinc (AND zinc if taken properly requires the co-factor of copper).
poor animals- hopefully enough tests done
Thank you đ
But PLEASE do not drink hydrogen peroxide!!! It can kill you!!! Esp the âfood gradeâ or cleaning kinds !! (Coming from er provider)
Good sound information. But isn't it time to STOP testing on these defenseless little creatures? Really.
It doesnât do anything. I have kept up with all the vital vitamins and i still ended up with the flu. Amd i canât sleep for so many nights.chills and fever on an off all night and day. I am so disappointed that no vitamins help
Would Vitamin D help with inflamed Skin like redness in the Face and a little acne
"This was such a great video! Iâve been on Planet Ayurvedaâs Immune Booster Capsules for a couple of months, and theyâve really helped me stay on top of my health. Itâs the perfect addition to anyoneâs wellness routine!"
