This hits home in a big way. I have a rare cancer that we treated with chemotherapy for 17 months with good results. My doctor and I decided to try immunotherapy. So six months into that, my blood sugar suddenly goes ballistic....635. Next thing I know, I'm in the ER and they are bringing my glucose level down in a safe manner. Two days in the hospital and they tell me that my amped-up immune system attacked my pancreas. So now, I have Type 1 diabetes and am insulin dependent.....and still have the cancer.

I wish we could get to the point where we’re allowed to listen to our bodies telling us to slow down and rest when we’re fighting off and infection, rather than pushing through because we must be productive at all costs.

@ReplyGPT

Жыл бұрын

You make a very valid point. In many societies, there is a culture of valuing productivity and pushing through illness or discomfort to meet obligations and responsibilities. However, listening to our bodies and taking the time to rest and recover when we are sick is important for our overall health and well-being. When we are fighting off an infection, our immune system is working hard to combat the invading pathogen. This can take a toll on our body, resulting in fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. Pushing through these symptoms and continuing to go to work or school can prolong the illness and make it more difficult to recover. Taking the time to rest and care for ourselves when we are sick can help us recover more quickly and prevent the spread of illness to others. It is important to prioritize our health and well-being, even if it means taking a break from our usual responsibilities for a short time. While it may be difficult to change societal attitudes towards productivity and illness, we can start by setting boundaries for ourselves and prioritizing our health. This can involve communicating our needs to others, taking sick days when necessary, and practicing self-care to promote healing and recovery.

Also, when you sleep, the body makes more cells that identifies what's a pathogen and what's not. That's part of the reason why you die if you don't sleep for a few days, because your body won't be fighting the pathogens in your body if no cell told the immune system that certain micro-organisms are hostile to the body.

The fact that 41.9% of adults in America are obese and they didn’t even clarify this in their video, only focusing on vaccines despite the covid vaccines being very controversial due to the shady nature of Phzier and the censorship of information on lobbying ect. and also 16.0% of female participants reporting LTAEs which were mainly fatigue, menstrual disturbances, myalgia, arthralgia, dizziness, and headaches, is just shocking and seems misinformative to be putting this out.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn Well, I mean, if the infection is not "defeated" enough you die. So if you were ill and you're not dead, your immune system kinda probably thwarted it. Although there are diseases like HIV that attack the immune system itself, so it may seem like the battle is over, but it was actually it was the immune system that was defeated and you will die soon anyway (unless you are properly treated with medicine). Some other infections (HIV again, but also herpes) may seem "defeated" but actually just became dormant and may resurface later on. Some of them are manageable, others - not so much. Also note that not all diseases are infectious ones, so the metaphor doesn't always work. Immune system cannot do much to a bullet (except fight off infections that got in with it). And whatever cancers immune system cannot clear early on will probably evolve enough to evade it entirely.

I literally just got to this part in the Immune Book. It’s really great companion to the video and I highly suggest you read it if you have it. It’s broken in sections that takes like 5 minutes tops. For example, I learned that Measles attacks your immune memory cells so you can actually LOSE your immunity to certain diseases. Which is why it’s so important that we vaccinate against it and eradicate it. I hope they do a video on that one day. EDIT: Apparently measles was covered 8 years ago!

Can confirm this! Outside of when I was a small kid, I've had severe diarrhoea (as in, several days of going to the toilet every 30 minutes) twice in my life. And both of those times were within three years after I got measles. (and I didn't even get them all that severely because I'd received my first measles vaccination a week or two before I was infected - and for those who are no doubt going to wonder, there were medical reasons why I didn't receive the measles vaccination as a kid, and the decision predated that fraud paper anyway)

I have lupus. Every time I get sick, like a simple cold takes 1 week for me to get better. I caught a cold once that turned into the flu which turned int pneumonia. I spent 4 days in the hospital as my lungs were completely filled with fluid. And I was even under a doctor's care at the time who refused to give me antibiotics. I have found that antibiotics help by increasing my immune system, or helping it along. In a way the pandemic was a bit of godsend. For 2 years I never got sick because I almost never went outside except for the supermarket. This last year I have gotten sick a couple of times, but I've had all my booster for Covid and the flu shot. The most I was sick was 2 days which I cannot remember ever happening. I wish, though, that I didn't have to live in a bubble. I wish people would take common sense precautions. If you're sick, stay home! I'm a tutor and cannot tell you how many times students show up sick. Sure I lose money if they don't come to class, but if I get sick my loses are even greater.

It would be very interesting to hae a video on what to do about your immune system when you have an autoimmune disease. There is a lot of research being done about these various ailments, but there isn't much in the way of actually effective, long-term treatments, let alone cures. And the impact of having an autoimmune disease on contracting and recovering from other kinds of diseases.

This was very informative. I think I need to take more care to avoid minor sickenesses like colds and diarrhea.

I wonder what all happened in my body on micro level when i was down by Covid and 80% of my lungs were affected. Worst 2.5 months of my life, but glad to be alive 😇

I'm living this now. I got pneumonia just over a year ago and was hospitalised. By the time they diagnosed it and got antibiotics in me, it had spread across half of my left lung. Before that I was relatively healthy, but ever since - even over a year later - I now struggle to breathe sometimes and any little cold makes it hard to get enough oxygen. I'm only in my late 20s but I'll probably have weakened lungs for the rest of my life now, all because I picked up a bug from the electrician who came to repair the light switch.

All resulted in hospitalizations for 5 days to 1 month. My pneumonia’s have been nasty lately and all of them required IV antibiotics. I also have autoimmune issues so I’m immunocompramised and also autoimmune. I think I pissed someone off in my past life. So many hospitalizations and multiple bronchs as well. My last pneumonia I had double septic pneumonia. A week in the hospital with a bronch. One week isn’t bad though. A month had me so depressed and I missed 3 Christmas holidays out of 6 due to being in the hospital. I feel your pain. I hope you are doing better now. I get IVIG every 4 weeks and my next one is Friday.

They do talk about climate change in the sponsorship part though, but that has nothing to do with the video itself (or at least I think it doesn't, I can't think of how a sponsorship about a totally different subject can affect the overall video and the things its trying to present).

I’ve been watching these guys for a while now but I find the fact that they didn’t even mention having a healthy lifestyle which has been proven to immensely boost your immune system and health in general, quite disappointing. Eating unprocessed, natural, healthy foods while getting regular excessive can decrease your chances of dying to illnesses drastically, I mean just by not being obese you are 40% less likely to contract covid when exposed to it. The fact that 41.9% of adults in America are obese and they didn’t even clarify this in their video, only focusing on vaccines despite the covid vaccines being very controversial due to the shady nature of Phzier and the censorship of information on lobbying ect. and also 16.0% of female participants reporting LTAEs which were mainly fatigue, menstrual disturbances, myalgia, arthralgia, dizziness, and headaches, is just shocking and seems misinformative to be putting this out.

Plus we will be offending all the fat people because fat people are just as healthy as people who don't have diabetes.

Really well explained with the “sick = wartime economy. Resources goes to making weapons so you must lie still so as to make sure the energy isn’t used anywhere else”.

This is ocean of knowledge. I already knew many things from your videos. 3 new things I learn. 1. How permanent scaring happen. 2. Why we can't eat while getting sick. 3. Why we get slim after falling sick.

Being a super responder isn’t necessarily a good thing. No disease ever managed to make my mom sick before cancer, but when her own cells turned against her it wound up becoming a curse. She developed an immunity to all the medication she was given over time, and once that happened there was nothing anyone could do. She was always like that, no disease never got to her and even Benadryl stopped working after a couple of uses. It used to be such a good thing for her… But it wasn’t in the end.

I love this channel.❤❤❤ Keep it up 👍
