Our creator God has built in a defense mechanism 00:00:01.98\00:00:04.22 called the Immune System is there to defend 00:00:04.67\00:00:07.29 virus, bacteria, fungi, and parasites on a daily 00:00:07.32\00:00:11.39 basis. And, today's program is entitled how 00:00:11.42\00:00:14.48 to build a strong immunity. 00:00:14.51\00:00:16.88 We will be right back. 00:00:17.21\00:00:18.58 Hi, welcome to Abundant Living. This is Curtis 00:00:49.00\00:00:51.52 Eakins. I'm glad you're with us today. I would 00:00:51.55\00:00:53.96 like to introduce my beautiful bride of 00:00:53.99\00:00:56.20 13 glorious wonderful years, Paula Eakins. 00:00:56.23\00:00:59.30 Hello. Hello, this is not as bird hello. 00:00:59.61\00:01:03.62 I like it. How you doing today baby. 00:01:04.46\00:01:07.23 I'm normally good and this is a good subject the 00:01:07.48\00:01:10.08 Immune System. The Immune System. 00:01:10.11\00:01:11.64 And, we're gonna be talking about this Immune 00:01:11.67\00:01:13.07 System for this program and also the next time we 00:01:13.10\00:01:15.68 meet as well. Now know in Huntsville, Alabama, 00:01:15.71\00:01:19.05 where we reside there is a brand new Clearview 00:01:23.12\00:01:24.49 Cancer Institute just been build and is there for 00:01:24.52\00:01:27.28 of course oncologists and those who are going 00:01:27.59\00:01:29.83 through cancer treatment, chemotherapy, 00:01:29.86\00:01:31.99 radiation, etc. And we had opportunity to be a part 00:01:32.02\00:01:35.90 of this Clearview Cancer Institute Education 00:01:35.93\00:01:39.34 Program. Umm! Umm! 00:01:39.37\00:01:41.44 And so lot of people are going through 00:01:41.47\00:01:43.66 chemotherapy of course at this place. And, lot of 00:01:43.69\00:01:46.47 nurses are asking questions about how can I help 00:01:46.50\00:01:50.03 the patients, who are going through 00:01:50.26\00:01:51.63 chemotherapy, the side effects and that kind of 00:01:51.68\00:01:54.43 thing. How to boost up their white blood cells? 00:01:54.46\00:01:57.27 Umm! Umm! And so this program 00:01:57.30\00:01:58.90 is gonna be entitled how to build a strong 00:01:58.93\00:02:01.14 immunity. And so we're gonna talk about some of 00:02:01.17\00:02:03.48 the things that we're gonna talk about to the 00:02:03.51\00:02:05.25 nurses there over the next. It's next month 00:02:05.28\00:02:08.52 I guess in October, this is 2007, so I'm dating 00:02:08.55\00:02:11.47 this program. So, how to build a strong immunity 00:02:11.50\00:02:14.49 and we're going to zero in on possibly cancer. 00:02:14.93\00:02:19.19 As far as protecting our cells from cancer. 00:02:19.70\00:02:21.61 How to reduce the risk and also those who made 00:02:21.64\00:02:24.94 be a cancer survivor, how to reduce the risk of 00:02:25.22\00:02:28.09 that cancer coming back and even those who are 00:02:28.12\00:02:30.39 going through chemotherapy. 00:02:30.42\00:02:31.79 Umm! Umm! So, this will gonna be 00:02:31.82\00:02:33.19 a Power Pack Program for a next 20 minutes or 00:02:33.22\00:02:35.26 so. We think about the Immune System. 00:02:35.29\00:02:37.64 Umm! Umm! Then you talk about 00:02:38.07\00:02:39.44 evidently some key players. So what, 00:02:39.47\00:02:42.21 who are the key players when we talk about the 00:02:42.71\00:02:44.59 defend system as it relates to the Immune 00:02:44.62\00:02:47.32 System itself. Okay, there is an 00:02:47.35\00:02:49.68 acronym for speakers. I've used this before an 00:02:49.71\00:02:53.23 acronym that some speaker use is KISS. 00:02:53.26\00:02:56.92 Umm! Umm! Now, you know 00:02:56.95\00:02:58.32 what that stands for right honey or you want 00:02:58.35\00:03:00.19 me to say it anyway. You can say it. 00:03:00.22\00:03:02.29 Oh! I can say it, but you know where it is. 00:03:02.36\00:03:03.93 Yes I do. Okay, what is it baby? 00:03:03.96\00:03:05.76 Keep it simple smarty. Okay, good. 00:03:06.12\00:03:09.30 I'm not gonna say smarty, it's actually keep it 00:03:09.66\00:03:11.69 simple stupid. But we chase it less as to keep 00:03:11.72\00:03:13.96 it simple smarty. And this Immune System can be 00:03:13.99\00:03:16.78 complicated, but we're gonna keep it simple KISS 00:03:16.81\00:03:20.18 smarty and so there are some key players as far 00:03:20.76\00:03:23.84 as this defense team is concerned and I want to 00:03:23.87\00:03:27.41 introduce two recruits. Okay. 00:03:27.44\00:03:30.13 On this draft that keeps our bodies in the defense 00:03:30.16\00:03:33.01 can word off any viruses, 00:03:33.04\00:03:34.41 bacteria, fungi, parasites and also cancer cells 00:03:36.68\00:03:40.32 included. Now, the first recruit I want to 00:03:40.35\00:03:42.59 is the B team. Okay. 00:03:43.56\00:03:45.75 Now, in the bone marrow manufactures the B cell. 00:03:46.46\00:03:50.33 So, we get the word B cells. B for bone marrow. 00:03:50.65\00:03:53.42 Umm! Umm! Thus one adult recruits 00:03:53.45\00:03:55.08 for to build in up a strong immunity to keep 00:03:55.11\00:03:58.05 the B cells intact, keep the numbers high, 00:03:58.28\00:04:01.55 the bone marrow. And you have another gland 00:04:02.11\00:04:04.58 that also a very prevalent as far as the Immune 00:04:04.98\00:04:07.88 System is concerned that gland is called the 00:04:07.91\00:04:10.43 thymus gland. And the thymus gland stimulates 00:04:10.46\00:04:13.76 and manufactures the T cells, several T cells, 00:04:13.94\00:04:17.89 T for thymus of course. You have the T cells; 00:04:18.19\00:04:21.41 you have the helper T cells. Sometimes known as 00:04:21.44\00:04:25.42 CD4 and you have the natural killer cells. 00:04:25.89\00:04:30.80 All those are different types of T cells. 00:04:31.09\00:04:32.86 So, you have the B team, the B cells and then you 00:04:32.89\00:04:35.46 have the T cells as well and those are the two 00:04:35.49\00:04:38.09 things that we're going to emphasize within the 00:04:38.12\00:04:40.59 next few minutes. How to build a strong 00:04:40.62\00:04:43.01 immunity. The bone marrow manufactures the B 00:04:43.38\00:04:45.95 cells and then the thymus manufactures the T cells. 00:04:45.98\00:04:49.83 Okay, we got the Bs, we got the T. 00:04:50.22\00:04:51.85 The Bs and Ts. I'm not gonna talk about. 00:04:52.08\00:04:53.72 Okay. The other thing, 00:04:53.75\00:04:55.12 but just the Bs and the Ts. 00:04:55.15\00:04:56.52 Okay, I guess my question would be then to you. 00:04:56.55\00:04:58.18 What about nutrition. How nutrition play a 00:04:58.28\00:05:00.73 part in this and does it help to strengthen the 00:05:00.76\00:05:02.52 Immune System? It must surely does 00:05:02.55\00:05:04.61 honey. The nutrition plays a very vital role. 00:05:04.64\00:05:08.38 Umm! Umm! In strengthening our 00:05:08.41\00:05:09.78 Immune System. Now, first of all this was 00:05:09.88\00:05:13.34 reported in the American Institute of 00:05:13.37\00:05:15.04 Cancer Research, Steven Barnes one of most 00:05:15.07\00:05:18.71 prolific soil researchers. We believe in entire 00:05:18.93\00:05:22.86 world he is the professor there at the University 00:05:22.89\00:05:24.96 of Alabama in Birmingham. At the International 00:05:24.99\00:05:27.48 Soy Symposium mentions that first of all, 00:05:27.51\00:05:30.57 the white blood cells has a compound that similar 00:05:31.25\00:05:35.82 to bleach. Umm! Umm! 00:05:35.90\00:05:37.40 It's called hypochloric and it spews out a poison 00:05:37.43\00:05:40.81 that kills germs, bacteria, and parasites, 00:05:40.84\00:05:43.94 alright. Now, the genistein, which is a 00:05:43.97\00:05:47.02 compound in soy. Umm! 00:05:47.31\00:05:49.50 Helps to react with the white blood cells. 00:05:49.86\00:05:53.00 Therefore, soy or the soy bean also impacts the 00:05:53.57\00:05:57.89 Immune System in a positive way. This is very 00:05:57.92\00:06:01.44 profound in this clinical research and it was also 00:06:01.47\00:06:04.63 published in this International Soy 00:06:04.66\00:06:06.51 Symposium. So, soy is one of those beans that is 00:06:06.54\00:06:10.37 very powerful to also enhance our immunity. 00:06:10.41\00:06:14.53 Now, having said that one thing we need to also 00:06:14.83\00:06:17.02 understands too. There are certain 00:06:17.05\00:06:19.69 minerals and vitamins that also would stimulate 00:06:19.97\00:06:21.78 the Immune System. One in particular is 00:06:21.81\00:06:25.13 vitamin A. Umm! Umm! 00:06:26.59\00:06:27.96 When the vitamin A is in a system, it stimulates 00:06:27.99\00:06:29.75 and strengthens our immunity. Now, have been 00:06:29.78\00:06:33.53 said that there are lot of foods that contain 00:06:33.56\00:06:36.28 vitamin A. All your fruits and vegetables, 00:06:36.31\00:06:39.64 a lot of them contain vitamin A. 00:06:39.67\00:06:41.59 Right. But this one group in particular has a high 00:06:41.62\00:06:45.65 content of vitamin A, which are known as the 00:06:45.68\00:06:49.94 carotenes or carotenoids. And what are some of 00:06:49.97\00:06:53.02 those foods honey? The carotenes or carotenoids. 00:06:53.05\00:06:55.73 Now, you're talking about the orange and the 00:06:55.88\00:06:57.83 yellows and the reds, the carrots, tomatoes, 00:06:57.86\00:07:01.20 the squash. Okay. 00:07:01.23\00:07:02.82 All your yellow, orange all even some of your 00:07:02.85\00:07:05.61 greens. Umm! Umm! 00:07:05.64\00:07:07.01 Because it camouflaged. By the chlorophyll. 00:07:07.04\00:07:08.50 That's right. Umm! Umm! 00:07:08.53\00:07:09.90 But these are the foods that are actually 00:07:09.93\00:07:11.30 excellent for building the Immune System and 00:07:11.33\00:07:12.70 high in vitamin A. Excellent, now have you 00:07:12.73\00:07:14.91 said that. Umm! 00:07:14.94\00:07:16.31 All that group, there is one food head and 00:07:16.47\00:07:20.68 shoulders above all other foods that has the 00:07:20.71\00:07:23.10 highest content a pro-vitamin A is the 00:07:23.13\00:07:27.83 carrot. That's right. 00:07:27.86\00:07:29.23 Which is the reason why they got the name 00:07:29.26\00:07:30.63 carotenoids. Umm! 00:07:30.66\00:07:32.24 Okay, that's a kind of clue there. And, so when 00:07:32.27\00:07:34.93 and this is very important because when 00:07:34.96\00:07:37.82 we juice the carrot then we get more vitamin A. 00:07:37.85\00:07:42.13 Now, this vitamin A, this is also been published in 00:07:42.81\00:07:46.10 many medical journals that when vitamin A is 00:07:46.17\00:07:48.24 increased into the system it increases the killer 00:07:48.27\00:07:52.84 cells T cells and natural killer cells by 30 00:07:52.87\00:07:57.28 percent. Vitamin A, we get from carrot also with 00:07:57.31\00:08:00.78 other foods as well. And, so therefore it's very 00:08:00.81\00:08:03.62 important to take in lot of these foods and the 00:08:03.65\00:08:06.74 richer the color of the food, the more vitamin A 00:08:06.91\00:08:09.58 the person gets into their system. 00:08:09.61\00:08:11.85 Umm! But again carrot is ahead of those while 00:08:11.88\00:08:14.90 others foods as far as vitamin A content is 00:08:14.93\00:08:16.71 concerned. Umm! Umm! So, juice in that is good 00:08:16.74\00:08:19.21 to build the immunity and this is very important 00:08:19.24\00:08:21.36 because there maybe individuals, 00:08:21.56\00:08:23.14 who are watching this today. 00:08:23.17\00:08:24.54 Umm! Who maybe going through chemotherapy 00:08:24.57\00:08:27.31 and this is very important because the vitamin A 00:08:28.02\00:08:30.99 from the carrot and other foods as well. 00:08:31.02\00:08:32.81 They also impact the epithelial cells in the 00:08:33.28\00:08:36.81 mucousal lining of the digestive system and 00:08:36.84\00:08:40.01 since chemotherapy attacks those cells in the mucousal 00:08:40.04\00:08:44.27 the lining of the GI tract, gastrointestinal tract. 00:08:44.30\00:08:47.11 Umm! You have upset stomachs and vomiting, 00:08:47.14\00:08:49.54 diarrhea with the carrot particularly with the 00:08:52.80\00:08:54.17 juice as well, it helps to form a protector barrier thereby 00:08:54.20\00:08:58.85 those who are going through that treatment. 00:08:58.88\00:09:00.86 Therefore, they have less side effects while going 00:09:01.62\00:09:04.55 through chemotherapy and also radiation as 00:09:04.58\00:09:06.69 well. We know someone who went through 00:09:06.72\00:09:08.48 chemotherapy at John Hopkins. 00:09:08.51\00:09:09.90 That's right. And, they drink a lot 00:09:11.01\00:09:12.38 of carrot juice during that treatment protocol. 00:09:12.41\00:09:14.07 Umm! Umm! And they were just 00:09:14.10\00:09:15.47 really amazed how they just readily flew through 00:09:15.50\00:09:17.94 there for the last six months of that treatment 00:09:17.97\00:09:20.44 as well. So, that's very good for building the 00:09:20.80\00:09:23.31 strong immunity particularly for those 00:09:23.34\00:09:25.01 who are going through chemotherapy. 00:09:25.04\00:09:26.41 So, nutrition is very, very key. 00:09:26.44\00:09:27.81 It's excellent. The carotenoids is 00:09:27.84\00:09:29.48 number one, when it comes to the food, 00:09:29.88\00:09:31.25 we should be consuming. Right, yeah. 00:09:31.28\00:09:32.65 Fruits and vegetables in general, 00:09:32.68\00:09:34.05 but carotenoids in particular. 00:09:34.08\00:09:35.54 Okay. Umm! Umm! 00:09:35.76\00:09:37.13 Okay, okay, now of course we just got 00:09:37.16\00:09:38.53 finished talking about those who were going 00:09:38.56\00:09:40.13 through chemoradiation. Okay. 00:09:40.16\00:09:41.53 Or any other kind of disease for that matter. 00:09:41.56\00:09:43.48 Umm! Umm! What about rest? 00:09:43.51\00:09:44.88 I mean how important is rest when it comes to 00:09:45.30\00:09:48.72 building Immune System. Yeah, now rest is very 00:09:49.09\00:09:52.57 critical. We want to strengthen the immunity. 00:09:52.60\00:09:56.15 Again, when we rest it helps to replenish the 00:09:56.85\00:10:01.24 white blood cells, the lymphocytes, alright. 00:10:01.27\00:10:03.69 To restore them when we're resting. 00:10:04.04\00:10:06.21 This does not happen while we are awake. 00:10:07.06\00:10:10.02 Umm! So, therefore we need proper rest to 00:10:10.05\00:10:14.34 fortify and to strengthen our immunity. 00:10:14.37\00:10:17.70 Now, we've a graphic. Before go through this 00:10:18.19\00:10:19.64 graphic let me first talk about the author. 00:10:19.67\00:10:22.08 We mentioned this author before, she is the most 00:10:22.94\00:10:25.51 prolific translator in United States also second 00:10:27.58\00:10:32.05 in the world. And she has written many volumes 00:10:32.08\00:10:35.18 on health. Umm! Umm! 00:10:35.33\00:10:36.70 And this author says something that's very 00:10:36.73\00:10:39.07 profound as far as strengthening the 00:10:39.37\00:10:42.71 immunity. Let's go to our graphic. 00:10:42.74\00:10:45.06 This is very profound, here it is. After Ten O' 00:10:45.39\00:10:47.86 clock. "Two Hours of good sleep before midnight 00:10:47.89\00:10:55.64 is worth more than four hours of good sleep after 00:10:56.62\00:11:02.10 midnight." Umm! Very profound. Umm! Umm! 00:11:02.13\00:11:06.10 Very profound, let me in depth tell on that. 00:11:06.36\00:11:08.68 Now, again what that saying is, simply this. 00:11:08.98\00:11:12.31 Not only sleep is very important, but when 00:11:13.74\00:11:17.31 we sleep is critical for you see, sleeping between 00:11:17.59\00:11:21.68 10 and 12 midnight Umm! Umm! 00:11:22.05\00:11:24.37 Is actually more beneficial based on that 00:11:24.51\00:11:26.40 statement. They sleep from 12 o' clock midnight 00:11:26.43\00:11:30.00 to 4 o' clock in the morning. So, therefore 00:11:30.66\00:11:33.25 the clock period about building a strong 00:11:33.28\00:11:35.81 immunity is not going to be at past 10 o' clock. 00:11:35.84\00:11:41.22 The further we go to bed after 10 o' clock then 00:11:42.28\00:11:44.82 we are weakening our immunity. So, again we 00:11:44.85\00:11:46.51 want to get in bed no later then 10 o' clock, 00:11:46.54\00:11:49.08 therefore immunity is strong and is fortified 00:11:49.42\00:11:52.34 for any disease, cancer is included. 00:11:52.79\00:11:55.70 Now, this thing about going to bed before 00:11:56.69\00:11:58.31 10 o' clock. When America stays away past that 00:11:58.34\00:12:01.93 time. Oh! My goodness. 00:12:01.96\00:12:03.33 Is really something, but it's important because 00:12:03.36\00:12:05.57 their immunity has been built in between that 00:12:05.60\00:12:07.74 timeframe. Right, yeah. So, that's key. 00:12:07.77\00:12:09.48 Yeah, it's very critical because lot of people 00:12:09.66\00:12:11.67 they stay up late. Yeah. 00:12:11.70\00:12:13.07 And, so when we talk about next program how to 00:12:13.32\00:12:15.89 weaken the immunity. So, we're gonna keep that 00:12:15.92\00:12:17.77 for our next program, but again the sooner we 00:12:17.80\00:12:20.11 go to bed and you can go to bed at night. 00:12:20.14\00:12:21.87 I mean, you don't have to wait until 9:59 to 00:12:21.90\00:12:23.95 jump in bed. I mean you can go to bed at 9 00:12:23.98\00:12:25.80 and 9:30 is fine. Yeah. 00:12:25.83\00:12:27.30 The earlier the better. Okay. 00:12:27.46\00:12:28.83 Right, so again getting that proper rest and let 00:12:28.86\00:12:31.53 me say this to when we go to bed, dovetail 00:12:31.56\00:12:35.14 this, we should also have the window open. 00:12:35.17\00:12:37.99 Particularly in the winter time, when there 00:12:38.37\00:12:39.74 is fresh air coming in. And the window should 00:12:39.77\00:12:41.74 be at the foot of the bed, where the side of the 00:12:41.77\00:12:43.78 bed, it shouldn't be at the head of the bed 00:12:43.81\00:12:45.48 otherwise we have a direct draft. 00:12:45.78\00:12:47.39 Umm! Umm! And we will get a 00:12:47.42\00:12:48.79 cold, so the fresh air coming in just a little 00:12:48.82\00:12:51.54 bit. You don't need the whole lot, it also helps 00:12:51.57\00:12:54.40 has a sound refreshing sleep for those want to 00:12:54.72\00:12:57.95 build a strong immunity. 00:12:57.98\00:12:59.35 Okay, we got to go to bed early, 00:13:00.64\00:13:02.01 but now you know, also I know another part of 00:13:02.04\00:13:03.93 that Immune System being build up is also 00:13:03.96\00:13:05.65 exercise. So, how important is exercise? 00:13:05.68\00:13:08.51 Okay, now again let me a little bit anatomy 00:13:08.88\00:13:12.02 physiology, okay. We have the blood system, 00:13:12.15\00:13:15.71 the venous system, alright where the blood flows, 00:13:15.74\00:13:18.10 okay. Umm! 00:13:18.13\00:13:19.50 And, that circulates throughout our body by a 00:13:19.53\00:13:23.01 pump known as the heart muscle. 00:13:23.37\00:13:25.31 Umm! Umm! So, every time the 00:13:25.34\00:13:26.71 heart pumps the blood flows through our 00:13:26.74\00:13:29.92 vessels. Now, the white blood cells our Immune 00:13:30.36\00:13:34.23 System the cells, it's possible for immunity. 00:13:34.26\00:13:36.85 It flows through what we call a lymphatic 00:13:37.55\00:13:40.05 system that runs parallel with the blood vessels. 00:13:40.58\00:13:44.22 Okay. Now, the lymphatic system does not 00:13:44.25\00:13:48.42 not have a pump at all. Umm! Umm! 00:13:48.45\00:13:50.96 So how does it move? How does it circulate? 00:13:51.14\00:13:53.15 Exercise particularly walking, when we walk 00:13:54.58\00:13:58.84 our muscles are contracted. 00:13:59.11\00:14:00.64 Umm! Umm! Therefore, it makes an 00:14:00.67\00:14:02.53 artificial pump and moves our immune cells 00:14:02.80\00:14:06.28 through the lymphatic system, which is four 00:14:06.54\00:14:08.68 times larger than our blood vessels that's how 00:14:08.71\00:14:11.79 we have the strong immunity by walking. 00:14:11.95\00:14:14.83 Brisk walking preferably in outdoors and this is 00:14:15.36\00:14:18.36 what you do, this what we both do on a daily 00:14:18.39\00:14:20.86 basis. Yeah. 00:14:20.89\00:14:22.26 So, walking or physical activity preferably in 00:14:22.29\00:14:24.74 outdoors helps to build a strong immunity by 00:14:24.77\00:14:28.24 circulating those immune cells through our 00:14:28.27\00:14:31.03 lymphatic system, which doesn't have a pump at 00:14:31.23\00:14:33.42 all. Umm! Umm! 00:14:33.45\00:14:34.82 So, it's left up to us to move that immune cells 00:14:34.85\00:14:38.19 through the lymphatic system. 00:14:38.22\00:14:39.59 Well, I know the people talk about also when 00:14:40.23\00:14:42.05 you're talking about the, the Immune System, 00:14:42.08\00:14:44.76 about Herbal medicine. Umm! Umm! 00:14:45.25\00:14:46.62 And using different kind of herbs can... 00:14:46.80\00:14:48.73 can herbs actually build or help to build or 00:14:48.76\00:14:51.42 maintain the Immune System. 00:14:51.51\00:14:53.29 Yes, most assuredly it does, many clinical 00:14:54.00\00:14:56.50 studies on herbal medicine, if I had to 00:14:56.53\00:15:00.20 pick one. Head and shoulders above all 00:15:00.23\00:15:03.97 others in dealing with more less in 00:15:04.00\00:15:07.75 relationship to oncology or cancer. 00:15:07.78\00:15:09.92 Umm! Umm! One is head and 00:15:10.21\00:15:12.29 shoulders above all other herbs in the herbal 00:15:12.45\00:15:15.02 kingdom. Now, that's been a lot because there 00:15:15.05\00:15:16.73 are thousands of herbs out there. 00:15:16.76\00:15:18.71 Yes, yes. And being an herbalist, 00:15:18.74\00:15:20.11 I can think of many herbs out there. 00:15:20.14\00:15:21.91 And some of you maybe thinking Echinacea. 00:15:22.34\00:15:25.15 Umm! Now, that's a good herb it builds the 00:15:25.18\00:15:27.02 immunity. There is one more better than that. 00:15:27.05\00:15:30.13 Umm! A lot better than that, that's been more 00:15:30.69\00:15:32.64 research thoroughly then echinacea as far as 00:15:32.67\00:15:34.92 oncology is concerned that herb is called 00:15:35.15\00:15:37.77 Astragalus. It's a Chinese herb and there 00:15:38.20\00:15:41.56 has been numerous clinical studies 00:15:41.59\00:15:42.96 immunopharmacology, a medical journal. 00:15:43.40\00:15:45.45 Journal of the alternative and complementary 00:15:46.21\00:15:48.67 medicine has many studies on. This herb 00:15:48.82\00:15:51.65 here Astragalus, where Chinese doctors has been 00:15:51.68\00:15:54.36 using this herb for over 2000 years and with the 00:15:54.39\00:15:57.43 patients in oncology. It does several things. 00:15:57.46\00:16:00.07 Number one, Astragalus will stimulate the bone 00:16:00.10\00:16:03.41 marrow to produce new white blood cells. 00:16:03.44\00:16:08.49 Umm! And also it would stimulate the spleen 00:16:08.52\00:16:11.61 that's responsible for the T cells. Number two, 00:16:12.14\00:16:14.91 Astragalus will also get this now; it will increase 00:16:14.94\00:16:19.97 the natural killer cells. Now, these bad boys don't 00:16:20.47\00:16:24.82 play. Yes, that's right, that's right. 00:16:24.85\00:16:26.22 Natural killer cells are like our bodies 00:16:26.25\00:16:28.49 bodyguards with the killer instinct. 00:16:28.52\00:16:30.90 Umm! And, it spews out a poison that attacks 00:16:30.93\00:16:34.81 cancer cells. And Astragalus has been 00:16:34.84\00:16:37.50 known to restore the Immune System from a 00:16:37.53\00:16:41.65 person, who may be going through chemotherapy. 00:16:41.68\00:16:44.09 And, also it boosts the immunity and also 00:16:44.65\00:16:47.04 antibodies as well. So, Astragalus is a very 00:16:47.88\00:16:50.13 powerful, a lot of Chinese doctors over there. 00:16:50.16\00:16:52.66 They do suggest Astragalus along with 00:16:53.46\00:16:55.97 other herbs to their patients over there in 00:16:56.00\00:16:59.08 and the over here. So, Astragalus is very 00:16:59.11\00:17:01.23 important. A lot of clinical research back in 00:17:01.26\00:17:03.12 that and again base on doses always let your healthcare 00:17:03.15\00:17:06.57 professional should be aware of what you are 00:17:06.60\00:17:08.59 doing because they need to be aware that you are 00:17:08.62\00:17:11.87 doing some other alternative protocols 00:17:11.90\00:17:14.96 that does not counteract the conventional 00:17:14.99\00:17:18.14 chemotherapy treatments. The better way to 00:17:18.17\00:17:20.43 to get astragulus in, we are talking now liquid, 00:17:20.46\00:17:22.47 we are talking capsule or what. 00:17:22.50\00:17:23.87 Okay, good question honey. Yeah, 00:17:23.90\00:17:25.27 we are talking about extract form. 00:17:25.30\00:17:26.92 Okay. Alcohol free liquid extract just simply 00:17:27.12\00:17:31.11 count the drops and we are looking at about 00:17:31.14\00:17:33.46 30-40 drops per day based on the chemotherapy, 00:17:33.49\00:17:36.87 if, if a person going through that treatment, 00:17:37.01\00:17:38.73 it will help keep those white blood cell count up 00:17:39.07\00:17:42.22 because one of the major problem with 00:17:42.66\00:17:44.03 chemotherapy, conventional chemotherapy 00:17:44.06\00:17:46.17 is low white blood cell count. 00:17:46.68\00:17:49.06 Umm! Umm! Going down. 00:17:49.09\00:17:50.46 Some people have to be hospitalized because of 00:17:50.49\00:17:52.45 that so, Astragalus and all those things can 00:17:52.48\00:17:54.62 work in place. So, if a person goes to bed early. 00:17:54.92\00:17:58.04 Umm! Umm! Not past 10 o' clock. 00:17:58.41\00:18:00.02 Umm! Umm! A goodnight rest, 00:18:00.05\00:18:01.83 windows open, fresh air, exercise, pumping those 00:18:02.85\00:18:07.42 muscles get that blood flow and the lymphatic 00:18:07.45\00:18:11.19 system moving, moving those immune cells, eating a 00:18:11.22\00:18:14.32 proper diet, fruits and vegetables then you will 00:18:14.35\00:18:17.73 notice that this next graphic will be profound. 00:18:17.76\00:18:20.63 This next graphic is actually natural killer 00:18:21.00\00:18:25.15 cells attacking a cancer cell that has been magnified 00:18:25.62\00:18:31.25 millions of times. Let's go to our last graphic and 00:18:31.73\00:18:34.43 let's see what's going on. There it is folks, 00:18:34.46\00:18:37.44 now the cancer cell is the top purple ball at the 00:18:38.05\00:18:43.00 top. The natural killer cells at the bottom and you 00:18:43.03\00:18:46.97 can see that, they are simply attaching 00:18:47.00\00:18:49.33 themselves to the cancer cells. Now, if you see 00:18:49.36\00:18:52.32 very closely there the purple ball has smaller 00:18:52.55\00:18:56.77 balls attached to it and breaking off. 00:18:56.80\00:18:58.75 Those are the casualties, where the natural killer 00:18:58.78\00:19:01.46 T cells are simply making that cancer cell go 00:19:01.49\00:19:05.43 away. It will stay there and attach itself into 00:19:05.46\00:19:08.62 the cancer cell simply is eliminated and this is 00:19:08.65\00:19:12.13 what we want to do to build a strong immunity. 00:19:12.27\00:19:15.61 Thank you for that graphic. So, there it is 00:19:15.64\00:19:17.57 folks. So again the key is going to bed early. 00:19:17.60\00:19:21.60 Umm! Umm! Proper rest. 00:19:21.63\00:19:23.54 Umm! Exercise, fresh air, 00:19:23.57\00:19:25.57 eat plant based diet and therefore we can have 00:19:26.13\00:19:29.13 success in building a strong immunity. 00:19:29.45\00:19:31.90 Well, we missed one part though. 00:19:32.89\00:19:34.26 Oh! And that is about the attitude. 00:19:34.37\00:19:36.85 Yes, let's talk about that. 00:19:37.43\00:19:38.80 Because I mean, you know, you can do all that, 00:19:38.83\00:19:40.20 but if you don't have a positive attitude. 00:19:40.23\00:19:42.21 I don't wanna say positive attitude, 00:19:42.24\00:19:43.61 I mean getting up in the morning have a 00:19:43.64\00:19:45.43 devotional time with the Lord, keeping yourselves 00:19:45.46\00:19:48.19 around by good spiritual type of music. 00:19:48.22\00:19:51.17 Umm! Umm! Surrounding yourself 00:19:51.20\00:19:52.80 with friends, who also think positive as well. 00:19:52.83\00:19:54.97 Amen. Because I mean I have known cases 00:19:55.00\00:19:56.97 were individual have become ill. 00:19:57.00\00:19:58.59 Umm! And then in that illness they get bitter. 00:19:58.62\00:20:00.90 Yes sure. And when you're 00:20:00.93\00:20:02.30 bitter then of course that also weakens the 00:20:02.33\00:20:05.50 Immune System. Umm! Umm! 00:20:05.53\00:20:06.90 And so, I know you would might say what else 00:20:06.93\00:20:08.71 easier said than done, but we know the word of God 00:20:08.74\00:20:11.47 and all his promises are true. Umm! Umm! 00:20:11.50\00:20:12.87 As we study God's word. Allow God to speak to 00:20:13.14\00:20:15.55 us, as we pray. Umm! 00:20:15.58\00:20:16.95 And ask him, you know, everyday we wake up is 00:20:17.10\00:20:18.65 a brand new day, everyday. 00:20:18.68\00:20:21.00 Umm! Umm! Everyday the Father 00:20:21.03\00:20:22.40 God calls us. Umm! Umm! 00:20:22.43\00:20:23.80 Okay, and so with that in mind just the 00:20:23.83\00:20:25.66 idea of waking up to a brand new day. 00:20:25.69\00:20:27.60 Good, a good positive attitude. 00:20:28.11\00:20:29.66 Keep a positive attitude. And that in itself can 00:20:29.69\00:20:31.45 also boost the Immune System. 00:20:31.48\00:20:33.38 Absolutely, absolutely. Very good point. 00:20:33.41\00:20:34.78 I'm glad you brought that point out. 00:20:34.81\00:20:36.18 Well, it's time for the kitchen, what do you 00:20:36.21\00:20:37.58 think? Yes, speaking about positive attitude. 00:20:37.61\00:20:38.98 We're positively going into the kitchen. 00:20:39.01\00:20:41.16 And we're going a fix a recipe today called a 00:20:41.36\00:20:43.49 Vegetable Bulgur Stir-Fry. So, stay by. 00:20:43.52\00:20:47.53
