But, the definition of serious that we’re focusing on here refers to looming danger or grave danger. Basically, you’re afraid.  The problem is that being in a state of fear can greatly affect your immune system. It can increase cortisol and adrenaline, making you more susceptible to disease.  It is vital, despite what’s happening in your environment, to try to maintain an attitude of ease (being less serious). There is no benefit of being overly serious about anything or being in a state of fear.  The more fear and

Today we’re going to talk about an interesting case study that was done by a Brazilian doctor working with a patient who had myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is where you have what they call autoantibodies that are against your own tissues. This particular autoimmune disease attacks the connection between your nerves and your muscles. This creates a lot of muscle problems.  One of the treatments commonly used for this condition is steroids. But, unfortunately, there are a lot of side effects when you take steroids.  This doctor used between 80,000 and 120,000 IUs of vitamin D3 and

It’s possible that the COVID-19 mortality rate may be slightly less than what they’ve been telling you.  Two recent studies focused on measuring antibodies to the virus. The purpose was to find out the true infection rate.  University of Southern California   • 863 people were tested  • 4.1% of the group had antibodies to the virus  Stanford University   • 3300 people were tested   • 2.4 - 4.2% of the group had antibodies to the virus  The infection rate was thought to be 7994 when in actuality, it was between 220,000 and 442,000. These are people that already had the infection, recove

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what vitamin D can do for the cytokine storm.  A cytokine storm is basically what’s really killing the majority of people who die from COVID-19. But, it’s only deadly if the person’s immune system is malfunctioning.  There is a really interesting study that compared the two countries with the highest mortality rates from COVID-19 to the countries with the lowest mortality rates from COVID-19. They looked at their vitamin D levels. They found a correlation between the higher mortality rates and low vitamin D. Not only that; they found a strong correlation between vitamin D and cytokine storm

In this podcast, I want to talk to you about the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, your thyroid, and your hair. Some people who go on an intermittent fasting and keto plan notice hair loss. Some people also feel cold and have an enlarged thyroid. There is a way to do keto correctly, so you don’t have hair loss and a thyroid problem.  Vitamin A activates thyroid receptors. The pituitary sends a hormone down to the thyroid that controls it. The hormone is called thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH. It changes the size of the thyroid and the production of hormones, like T4. Low levels of vitamin A can inhibit the thyroid receptors of TS

Studies on COVID-19 and temperature: Study: High temperature and high humidity could significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19. For every increase in 1 degree Celsius and increase in 1% humidity, there’s a decrease by R (the infection rate) by .0383 and .0224. Study: There are greater infections in the northern hemisphere versus the lower hemisphere. This may have to do with distance from the sun and how much vitamin D people are able to get.  Study: Showed an inverse relationship between humidity, temperature, and COVID

The truth is, everyone acquires some degree of damage in their brain as they age. This has to do with a lack of fuel in your neurons.  In one study, it was shown that the average person loses about 30% of their brain cells as they reach old age. This happens very gradually over time. The early signs of dementia can come on slowly—you might start forgetting where you put your keys or forget someone’s name.  When your neurons are starving of fuel, you will notice: • Loss of memory • Lack of clarity • Loss of focus and poor attention span This all comes

What we’re talking about is the sun, and what it can do to give you vitamin D. Of course, this is actually free, all you have to do is go out and get 20 minutes of sun.  Somalian immigrants make up a very small community in Stockholm, Sweden. They make up less than 1% of the entire population of Stockholm. Yet, in Stockholm, 40% of all of the COVID-19 deaths were from this small group.  What puts people at risk for COVID-19?:  • Pre-existing health problems (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, COPD, asthma) This gr

Today we’re going to talk about antibodies and how you can create your own immunity through your own antibodies.  You have this amazing and powerful internal defense mechanism, or immunity, that helps neutralize enemies. There are two parts of the immune system: The innate— You are born with this. It doesn’t need any training. It has a general defense mechanism for day to day activity. When things get too intense, they signal the acquired immune system to get help.  The acquired or adaptive— This is the back-up force. The acquired has very specific actions to help protect you. This part of the immune system is acquired or adapted o

Today we’re going to talk about autoimmune conditions and what causes autoimmune conditions?  An autoimmune condition is a situation where your body has created immune cells that are attacking itself.  This creates inflammation, and the inflammation creates a lot of collateral damage. It’s all of the free radicals that end up actually destroying the tissue.  The immune cells that are attacking itself are called autoantibodies. You can have these autoantibodies to pretty much any tissue in the body.  What autoimmune conditions boil down to is one cell called the Th17 cell becoming overactive. Excessive amounts of this cell

Today let’s talk about Saudi Arabia and vitamin D.  There was a meta-analysis between 2008 and 2015 that demonstrated that 63.5% of the population had a vitamin D deficiency. On top of that, 19.9% of the population had vitamin D insufficiency (a subclinical vitamin D deficiency). Together, this is 83.4% of the population that had a problem with vitamin D.  Saudi Arabia is also:  • 7th in the world for the rate of getting type 2 diabetes  • 4th in the world for the rate of getting type 1 diabetes 84% of the type of 1 diabetes cases in children showed a vitamin D deficiency. So, why is this such problem in Saudi Arabia? We

Today we’re going to talk about why you might have high blood sugar in the morning even though you’ve had zero sugar. You might even have your first meal and notice that your blood sugar levels actually go down. What’s up with that? Your liver is actually what’s making the sugar. The name for this is called gluconeogenesis. The liver is making new sugar out of protein, ketones, or fat.  Everyone has a little bit of this going on. To an extent, this is a normal reaction due to hormone fluctuations. To a very small degree, you’ll have blood sugar fluctuations throughout the night and throughout the day. But, when you have too much of this,

Now, it’s vital to do these things to help restore brain function and prevent more damage.  When you have a stroke, it causes something called hypoxia. This is a situation where you have low oxygen in the brain and damaged brain tissue. The brain needs a lot of oxygen. Although the brain only makes up 2% of body tissue, it uses 20% of your oxygen. What you need to do is focus on increasing oxygen in the brain. To restore oxygen to the brain after a stroke, do these 7 things:  1. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy - This forces pure oxygen into the body. I recommend doing this right aw

If you find that you’re still tired even after sleeping all night, this is called excessive daytime sleepiness.  When you go to bed, there are waves of hormones that occur. There are four 90 minute cycles, and when you go through these waves, there are different levels of sleep. The goal is to get into delta sleep, which is when you really recharge.  What prevents you from getting into the delta sleep wave, or makes you tired all the time? 1. Vitamin D deficiency  2. Not enough fermented foods 3. Not enough omega 3 fatty acids  4. EMF  5. Chronic infection Dr. Eri

The truth is, there’s something very good and very bad about black pepper. Let me explain.  The main phytonutrient in black pepper that benefits your health is called piperine.  Pepper can: • Relieve stomach aches • Improves dopamine and serotonin levels • Reduce inflammation • Provide vitamin K, iron, and magnesium • Improves bioavailability of some compounds (by up to 2000%) By far, the most amazing part of black pepper is its ability to increase the bioavailability of other compounds, including: • Curcumin • Selenium • B12 • B6 • Vitamin A The

Can you do the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting if you have a gallstone?   What is a gallstone made of?  There are several different types of gallstones, but the most common is the cholesterol gallstone.  The different types of gallstones contain several of the same ingredients, such as:  • Cholesterol   • Bilirubin   • Phosphates  • Calcium carbonate What causes gallstones? It’s mainly a combination of two things: 1. Too much cholesterol  2. Too little bile  The most important thing you need to know about gallston

In this podcast, we're going to talk about scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, and how these conditions relate to vitamin D.  Scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the back.  Kyphosis is more of a hunchback.  Lordosis is a condition where the person has a swayback.  When you look up the cause of scoliosis, it's very unclear. A study out of Hong Kong found that 30% of people with scoliosis have osteopenia. Osteopenia is the start of bone loss, which can be caused by a lack of calcium or (more likely) low vitamin D3. A few symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency:   • Scoliosis   • Kyphosis   • Lordosis

I've talked a lot about the adrenal gland and cortisol, but I want to touch on a condition called Addison's, which is an autoimmune condition.  By the time you notice Addison's complications, over 90% of your adrenal glands are destroyed. This means you're not able to produce enough cortisol and other hormones. Symptoms of this are: • Fatigue • Weakness • Weight loss • Can't sleep • Salt cravings • Low tolerance to stress Though cortisol helps the body respond to stress, it actually has over 200 other functions throughout the body. It helps regulate bloo

Apple cider vinegar does have carbohydrates. So, will apple cider vinegar break your fast? One tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (ACV) has .01g of carbohydrates. So it’s not really going to break the fast more than a nanosecond.  Balsamic vinegar has 3g of carbs, and rice vinegar has 6g of carbs. So, comparatively, these two types of vinegar both have a lot more carbs than apple cider vinegar. But, if you’re just using a small amount as a salad dressing, I think it’s going to be just fine.  What is vinegar? Vinegar is mainly acetic acid. Acetic acid come
