“Zinc is an essential nutrient that participates in many biological processes and plays critical roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, cell division, and brain health.”

“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.”

“In this Aliquot, we share a variety of segments from different interviews covering some of the unconventional effects of omega-3 fatty acids and how to overcome some of the roadblocks to obtaining these effects.”

“The immune system has strategies for filtering these autoimmune cells out of circulation; however, this filter can malfunction due to age, genetic predisposition, disruption of the gut barrier and gut microbiota, or other environmental exposures.”

“Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disorder that destroys myelin, the insulating layer that surrounds neurons. The causes of MS are complex and may arise from both genetic and environmental factors, including nutritional deficiencies.”

“Exercise is a huge driver of how well we age because it induces profound molecular shifts that support immune health and might even protect our telomeres – indicators of aging. Exercise might help forestall certain age-related diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, too.”

“While sanitation and clean drinking water are critical to survival, the over sterilization of our environment may play a role in modulating the human immune system. In this clip, Dr. Charles Raison highlights how ancient practices such as heat exposure, long-distance running, and fasting may promote well-being in the modern world.”

“Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs when the immune system generates non-functional antibodies that bind to a pathogen, intensifying inflammation and tissue damage without neutralizing the pathogen.”

“Antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE, is a phenomenon that occurs when low quality, low quantity, non-neutralizing antibodies bind to virus particles and, rather than neutralizing the virus, increase inflammation and tissue injury.”

“Activation of this important system of immunosurveillance is a predictor of the long-term efficacy of chemotherapy and may help to explain the complex relationship of autophagy with cancer, wherein the initial suppression of autophagy may help prevent attracting undue attention from the immune system, but may later facilitate ongoing transformation.”
