Building a Kick-Ass Immune System


We have surely entered an interesting time...


First-- a sudden rush of panic. A massive push to wash hands. Cover your projectable excretions. Self-quarantine if experiencing any symptoms...

Similar to advice given during normal flu

Then schools started closing.

Then it was suggested that anyone that 'could' work from home.. should.

More and more news reports coming in from around the globe (or more like.. a handful of places) of overwhelmed hospitals and absolute carnage.. everywhere.

The chaos escalates, uncertainty accumulates, and the FEAR settles in amongst the general public.

If I would have told you 6 months ago-- the entire globe is going to completely shut down due to speculations of a deadly pandemic.. you would have called me a lunatic. 

And here we are. 

We've bought into the fear. The propaganda. The assumptions and fallacies. 

We are a part of a unique.. experiment. 

This has never been done before. And it was pulled off with a particular ease.


Now.. I would love to get into more of that spicy stuff..

But-- Let's just focus on the CONTROLLABLE for now.
Yes, that means what YOU can be doing right now.







The BEST immune system is created in the BODY, not the lab.  
-Dr. C.S Gonstead. 
“Your immune system is a muscle.” – Dr. Jockers

                         And like any muscle... it needs the chance to recover, grow and develop!!


"Your immune system works as a well-organized team to protect you from infections. When it detects potentially dangerous bacteria or viruses, such as the Coronavirus (COVID-19), your immune system unleashes a powerful army to destroy what could potentially harm your body.(1) 

At least that’s how things should work.

 Numerous things can impede your immune system, inhibiting its ability to fight the coronavirus and other threats. A weak immune system can’t effectively fight bacteria, viruses, and toxins.(2) 

As a result, you become increasingly susceptible to infections."

Staying healthy will CREATE a robust immune system

A robust immune system will convey good overall health
-->Not just a defense against all the 'germs' floating around



It is assumed that the typical adult spends up to 2 years over a lifetime with cold symptoms [28]
 The costs of illness associated with noninfluenza infections are estimated at 40 billion USD, including direct and indirect costs. With the additional costs of illness caused by influenza, upper respiratory tract infections present a serious burden to humanity and to the economy [3, 4].






Staying Healthy

It's NOT about avoiding 'germs'... 

 It's about building RESILIENCY so that your body and it's amazing systems can ADAPT and handle various stressors and 'invadors' that come along.  

 It's meant to. 

 You just need to give it the chance to. 

The Basics

The funny thing about staying/getting healthy is... 

---> Whether you're looking to decrease body fat % , race a triathlon, get in shape to play with your grandkids.. or even prevent cancer/heart disease/diabetes/neurological conditions/etc... There are a TON of overlapping concepts and principles that will inevitably help you on all fronts.  Especially when it comes to developing a strong immune system.

Year, after year... after year.  Who is it that's at the highest risk of serious complications when it comes to having the flu? Or .. whatever virus happens to be circling the planet at any particular moment? 
--> Immunocomprimised, elderly, those dealing with multiple conditions.

What types of lifestyle choices are ALWAYS mentioned when it comes to putting people at higher risk?

Fear, mixed with imagination.. is a very dangerous cocktail. 
-Fran Drescher 
  The 'GERM'... 
      is NOT 
          THE
            CAUSE... 

First of all-- You are DESIGNED and equipped to handle 'invaders' or pathogens.  Every. Single. Day.   Everywhere you go. Every breath of air. Every single thing you touch. Taste. EVERYTHING has 'GERMS'.   If these 'germs' were to blame for Luckily--You have many lines of defense that keep you healthy.  
The 'infect'ion. 

A viral particle (not living-- DNA or RNA strand that is encased in a polysaccharide case)
->Will bind to a particular receptor site on a cell. 

Ex. SARS-2

S-protein (spike protein) on the viral partical will bind to the ACE-2 receptor (mostly found in lung tissue). 
--This complex has to be activated by 'Furin' (Enzyme) .  Activates various proteins in the body. 
---3-CL protease will aid the viral replication process once the viral genetic material is inside the cell
---- NLRP3 (pro-inflammatory protein) -- potentially protective response, but gets misguided and does not prevent the continuation of the inflammatory response. 


ACE-2 ===produces vasodilators 
The virus destroys these receptors, and allows for the ACE-1 functions to run rampant

{{Meaning.. the 'germs' that live on and within us}}

You are an ECOSYSTEM.

"There's a community of 38,000,000,000,000 microorganisms (mostly bacteria) living in and on us. Seededby our mothers, this is our microbiome—our non-human half we can’t live without. In an astonishing journey of symbiosis, microbes co-evolved with us, carrying in their genes, and therefore in us, the entire history of the world"    -seed.com

A dynamic balance of living cells, tissues, organs that function in unison... WITH the microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, AND viruses) that also call our bodies HOME.

Without them.. we would die.
With a HEALTHY, natural balance.. we THRIVE.
Taking care of YOUR ecosystem will benefit your:
Immune system, gut, skin, ability to break down and synthesize various metabolites|vitamins|nutrients|neurotransmitters, regulate inflammation, etc.

It wasn't long ago we viewed all 'GERMS' as the bad guys.. and we did (do) everything to wipe them out.

Oh wait-- we (well.. some) still do.

BUT.. there is a exponentially expanding field of research and health practices to create healthy biome to improve overall health. It's something that's been recognized for years
Your everyday choices either nourish this system...
Or break it down.
The Foods you Eat & The cleaners you use are the easiest things to control. And although there are endless, toxic products out there.. There's now plenty of great resources to utilize.

What about Fevers? 

 <<They're NOT a mistake!!>>  
This is your body's natural, adaptive response.. and a pathogen (unwanted invader) 
  • For 600 million years warm and cold blooded animals have utilized fevers (how they were able to determine this.. is beyond me!) 
  • A vast, dynamic orchestrated response that requires proper signaling between the immune system and nervous system. 
  •  Requires LOTS of energy and resources:
    • 1 deg C raise in temp==10-12.5% inc in metabolic rate!! 
  • For example, temperatures in the febrile range (40–41°C) cause a greater than 200-fold reduction in the replication rate of poliovirus in mammalian cells and increase the susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to serum-induced lysis.24,25


Use of antipyretics:  (NSAIDs) 
  • "There is mounting evidence that the increase of 1 to 4°C in core body temperature that occurs during fever is associated with improved survival and resolution of many infections. For example, the use of antipyretic drugs to diminish fever correlates with a 5% increase in mortality in human populations infected with influenza virus and negatively affects patient outcomes in the intensive care unit.3–5"
  • Some studies have shown that in cases where inflammation inflammatory 

The latest: 
Literature review from 2019:
"Conclusion: the evidence does not currently support routine antipyretic administration."

Nutrition 



 No better time to get healthy than... NOW! 

YES. What we consume everyday affects EVERY system of our body... including our Immune system!! 
The best part is... the same things you would do to create a robust, resilient immune system--- are the same, or very similar to, the things you would do to prevent (and even reverse!) heart disease, diabetes, neurological conditions, cancer, autoimmune conditions, gut issues, chronic fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, sleep problems, etc etc.  Now.. there are stipulations to each of these-- but regardless of what condition we're talking about, what you fuel your body with day in, and day out will ultimately affect your overall expression of health. 

 You can have a positive effect.. or negative.  The choice is yours! 

 The truth is.. we've create the perfect storm in terms of creating the perfect environment in which disease can initiate.. and thrive.  A pleathora of toxic-processed junk foods, an absurd amount of sugar/carbs, low quality animal products, and chemicals that are used in the food production process ALL have an effect on our physiology.  All of which lead to dysfunction to some degree.  After enough time.. dysfunction leads to an inability for your body to adapt-- and 'symptoms' surface. 

Fast food fever: reviewing the impacts of the Western diet on immunity

"The Western diet is characterized by a high intake of saturated and omega-6 fatty acids, reduced omega-3 fat intake, an overuse of salt, and too much refined sugar [1]. Most are aware that this type of eating, if not in moderation, can damage the heart, kidneys, and waistlines; however, it is becoming increasingly clear that the modern diet also damages the immune system."

 --> Which, the immune system is further stressed by .. stress. Lack of sleep. Pollution and toxins. Lack of sunlight. Lack of movement. Etc. 

Obese individuals have fewer white blood cells to fight infection and those cells they do possess have reduced phagocytosis capability [11,12]

Supplementation?

It all starts with your diet... you can't out-supplement a horrid diet. 

 But-- there are certain things that DO make a significant difference.. and are great to incorporate on a normal basis! 
The basics 
  • Vitamin C: 3,000 mg - 5,000 mg (or more) daily, divided into 1,000mg doses.
    • Liposomal forms will be best absorbed/utilized 
  • Vitamin D3: 1000 IUs for every 35-100 lbs of body weight. (Depending on who you talk to.. but  Roughly-- 3000 to 6000 IUs for most.
    • Most will require closer to 5,000 IUs/day. 
    • Best source?  The SUN. 
    • Older adults do not create their own as easily.  
    • K2, and Magnesium are important to properly convert. 
  • Magnesium: 400 mg daily (in the form of citrate, malate, chelate, or glycinate) 
  • Zinc: 30 mg daily

  • Selenium: 100 mcg (micrograms) daily
  • Other alkalizing trace minerals
    • Ionized trace mineral supplements (pour into water).  1/2 tsp per glass of water. 
    • Celtic sea salt. Himalayan salt. 

Vitamin C, Vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and selenium have been clinically/scientifically shown to strengthen the immune system against viruses.

 If getting sick: 


GOOD!  You getting 'sick' is just an effect of your body reacting and neutralizing unwanted pathogens. Your body is designed to raise it's temperature and release specialized immune cells to initiate an inflammatory response.  Which, is later counteracted by it's own innate ability to produce an anti-inflammatory response.  During these phases, your body may (or may not-depending on the severity of the response)-- produce 'symptoms'.  Again.. these are GOOD.  Suppressing these will only elongate the process, or create other issues down the road.  SUPPORTING your body and immune system is a different story.  There are various things we can do to help with these processes!


  • Stay CALM 
    • Stress will only make matters worse! Trust in your body. Be at peace. Let the HEALING commence. 
    • Incorporate peaceful and destressing 
  • Bump Vit D intake to 20-50K IUs for a few days, then back down to 5-10K. 
  • 1000 mg Vit C every 2-3 hours, or as your GI system can handle it. 
  • Quercitin  
  • Vitamin A: Cod Liver oil is a GREAT bioavailable source. 


Healing Herbs, Roots, Mushrooms,  Spices, Oils

 Many herbs and spices have immune modulating/enhancing abilities.  Whether it's through the activation of various immune factors endogenously, or, through anti-viral/bacterial properties.. utilizing herbs and Spices is a simple, effective, AND tasty way to improve your immune system (and overall health!) 
  • Oregano
  • Echinacea
  • Turmeric 
  • Ginger 
  • Garlic
  •  Mushrooms
    • Reishi, Cordyceps  
  • Clove 
  • Lemon
  • Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) 
  • Butryic Acid


Simple Ways to Incorporate These Powerful, HEALING foods:


  • Make a Tea
  • Diffuse oils
  • Make your own lotion, soap, hand sanitizer, mouthwash, 
  • Encapsulate oils, herbs, spices
Immune Boosting Drink
Ingredients

Inadequacy of Immune Health Nutrients: Intakes in US Adults, the 2005–2016 NHANES



The vast majority of our population is significantly low in vital vitamins and nutrients -- that are required for immune function.
micronutrient usual intake estimates based on nationally representative data in 26,282 adults (>19 years) from the 2005–2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). Overall, the prevalence of inadequacy (% of population below estimated average requirement [EAR]) in four out of five key immune nutrients is substantial. Specifically, 45% of the U.S. population had a prevalence of inadequacy for vitamin A, 46% for vitamin C, 95% for vitamin D, 84% for vitamin E, and 15% for zinc

Vitamin D

SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates associated with circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels


Studies suggest an association between vitamin D deficiency and risk of viral upper respiratory tract infections and mortality from coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) [1, 2]. This relationship is anticipated, given that vitamin D has numerous actions affecting the innate and adaptive immune systems. Respiratory monocytes/macrophages and epithelial cells constitutively express the vitamin D receptor. Acting through this receptor, vitamin D may be important in protection against respiratory infections [3]. In addition, an important action of vitamin D is suppressing excessive cytokine release that can present as a “cytokine storm,” a common cause of COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality [4].

Notably, the reduced likelihood of testing positive for the virus increased from 30 to 52 percent for African Americans when adjusted for the same variables.


Strengthening the Immune System and Reducing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress through Diet and Nutrition: Considerations during the COVID-19 Crisis



An optimal immune response depends on an adequate diet and nutrition in order to keep infection at bay. For example, sufficient protein intake is crucial for optimal antibody production. Low micronutrient status, such as of vitamin A or zinc, has been associated with increased infection risk. Frequently, poor nutrient status is associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, which in turn can impact the immune system. Dietary constituents with especially high anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity include vitamin C, vitamin E, and phytochemicals such as carotenoids and polyphenols. Several of these can interact with transcription factors such as NF-kB and Nrf-2, related to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, respectively. Vitamin D in particular may perturb viral cellular infection via interacting with cell entry receptors (angiotensin converting enzyme 2), ACE2. Dietary fiber, fermented by the gut microbiota into short-chain fatty acids, has also been shown to produce anti-inflammatory effects. In this review, we highlight the importance of an optimal status of relevant nutrients to effectively reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, thereby strengthening the immune system during the COVID-19 crisis.

Colostrum is made up of an enormous variety of macro and microconstituents such as cytokines, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs).
  • These components play important biological roles that are vital to proper health and immune function, including:
    • Cytokines: Part of your systemic immune system. These messengers keep communication between immune cells active to regulate the body’s immune response
    • Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin assists with iron absorption and is a crucial part of your immune defense system.
    • Immunoglobulins: (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM) Immunoglobulins are small proteins that are used by your immune system to seek out and destroy foreign antigens (invaders).
    • Proline-Rich Polypeptides: PRPs are important immune system regulators that encourage the growth of white blood cells and may restore the balance of cellular immune functions. PRPs may defend against oxidative stress and support brain health.

Immune PRP Pro

Proline-Rich Polypeptides for supporting a healthy immune system.◆

Immune PRP Pro contains pure bovine colostrum which is rich in immunoglobulins, especially IgG, as well as IgA and IgM. Bovine colostrum contains 40 times more immune-related components than human milk. In addition to these immune system enhancers, bovine colostrum contains viable cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, which secrete special proteins that support your immune system◆; these proteins include cytokines, lactoferrin, and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP).

Vitamin C intake and susceptibility to the common cold.


30% Reduction in common cold virus


Double/Triple your Vitamin D3:
Adults: 10-20,000 IU daily
Children: 3-5000 IU daily
D3 activates your P53 gene which is responsible for DNA synthesis of your immune system.

Double/Triple your Vitamin C:
Adults: 2-3,000mg daily
Children: 500-1,000mg daily
Vitamin C stimulates the production of white blood cells, especially lymphocytes which are antiviral.


Magnesium 

  • Plays a particular role in inflammation modulation:: Inhibits the release of histamines -- which can constrict the bronchi and bronchioles (the major airways into the lungs) .

Influenza Virus and Glycemic Variability in Diabetes: A Killer Combination?


" Hyperglycemia can reduce neutrophil degranulation (Stegenga et al., 2008), impair complement activation (Ilyas et al., 2011) and impair phagocytosis (Alexiewicz et al., 1995) – all of which can increase the severity of bacterial infections as well as viral infections such as influenza."

 "exposure of pulmonary epithelial cells to elevated glucose concentrations significantly increased influenza virus infection and replication (Kohio and Adamson, 2013), suggesting that hyperglycemia may increase viral replication in vivo. Elevated glucose levels may also serve to suppress the anti-viral immune response (Reading et al., 1998). In a mouse model of type I diabetes, susceptibility to influenza was associated with a reduction in the anti-viral activity of collectins (Reading et al., 1998). This immunosuppression was driven by hyperglycemia as disease susceptibility could be reversed with insulin treatment (Reading et al., 1998). These findings are consistent with studies of patients infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza, whereby hyperglycemia was associated with a fatal outcome (Wiwanitkit, 2008)."

 "Finally, it is important to recognize that during influenza virus pandemics of the last century (including the 2009 H1N1 pandemic) the majority of fatalities were the result of secondary bacterial infections, rather than primary viral pneumonia (Short et al., 2012). Elevated airway glucose concentrations can increase the replication of respiratory bacterial pathogens (Garnett et al., '

"Glycemic variability is induced by many different factors including consuming a meal, changes in exercise, weight, medication, diet, and sleep patterns (Davies, 2004)"

 "There is now a growing body of evidence showing that glycemic oscillations play an important role in endothelial dysfunction, irrespective of HbA1c levels (Risso et al., 2001; Quagliaro et al., 2003; Azuma et al., 2006; Ceriello et al., 2008)"

 "Given that glycemic oscillations are known to induce endothelial cytokine production (Quagliaro et al., 2005; Mudaliar et al., 2014) and enhance the expression of endothelial adhesions (Quagliaro et al., 2005; Mudaliar et al., 2014), it is tempting to speculate that glycemic variability augments the severity of influenza, at least in part, via effects on pulmonary endothelial cells."



Optimizing your Body's SUPERSYSTEM 

           The Nervous System 
"Contemporary research is beginning to shed light on the neurobiological mechanisms, which may explain the outstanding clinical results chiropractors have experienced when managing patients with viral and infectious diseases…. A comprehensive review of the research literature reveals the current understanding that the brain and immune system are the two major adaptive systems in the body. During an immune response, the brain and the immune system “talk to each other” and this process is essential for maintaining homeostasis, or balance in the body."

PERSPECTIVES ON CHIROPRACTIC AND IMMUNITY

AUTHOR // Scott Rosenthal, D.C., Matt McCoy, D.C. and Stamatis V. Tsamoutalidis, D.C.
"Chiropractors helping patients battle the flu is not a new occurrence. During the 1917–18 influenza epidemic, an estimated 20 million people died throughout the world, including about 500,000 Americans. It was chiropractic’s success in caring for flu victims that led to the profession’s licensure in many states. Researchers reported that in Davenport, Iowa, out of the 93,590 patients treated by medical doctors, there were 6,116 deaths— a loss of one patient out of every 15. Chiropractors at the Palmer School of Chiropractic in Davenport adjusted 1,635 cases of flu-stricken patients, with only one subsequent death. Outside Davenport, chiropractors in Iowa cared for 4,735 cases with only six deaths— one out of 866. During the same epidemic, in Oklahoma, out of 3,490 flu patients under chiropractic care, there were only 7 deaths. Furthermore, chiropractors were called in for 233 cases that were given up as lost by the medical establishment, and reportedly saved all but 25. In another report covering 4,193 cases by 213 chiropractors, 4,104 showed complete recovery."

“These results are not so surprising, given what we now know about the interaction between the nervous system and the immune system,” writes Matthew McCoy, D.C., M.P.H., editor of The Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health–Chiropractic. “Through research we know that chiropractic has beneficial effects on immunoglobulins, B-lymphocytes (white blood cells), pulmonary function and other immune system processes.” One such study, conducted by Patricia Brennan, Ph.D., and her team, found that when a chiropractic “manipulation” was applied to the middle back, the response of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (white blood cells) taken from blood collected 15 minutes after the manipulation was significantly higher than blood collected 15 minutes before the chiropractic procedure. This research demonstrated an “enhanced respiratory burst” following the chiropractic adjustment. This burst is needed for our immune cells to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
Another small study was conducted to study the effects of specific chiropractic adjustments on the immune systems of HIV-positive individuals. Over the six-month period of the study, the group that did not receive chiropractic care experienced a 7.96 percent decrease in CD4 cell counts; the adjusted group experienced a 48 percent increase in CD4 cell counts over the same period.

It is important to note that chiropractic is not the treatment of conditions. Treating disease is the practice of medicine. What distinguishes chiropractic from medicine is its emphasis on restoring function to the body by enhancing the performance of the nervous system. Chiropractic restores the integrity of the nervous system. When a vertebra subluxates (misaligns and interferes with nerve impulses), it inhibits the body from functioning optimally and results in a loss of health. The chiropractor regularly checks the spine to correct subluxations soon after they occur. This is the uniqueness of chiropractic. It is a service that no one else performs and is a necessary component of restoring well-being, which is starkly different from a diseasetreating approach.
Additionally, chiropractors understand the importance of things like nutrition and lifestyle, which are often neglected in conventional healthcare. 

The vagus nerve and the inflammatory reflex—linking immunity and metabolism


The vagus nerve has an important role in regulation of metabolic homeostasis, and efferent vagus nerve-mediated cholinergic signalling controls immune function and proinflammatory responses via the inflammatory reflex. Dysregulation of metabolism and immune function in obesity are associated with chronic inflammation, a critical step in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Cholinergic mechanisms within the inflammatory reflex have, in the past 2 years, been implicated in attenuating obesity-related inflammation and metabolic complications. This knowledge has led to the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches in the treatment of obesity-related disorders.


The sympathetic nerve--an integrative interface between two supersystems: the brain and the immune system.



"The brain and the immune system are the two major adaptive systems of the body. During an immune response the brain and the immune system "talk to each other" and this process is essential for maintaining homeostasis. Two major pathway systems are involved in this cross-talk: the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). This overview focuses on the role of SNS in neuroimmune interactions, an area that has received much less attention than the role of HPA axis"

Immune cell subsets express receptors for many of these ligands and similarly, receptors for cytokines and growth factors have been identified on cells within the central nervous and endocrine systems. During times of stress or injury, each of these systems come into play and transmits messages to one another. The lines of communication between the immune system and these various neuronal and endocrine organ systems constitute specific axes of interactions, which have been shown to have a profound impact on immune function, disease development and susceptibility to infections and disease."
^^^ So much good stuff in here and the relation to various hormonal systems. 

The sympathetic nerve--an integrative interface between two supersystems: the brain and the immune system.

" Evidence accumulated over the last 20 years suggests that norepinephrine (NE) fulfills the criteria for neurotransmitter/neuromodulator in lymphoid organs. Thus, primary and secondary lymphoid organs receive extensive sympathetic/noradrenergic innervation. Under stimulation, NE is released from the sympathetic nerve terminals in these organs, and the target immune cells express adrenoreceptors. Through stimulation of these receptors, locally released NE, or circulating catecholamines such as epinephrine, affect lymphocyte traffic, circulation, and proliferation, and modulate cytokine production and the functional activity of different lymphoid cells. Although there exists substantial sympathetic innervation in the bone marrow, and particularly in the thymus and mucosal tissues, our knowledge about the effect of the sympathetic neural input on hematopoiesis, thymocyte development, and mucosal immunity"

" In addition, recent evidence is discussed that NE and epinephrine, through stimulation of the beta(2)-adrenoreceptor-cAMP-protein kinase A pathway, inhibit the production of type 1/proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL-12), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma by antigen-presenting cells and T helper (Th) 1 cells, whereas they stimulate the production of type 2/anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 and transforming growth factor-beta. Through this mechanism, systemically, endogenous catecholamines may cause a selective suppression of Th1 responses and cellular immunity, and a Th2 shift toward dominance of humoral immunity. On the other hand, in certain local responses, and under certain conditions, catecholamines may actually boost regional immune responses, through induction of IL-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and primarily IL-8 production. Thus, the activation of SNS during an immune response might be aimed to localize the inflammatory response, through induction of neutrophil accumulation and stimulation of more specific humoral immune responses, although systemically it may suppress Th1 responses, and, thus protect the organism from the detrimental effects of proinflammatory cytokines and other products of activated macrophages. "

"The above-mentioned immunomodulatory effects of catecholamines and the role of SNS are also discussed in the context of their clinical implication in certain infections, major injury and sepsis, autoimmunity, chronic pain and fatigue syndromes, and tumor growth."

Fundamental aspects of neural-immune signaling.

"Noradrenergic and peptidergic nerve fibers abundantly innervate the parenchyma of both primary (bone marrow) and secondary (spleen, lymph nodes) lymphoid organs. Nerve fibers distribute within the parenchyma of these organs, as well as along smooth muscle compartments. Both noradrenaline and peptides such as substance P have been shown to fulfill the basic criteria for neurotransmission with lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immunocytes as targets. Denervation or pharmacological manipulation of these neurotransmitters can profoundly alter immunological reactivity at the individual cellular level, at the level of complex multicellular interactions (such as antibody response), and at the level of host response to a disease-producing challenge."

The vagus nerve and the inflammatory reflex—linking immunity and metabolism
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4082307/pdf/nihms488460.pdf

Abstract

The vagus nerve has an important role in regulation of metabolic homeostasis, and efferent vagus nerve-mediated cholinergic signalling controls immune function and proinflammatory responses via the inflammatory reflex. Dysregulation of metabolism and immune function in obesity are associated with chronic inflammation, a critical step in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Cholinergic mechanisms within the inflammatory reflex have, in the past 2 years, been implicated in attenuating obesity-related inflammation and metabolic complications. This knowledge has led to the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches in the treatment of obesity-related disorders. 
The inflammatory reflex is a physiological mechanism through which the vagus nerve regulates immune function and inhibits excessive proinflammatory cytokine production ▪ Vagus nerve signalling has an important role in the regulation of feeding behaviour and metabolic homeostasis ▪ Disruption of metabolic and immune regulation in obesity results in inflammation, which mediates insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as other debilitating and life-threatening conditions ▪ Activation of cholinergic signalling in the efferent arm of the inflammatory reflex alleviates obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic derangements ▪ The inflammatory reflex can potentially be exploited for treatment of the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus and other obesity-driven disorders

Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017–2018 influenza season

 Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus and human metapneumovirus;

"While influenza vaccination offers protection against influenza, natural influenza infection may reduce the risk of non-influenza respiratory viruses by providing temporary, non-specific immunity against these viruses [7], [8]. On the other hand, recently published studies have described the phenomenon of vaccine-associated virus interference; that is, vaccinated individuals may be at increased risk for other respiratory viruses because they do not receive the non-specific immunity associated with natural infection [7], [8], [9], [10]. There has been limited evidence that the influenza vaccine may actually be associated with the virus interference process"

Those who receive the flew shot had a 36% higher risk of contracting coronavirus

Immune Boosters: 12 Natural Immune System Modulators


https://drjockers.com/immune-boosters-modulators/




The dark side of quarantine...
Many people are following the self-quarantine guidelines in an effort to keep themselves and others “safe” from getting the coronavirus. Every person should be taking measures to build their immune systems (see my previous posts for more on this) but instead, many people are doing things that suppress and compromise their immune systems. The quarantine can give people a false sense of security in this regard.
Stay with me here. I have seen people posting pictures and making remarks on social media that are concerning. For example, I’ve seen pictures of people’s grocery carts and countertops containing snacks, cookies, crackers, soda, microwave meals, and overall loads of junk food with the caption “Quarantine Ready”. When I go to the grocery store, all of the processed, packaged foods shelves are empty and the produce section is still well-stocked. Eating this type of food is suppressing your immune system and compromising your body’s ability to ward off something like the coronavirus.
Many of the kids who are home from school are not getting exercise (nor are their parents because many gyms are closed) and screen time is drastically increasing. This is an immune suppressing combination for sure.
People are home watching the news, getting their heads filled with negativity and fear rather than positive, affirming thoughts. I’ve heard many people say they are just keeping the news on all day. This is very detrimental to your state of mind.
Let’s talk about stress. Stress has profound negative effects on your health, particularly your immune system! Fear is stress, having your kids home from school all day is stress, not being able to work is stress, having to navigate meals when you are quarantined is stress. The list goes on and on.
Many people are being ultra-vigilant about cleaning and sanitizing everything around them. This effort is also problematic because many of the products people are using are loaded with toxic chemicals including hormone disrupters and neurotoxins. These can also suppress your immune system. This is not to say that a clean house is not good but there are better alternatives. We have organic, non-toxic wipes and cleaners we are using at our office and homes and you can do the same.
Couple this with not getting fresh air and sunlight, it is a recipe for disaster.
As I’ve mentioned in several of my other posts, keeping your nervous system (which controls everything) functioning as optimally as possible and ensuring your immune system is on high alert it of the utmost importance. We are encouraging our patients to come in for their regular adjustments and to even consider increasing their frequency of adjustments. This is certainly not the time to avoid getting adjusted! (see my previous post today)
Please, if you are in a quarantined or semi-quarantined situation, start doing things that will build and support your immune system, rather than break it down.

Fever and the thermal regulation of immunity: the immune system feels the heat

-- Good general overview of fever response. 
"In this Review, we discuss the evidence suggesting that febrile temperatures boost the effectiveness of the immune response during infections by stimulating both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. We will highlight the role of the pyrogenic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) in two key phases of the febrile response: firstly in driving the rise in core temperature, and secondly as a downstream effector cytokine orchestrating lymphocyte trafficking to lymphoid organs. We also describe febrile temperature as a ‘rheostat’, dialling down systemic inflammation during the return to homeostasis."
  • "Heat shock proteins (HSP) are cytoprotective proteins that are constitutively expressed and also rapidly induced under proteotoxic stress conditions such as heat, hypoxia, oxidative stress, toxin exposure, nutrient deprivation, and infection.26–29,200–202"

    Aggressively treating fever in critically ill patients may lead to a higher mortality rate."

T-cells Are the Superstars in Fighting COVID-19 — But Why are some People So Poor at Making Them?

Covid-19: Do many people have pre-existing immunity?

BMJ 2020; 370 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m3563 (Published 17 September 2020)Cite this as: BMJ 2020;370:m3563

Not so novel coronavirus?

At least six studies have reported T cell reactivity against SARS-CoV-2 in 20% to 50% of people with no known exposure to the virus.5678910

In a study of donor blood specimens obtained in the US between 2015 and 2018, 50% displayed various forms of T cell reactivity to SARS-CoV-2.511 A similar study that used specimens from the Netherlands reported T cell reactivity in two of 10 people who had not been exposed to the virus.7

In Germany reactive T cells were detected in a third of SARS-CoV-2 seronegative healthy donors (23 of 68). In Singapore a team analysed specimens taken from people with no contact or personal history of SARS or covid-19; 12 of 26 specimens taken before July 2019 showed reactivity to SARS-CoV-2, as did seven of 11 from people who were seronegative against the virus.8 Reactivity was also discovered in the UK and Sweden.6910


T cell studies have received scant media attention, in contrast to research on antibodies, which seem to dominate the news (probably, says Buggert, because antibodies are easier, faster, and cheaper to study than T cells). Two recent studies reported that naturally acquired antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 begin to wane after just 2-3 months, fuelling speculation in the lay press about repeat infections.282930

But T cell studies allow for a substantially different, more optimistic, interpretation. In the Singapore study, for example, SARS-CoV-1 reactive T cells were found in SARS patients 17 years after infection. “Our findings also raise the possibility that long lasting T cells generated after infection with related viruses may be able to protect against, or modify the pathology caused by, infection with SARS-CoV-2,”8 the investigators wrote.

T cell studies may also help shed light on other mysteries of covid-19, such as why children have been surprisingly spared the brunt of the pandemic, why it affects people differently, and the high rate of asymptomatic infections in children and young adults.



 T cells could be a key factor that explains why places like New York, London, and Stockholm seem to have experienced a wave of infections and no subsequent resurgence. This would be because protective levels of immunity, not measurable through serology alone but instead the result of a combination of pre-existing and newly formed immune responses, could now exist in the population, preventing an epidemic rise in new infections. 


Theoretically, the placebo arm of a covid-19 vaccine trial could provide a straightforward way to carry out such a study, by comparing the clinical outcomes of people with versus those without pre-existing T cell reactivity to SARS-CoV-2. A review by The BMJ of all primary and secondary outcome measures being studied in the two large ongoing, placebo controlled phase III trials, however, suggests that no such analysis is being done.3334

Could pre-existing immunity be more protective than future vaccines? Without studying the question, we won’t know. 




Research establishments including Yale found that in mild or asymptomatic cases, many T-cells are produced. These were highly varied, responding not just to parts of the Spike, S protein or Receptor Binding Domain but to many other parts of the virus. Notably, in these mild cases there were few or no detectable antibodies. Conversely, the severely ill produced few T-cells with less variety but had plenty of antibodies. What is also of interest is that men produced fewer T-cells than women, and unlike women, their T-cell response reduced with age.


 

Single-Cell Omics Reveals Dyssynchrony of the Innate and Adaptive Immune System in Progressive COVID-19

A dysregulated immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus plays a critical role in severe COVID-19. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which the virus causes lethal immunopathology are poorly understood.

Reevaluate your nutrition strategy amid COVID-19, doctors say



"Several research studies have discovered a correlation between high blood sugar levels and immune dysfunction. High blood sugar prevents critical immune cells called neutrophils from releasing disease-fighting proteins and enzymes stored within the cells. It also inhibits “phagocytosis,” a process where immune cells engulf foreign pathogenic particles that dare to cross their paths. Neutrophil and phagocytosis are key for human health, as they allow the body to fight various infections, including respiratory viruses. "


When a cell is damaged, it releases a substance called a prostaglandin, which carries a chemical message to the central nervous system that the cell is in need of repair. The central nervous system responds by initiating the healing process that is needed to repair the damage.
Aspirin destroys the prostaglandins so that communication is broken between the damaged cells and the nervous system and the healing process is interrupted.
In a review of several studies, flu sufferers who took an anti-fever medication were sick an average of 3.5 days longer than people who did not take drugs. The drugs may make the flu more bearable by relieving aches and pains, but they may make it last longer.
On average, flu symptoms lasted 5.3 days in participants who did not take aspirin or acetaminophen, compared with 8.8 days in people who took the anti-fever drugs.
One possibility is that reducing fever may interfere with the immune system's response to an infection, the authors note. Dr. Karen Plaisance, lead author and professor of pharmacy at the University of Maryland, noted that similar findings have been reported in studies of chickenpox.
Aspirin temporarily relieves the discomfort of the symptoms, but by doing so, it slows down the healing process, which prolongs the problem rather than correcting it. Additionally, aspirin causes many adverse reactions and side effects.

CORONA Common Sense
Since they are calling on Respiratory therapist to help fight the Corona virus, and I am a retired one, too old to work in a hospital setting. I'm gonna share some common sense wisdom with those that have the virus and trying to stay home. If my advice is followed as given you will improve your chances of not ending up in the hospital on a ventilator. This applies to the otherwise generally healthy population, so use discretion. 1. Only high temperatures kill a virus, so let your fever run high. Tylenol, Advil. Motrin, Ibuprofen etc. will bring your fever down allowing the virus to live longer. They are saying that ibuprophen, advil etc will actually exacerbate the virus. Use common sense and don't let fever go over 103 or 104 if you got the guts. If it gets higher than that take your tylenol, not ibuprophen or advil to keep it regulated. It helps to keep house warm and cover up with blankets so body does not have to work so hard to generate the heat. It usually takes about 3 days of this to break the fever. 2. The body is going to dehydrate with the elevated temperature so you must rehydrate yourself regulaly, whether you like it or not. Gatorade with real sugar, or pedialyte with real sugar for kids, works well. Why the sugar? Sugar will give your body back the energy it is using up to create the fever. The electrolytes and fluid you are losing will also be replenished by the Gatorade. If you don't do this and end up in the hospital they will start an IV and give you D5W (sugar water) and Normal Saline to replenish electrolytes. Gatorade is much cheaper, pain free, and comes in an assortment of flavors 3. You must keep your lungs moist. Best done by taking long steamy showers on a regular basis, if your wheezing or congested use a real minty toothpaste and brush your teeth while taking the steamy shower and deep breath through your mouth. This will provide some bronchial dialation and help loosen the phlegm. Force your self to cough into a wet wash cloth pressed firmly over your mouth and nose, which will cause greater pressure in your lungs forcing them to expand more and break loose more of the congestion. 4. Eat healthy and regularly. Gotta keep your strength up. 5. Once the fever breaks, start moving around to get the body back in shape and blood circulating. 6. Deep breath on a regular basis, even when it hurts. If you don't it becomes easy to develope pneumonia. Pursed lip breathing really helps. That's breathing in deep and slow then exhaling through tight lips as if your blowing out a candle, blow until you have completely emptied your lungs and you will be able to breath in an even deeper breath. This helps keep lungs expanded as well as increase your oxygen level. 7. Remember that every medication you take is merely relieving the symptoms, not making you well. 8. If your still dying go to ER.
I've been doing these things for myself and my family for over 40 years and kept them out of the hospital, all are healthy and still living today.
Thank you all for sharing. We gotta help one another

The fact is Isolation weakens your immune system. Sitting on your couch all day weakens your immune system. Excessive amounts of hand sanitizer weaken your immune system by killing your microboime. Lack of fresh air and sunshine weakens your immune system. Lack of exposure to germs weakens your immune system. [Yes, use common sense and proper hygiene.] Sedentary lifestyle weakens your immune system. It doesn’t take long either. Sugar also weakens your immune system. Lack of vitamins and nourishment weakens your immune system. These are facts. This is human biology 101. Our bodies need to be in harmony and balance with the bacteria and virus in nature to build immunity. This is known as the human virome which is made up of 380 trillion virus we have been exposed to over the past 200,000 years. Our immune system needs to keep up and be in balance with the ever changing/mutating germs. Do you put your faith in the spoonful of medicine that has been around for 2 months or the power that has been animating this earth for eons?

How Does the Immune system work? 

the roles of various immune system components are complex and interconnected. B cells produce antibodies, but B cells are regulated by T cells, and while T cells and antibodies both respond to viruses in the body, T cells do so on infected cells, whereas antibodies help prevent cells from being infected.
