so let's talk about the antiviral effect of autophagy
what is autophagy it means self eat your body has
a certain mechanism that it can break down things and recycle them
autophagy is mainly known for breaking down
damaged proteins in the body but it also can deal with clear out intracellular
viruses bacteria fungus candida even nanobacteria that's hiding
in the biofilms which are a little calcium igloos
it's quite fascinating that you have in your body right now
this defense mechanism this survival mechanism
to keep these microbes outside the body autophagy works with both parts of the
immune system on one hand you have the innate immune
system which is something you're born with
and you have certain mechanisms like phagocytosis where the neutrophils and
the phagocytes actually engulf viruses and other
microbes and eat them and then you also have the natural
killer cells which kill cancer cells and viruses
that's on the innate part but it also is affected on the adaptive part which
is the other part of the immune system that's also called the acquired immune
system where it learns from experience what will happen in autophagy
is that it will break down a virus and it'll take a part of that virus and
present it to the t cells it'll be equivalent to
taking a picture of some bad guy and giving it to
immigration so if they try to cross the border they see
this guy and then they take them down there are certain killers t cells that
can kill viruses but they need help to be able to
identify and differentiate the good guys from the
bad guys certain viruses over time have evolved
and they can resist autophagy okay but it really depends on the strength of
your immune system and there's other variables as well
there are certain viruses that can get through the radar and exist
inside your body inside the cell but we have
autophagy as a mechanism to clear out these pathogens
and especially latent viruses what is a latent virus
it's a virus that goes in remission and kind of waits until the timing is
just right and then it comes out so it might be reactivated when you're
under stress for example you're getting older and you're
nutritionally deficient and it comes out but latent viruses are the dormant
viruses that are not reproducing maybe a little bit but not to the point
where your immune system can see them and they just sit and they wait
autophagy is a really good mechanism to clean out these so
in the future if you do go through stress those viruses are not
there now most viruses give subclinical type symptoms so in
other words you might have been exposed to
epstein-barr virus and then when it gets reactivated
it's not going to necessarily create the full-blown infection
it may just cause you to be tired and run down
so it may give you a part of that infection
not the full-blown infections you might have sore muscles for example
actually there's quite a few people who have arthritis or
chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia which has this subclinical partially
active virus situation going on in which case
you know either the tophagi is not working or there's
some other stress state that they're in and then you have other viruses
like the herpes virus that can come out as its full-blown infection autophagy is
very important in decreasing viral loads and decreasing
pathogens in general and if you're not familiar with all the things that
trigger autophagy you definitely need to watch that video
i put that link down below here are some other really important
remedies colloidal silver very very potent for
viruses elderberry extract that binds to those
little spikes in the viruses preventing them from going into your
body garlic a very powerful antiviral
olive leaf extract and taking zinc can do a lot for viruses as far as
decrease the duration of infection increase your resistance against getting
an infection and if zinc gets in the cell it can
actually kill certain viruses anyway check out the video down below
and all the things that can trigger autophagy
hey we're back with another amazing recipe no grains
no sugar totally keto there's no suffering on keto
absolutely not karen and it's an immune system builder
absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up
watch the recipe and make it yourself it's just so easy to be keto
but is it simple it's super simple we hope you enjoy
making it as much as we are enjoying eating it
