I don’t care who you are, everyone hates catching a nasty cold or a virus. One day you feel great and the next BAM, you feel like you got hit by a bus. So here’s how to bulletproof your immune system against diseases this upcoming winter. Thread🧵
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice* Gm, it’s George. Inside this thread, there will be some tips and tricks that can help you battle a cold or virus more effectively, but since we can’t rely on them if we’re being
Here's a basic breakdown of these. 1) White blood cells. White blood cells are made in our bone marrow, are part of the lymphatic system and move through blood and tissue throughout your body, looking for foreign invaders (microbes) such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and
3) Lymphatic system The lymphatic system is a network of delicate tubes throughout the body. Some of the main roles of the lymphatic system are to: -Manage the fluid levels in the body -React to bacteria -Deal with cancer cells -Deal with cell products that otherwise would
5) Bone marrow Bone marrow is the spongy tissue found inside your bones. It produces the red blood cells our bodies need to carry oxygen, the white blood cells we use to fight infection, and the platelets we need to help our blood clot. 6) Thymus The thymus filters and monitors
I hope that these weren't hard to understand and helped you a bit when it comes to clarifying the main parts of the immune system. But not, let's talk about certain things we HAVE to do in order to support it. Some of these might sound weird, since there won't be a big emphasis
*Now
Number 1: Getting enough of the following nutrients since vitamin C for example helps stimulate the production of white blood cells. 1. Vitamin D from sunlight and things such as fatty fish. 2. Zinc from sources such as quality beef and seafood. 3. Vitamin C from sources such as
Number 2: Relaxing. Chronic stress is a big problem overall. When it comes to the immune system, it can reduce NK cell activity, antibody production, lymphocyte populations/proliferation and so on. But i'm afraid that i have no clue what's causing stress in your life so i can
Number 3: Taking care of our gut We can not have a robust immune system that will protect us against viruses for example without a healthy gut. Our gut, makes up 60% of our total immune system so imagine your immune system being dysfunctional by 30-40-50% because of a messed
Number 4: Getting sunlight. Vitamin D was trending during Covid (read this paper in order to see how wild this is) https://www.medrxiv.org/conten... But obviously, we don't only need sunlight for vitamin D. Getting natural light in the eyes without any sunglasses or glasses for example
Number 5: Go to sleep in a dark room and block the artificial blue light. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p... You can also related this to number 4, but this is about the importance of melatonin basically. And as you can see right here, melatonin is VERY important for our immune system,
Number 6: Glutathione max. Glutathione is naturally produced in the cytosol (an intracellular matrix) and helps with many processes varying from detoxification, protecting the mitochondria from oxidative stress, heart health and the immune system all the way to thyroid hormone
Number 7: Minimize your exposure to toxins. Mycotoxins, BPA, fragrances you name it. All of them can negatively affect the immune system. This thread will help you in regards to this. https://x.com/Helios_Movement/...
Number 8: Maintain a healthy body weight. Notice how the word "weight" is mentioned. Not being fat sure is very helpful, but we also need a bit of muscle so also make sure to include some resistance training. I've posted many threads on these topics both when it comes to the
Number 9: Get that lymphatic system going. Hydrate, do the big 6, use a trampoline, dry brush etc. Fore more on this: https://x.com/Helios_Movement/...
Now let's move on to certain tools you can use. Tool number 1: Colostrum or lactoferrin. As we've said multiple times, colostrum is 3 times more effective when it comes to preventing the flu compared to the jab. https://www.researchgate.net/p... But lactoferrin can also be extremely
Tool number 2: Garlic Compared to other tools, you can use this daily. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Tool number 3: A quality goat's or sheep's whey. Believe it or not, both Hippocrates and Galen used to recommend whey.
Tool number 4: Kefir (You can do water kefir as well if you don't react well do dairy). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p... https://www.sciencedirect.com/...
Tool number 5: Echinacea This one is a good addition when you do have a cold. Prevention wise, don't use it daily and stick to 1-2/week. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go...
Tool number 6: Reishi. This is very effective as well but sky high on oxalates so i'd only use if if i caught something to be honest. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Tool number 7: Andrographis. Alright, this works. A lot. But a lot of people react very negatively to it, so use the other ones first. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Tool number 8: Cold pressed blackseed oil. Can use this multiple times per week if we are talking about 1tsp (if you have a pathogen overgrowth though, it might trigger some die off symptoms). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Tool number 9: Ginger. This one is also great for colds as well. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Tool number 10: NAD+ *I suggest using 100-150mg 2-3 times a day when you catch something. If you consume a bigger dose at once you will need to pair it with something such as TMG. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Tool number 11: Aspirin (ideally white willow extract) + vitamin K. *Dissolve it and don't drink the additives* https://www.sciencedirect.com/...
That was pretty much it. I hope that you learned something from this thread, if you did make sure to leave a like/RT. https://x.com/Helios_Movement/...
