“Then they repeated the experiment, but they added remdesivir, an antiviral medication commonly used to treat COVID-19, to the sulforaphane and found that the compounds worked in a synergistic fashion to potently reduce viral replication.”

“For example, streptococcus bacterial infection, which causes strep throat, increases a person's risk for rheumatic fever, causing fatigue, joint pain, and a dangerous buildup of fluid around the heart. Similarly, human papilloma virus infection, a generally mild sexually transmitted disease, can increase a person's risk for certain types of cancer.”

“Findings published in a new report show that the majority of the antibodies found in people with obesity are autoimmune and not able to neutralize the SAR-CoV-2 virus, putting individuals with obesity at greater risk of severe COVID-19.”

“Some of these protective components have demonstrated the capacity to prevent the translocation of infectious pathogens across the gastrointestinal tract, kill or inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria (including Escherichia coli), and interfere with postpartum transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.”

“The stressed mice that received large doses of vitamin C in their diets exhibited fewer signs of stress as evidenced by lower levels of corticosteroid hormones as well as other physical manifestations, such as weight loss.”

“For example, growing up in an overly hygienic environment increases a child's risk for developing autoimmune diseases, but exposure to dirt, especially from soil, pets, and roaches, in the first year of life may provide protection against asthma and allergy-related skin disease.”

“They destroy virus-infected and malignant cells by triggering apoptosis – a type of cellular self-destruct mechanism that rids the body of damaged or aged cells. CD4 T-cells are considered "helper" cells in that they assist other cells in the immune response.”

“The most common symptoms of infection from SARS-CoV2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and indications of widespread respiratory system involvement. Recent evidence suggests that SARS-CoV2 can attack other organ systems, as well.”

“They posited that direct infection of cardiac tissue might be related to increased expression of angiotensin-converting enzymes-2 (ACE2) receptors in the heart. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, exploits ACE2 to gain entry into cells.”

“01:12:07 - How people averaging less than six hours of sleep at night are four times more likely to become ill after being exposed to the flu virus. Study. 01:16:27 - How poor sleep overall increases sickness rates, impairs glucose metabolism, and even decreases testosterone levels.”
