Can you actually boost your immune system? Here’s the truth | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter
Take vitamin C supplements when you feel a cold coming on? The problem is, you can’t actually “strengthen” your immune system, says Dr. Jen Gunter. Diving into the elegant network of cells, tissues and organs that protect us every day, she introduces two kinds of immunity that specialize in recognizing and fighting off bad bacteria,…

Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation.

I understand what you are saying about the “impossibility” of making one’s immune system stronger. But, are you also saying that nutrition does not play a part in making our immune system function as it should? Things like turmeric are part the daily diet in some cultures after all.

You sure can weakend your immune with prolong allopathic drug consumption. Just like how 99% of covid death are with comorbidity who takes ace2 up regulating drugs. Sleep deprivation, poor diet, lack of outdoor, sunlight, stress all makes us fall sick easily. The speaker only mention innate and adaptive. Please watch Dr Shiva Ayyadurai’s explanation based on new understanding of the immune where he mention innate, neural, Interferon, adaptive part of the immune system. How important is the microbiome to optimal immune system.

Vaccines are only useful if the stressful reaction to them is less dangerous than the risk of catching the disease combined with its severity. So vaccines are not always good and never only good. But before you jump to stupid conclusions: in case of Covid 19 the odds are stacked extremely far in favor of the vaccine. Taking a flu vaccine every year is probably debatable much more.

LOL, I like the Sunshine analogy. Except she should have reversed it. Plants may grow without enough Sunshine, but won’t thrive. So, go outside and get your daily dose of Sunshine to make your own Vitamin D. Because Vitamin D really will Boost your Immune System. We even have a Term for Vitamin D deficiency, it’s called “Cold and Flu Season”. So, go ahead and Boost your Immunity with Vitamin D Supplement in the fall and winter, if your dark skinned or stay indoors too much.

This is so narrow sited. Vitamins are bad and vaccines are good. This is not true at all. Most vaccines contain a lot of dangerous substances which causes allergies and weaken the body . Like aluminium or spike proteins. You cannot get all the nutrients out of even a so called healthy diet . Nobody of us mange to eat 7 times biological grown and fresh picked and rapid eaten vegetables and fruits. This video seams to be sponsored by the Pharma Industrie . Im really disappointed thought TED is different from the mainstream media.

Just saw an ad on tv from Kaiser encouraging vaccines but also exercise. He stated that those who were regular exercisers had half the COVID problems. And how do you explain the placebo effect? There have even been studies showing the efficacy of prayer on healing. And then there’s the whole gut microbiome which is just barely understood by medicine and has huge potential to affect health. I think she needs to do some more research and keep an open mind.
Marcin R

How we should understand this statement : “some studies” , what this even mean in this day’s. If we use it, then a logical person should think that “some studies” have “true” as a result, and some studies ( about the same subject) have “false” as a result …for me this combination of words indicate that we should avoid a particular article because it clearly has the “agenda” (for those who thinks I’m not agreeing with this video next statement is for You ….I fully agree with this video 🙂 ) …my problem is only with using this combination of words “some studies” …statistically it is better to avoid sources where this combination is used, but this video is an exception … I’m not surprised that we have so many confused people, and I’m one of them 🙂

This video was no better than quacks selling immune booster supplements. I mean how do you monitor on a regular basis what nutrients, vitamins etc body is lacking? How do you decide what to supplement or not on a tegular basis. Can’t do a blood test each day. Everyone’s body is a unique chemistry but in the absence of the knowledge of whether it is in right balance people make guesses and do self supplementation which in rare cases does fetch some results. But overall managing good health and immunity is no more than a chance thing, a random guesswork.

When you are vitamin deficient your body TELLS you. Sudden hair loss? could be vit.D deficiency. Your vision gets blurry in the evening? Vit. A deficiency. Unless your diet is extremely bad, it’s REALLY hard to get vitamin deficiency in the modern world because a lot of our foods are already fortified with vitamins. For example, one case of vitamin deficiency in the UK was from a man who ONLY eats white bread for months on ends, and even then the vitamin deficiency occurs only after some time because even white breads are fortified with vitamins. Overall just eat your damn fruit and veggies and you’ll be just fine.

There are many many herbs and foods that can stimulate the immune system through production of killer T cells and phagocytes. In fact white button mushrooms have been found to benefit a lot people with autoimmune condition by boosting immunity while also decreasing inflammation at the same time!! Better than using steroids to numb your immune system, think of it logically, if your body is attacking itself something must be wrong, find the cause and treat it rather than suppressing the entire immune system leaving you susceptible to cancers, viruses, infections etc. Also, they don’t often tell you especially while giving you antibiotics to fight off the infections they caused in the first place by dampening your immune system that they are killing your micro biome and gut flora. You’re gut flora and microbiome contains bacteria’s, viruses, protozoa and fungi and actually plays a very significant role in the function of your immune system, Another point is is their are over 20 nutrients for your immune system and most people are deficient in these and alot of the rates the rda say is just enough to keep you functioning. We need zinc (which a 3rd of the population is deficient in), copper, SELENIUM which is the master antioxidant in your body for glutathione, vit D (most people are deficient), vitamin e (again most people are deficient and when they take more they gain significant results), vitamin a (most people are deficient in as it’s not into that many foods), a lot of b vitamins which most people are low in most of them, there are sooo many more nutrients for the immune systems but just the main ones people are deficient in.

Neh no way I am coming close to a vaccine. I tried it last year and my body did not take it well. I experience some complications. The thing that is working me is extreme workout session (Body weight training with no supplement just a pure health diet). I used to have a sleeping disorder and skin problems. But exercise helped me with that, now I am off my 💊 meds. I am healthy as ox.
I am not saying the vaccine is good or bad. I just reporting that it’s not a quick fix for everyone. My body happens to reacts better to exercise and healthy eating. [So I am not taking the shot💉]

Have you ever digged dipper what vaccine’s ingredients are? Majority of them contain aluminium which is extremely toxic to our system. What is more, immune system remembers virus for life time, e.g. ‘measles’. Nevertheless, you must do vaccination periodically till the end of your life if you choose vaccine’s path instead

Why do we need a vaccine even if we used to get a desease from it and recover naturally? What’s the point of inserting more of that things inside again if our immune system remember them in a first place? There’s actually a way to make your immune system “stronger” by not living too clean and sterile and train the immune system to fight and remember anything they encounter. Adaptability is a key of evolution.
