Steve: Hello again, this
is Part 2 of Body Battles.
00:00:27.76\00:00:30.53
Thank you for joining us...
00:00:30.56\00:00:31.89
we're talking about the body...
00:00:31.93\00:00:33.26
we're talking about
the warfare that we're in
00:00:33.29\00:00:36.06
and the secret
things that are inside of us
00:00:36.10\00:00:38.27
that are killing us
and how to get over those.
00:00:38.30\00:00:40.87
This particular
program... Part 2...
00:00:40.90\00:00:43.14
we're calling
it: Battle Boosters
00:00:43.20\00:00:45.37
and I'd like to
read a... a Bible verse
00:00:45.41\00:00:47.78
from the Bible for the Battle.
00:00:47.81\00:00:49.61
This is in 2nd
Corinthians chapter 10 verse 4,
00:00:49.64\00:00:52.98
the Bible says that the weapons
of our warfare are not carnal,
00:00:53.01\00:00:59.05
or just fleshy... or just things
that are going to bring us down
00:00:59.09\00:01:05.13
but they are
mighty... mighty through God
00:01:05.16\00:01:08.06
to the pulling
down of strong holds...
00:01:08.10\00:01:10.67
the strong holds of
disease and sickness
00:01:10.73\00:01:13.10
and all the other things
that are working against us.
00:01:13.13\00:01:17.31
So, here we go again...
00:01:17.34\00:01:19.01
my guest for this Eight-Part
Series is Jack Mclntosh.
00:01:19.04\00:01:24.01
He is a Health Educator...
00:01:24.05\00:01:25.71
He's a Lifestyle
Interventionist...
00:01:25.75\00:01:27.38
he's done multiple
television programs on 3ABN
00:01:27.42\00:01:31.29
and also 3ABN Radio...
00:01:31.35\00:01:33.52
he's been a teacher at
Weimar... Weimar Institute
00:01:33.56\00:01:37.26
and he has given
lectures... talks...
00:01:37.29\00:01:40.00
presentations
at... across the country
00:01:40.03\00:01:42.50
and probably
overseas... I'm assuming.
00:01:42.53\00:01:44.93
Jack, you've been
doing this for a long time
00:01:44.97\00:01:46.90
and you are a health man...
so at 73 you're doing good
00:01:46.94\00:01:51.57
and thank you
for joining us again
00:01:51.61\00:01:54.28
and so, today what's the...
00:01:54.31\00:01:56.88
what's the focus of
our... of our subject?
00:01:56.95\00:01:59.41
Jack: Well, we're
going to talk about
00:01:59.45\00:02:01.72
how to strengthen
that immune system
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.02
that has to do the battle.
00:02:04.09\00:02:05.72
Steve: Yes.
00:02:05.75\00:02:07.56
Jack: Today, of course,
what's on everybody's mind
00:02:07.59\00:02:10.56
is that bugaboo
virus that's out there.
00:02:10.59\00:02:13.70
Steve: Yeah, the
COVID... COVID-19...
00:02:13.73\00:02:16.73
Jack: COVID-19 that's
creating all the trouble for us.
00:02:16.77\00:02:18.73
Steve: Yeah, it's amazing...
00:02:18.77\00:02:20.20
the whole world has been
affected and locked down...
00:02:20.24\00:02:22.80
travel's been
restricted... schools closed...
00:02:22.87\00:02:25.41
churches closed... all
of this because of COVID...
00:02:25.44\00:02:28.41
COVID-19
connected to the Coronavirus
00:02:28.44\00:02:31.05
and, you know, these days just
seems like COVID... COVID...
00:02:31.11\00:02:34.35
COVID... COVID...
00:02:34.38\00:02:35.72
and I think
people are sick of COVID
00:02:35.75\00:02:37.49
and we just want
to get beyond COVID
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.72
and so, you're going to
help us find out how to do that.
00:02:39.75\00:02:44.06
Jack: Yes, so the COVID
virus is a SARS virus...
00:02:44.09\00:02:52.57
it is Acute Respiratory Virus
00:02:52.60\00:02:55.07
and it's very similar
to the Influenza virus...
00:02:55.10\00:03:01.54
the Influenza A and B, you know,
00:03:01.58\00:03:03.65
in that it... it attacks
the respiratory system primarily
00:03:03.68\00:03:09.62
and it has some... some
features that are similar
00:03:09.65\00:03:16.42
to the regular Influenza virus
00:03:16.46\00:03:21.86
and features that
are not so similar.
00:03:21.90\00:03:25.27
So, we're going to
talk about some of those.
00:03:25.33\00:03:29.34
In terms of
similarities, of course,
00:03:29.37\00:03:33.44
it attaches to the...
the ACE Receptor in the lungs
00:03:33.48\00:03:39.01
and that Receptor... there
are lots of them in the lungs
00:03:39.05\00:03:44.09
and so, it produces some
problems for breathing and
00:03:44.12\00:03:51.29
the respiratory system.
00:03:51.33\00:03:52.66
There is a
difference also in the...
00:03:52.69\00:03:57.30
in the infectivity period...
00:03:57.33\00:04:01.60
you know, the period
when you first acquire...
00:04:01.64\00:04:03.91
you start to symptoms
with regular Influenza viruses
00:04:03.94\00:04:07.98
one to four days
after you've been infected
00:04:08.01\00:04:12.01
but it can take up to 14 days
00:04:12.05\00:04:14.58
where the COVID-19
virus to see symptoms
00:04:14.62\00:04:19.95
and it can be deadly, of course,
00:04:19.99\00:04:23.53
if... if you have comorbidities.
00:04:23.56\00:04:27.00
So, I'm going to
just access my notes here
00:04:27.03\00:04:31.07
and just give you a few things
that we need to pay attention to
00:04:31.10\00:04:35.10
as we go through
our little talk today.
00:04:35.14\00:04:39.14
The first thing is
that some people die
00:04:39.17\00:04:43.38
from the COVID-19
virus and some don't
00:04:43.41\00:04:47.58
and the question is, "Why?
00:04:47.62\00:04:50.35
What would
cause the difference?"
00:04:50.39\00:04:51.85
There is a 99.96
percent recovery rate
00:04:51.89\00:04:57.33
from the COVID-19 virus.
00:04:57.36\00:04:59.49
So, a very small
percentage of people die
00:04:59.53\00:05:02.50
but it's important to
understand why they die...
00:05:02.53\00:05:06.20
why do some people
die and some don't?
00:05:06.23\00:05:08.90
In a word... the
answer is: Comorbidities
00:05:08.94\00:05:11.47
and all that word means is that
there are underlying conditions
00:05:11.54\00:05:15.34
and most of us are aware
of them, you know, Diabetes...
00:05:15.38\00:05:17.75
heart disease... hypertension...
00:05:17.78\00:05:19.91
high cholesterol
and... and even cancer.
00:05:19.95\00:05:25.12
Diseases that...
00:05:25.15\00:05:27.59
that are produced by
inflammation primarily
00:05:27.62\00:05:32.69
and, of course, what happens
in the lungs with all of these
00:05:32.73\00:05:37.37
Influenza and SARS
viruses is inflammation...
00:05:37.40\00:05:41.97
that's the primary
thing that happens,
00:05:42.00\00:05:44.24
there's a storm... a
Cytokine Storm in the lungs
00:05:44.27\00:05:46.88
and it overwhelms the system.
00:05:46.91\00:05:48.94
The idea is to
protect the immune system
00:05:49.01\00:05:52.01
so that we don't go down
from that extra inflammation
00:05:52.05\00:05:57.82
that's going on in the...
00:05:57.85\00:06:00.16
in the lungs and in
the respiratory system.
00:06:00.19\00:06:02.42
Steve: So, it's amazing to
me, Jack, listening to the...
00:06:02.46\00:06:04.86
the numbers that like you said,
00:06:04.89\00:06:07.50
"It has a very
high recovery rate...
00:06:07.53\00:06:10.53
99.96 recovery rate,
00:06:10.57\00:06:14.40
so, the vast majority of people
00:06:14.44\00:06:17.51
who are exposed
to the Coronavirus...
00:06:17.54\00:06:20.58
if you get COVID-19
they... they don't die
00:06:20.61\00:06:24.01
and yet, what we've
seen around the world is...
00:06:24.05\00:06:27.12
it's almost like, you
know, this is the Bubonic Plague
00:06:27.18\00:06:31.62
or the Black Plague or at least,
you know, there's so much fear
00:06:31.65\00:06:34.36
about getting this
00:06:34.39\00:06:36.19
and yet, as you mentioned,
00:06:36.22\00:06:38.63
a small percentage of
those who do get it die,
00:06:38.66\00:06:42.03
but... but some do...
00:06:42.06\00:06:43.63
and so, it can be
deadly for those that get it
00:06:43.67\00:06:46.70
if they have
conditions that make it easier
00:06:46.74\00:06:51.21
for them to lose the battle
and become a COVID casualty,
00:06:51.24\00:06:55.68
so, how do we...
how do we avoid that
00:06:55.71\00:06:58.28
and how do we build up
the... the body's ability
00:06:58.31\00:07:02.78
to fight, as you
mentioned, the inflammation
00:07:02.82\00:07:05.05
and all the problems that
result from... from this virus.
00:07:05.09\00:07:09.52
Jack: Hmmm... hmmm... I
should also mention that
00:07:09.56\00:07:12.09
the number one source of
mortality when it comes to those
00:07:12.13\00:07:17.90
underlying conditions
is... is a Cardiac condition.
00:07:17.93\00:07:21.00
People with heart disease seem
to succumb in larger numbers
00:07:21.04\00:07:28.78
to this virus
than... than other people
00:07:28.81\00:07:31.21
but people with
hypertension do succumb
00:07:31.25\00:07:33.58
and people with Diabetes
00:07:33.62\00:07:34.95
and sometimes there is a
clustering of these things
00:07:34.98\00:07:37.65
in people... what we
call Metabolic Syndrome
00:07:37.69\00:07:40.96
where people are Diabetic...
00:07:40.99\00:07:42.79
they're hypertensive...
they have high cholesterol
00:07:42.82\00:07:45.09
and they're overweight
00:07:45.13\00:07:47.00
and when you have multiple risk
factors clustering like that,
00:07:47.03\00:07:51.10
that increases
your risk even more.
00:07:51.13\00:07:54.20
When you have two and three
and four risk factors together,
00:07:54.24\00:07:58.71
then your risk
factor goes way up high.
00:07:58.74\00:08:02.04
But Cardiac
disease... heart disease is...
00:08:02.08\00:08:05.38
is the number one
source of mortality
00:08:05.41\00:08:09.62
when people do have
heart disease going on already.
00:08:09.65\00:08:12.69
Steve: Hmmm... hmmm...
let me stop for a second...
00:08:12.72\00:08:15.66
what we... what we've heard
over and over and over again
00:08:15.69\00:08:18.86
and, you know, we've heard it...
00:08:18.89\00:08:20.50
I've heard it as I
walk around in airports...
00:08:20.53\00:08:23.50
when I travel...
I still do travel
00:08:23.53\00:08:25.33
even though during the Pandemic,
00:08:25.40\00:08:27.14
there are still
opportunities for me to travel
00:08:27.17\00:08:29.27
and hold Seminars
00:08:29.30\00:08:31.21
and, you know, the
main things that we hear is:
00:08:31.24\00:08:34.18
Wash your hands...
00:08:34.21\00:08:35.54
Wear a mask...
00:08:35.58\00:08:36.91
Social Distance...
00:08:36.95\00:08:38.35
and, you know, just
simple things like that
00:08:38.38\00:08:42.48
and we're being told
this again and again and again
00:08:42.52\00:08:45.52
and again and again
00:08:45.55\00:08:46.89
and I'm certainly not
saying that those things are...
00:08:46.92\00:08:48.72
you know, we should never do...
00:08:48.76\00:08:50.43
but I think what
you're going to tell us
00:08:50.46\00:08:53.36
is that there's a bigger
issue... an underlying issue
00:08:53.40\00:08:56.87
that is really
not being focused on
00:08:56.90\00:08:59.70
and that's the body's
own ability to fight disease
00:08:59.73\00:09:05.47
which is your...
your immune system
00:09:05.51\00:09:07.38
and how we
strengthen that immune system...
00:09:07.41\00:09:10.48
I think that... that's critical
00:09:10.51\00:09:12.35
and that's really not being
stressed I think by enough...
00:09:12.38\00:09:15.88
enough people.
00:09:15.92\00:09:17.25
Jack: Yes, couple of things.
Steve: Am I right on that?
00:09:17.29\00:09:19.79
Jack: Yeah, yeah, you know
00:09:19.85\00:09:21.96
they're referring
to as a pandemic...
00:09:21.99\00:09:23.56
in a... in a... in a
real 100 percent pandemic,
00:09:23.63\00:09:30.60
you would see, for instance,
00:09:30.63\00:09:32.37
the mortality rate increasing
dramatically over let's say 2019
00:09:32.40\00:09:37.24
but we don't see that.
00:09:37.27\00:09:39.11
So, the reason we don't see that
00:09:39.14\00:09:41.34
is because there's
a 99.96 recovery rate.
00:09:41.38\00:09:44.45
So, in a... in a real pandemic,
00:09:44.48\00:09:47.55
the mortality rate
would go significantly higher.
00:09:47.58\00:09:50.99
So... but... if you have
one of those comorbidities...
00:09:51.02\00:09:56.36
those risk factors that
we've been talking about,
00:09:56.39\00:09:58.59
the Diabetes and
hypertension and heart disease,
00:09:58.63\00:10:00.80
then, for you,
that doesn't matter.
00:10:00.86\00:10:03.80
What matters is that you have
to find a way to deal with it
00:10:03.83\00:10:06.63
and the best way to deal with it
00:10:06.70\00:10:08.54
is to strengthen
your immune system
00:10:08.60\00:10:10.37
because actually, the
real pandemic has been going on
00:10:10.41\00:10:15.71
for years and that is
the snowstorm of Diabetes.
00:10:15.74\00:10:19.55
Diabetes is increasing at
tremendous rate, you know,
00:10:19.58\00:10:23.35
and it used to be that people...
00:10:23.39\00:10:26.86
we used to call it:
Adult Onset Diabetes.
00:10:26.89\00:10:31.89
I don't know if you
remember way back, you know,
00:10:31.93\00:10:33.63
you got Diabetes when you
were 40 and 50 and 60 years old.
00:10:33.66\00:10:38.10
Now, we have 12-year-old
kids getting Diabetes.
00:10:38.13\00:10:41.74
So, so that's...
that's the real pandemic
00:10:41.77\00:10:46.57
that's been going
on under the radar
00:10:46.61\00:10:49.01
for a very, very long time,
00:10:49.04\00:10:51.21
and those, coincidentally
00:10:51.25\00:10:53.38
are the ones that put you
at risk for the SARS COVID-19.
00:10:53.42\00:10:56.75
So, so that's the
pandemic we need to address
00:10:56.79\00:11:00.46
is how do we protect people
from Diabetes and Hypertension
00:11:00.49\00:11:05.66
and heart disease and so on.
00:11:05.69\00:11:07.03
But strengthening the immune
response is the first step
00:11:07.06\00:11:11.03
and one of the most...
00:11:11.07\00:11:12.97
Steve: Before you do
that, could you just...
00:11:13.03\00:11:14.44
for those that
may not, you know,
00:11:14.47\00:11:16.71
have a medical background or...
or just need some simplicity,
00:11:16.74\00:11:21.98
how would you define the
immune system... what is that?
00:11:22.01\00:11:26.75
Jack: Well, the
immune system has
00:11:26.78\00:11:29.38
as most people have heard of...
white blood cells, you know,
00:11:29.42\00:11:32.12
T- Lymphocytes
and B cells and so on,
00:11:32.15\00:11:36.83
Macrophages and all
that... macro means: large,
00:11:36.86\00:11:40.56
phage means: to eat...
so these are big eaters...
00:11:40.60\00:11:44.27
they devour bacteria, you know,
00:11:44.30\00:11:45.93
and that's called:
active immunity, you know
00:11:46.00\00:11:50.91
and then there's...
there's the learned immunity
00:11:50.94\00:11:55.81
where the immunity...
00:11:55.84\00:11:57.51
the cells learn what the
pathogen... what the virus
00:11:57.55\00:12:01.62
or whatever it is...
00:12:01.65\00:12:03.08
what it's like and it
builds up immunity over time,
00:12:03.12\00:12:05.32
so, you have... you have
two kinds of soldiers in there,
00:12:05.35\00:12:08.52
you have soldiers that
when something breaks through
00:12:08.59\00:12:11.73
the wall, they
jump on it immediately
00:12:11.76\00:12:13.73
and... and that's...
00:12:13.76\00:12:16.10
that's the... the
immediate response.
00:12:16.13\00:12:19.27
Then you have
the learned response
00:12:19.30\00:12:21.10
where when those viruses and
bacteria break through the line,
00:12:21.17\00:12:25.81
these guys sit back and they
learn what that thing looks like
00:12:25.84\00:12:30.45
and how to... how to beat it
00:12:30.48\00:12:32.01
and so, they build
up an immunity to it
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.82
to be able to destroy it.
00:12:34.88\00:12:36.55
So, that's... that's the
second line of defense...
00:12:36.58\00:12:39.69
so, the learned immunity.
00:12:39.72\00:12:41.26
Steve: So, the immune system
is the system within your body
00:12:41.29\00:12:44.76
your own body... Jack:
Yes, very sophisticated.
00:12:44.79\00:12:46.90
Steve: Yeah, it's very...
it's... it's almost like,
00:12:46.93\00:12:49.00
you could say, "high tech... "
00:12:49.03\00:12:50.53
it's extremely
complicated but it's powerful
00:12:50.57\00:12:53.00
in its... in its own
natural ability to fight disease
00:12:53.03\00:12:59.44
and, you know,
bacteria and pathogens
00:12:59.47\00:13:02.41
and problems and all
kinds of things that we...
00:13:02.44\00:13:04.35
we battle with all the time
00:13:04.38\00:13:05.81
and we want to strengthen...
00:13:05.85\00:13:07.22
we want to strengthen
the body's inner ability
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.98
to fight these
things so that if we get...
00:13:10.02\00:13:12.99
if we do get
COVID-19, the body can kick it
00:13:13.02\00:13:16.59
just wipe it out
instead of wiping you out.
00:13:16.62\00:13:20.16
Jack: Exactly... exactly
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.23
and one of the...
one of the primary ways
00:13:22.26\00:13:25.90
that... that we
can strengthen immunity
00:13:25.93\00:13:29.54
is by physical activity
00:13:29.57\00:13:32.37
and let me
explain how that works.
00:13:32.41\00:13:35.71
So, for
instance, let's say that...
00:13:35.74\00:13:39.15
that you decide, "You
know, I need some fresh air... "
00:13:39.18\00:13:43.35
and so, you get up...
you put on your sneakers
00:13:43.39\00:13:46.32
and get out there
and you start walking
00:13:46.35\00:13:48.29
and you notice that
after 17... 18... 20 minutes,
00:13:48.32\00:13:51.26
you notice, you start
to feel a little bit warm
00:13:51.29\00:13:54.23
and by the time
you get to 30 minutes
00:13:54.26\00:13:56.43
which is what we recommend...
brisk walk... 30 minutes,
00:13:56.46\00:13:58.90
your body is one
or two degrees higher.
00:13:58.93\00:14:01.90
Well, it turns out that...
00:14:01.94\00:14:04.24
that little increase
in your body temperature
00:14:04.31\00:14:07.51
is like a natural fever
00:14:07.54\00:14:10.11
and you probably know
that when you get an infection,
00:14:10.15\00:14:13.85
one of the first
things you get is a fever,
00:14:13.88\00:14:15.65
you know, the
body releases these...
00:14:15.68\00:14:17.95
what they call
endogenous pathogens
00:14:17.99\00:14:20.22
which raises your
body temperature... right?
00:14:20.26\00:14:22.49
Well, the exercise does
that... raises it naturally
00:14:22.52\00:14:25.89
and when you raise
the body temperature,
00:14:25.93\00:14:29.06
immediately, you start to
strengthen the immune response
00:14:29.10\00:14:33.40
because now the soldiers that
are in there are on high alert
00:14:33.44\00:14:37.31
because what you've done is,
you've produced a little fever,
00:14:37.34\00:14:41.18
that's what you've done.
00:14:41.21\00:14:42.64
That's wonderful
00:14:42.68\00:14:44.01
and so, this is one of the
reasons why again the Lord said
00:14:44.05\00:14:49.45
in the beginning, "In
the sweat of your brow... "
00:14:49.48\00:14:51.25
right, you don't sweat unless
your body temperature goes up.
00:14:51.29\00:14:54.52
"You shall eat bread... "
00:14:54.59\00:14:55.92
so, it works on all
kinds of levels, you know,
00:14:55.96\00:14:59.16
the immune system...
00:14:59.19\00:15:00.93
the balancing of
energy... input and output...
00:15:00.96\00:15:03.67
all those kinds of things
00:15:03.73\00:15:05.13
but what you're doing is,
your producing a natural fever
00:15:05.17\00:15:08.80
and that has tremendous
effects on your immune system.
00:15:08.84\00:15:12.87
It boosts the...
the T-lymphocytes
00:15:12.91\00:15:16.14
and the... the macrophages
and all those kinds of things
00:15:16.21\00:15:19.88
out there in the body.
00:15:19.91\00:15:21.32
Steve: So, it boosts
all... just a simple walk
00:15:21.35\00:15:23.79
will boost the good
guys to fight the bad guys.
00:15:23.82\00:15:26.19
Jack: Yes and
that's why people who walk
00:15:26.25\00:15:29.12
seldom come down
with the Influenza virus
00:15:29.16\00:15:31.96
you know, where you're sick
for four, five, six, you know,
00:15:31.99\00:15:34.96
a week... days...
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.43
it's because they're constantly
boosting the immune response
00:15:37.47\00:15:42.10
like getting out
and taking a walk
00:15:42.14\00:15:43.71
and raising the body
temperature... that's the key.
00:15:43.74\00:15:46.21
Steve: I see.
00:15:46.27\00:15:47.61
Jack: If the body
temperature doesn't go up,
00:15:47.64\00:15:48.98
you don't get all of the
benefits that you should get
00:15:49.01\00:15:52.95
when you get a rise
in one or two degrees
00:15:52.98\00:15:55.85
in the... in the
body temperature.
00:15:55.88\00:15:57.22
Steve: So... so... so
when the temperature goes up
00:15:57.25\00:15:58.59
and the body kicks
in to bring it down,
00:15:58.62\00:15:59.95
right, isn't that
basically what's happening?
00:15:59.99\00:16:01.42
Jack: It does... it does...
but just the rise in temperature
00:16:01.46\00:16:04.83
is... will boost
that immune response.
00:16:04.86\00:16:07.86
stimulate it and now
everybody is on guard, you know,
00:16:07.90\00:16:10.23
everybody in the... all
those soldiers are in there
00:16:10.27\00:16:12.53
looking for the enemy.
00:16:12.57\00:16:13.90
So, that's very,
very important for us.
00:16:13.94\00:16:16.60
Now, that's the number
one thing that you can do
00:16:16.64\00:16:19.11
to boost your immunity.
00:16:19.14\00:16:20.64
Steve: Is just taking
a walk and exercising...
00:16:20.68\00:16:22.11
Jack: Yes, a brisk walk.
00:16:22.14\00:16:23.68
Steve: A program we're
going to do in the next...
00:16:23.71\00:16:26.28
one of the next ones...
00:16:26.31\00:16:27.65
is going to be... I
think you have 40 different...
00:16:27.68\00:16:30.02
Jack: Forty reasons to exercise,
we're going to talk about that.
00:16:30.09\00:16:32.29
Steve: And it's so simple and
00:16:32.32\00:16:33.89
some people think that
they have to, you know,
00:16:33.92\00:16:37.76
become like super
athletes and run marathons
00:16:37.79\00:16:41.60
in order to get
the benefit of exercise
00:16:41.63\00:16:43.40
but... but that's not true.
00:16:43.43\00:16:44.87
But I like... I like
to jog not... not fast
00:16:44.90\00:16:49.10
but I... I like...
00:16:49.17\00:16:50.84
we're surrounded by mountains
here and I love going on the...
00:16:50.87\00:16:53.44
the logging roads
with my dog and...
00:16:53.48\00:16:55.88
you know, just jogging along
00:16:55.94\00:16:57.91
and I do this for... walk
and run for maybe 45 minutes
00:16:57.95\00:17:02.58
or sometimes an hour
and I get a good sweat going
00:17:02.62\00:17:06.39
and I try to do this
on a fairly regular basis
00:17:06.42\00:17:08.96
and it really...
it makes me feel good
00:17:08.99\00:17:11.93
and I've traveled quite
a bit during this pandemic
00:17:11.96\00:17:14.86
and it hasn't gotten
me... thank the Lord...
00:17:14.90\00:17:18.57
I'm thankful that I haven't...
00:17:18.63\00:17:20.50
haven't had any major
sickness for quite a while
00:17:20.54\00:17:24.01
so, I guess the point is
00:17:24.04\00:17:25.37
that you don't
have to run a marathon,
00:17:25.41\00:17:28.34
it's just getting out...
walking down the street...
00:17:28.38\00:17:30.78
walking around the block
00:17:30.81\00:17:32.51
that the benefits of doing that
00:17:32.55\00:17:34.02
to help boost the body's
natural ability to fight disease
00:17:34.05\00:17:37.25
is... is almost off the charts.
00:17:37.29\00:17:39.89
Jack: Yeah and you know...
00:17:39.92\00:17:41.62
I think that the
wisdom of the Creator
00:17:41.66\00:17:44.93
in giving us things
that are not complicated...
00:17:44.96\00:17:48.10
so simple to do
00:17:48.13\00:17:50.27
that we can protect ourselves
by... by something that simple
00:17:50.30\00:17:54.20
it's just awesome...
00:17:54.24\00:17:56.17
a wonderful thing to contemplate
that He has made it easy for us
00:17:56.20\00:18:00.64
to protect ourselves.
00:18:00.68\00:18:02.48
But, of course, you
know, we... we sit a lot
00:18:02.54\00:18:05.51
and we watch television a lot
00:18:05.55\00:18:07.38
and we need to not do
that for more than an hour.
00:18:07.42\00:18:10.35
Steve: Yeah, we need
to get up and move...
00:18:10.39\00:18:11.72
looking at my notes
here, you've also mentioned
00:18:11.75\00:18:14.42
the significance of
just sunlight and Vitamin D.
00:18:14.49\00:18:17.29
Jack: Yes, now the best...
00:18:17.33\00:18:19.19
Vitamin D has a tremendous
effect on the immune system
00:18:19.23\00:18:23.33
in both the...
the active immunity
00:18:23.37\00:18:25.83
and the... the
learned immunity, if you will.
00:18:25.87\00:18:29.30
It... it boosts
the immune response...
00:18:29.34\00:18:33.17
it has a tremendous effect
00:18:33.21\00:18:34.54
and what they've noticed
from the research is that
00:18:34.58\00:18:37.48
if your Vitamin D
level is less than 30,
00:18:37.51\00:18:41.15
your risk of
coming down with COVID
00:18:41.18\00:18:43.89
and having
significantly negative outcomes
00:18:43.92\00:18:48.52
is much greater
00:18:48.56\00:18:50.36
than if your Vitamin D level
is 40 or above... 40 or above.
00:18:50.39\00:18:56.33
So, this is... this
is very, very important
00:18:56.36\00:19:00.20
the Vitamin D level as
many, many, many people...
00:19:00.24\00:19:02.67
large numbers of
people in America
00:19:02.70\00:19:04.97
have Vitamin D
levels of less than 20.
00:19:05.01\00:19:07.24
When you're down that low,
00:19:07.28\00:19:08.84
you are definitely...
00:19:08.88\00:19:10.21
Steve: At risk.
00:19:10.25\00:19:11.95
Jack: The sights of
that virus to take you out.
00:19:12.01\00:19:15.18
You've got to make sure
that your Vitamin D level is...
00:19:15.22\00:19:18.99
is significantly higher.
00:19:19.02\00:19:20.96
It really should
be between 50 and 70.
00:19:21.02\00:19:23.06
Steve: So, what's a
simple way to do that?
00:19:23.09\00:19:25.06
Jack: Simple way to do
that is just to take Vitamin D3.
00:19:25.09\00:19:29.03
Now, it's not D2
00:19:29.06\00:19:30.40
but very often we will D2
on... on a package, you know,
00:19:30.43\00:19:35.17
of processed food and so on...
00:19:35.20\00:19:36.84
that's not the... the...
00:19:36.87\00:19:39.14
the active version
of Vitamin D... it's D3.
00:19:39.17\00:19:43.58
Now, we use a liquid
Vitamin D, it's an emulsifier...
00:19:43.61\00:19:47.72
this one just happens... there
are lots of them out there.
00:19:47.75\00:19:50.29
This one's called:
Bio-D-Mulsion Forte...
00:19:50.32\00:19:54.52
Bio-D-Mulsion...
M U L S I O N Forte.
00:19:54.56\00:19:58.66
and it's made by a company
called: Biotics Research.
00:19:58.69\00:20:01.60
No, I don't have any
stock in their company
00:20:01.66\00:20:04.33
but the reason I
bought it today...
00:20:04.37\00:20:05.90
Steve: Can you
buy that on Amazon?
00:20:05.93\00:20:07.44
Jack: Anywhere.
00:20:07.47\00:20:08.80
The reason I
brought it today is because
00:20:08.84\00:20:10.17
we use it
personally, every day...
00:20:10.21\00:20:11.97
I put three drops on... on...
00:20:12.04\00:20:14.51
we like to have a
high protein breakfast
00:20:14.54\00:20:17.15
so, I will have some
beans with some... some avocados
00:20:17.18\00:20:20.88
and some bagels, you
know, whole wheat bagels and
00:20:20.92\00:20:24.52
fresh fruit... we'll have some
oranges and things like that
00:20:24.55\00:20:29.12
and so, we will put this...
I'll put this in my bean bowl
00:20:29.16\00:20:33.66
because that's my
protein for the day
00:20:33.70\00:20:36.56
and I put three
drops and I'm good to go.
00:20:36.60\00:20:39.43
Last time it was
measured, it was 83, see...
00:20:39.47\00:20:42.27
so, it's way above the average
00:20:42.30\00:20:44.71
and that's out there today.
00:20:44.74\00:20:47.18
So, just simply doing something
00:20:47.24\00:20:49.64
and you don't
have to use this brand,
00:20:49.68\00:20:51.11
there are lots
of them out there...
00:20:51.15\00:20:52.51
this is just the one we use
00:20:52.55\00:20:53.88
but the point is,
you need to do something,
00:20:53.92\00:20:56.25
if you live above... what
is it? Redding, California,
00:20:56.28\00:21:02.09
I guess it is or maybe a little
further in terms of latitude,
00:21:02.12\00:21:05.89
you really need to use
Vitamin D3 in some form
00:21:05.93\00:21:11.07
because of its importance
for... for immune enhancement
00:21:11.13\00:21:16.30
building up immunity.
00:21:16.34\00:21:17.77
Steve: People who
live in warmer climates
00:21:17.81\00:21:19.41
like California or Texas...
00:21:19.44\00:21:20.91
they just need to get a
little bit of sunlight, right?
00:21:20.94\00:21:22.91
just get out in the sun.
00:21:22.94\00:21:24.85
Jack: Yes, exposure
of the skin to sunlight
00:21:24.91\00:21:27.65
in a very short period of time,
just ten minutes, actually,
00:21:27.68\00:21:30.69
if you just expose your back
00:21:30.72\00:21:32.52
or... or your
chest to the sunlight
00:21:32.55\00:21:35.36
then you'd get...
and even your arms...
00:21:35.39\00:21:38.09
of course your arms have less
area for you to make Vitamin D
00:21:38.16\00:21:42.23
but your face... your neck...
00:21:42.26\00:21:43.67
your arms, you know,
that exposure builds...
00:21:43.70\00:21:47.14
and that's the best kind
of Vitamin D, by the way,
00:21:47.17\00:21:49.90
it lasts longer
in your bloodstream
00:21:49.94\00:21:52.01
than one that
comes out of a bottle.
00:21:52.04\00:21:53.94
But it doesn't mean
that if you live north
00:21:53.98\00:21:58.48
the way many of us do...
00:21:58.51\00:22:00.08
north of that line
that we talked about,
00:22:00.12\00:22:02.78
that you can't
have enhanced immunity.
00:22:02.85\00:22:05.49
Steve: So, give us...
00:22:05.52\00:22:07.72
we don't have much
time left in this Program,
00:22:07.76\00:22:10.73
you mentioned to me,
sugar, sleep and stress.
00:22:10.76\00:22:13.60
So, just give us the
short version of how...
00:22:13.63\00:22:16.46
how we can boost the immunity.
00:22:16.50\00:22:18.20
Jack: Yes, sugar tends to have
a very, very negative effect
00:22:18.23\00:22:24.14
on immune cells.
00:22:24.17\00:22:25.74
Macrophages for
instance that eat up bacteria...
00:22:25.77\00:22:29.58
if you... if you
indulge too much sugar,
00:22:29.61\00:22:35.25
their ability to engulf bacteria
diminishes just by the amount...
00:22:35.28\00:22:40.12
it's an inverse relationship,
the more sugar you eat,
00:22:40.16\00:22:42.59
the less they can "eat"
so to speak to defend you
00:22:42.62\00:22:47.06
and so, you want to keep
the sugar low in the diet.
00:22:47.10\00:22:51.43
Stress also is...
is pro inflammatory
00:22:51.47\00:22:56.07
and you know, it releases
Cortisol and you want...
00:22:56.10\00:22:59.67
which is a stress hormone
00:22:59.71\00:23:01.04
and you want to avoid
00:23:01.08\00:23:04.08
stressful situations.
00:23:04.11\00:23:07.28
When people watch
television, for instance,
00:23:07.32\00:23:09.68
where people are
shooting each other
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.05
and, you know, doing
things to each other,
00:23:11.09\00:23:13.15
they don't realize but
your stress hormones go up
00:23:13.19\00:23:15.96
in response to
what you're seeing...
00:23:16.02\00:23:17.56
what's coming into the brain
00:23:17.59\00:23:18.93
and so, you want to
avoid that kind of programming
00:23:18.96\00:23:22.53
where there's violence and...
00:23:22.56\00:23:23.97
and that has an
effect on your immune system.
00:23:24.00\00:23:27.24
That's just not something that
is going to move you forward
00:23:27.27\00:23:31.54
in terms of
enhancing your immunity.
00:23:31.57\00:23:33.24
So, we... we don't recommend
00:23:33.27\00:23:36.75
that you involve
yourself in that.
00:23:36.78\00:23:41.52
Steve: And, what about, sleep...
getting a good night's sleep.
00:23:41.55\00:23:43.52
Jack: Sleep is important too.
00:23:43.55\00:23:44.89
Sleep is... the body
fixes itself during sleep.
00:23:44.92\00:23:49.69
The brain actually gets smaller
00:23:49.72\00:23:53.36
and actually pushes out
the toxins in the body...
00:23:53.40\00:23:59.17
in the brain when you sleep.
00:23:59.20\00:24:01.20
It's just the "fix
and rejuvenate" part
00:24:01.24\00:24:04.84
of the day when you
press the reset button,
00:24:04.87\00:24:08.44
that's what sleep does...
it presses that "reset" button
00:24:08.48\00:24:10.98
and gets rid of
the toxins and...
00:24:11.01\00:24:13.95
and enhances the immune response
00:24:13.98\00:24:16.85
and just all kinds of good
things happen during sleep...
00:24:16.89\00:24:19.25
good sleep.
00:24:19.29\00:24:20.66
Steve: So... so when we hear...
there's a lot of discussion
00:24:20.69\00:24:25.46
and controversy in
talking about the vaccine...
00:24:25.49\00:24:28.06
then, of course, the
masks and the hand washing
00:24:28.13\00:24:30.67
and social distancing
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.03
and... you know, the... the,
I guess what you're saying...
00:24:32.07\00:24:35.74
is that there's a...
00:24:35.77\00:24:37.11
there's another issue...
there's an underlying issue
00:24:37.14\00:24:40.08
and that is:
building up the body...
00:24:40.11\00:24:41.64
building up our
immune system for the battles
00:24:41.68\00:24:44.85
so that if we... you know,
whatever we're exposed to...
00:24:44.88\00:24:46.45
whatever we get...
00:24:46.48\00:24:47.82
that we can
hopefully handle it naturally
00:24:47.85\00:24:51.09
by doing simple things
like getting enough sleep
00:24:51.12\00:24:54.32
and getting out in the sun
00:24:54.36\00:24:55.69
and... and, you
know, taking a walk
00:24:55.72\00:24:57.69
and just these simple
things will lessen the...
00:24:57.73\00:25:00.43
the likelihood that we're
going to go down... poooh...
00:25:00.46\00:25:04.47
if we get shot by COVID-19.
00:25:04.50\00:25:06.77
Jack: Yeah, and so, for instance
in the evening, you know,
00:25:06.80\00:25:10.07
where you finish dinner
00:25:10.11\00:25:11.64
and you are trying
to decide what to do...
00:25:11.67\00:25:14.21
shall I watch television
or read a book or whatever,
00:25:14.24\00:25:16.58
get on the treadmill...
00:25:16.61\00:25:18.25
that brings down
the blood sugar that...
00:25:18.28\00:25:20.98
that... that... from the
meal... enhances your immunity
00:25:21.05\00:25:25.65
you know, builds up
the white-blood-cell counts
00:25:25.69\00:25:28.49
and things like that
00:25:28.52\00:25:30.23
and it just really helps to
manage stress, for instance.
00:25:30.26\00:25:33.26
One of the... one of the things
that happens with stress is that
00:25:33.29\00:25:37.93
your C-reactive protein which is
an inflammatory marker increases
00:25:37.97\00:25:42.54
and so, physical activity
brings down the stress level...
00:25:42.60\00:25:46.07
brings down the Cortisol
levels and things like that.
00:25:46.11\00:25:49.58
So, it's really a...
it's really important
00:25:49.61\00:25:52.48
to... to choose things
that are better for us.
00:25:52.51\00:25:55.22
Instead of watching
that violent TV Program,
00:25:55.25\00:25:57.92
get on the treadmill
00:25:57.95\00:25:59.95
and start doing something
about your physical activity
00:25:59.99\00:26:03.26
and that's a... that's a
really important investment.
00:26:03.29\00:26:06.56
Steve: That makes
sense... makes sense to me
00:26:06.59\00:26:08.53
so, I guess the
bottom line is that
00:26:08.56\00:26:10.27
there are simple,
natural things that we can do
00:26:10.33\00:26:12.97
to build up the
body for the battle
00:26:13.00\00:26:15.50
so that we can live
longer... we can be happier...
00:26:15.54\00:26:18.57
we can, you know,
overcome a lot of the things
00:26:18.61\00:26:21.58
that are coming our way...
that are fighting against us,
00:26:21.64\00:26:24.01
as we read... as we
started out in 2nd Corinthians
00:26:24.05\00:26:27.65
chapter 10 and verse 4,
00:26:27.68\00:26:29.32
the Bible talks about
the weapons of our warfare.
00:26:29.35\00:26:33.09
We have weapons
that God has given us.
00:26:33.12\00:26:35.12
Jack: Yes, we do.
00:26:35.16\00:26:36.49
Steve: We have a Bible to teach
us a simple Biblical truth...
00:26:36.52\00:26:39.53
we have prayer... we
have a relationship with God
00:26:39.59\00:26:42.06
and we have
decisions that we can make
00:26:42.10\00:26:44.07
to build up our
health naturally...
00:26:44.10\00:26:46.30
to boost the
body for the battle...
00:26:46.33\00:26:48.44
so, come back for Part
3, we've got more to come.
00:26:48.50\00:26:51.87
