Pathogens and the Immune System

Pathogens and the Immune System: Our Lack of Understanding Keeps Us Vulnerable to Attacks

In the battle between our immune system and pathogens, we should be winning. A healthy immune system is designed to protect us from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. It is our biological shield. It is a defense system meant to neutralize invaders before they can cause harm. But for whatever reason it is NOT something we are taught about. The analog would be to give you a vehicle with no owners manual and no way to understand what is important for fuel or maintenance. You likely would cause great harm to that vehicle until you figured out enough about it to cause it to function, and even past that you might still do great harm. A lack of knowledge and understanding leaves us VERY vulnerable to immune attacks.

So a very important discussion should be where is the owners manual and where in that owners manuals would it describe how to increase immune strength? Are there things that we do everyday which leave us vulnerable to attacks? Are these easy things to change?

Because of our lack of understanding about how to work our immune system, we are naked and afraid, leaving ourselves vulnerable to attack from all sides. Just like in a Star Trek battle, if you fly into enemy territory with your shields down, you will take damage. That’s exactly what’s happening to us. Our shields are down, and the pathogens are winning. But it doesn’t have to be that way…

A weakened immune system doesn’t happen overnight. Our modern lifestyle has slowly chipped away at our defenses, leaving us susceptible to infection. The key contributors to our weakness include dietary imbalances. In particular when we over consume processed sugars we are fueling pathogens instead of our defense system. Processed sugars suppress immune function and feed harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Overconsumption of omega-6 fats (from vegetable oils and processed foods) leads to chronic inflammation. Underconsumption of omega-3 fats (from fish, grass-fed meats, and seeds) reduces our ability to mount an anti-inflammatory response and weakens immune modulation. Chronic stress and lack of sleep also contribute and lead to cortisol type responses which suppress the immune system. Eating to frequently also leaves us weak. Eating is very consequential and when we eat major amounts of energy have to go to processing our foods rather than to the immune system. Further eating turns off two very important immune defense (autophaghy and P53) which protect us from cancers and other pathogens. Intermittent fasting is one of our main tools in fighting disease and boosting the immune system.

So what exactly is our immune system protecting us from? Pathogens are the enemies of our health. These invaders exploit our weaknesses, leading to chronic illness, immune dysfunction, and metabolic disruption. Let’s break down the major classes of pathogens and how they affect us.

-Parasites: These are silent immune suppressors. The symptoms these infections produce do not really give proper feedback to the presence of an infection. However, it is safe to assume that almost all of us have some manner of parasitic infection and we should also “deworm” along about the same schedule as we have for our animals. Helminths (worms) are among the most immune-evasive pathogens, manipulating our defenses to survive. The major types include: Hookworms which attach to the intestines and siphon nutrients, leading to anemia, fatigue, and gut inflammation; Roundworms which cause bloating, food sensitivities, and gut dysbiosis by altering microbiome balance; Pinworms which are small but highly contagious, often causing itching, restlessness, and sleep disturbances. Helminths, in order to avoid our immunes system, trigger a TH2 immune response, which reduces our ability to fight viral and bacterial infections. They also can secrete molecules that suppress inflammation, allowing them to remain undetected.

-Fungi: These guys like to infect the body and hide until the proper events occur when they can flourish. Mold and funguses will “light up” when they see each other and a fungal infection in the body will respond to fungal stimulus. One of the most common fungal overgrowths in the body is Candida. Candida is normally a harmless yeast, but when the immune system is weakened, it overgrows and causes systemic issues. Symptoms include brain fog, fatigue, sugar cravings, bloating, and fungal skin infections. Diets high in sugar and processed foods feed Candida, allowing it to thrive.

-Viruses: Viruses have evolved to stay inside us permanently, waiting for the immune system to weaken before they reactivate. The two biggest threats currently are Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) which causes chronic fatigue, immune dysfunction, and has been linked to autoimmune diseases. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) which often stays latent in the body but can weaken the immune system over time, making us vulnerable to other infections. Viruses evade our immune system by hijacking immune cells and by preventing the body from recognizing them. These viruses re-emerge under stress, poor diet, or sleep deprivation, leading to recurring illness.

Bacteria: Bacteria play a huge role in our overall health, but when the wrong ones overgrow, they can cause major health issues. The most pathogenic and harmful of these we see is H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori). H. pylori infects the stomach lining, leading to ulcers, acid reflux, bloating, and nutrient malabsorption. It suppresses stomach acid, allowing other harmful bacteria to thrive. Further Pylori can cause cancer and is co-morbid with many estrogen eating cancers.

-Gut Biome: This is normally where the “helpful” bacteria reside. During certain circumstances this guy biome can overgrow and overgrow with NON-HELPFUL bacteria. Clostridium species, including Clostridium difficile (C. diff), can overgrow in the gut, leading to chronic diarrhea, inflammation, and immune suppression. These overgrowths have also been linked DIRECTLY to obesity. Overuse of antibiotics kills beneficial bacteria, allowing Clostridium to take over.

As we find ourselves in a degraded immune state due to our lack of education and understand of the importance of the immune system as our shield against these attacks, what can we do to increase the strength or our immune system and thereby fight off these pathogens? How can we increase our “shield strength” and remove any of the damage we have taken on while our shields were down? Will the first order of business is to get rid of the pathogens. We suggest the following:

Get rid of the helminths - helminths infect all mammals and are almost impossible to prevent. We all need helminths action probably every six months at present. Our TrueMedX Deworm Tablets, which contain black walnut, neem, garlic, and clove, and will work together to eliminate worms and parasites. One bottle lasts for 14 days and provided you take 4 tablets at a time and everyday for that 15 days this is reported to provide the necessary cleansing needed to get rid of HELMINTHS.

Get rid of bacteria and fungus - the TrueMedX Gut Restore Tablets, which support gut healing and combat fungal and bacterial overgrowth (like Candida & H. pylori). This tablets should be taken for at least 20 days and take 2-3 tablets per day. This is usually enough to address a mild infection. People with Pylori will know they are still infected if they have gastric upset and burning.

Boost Immune Function - (Mitochondria, Omega-3s, and Vitality Support). TrueMedX Mito Tablets which contain CoQ10, PQQ, and other mitochondrial boosters that help fuel immune cells. TrueMedX O3 Tablets which provide essential omega-3 fatty acids to counterbalance inflammation and support immune modulation. TrueMedX Vitality Tablets which support energy production and immune resilience by supplying essential vitamins and adaptogens.

What else can you do to support your immune function and keep your shields up?

Intermittent Fasting (12-16 hours) to activate autophagy and clean out infected cells.

Eat a diet rich in Omega-3s (grass-fed meats, wild fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts).

Reduce processed sugar intake to starve Candida and pathogenic bacteria.

Optimize sleep (7-9 hours per night) for immune recovery.

Reduce stress with breathwork, meditation, or nature exposure to lower cortisol levels .

We don’t have to be naked and afraid against pathogens anymore. Our immune system is powerful, but only if we learn how to use it properly. By removing pathogens, supporting gut health, and fueling our immune system correctly, we can raise our shields and prevent unnecessary infections. Start your defense today with TrueMedX Deworm, Gut Restore, Mito, O3, and Vitality Tablets to eliminate infections and strengthen your immune system. It’s time to stop taking damage—let’s raise our shields and fight back!

Hello, everyone; welcome to another exciting version of the Chip Talks podcast. Today, we will talk about the cause of most diseases. In my mind, we're going to. If you ever have, let's say, gastric upset, burning, bloating, diarrhea often, or constipation, you've ever wondered how in the world you can get rid of this stuff. Or can I ever get rid of this stuff? You'll love this episode because we're going to talk about that kind of stuff. We're also. I would also point back to our previous episode on the immune system.

So, some of this will be a bit of a recap of the immune system because it's hard to talk about pathogens and how they infect you without talking about the immune system. So, we will talk briefly about the immune system in this episode. Some, but it won't be as much in detail as we did in previous episodes. What I want to do in this episode is give you guys some information about these pathogens that infect us. I also want to connect your mind to human diseases and these infections.

So now, in the medical system, we have a lot of words for things, don't we? We have many words that we call diseases, Crohn's, autoimmune diseases, diseases of the gut, and gut dysbiosis. Those are things that don't just happen, right? God does. God doesn't wake up one day and say, Chip, I will give you some gut dysbiosis. I think I'm going to whack out your gut, right? It doesn't work that way. It takes something. It takes an insult. Does it take something to cause that gut upset? It doesn't just happen. This is a very good, well-functioning machine. It rocks and rolls on its own. The fact that we've never been given an owner's manual is annoying. But our machine can rock roll in pretty good shape unless we get impacted by the environment or infection.

So, let's talk a little about these infections, bugs, and pathogens that can infect us. What do they do? Is this a really big secret here? Is this the cause of the disease? Is disease nothing more than just these infections?

Certainly, there's some disease that is caused by other stuff like lead plutonium and all that. But could the Majority of diseases, the majority of what's wrong with us, just be tied back to some bug infection? It's looking like the strong answer to that is yes. We certainly don't understand everything that we need to hear yet. This is just beginning to come into mainstream science. Most doctors physicians, they, they have an infectious disease class, but that's, oh, someone has traveled to a third world country, they took off their shoes, skipped through poo fields, rolled around in cow manure. Right. That's the background you're given on infectious diseases when you take that class. Right.

So, they're very rare. Sanitation issues usually cause them. Well, guess what, Doc? That was kind of true, but not true. The main source of infection is a pathogen. Let me walk you through what a pathogen is first in your body. Your body is very sophisticated and smart and has ways to identify things that are you and things that aren't you. It would have to defend you. Right?

If it couldn't identify things that aren't you, or if it thought everything was something coming to attack it, then it wouldn't be very effective. You would have autoimmune-type diseases if your body's attacking itself. There are reasons for this. Well, do a whole autoimmune thing before too long, but there are reasons for that. But again, your body's good at identifying, hey, this is me. I'm going to leave it alone. Or hey, this is something else; I will attack it. Generally, the things the body identifies as something it doesn't like or wants to attack are called pathogens. Some allergens and things like that could get in there. But most of the living things, let's just say, are called pathogens. Pathogens fall into four categories of stuff. Bacteria are things we're going to talk about in a second. H. Ah Pylori would be an example of a bacterium that infects us. We also have a gut biome, which arguably is an infection that potentially helps us a little.

But again, in what world are you designed to have fleas’ ticks all over you? I just don't buy the helpful biome or anything else. I'm not in that camp, but certainly, some people are in that camp feel like the gut biome and bacteria in the gut biome are helping them. I think that they're more a reaction to our horrible eating behaviors than anything else. They help us digest the food that we eat. That doesn't mean that we're eating the kind of food. That doesn't mean that we have the system there. But anyway, that's a divergence. Bacteria is the most basic kind of pathogen. The second type of pathogen, a bit more sophisticated than bacteria, is a virus. The types of viruses we see in people cause harm.

Again, people can get the COVID-19 virus, which can be harmful. You can get a flu virus. You can get a lot of different kinds of viruses. But they usually come and go, right? Viruses usually will come and go. And COVID isn't something. Well, we're seeing it in people now. It does have a long-term kind of leave-behind thing. But some of these viruses will, let's say, leave behind a latent version of themselves. The Epstein-Barr virus is one of these cytomegaloviruses. Covid seems to be one of these. But they'll leave behind a little piece of the virus, let's say. When your immune system weakens enough, these guys will light back up and have their way with you.

So viruses are the second type of thing that we need to talk about. There are also funguses, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. So, I skipped over funguses. But funguses are things like Candida molds, which would be in this category. Interestingly, getting a fungus or a mold causes a severe weakening of your immune system. Candida is the most obvious one, but it takes a weak immune system for this to happen. But the interesting thing that happens if you have, like, a, let's say, fungus, a lot of people have funguses that are associated, let's say, with COPD emphysema. that looks to be fungal, kind of at its core, certainly, smoking things like that exasperate that situation.

But at its core, COPD emphysema looks more fungal. What happens in a fungal infection, though, is interesting. If there's an outside source of the same fungus or something like the same fungus, it's all lit up excited. It will excite the fungus inside of you. It will cause that fungus inside of you to get all fired up and cause you problems.

This is why certain people have, let's say, mold sensitivity, which would be nothing more than being exposed to mold and having some of that mold in them. When mold sees mold, it sings and lights up, and that causes issues. Right? So, the last category of things is parasites. These guys are a little bit more involved; they're a little bit more alive.

So, is a bacteria alive? Yes, absolutely. But it's pretty simple, let's say, it's functioning. It's not that these guys can't be smart. H. Pylori is one of the smartest bugs I've ever seen, the hardest to kill. He's just a bacteria. But as you sort of go up, it's bacteria, funguses, viruses, parasites. These guys all get slightly more sophisticated as you climb the tree.

Those are the main categories of things that will infect you.

All right, those are the main categories of things that will infect you in those, let's say, four major categories. But let's talk a little bit about some of the things that. Again, we have an informational machine. It is not a diagnostic device. We see these things indicated. If I screw up somewhere in this video, say we saw this somebody, what I'm saying is we saw it indicated in that person with our nondiagnostic machine.

So that I may be very, very clear, but the cool thing is we've sent people down the road for blood tests, microbiome tests, and things like that. And we've been pretty, let's say, validated in the information we provide. But let's go through some of these guys because it's important to understand what you might have.

Chip says God built each of us pretty perfectly. What I mean by that is

So, the first kind of discussion is that God is a perfect engineer. What I mean by that is that God built each of us perfectly. Inside of you, we're just a big collection of cells.

So your heart is just an intelligent collection of cells that want to do heart stuff. Your brain is just an intelligent collection of cells that want to do brain stuff. We're just this big collection of cells. Well, any cell will, first of all, always try to heal itself. Then, if it can't heal itself, it'll just perfect itself. That guy can heal himself; he's off to the Races.

So you're a giant healing machine. Everything in you is built to heal. , Heal. Rebound, regrow, restore. We should be clicking along pretty perfectly in a tight little band, let's say, but pretty perfect most of the time. Well, none of us knew that, right? We all fail in a hundred different ways. First of all, we age. Again, what I'm seeing is that I'm sure we would age, but not at the rate that we age now.

So, off the bat, I'm seeing increased longevity in this scenario. But then we also die of heart attacks. We die of kidney failure. We die of liver failure. Well, God is a perfect engineer. Your heart just doesn't go bad. God just doesn't decide one day, Chip. I think your heart will go bad today; you will have a heart attack. It takes years, years, years of, let's say, strain, abuse, overwork, whatever, for you to have a heart attack. Are there extenuating circumstances here? Yes, certain things can immediately induce a heart attack. I'm just talking about the majority of people. It's the same thing with the kidneys again. The kidneys filter blood. That's their job. Well, if you're sick, guess what? Your blood gets thicker, your blood pressure increases, and you've got some gooey, grumpy blood. Guess what the kidneys do? They get tired; they start to give up. They're like, man, I think I'm tired. I think I'm going to give you type 2 diabetes today. Blah. I won't process fats in the way I should or filter the blood the way I should. Right. In the liver again, the liver, same thing that's processed fats.

So the liver gets tired, and he can give up. Again, in a normal function function. None of these things happen. All these organs are singing, rocking, rolling as they should. They like life. They're doing what they need to do. You're giving them the proper inputs; they're creating the proper outputs. Life is grand. But we haven't even begun to understand what that little symphony musical situation looks like yet. But we're beginning to.

What happens when you get infected by these worms? What are some possible symptoms are

Let's talk a bit about the possible symptoms when you get infected by these guys. Many of these will sound the same, but we'll try to make some nuance here. So, the two biggest categories of infections indicated in people is—Pylori, a straight bacteria. About 50%, half of the people that we have come through our clinic have H. Pylori. So, it's a pretty high statistic. The other major categories of infection we see in people are hook, crown, and pinworm, which are helmets.

We see these. Probably 85 to 90% of the people we see, and the additional 10 to 15% we don't see them in, have usually taken some action. They've taken ivermectin, done something to deworm, or were on a deworm cycle.

So if you're not, let's say, aware of your need to deworm, you haven't dewormed, you didn't take any ivermectin during COVID, you don't have any ivermectin at your house, you most likely have helmets, hook, round, and pinworms.

These are the same worms that our dogs get, our cows get, our pigs get, and our sheep get. You can address them the same way we do with those guys. So, ivermectin fenbendazole will work with these guys. We've got a product at TrueMedX which will work with these guys. But what do these guys do? So, if they infect you, what happens? Well, again, all these guys want to live off of you; they're trying to suck your nutrients, and most of them like iron.

So anything alive has to move electrons; these guys have to move electrons. And they need metals to do that; they like sequestering your iron. Some of them will suck your blood, but they all are involved with blood. All these guys will give you anemia.

This means you will have lower iron in your blood and less ability to oxygenate yourself if you're infected with these guys. That helps them, by the way, because you have less of an ability to marshal an immune defense against them. These guys can cause all kinds of problems. If you let them run again, they're going to cause constipation; they can cause diarrhea. They can cause enough pressure, let's say, on the system to thicken blood, to cause all kinds of immune issues, issues to affect kidneys, heart, liver, etc. They're pretty severe and can be pretty severe. Let me back up for just a second. ? Because this is super important.

So, a really strong immune system. If I just taught you from birth how to work your immune system, just gave you all the information that you needed all, let's say, the inputs that you needed to be able to work your immune system, it could still be possible that you would be infected, let's say by a hook, round, pinworm, or Helmuth was these guys are called. But it's unlikely. It's more likely that your immune system would beat these guys, or if you got infected with a little bit of an infection, you would mitigate that infection, beat them back, and eventually kill them. It's the same with everything we will talk about, except maybe H. Pylori.

So a strong immune system that will beat these guys back will be enough of a defense for you to, let's say, live in the future. However, we do not know enough about creating a strong immune system. I humbly said I'm the tip of the spear here. So, what I'm talking about to you guys now is unacceptable. It's known, but it's not accepted yet in science. So, doctors never think of third parties. They're not thinking of what you're infected with when they're trying to triage you or look at what's going on with you. But that needs to be part of everybody's thinking,? Because again, something beat your immune system. It's attached to you, it's living off of you, it's growing and thriving. Unless we do something about it, it will hurt our health. I think that's very obvious, right? You can't have little riders over you and not hurt your health.

But we're just beginning to learn how to build a strong immune system. We'll talk about that kind of at the end here of things that you can do to, we'll say, prevent some of this stuff. But for now, hook, round, pinworms beat us. Once they infect us, they continue to beat us. We will not beat them without some kind of intervention. Ivermectin, fenbendazole, black walnut seed hole, TrueMedX , deworm. These are good strategies for removing hook, round, and pinworms. If we stick to the same schedule our animals are on, we should do this about every six months.

So we should look at deworming ourselves about every six months because of hook, round, pinworm. Those are the most prevalent things that we see. So, let's say you're most likely to have a hook, round, pinworm infection. The second most prevalent thing we see is bacteria. , he's the bacteria. He's not quite as sophisticated as a hook, round, pinworm, but that doesn't mean he's not sophisticated, that doesn't mean he's not smart enough to beat you, does this guy might beat you on your own, I mean, even if you had a healthy immune system.

So he might be able to infect even the most healthy of us and beat us. But he is not a good bug. He camps out in the stomach, changes the acidity profile of the stomach, and digs into the tissue of the stomach. He is a cancer causer. He absolutely one hundred percent is responsible for stomach cancers. He's the likely cause of pancreatic cancers, colon cancers, and stomach esophageal are all associated with H. Pylori. He's also comorbid with breast cancer, estrogen, type estrogen-driven breast cancer, and any estrogen-driven cancer.

So this is not a guy that you want to have in you. This is not someone that you want to be infected with. The only good thing about H. Pylori is that he has a tell-tale that you can't tell if you're infected with hook, round, and pinworm. I mean, you might have constipation, you might have bloating, you might have some diarrhea, you might have some symptoms like that, but they may not be prevalent enough to where you kind of even notice or pay attention. We just sort of, oh, I ate some bread or some bad food for the bloating stuff. I mean, we tend to just kind of blow that off because it's common, but it shouldn't be common. But with Pylori, he has a tell.

So he will always burn. He burns; he burns when you eat. He's the cause of ulcers, gastric upset, and GERD; if you've ever been diagnosed with GERD, you've been diagnosed with Pylori—so bad bug, bad, bad, bad, bad bug. The pharma protocols to kill him are not great. I would say the pharma protocols for recognizing him are not great. If you have burning or gastric upset, you likely have pylori. You need to take action because he's beating you and will continue to beat you; you're putting yourself at cancer risk. It's pretty important stuff. But our Gut Restore products.

So, I spent two years building a product that would kill H. pylori. Our Gut Restore product is that; it appears to work well against H. Pylori.

All right, what else can happen to us? Well, funguses. What funguses do we see in people?

All right, what else can happen to us? Well, funguses. What funguses do we see in people? We see Candida, another kind of fungus. I said that I stutter sometimes, believe it or not, but I do. I used to be more of a stutterer than I am now. I've worked very hard on it. Hopefully, you guys don't notice it, but when I get excited, I sort of a little bit, and it comes out.

So funguses, if you have someone who knows someone or you've been diagnosed with COPD or emphysema, in many cases, we see that more as a fungus than we do. There is no, let's say, thing that is COPD or thing that is emphysema. Those are more descriptions of conditions, but we see at the core of those, let's say, a fungus called mucin. He's allegedly a deadly, deadly fungus. Nonetheless, we see him indicated with our little machine; he's potentially there. The other thing that we see a lot of in people is Candida. Candida really will show up more in a weakened immune system.

So, if you've been diagnosed with Candida, you're also being told that your immune system is pretty weak and can't fight off Candida. Believe it or not, our product for Pylori is also very good for Candida. It's our true medics Gut Restore product; it works very well for Candida.

The last thing I want to discuss is the gut biome.

. The last thing I want to discuss is the gut biome, the helpful commiserate gut biome. Yeah, sorry, I don't buy that. I just think we just don't know enough about diet yet. When we know enough about diet, what we should eat, how much of it we should eat, and exactly what our inputs are, we won't need a gut biome. You're designed to live on this planet; you should be able to ingest what we need without any helpers, without any help, needed bacteria to break things down.

So here's the other secret about the biome. It's made to seem like a mysterious secret, let's say, in science. We don't know why the mysterious gut biome is configured that way. It's just because. It just is. We don't know why this type of bacteria overgrows. It's just because. It is. Well, no, that's not true.

Again, if you guys have a chat, GPT, that's a great thing. Download that guy, validate, verify everything I'm gonna get ready to tell you. Because the gut biome is a response. You develop the type of bacteria you need if you eat red meat. Let's say you develop the type of bacteria that you need to digest red meat. If you eat a lot of carbohydrates, those are harder to digest. So, you must have many more types of bacteria to help you digest carbohydrates. Something like a bean is pretty hard to digest, right? You have chlorophyll issues and all kinds of stuff.

And you need. We need these helpful bacteria to help us break this stuff down and make it more digestible. Really, what are we after all that exercise? It's electrons, baby. We'll do a whole show about that because you are just a giant electrical machine. But what are you trying to get out of that food, believe it or not? What's a nutrient? Well, a nutrient is just an electron. You've got some other stuff like you use amino acids fat structurally, but again, you use electrons.

The microbiome's current purpose is to help us digest our food. If we want to change the configuration of our biome or diet, that will change the biome. However, several things in the biome can cause real problems. If any of these bacteria overgrow, they're in this delicate balance, but it's tenuous.

So, you have two major classes of bacteria in your gut. Firmeticus or firmicutes bacterioides. These guys are helping us digest food and, let's say, help us respond to our nutritional inputs. But if Firmicutes overgrow, you're going to be obese. They have a demand for more calories. They're going to say that you eat more calories. They will deem that you eat more calories than your tissues and fat systems can handle. You'll overload your fat system; you will become obese just from overgrowing firmicutes bacteria. Can this be changed? Yeah, we've got several products that will change it.

So, our TrueMedX fast product will change it. The OR is reported, let's say, to change it. The other things that will change it—this is being researched—are fiber fermenters. Again, if you're eating fermented food with fiber, that will reduce the overgrowth of firmicutes and bring you back more imbalance.

So the gut biome can get overgrown, can get whacked out, can cause, let's say, physical disease-type difficulties, all right, like metabolic syndrome. The other thing that can happen with the gut biome is the prevalence of antibiotics being taken many times back. Well, guess what antibiotics do? They kill bacteria; guess what type they kill: biome bacteria. They completely change the confirmation of the biome. There's an aggressive type of species called Clostridium; he has some bad strains, and those guys like to overgrow in this antibiotic situation. Difficult in particular. So, Clostridium difficol is a bad strain of bacteria that can cause all kinds of problems.

One of the major things that consumes energy in your body is running your immune system.

All right, I think we've touched on enough. There's certainly a way; there are a jillion types of pathogens, let's just say. But these are the main ones, the ones that we mainly see in people, the ones that we see hurting people, the ones that we kind of need to get rid of, just need to use, let's say, to help us better understand this whole system.

So, you work like a machine, all right? You're literally like the star, Star Trek, Enterprise. You have shields; let's call those shields, or let's use the shields as an analogy for your immune system. When you eat a meal, you have to drop your shields. Why? Because one of the major energy-consuming things in your body is running your immune system. The other major energy-consumption thing in your body is dealing with the nutrients you just ate. You kind of can't do both at once.

So when you eat, you drop a lot of function in your immune system, use that as a way to digest your food, to model fat, to strip apart triglycerides, to evaluate what's in fat, to decide if what you just ate is better than what's in fat. If so, you will move all that stuff through your liver and reconfigure all your triglycerides. So, it's a lot of work that your body goes through when you eat, leaving you in a weakened state. So, we preach intermittent fasting if you're sick. , a fast is a good way to reset your system and purge out a lot of stuff. But intermittent fasting is a way to keep our shields up first because our shields are up when we're in a fasted state. It also increases our shield strength; you don't.

The other thing here is behavior. So, the last thing we want to do is eat and be around other people. Isn't that exactly what we do socially all the time we eat? Oh, let's have Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's. Well, guess what? You just shared everything in the family with everybody, including any kind of pathogen. Because again, when we eat, we drop our immune system. Hopefully, your immune system will be strong enough to deal with whatever just got shared with you. But it may not be. It may worm its way in and cause you some sickness, right? Or it may cause a latent infection, which happens to many people. But number one, intermittent fast. , if we can.

Again, how hard is it to skip breakfast, wait till noon, and quit eating by 8 or 9 o'clock? That's not that hard for most of us. I'm not saying cut back on what you eat. Eat as much as you want and eat constantly for eight hours. That's not the point of this. The point is to work your immune system so it does not stay in that degraded-fed state for long. The second most important thing I could tell you is Omega 3 supplementation. So, the strength and veracity of our shields are directly related to omega three and omega 6. Balance consumption. We all overconsume omega six and don't eat any or hardly any omega 3. We need to change that. We need to bring that more equal. When we do, we have a balanced immune response that's way stronger, more robust, and more powerful.

If you're looking for a supplement, true medics, we have an Omega-3 supplement that's good. The other important things are vitamins, trace minerals, and how we defend ourselves. The stuff that, let's say, a cell needs to kind of rock roll defend itself are water-soluble B vitamins. A cell needs vitamin C, another water-soluble vitamin. If it gets wonky, it starts being infected or has a lot of oxidative stress or issues. These vitamins, Bs and Cs, aren't stored in your body.

So, every time you urinate, you're getting rid of B-C vitamins, right? We must be aware of this supplement with them or ensure they're in our food sources daily. All right?

What's wrong with most of us is some kind of infection.

The last little bit here is trace mineral fiber in a fermenter. Again, until we get this biome better figured out, the fiber in a fermenter is a good way to keep the biome under control. Trace minerals are looking to be very, very important in this situation. I'm in on a recent enlightenment about the importance of zinc selenium.

Guess what these pathogens like to do. They like to mess with your ability to absorb zinc selenium, which appears to be an important player in your immune response and how you defend yourself. , we'll leave it there for the most part. What's wrong with most of us is some kind of infection. These infections come from pathogens that fall into major categories, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites. I kind of throw the biome in the bacterial area. These guys appear to be the cause of most diseases. Again, you don't just die of a random heart attack. You likely had a 20-year hook round in pinworm infection that pulled your function down enough to have you have a heart attack.

So, we'll leave it there for this time. If you are in crisis or need help, have gastric upset burning, or anything we discussed, pick up the phone and call us. Go to the website and fill out a contact form. We do consults. Happy to talk to you. I would love to talk to you. Please fill it out. Let's do it anyway. No one needs to suffer from these, though. These are fixable. We can fix all these infections, not just with a true medical product. God built us a great system out there.

So, there are natural products that will address every one of these guys. That's all we've done: assemble them and put them in a package for you here. This is God's stuff. Even though we have it patented, I will still say it's God's stuff. Go to town. All right, we'll leave it there. We'll see you back next week for another exciting version of Chip Talks. See you later. Bye.
