How to kill a virus, what is a virus, a virus is not necessarily alive it's necessarily fully dead it's a piece of genetic programming wrapped in a little sac and it can only be activated when it enters your cells and then once in the cell, it hijacks your machinery evading your immune system.
Something can kill the virus-like high heat you can kill it with soap you can kill it with
Alcohol bleaches hydrogen peroxide and all that stuff.
Inside your body let's say you have a virus infection things that can help reduce the viral reproduction and even kill viruses and even strengthen your immune system to kill it off you have very specific immune cells that target viruses one is called the cytotoxic.
T- cell another is called the t killer cell and then you also have a compound called interferon which basically interferes with the reproduction of viruses but a lot of the symptoms that you experience with a virus have to do with your own immune system
attacking the virus or trying to attack it and all the different collateral damage.
Various chemicals use hydrogen peroxide it uses other chemicals that then can affect your normal tissues especially if there's a hyper-immune reaction where the immune system is just like out of control and it's, it's destroying a lot of different tissues in your body so the first thing I want to talk about is some interesting research on the sun now the sun provides vitamin D.
Which directly inhibits viral reproduction and helps your immune system become very strong but the sun also has something else it has a certain spectrum of light.
the one that I want to focus on is near infrared . which is different than so near infrared light can actually travel through you’re your clothing okay if you have a hat on it can go right through your hat and it can penetrate your skull goes right into your tissues about one and a half to two inches and what it can do for your immune system is it can actually
help you generate melatonin, melatonin you would think is just only a sleep hormone but it's really not just an asleep hormone it's a very powerful antioxidant that works twice as strong as vitamin c so it can greatly help reduce the complications from a viral infection it can help to build up your immune system it can help you sleep better so your
resistance is a lot stronger and when we're talking about antioxidants thus this book right here you want to maximize your antioxidants to decrease the collateral damage from the virus and your own immune system as well as shorten the duration of this
infection.
The melatonin also enhances glutathione which is one of the most powerful antioxidants in your body primarily the liver so being out in the sun especially as summer is coming up is going to be very very important of course you don't want to get burned but you just want to be out there and even if you have a hat on and you have
clothes on that infrared will penetrate into your body all right now what about heat well viruses primarily like the cold this is why when it's cold and you run down you can get a
viral infection is a lot easier when the temperature becomes above 98.6 as in fever the body is attempting to cook this virus.
it'll actually inhibit the reproduction of viruses it can shorten the viral infection cycle so if you get a fever the worst thing you want to do right off the bat is trying to stop the fever with some type of medication because now the duration of that infection is going
to be longer you want that fever there because of the fact that the purpose of the fever is to heat up the body and slow down the reproduction of the virus so there are other things you can do as well to help yourself or enhance that situation you can wear a lot of clothes when you go to bed to get more warmth and sweat okay that's important you can take hot showers you can do a sauna a steam room all of these things will help limit the virus intensity, I
mean even certain plants create a fever if they get a fungal infection so this is an ancient survival tactic that our our bodies and other organisms have developed now the other thing I want to talk about is autophagy let's say for example you have an Epstein-Barr virus or human papillomavirus or a herpes
the virus that is inside your body and it comes out every time you experience stress how can you get rid of those viruses because they're in a dormant stage they're below the immune system radar and so they just wait and they wait until you get sick and tired and
old and then they come out and create an infection well one of the things that you can do is put your body in a state of autophagy and this has to do with um fasting okay
so when you do regular intermittent fasting you are cleaning up a lot of these microorganisms that are in your body okay so your body tends to recycle old damaged proteins as well as microorganisms pathogens so fasting is very very important especially periodic prolonged fasting where you're doing 72 to 48 hours here
and then because it will not only directly remove certain pathogens that are lying dormant in your body but it will also greatly strengthen your immune system in fact if you do regular periodic prolonged fasting you can basically create a new immune system you can actually repair a damaged immune system you can beef up your resistance against microorganisms so that's a very powerful weapon against these microorganisms now another thing you can consume as a food is a clove of garlic out of all of the foods and herbs out there garlic is number one for viruses hands down it's the winner in antiviral properties there's a lot of other ones that you can take but garlic is at the top of the list so consuming garlic on a regular basis is really important as well as if you start to feel run down and you know your immune system is weakened then start consuming garlic.
what I mean by rundown is I mean susceptibility when your body is in a weakened state
that's when the viruses can create an infection this is why people that have metabolic syndrome or they have insulin resistance or their diabetes or some other health problem are more susceptible to viruses because they have a weakened immune system
So metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance huge weakness chronic sleep problems insomnia because when you run down you usually have poor sleep if you have a good night's sleep your immune system is a lot stronger no what about stress well out of all the things I talked about stress is probably the most important as far as to
do whatever you can to minimize it because stress affects cortisol it raises cortisol the
cortisol is an immune suppressive hormone it removes the immune system temporarily because the focus is on other things like running away from the tiger so what happens when you experience stress is that you're wide open to having these viruses come in and do their work so I recently just talked to someone who had a really bad viral infection and I asked her i said what happened right before that she goes well it's not what happened right before that it's what I've been going through the last several years a divorce you can imagine that's chronic stress over a period of time just basically opened her up to allow the virus to invade the body to get the infection.
there are other things as well like vitamin deficiencies specifically vitamin d deficiency a zinc deficiency as well as a vitamin c deficiency all three of those will set you up for a weakened immune system so when we're trying to create a strategy to bulletproof ourselves you want to make sure you have those three nutrients there's a lot of other remedies you can take from oregano oil to colloidal silver which actually can kill viruses to using elderberry extract there's so many things that you can do to help yourself through infections but like I said before instead of trying to kill off a virus why don't we just strengthen our immune system.
