- At this time of year, a lot of us get worried
about colds and flu.
We talk about the "flu season."
And, "Well, it's winter, I'm bound to get a cold,
"I always get sick in the winter."
And we have this belief that our immunity
is something that has nothing to do with us.
Your immunity is in your hands.
There are at least three things that you can do
to massively boost your immune system.
Listen on,
and I'm going to show you
how to have a powerful immune system.
So, I hear many people say, "Oh, you know, I'm so worried,
"I'm always getting sick.
"You know, my kid comes home with a bug,
"and I get it.
"My grandchildren always have colds and I pick them up."
And that's a belief.
And you know what your immune system loves?
It loves you to be positive and focused,
with a powerful belief that, "I am super well."
And what the immune system really does not like
is stress,
panic,
anxiety.
You know, your thoughts are things,
thoughts become real.
Every thought you think has a physical reaction
and an emotional response.
So, here's an example,
I could lie next to my husband in bed,
he could be streaming with cold,
and I could go, "Oh, you're going to make me ill now,
"you've just left that tissue there.
"And don't sneeze or I'm bound to get sick."
Or I could say,
"You know, I have such a great immune system,
"my immune system is so great
"that I can be around him.
"And I'm going to be great."
Because I believe that to get sick
you have to be physically,
mentally, and emotionally out.
And when you're saying, "Oh, I'm going to get sick
"now, I'm worried about getting sick,
"I hope I don't get a cold,
"I'm sure I'm going to get a cold,
"I always get colds in the winter,
"the minute the heating comes on, I get my sinus headaches,"
you are emotionally out.
Because you're expecting it.
And here's another rule of the mind,
what we expect
tends to be realized.
So, your immune system reacts very badly to stress,
worry, panic, and anxiety.
It depresses your immune system.
What makes you have a strong immune system
is passionate beliefs, powerful beliefs,
the way you dialogue with yourself.
"Oh, I'll get sick if I eat that,
"oh, you know, I just ate some chicken,
"at the end I noticed it was a bit undercooked,
"now I'm going to get sick."
Or, you could say, "Sick? I have a great immune system,
"I never get sick."
I remember once, somebody picking something up
off the floor and eating it,
and I looked at him,
he went, "Hey, that's what my immune system is for."
And I travel a lot,
I'm always going through times zones,
I don't get sick and I don't get jet lag.
Because I tell my immune system,
"Hey, you can respond."
I tell everyone, "When I sleep on the plane,
"wherever I arrive, I sleep,
"I adapt really easily." And I do,
but I tell myself that, I program my mind,
condition my mind,
dialogue with my mind, by saying, "Oh, I've just adapted.
"I slept on the plane,
"I feel great, I'll sleep tonight.
"I don't have to wash everything I eat
"because I have a great immune system."
And you may say, "Well, I think you're faking it."
But you know what?
It doesn't matter.
Because here's something that will really resonate
when you let it in.
Your mind doesn't know,
and it doesn't even care,
if what you tell it is good or bad,
true or false,
useful, useless,
helpful or harmful,
it lets it in.
"That's going to make me sick,
"that's going to exhaust me,
"I can't cope with that."
And you just have to flip over the words,
every time you say something negative.
"I'm chronically tired."
"Well, I'm a little tired."
"I've got the flu."
"I've got some aches and pains,
"but, you know, I'm going to hydrate,
"and sleep, and I'll be great."
And, of course, occasionally I get a little something.
And I tell my body,
"I am going to knock this out of my system in a day.
"I'm going to be over this in a day,
"I'm going to sleep,
"and hydrate,
"and I will be just fine."
So, the most important thing to boost your immunity,
to give you a strong, powerful, reliable immune system,
is to think different thoughts
and speak different words.
If you knew
that every word you speak
is a blueprint that your mind,
body, and psyche must
work to make real,
you wouldn't say, "Well, my kid picks up
"everything going at school and I pick it up too."
Or, "It's flu season,
"it's cold season."
Even when you go to the store and stock up on cold medicine,
you're kind of expecting to get sick.
Don't do that,
by all means have a little something in your house,
but don't plan to be sick,
don't plan it.
So, use powerful language,
"My immune system is strong,
"my immune system is powerful,
"I have fantastic immunity,
"a great immune system."
Because your immune system is your first line of defense,
your immune system does a phenomenal job
of keeping you well.
And if you believe in it,
and think great thoughts,
and fill up your mind with images of your immune system
doing a phenomenal job every day,
it will do a phenomenal job.
What else can you do to help your immune system?
Well, here's something people don't seem to know,
every time you eat sugar,
it depresses your immune system for three hours.
And when you're feeling a little off-color
and you eat candy,
and chocolate, and hot chocolate,
to give you energy,
it actually makes you worse.
You are what you eat,
if you want to have a great immune system,
you need to eat a rainbow diet of fruits and vegetables.
You need to eat green vegetables,
you need to eat fruits,
you need to drink water.
So, the more candy you eat,
the more junk food you eat,
your body has to process that,
everything has to go through your immune system,
even when you spray yourself with perfume,
that too must go through your immune system.
So, eat a better diet,
fill up your plate with vegetables.
And not just the same thing,
carrots and peas,
have purple vegetables,
green vegetables, orange vegetables,
that rainbow diet.
Vegetables and fruits,
and particularly the skin, have all kinds of compounds
that will help your immune system.
So, eat better,
look at what you're eating,
buy ingredients, not food.
Don't buy TV dinners, and processed food,
and ready food, because that's not real food.
Buy ingredients, make real food.
Hydrate. People just don't drink water,
"Oh, it's boring,
"I don't like water."
I don't love water,
but my body loves it.
And, to this day, I have to make myself drink water,
especially in the winter.
But I make myself drink water
because my body is 90% water,
if I don't drink water, I feel dehydrated,
that also depresses my immune system.
So, what you think,
what you eat,
how you hydrate.
And here's the third thing about your immune system,
how much do you sleep?
Do you go to bed at two o'clock in the morning,
looking at your phone, stimulating your mind,
have to wake up at seven, and never have enough sleep?
You need to go to bed
before midnight as often as you can,
you need proper deep sleep,
you need to switch the television off
and really rest, because your immune system loves rest.
People who meditate,
say, "You know, since I've meditated,
"all those aches and pains,
"the headaches, the irritable bowel,
"they seem to have gone away."
It's partly because when you meditate
you relax, you empty your mind.
But also meditation makes you think
about taking care of yourself.
You have one body,
it has to last you a long time,
and I know you want your body to look after you,
of course we do.
We all want our body to go, "Hey, body, look after me,
"do a great job."
But your body can't look after you
if you don't look after it,
it's a win-win.
When you can do just a few really good things for your body,
meditate, take yourself to bed before midnight,
sleep for eight hours,
and sleep a deep sleep.
Don't have your phone bright vibrating on the bedside table
next to you,
that should be seven feet away from you
because of the EMF,
the electromagnetic frequencies.
Sleep deeply,
eat better, hydrate,
think better thoughts.
If you just do those three things for your body,
your body will do so many things back.
Your body is so forgiving,
your liver,
your arteries, will all forgive you for treating
your body badly,
when you start to treat it well.
And if you say,
"Well, you know, I don't even believe that stuff,
"surely your immune system is fixed,"
well, no, it's not fixed.
There were some studies many years ago,
where they gave people who were madly in love
a tiny dose of poison.
And it didn't affect them
because when you're in love,
you're going, "Oh, I love you.
"I love everything. You're so great,
"I just ring you a machine just to hear your voice,
"I look at your picture,
"you're the best thing ever."
When you hear those kind of words,
your immune system is massively boosted.
Praise, recognition, admiration,
self-praise will boost your immune system massively.
And then they gave a fraction of the poison
they gave to the lovers
to people who were sad,
and negative, and depressed,
and miserable, and pessimistic,
and they reacted to that poison immediately.
So many people say, "You know, I fell in love,
"and what the amazing thing, my irritable bowel went away,
"I stopped getting headaches,
"my eczema
"cleared up,
"came back later,
"but for the first six months it was gone."
And that's because when you're in love,
that beginning of being in love,
your immune system is boosted
by the great thoughts you think.
Orgasm boosts your immune system massively,
deep arrhythmic breathing boosts your immune system.
So, don't let anyone tell you
that your immune system is fixed,
and you don't have any power to change it.
You have massive, incredible, phenomenal power
to have a strong immune system.
Believe
that you can impact and influence your immune system,
and you certainly will.
Believe that, and then take some actions.
Eat the right foods,
take some supplements,
take B vitamins,
D vitamins that are really good for your lungs,
take zinc in the winter,
take Vitamin C.
Eat better, sleep better, hydrate better.
But, more than anything,
think better thoughts.
Because every thought you think
has a physical reaction,
and an emotional response.
What you expect
tends be realized,
these are rules of your mind.
Use those rules,
think better thoughts,
expect great health.
And you know what?
You'll very, very likely get just that.

influence your mind,
influence your body, and have amazing health,
