“Sickness and depression share several symptoms in common, such as hyperthermia (elevations in body temperature). Physiological changes that occur during an illness, such as fever and ramping up of the immune system, are designed to be protective against pathogens.”

“Exercise induces a variety of beneficial cytokines and other factors that support immune health. In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder describes how a robust immune system is critical to healthy aging and can be boosted by exercise.”

“While exercise usually supports health, extreme exercise can be detrimental to the immune system in some instances. Studies suggest that people performing moderate endurance exercise experience fewer respiratory illnesses, while athletes performing intense endurance exercise of longer than two hours have an increased risk of illness.”

“However, many people lack essential vitamins and minerals, which must be obtained from our diets since we cannot make them. Several vitamins and minerals play important and complementary roles in supporting both the innate and adaptive immune systems.”

“##Vitamin C as lung defense The innate immune system of the lungs is an integral component of the body's defense system, protecting the body against exposure to inhaled oxidants and pathogens. Vitamin C participates in this protective role by boosting immune cell function and reducing oxidative stress.”

“Acute activation of the immune system (from exercise or sauna use for example) can temporarily reduce inflammation and the depression that can come with it. The segments brought to you by this episode of The Aliquot feature professor of psychiatry Dr. Charles Raison.”

“Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines extend this strategy by encoding mutations found in an individual tumor and training the immune system to recognize them. In an early randomized melanoma trial, a personalized mRNA vaccine combined with checkpoint therapy produced promising recurrence-free survival results.”

“1 00:13:55 - Antibodies from Llamas Could Help in Fight Against COVID-19. 00:17:18 - Antibody-dependent enhancement is when the immune system creates antibodies that can cause a more severe reinfection instead of protection.”

“Scientists are investigating the effects that Wim Hof's breathing methods have on the immune system. Study results showed that individuals trained in his breathing practices produced adrenaline when injected with a bacterial endotoxin, potentially affecting the immune response.”

“Melatonin, a hormone produced in the pineal gland, regulates the wake-sleep cycle in humans. It is also produced by immune cells and plays a homeostatic role in regulating the immune system. A recent scientific publication proposed that melatonin could be useful in treating COVID-19.”
