In a peer review article in the annual review of immunology, 4/2018, the topic was immune response of the liver. The foundation to the article showed, waging of war against bacteria and virus can only occur with a functioning liver. The coordinated response to infection is a purposeful act perpetrated by the hepatic immune system. This is the most dominant organ in respect to infections. A patient with liver failure will die primarily from infection. No amount of immune boosting will prevent this. You must heal the liver.
The spleen is an organ which is often ignored in western society. This is the main filter of pathogens and antigens. It deals with localized and systemic regulation of immunity. The Journal of Immunology Nov. 2013 shows that the spleen orchestrates specific tailoring of immune response to match the pathological insult. Immunizations do nothing to improve splenic activity, and can only act to damage it more.
In Endocrine reviews, on the Endocrine Society page, we see an article on osteoimmuniology June 2008, where interactions of the bone and immune system regulate the body’s response to invading pathogens. The bone marrow is intimately involved in creating powerful immune cells.
The thymus gland has often been thought to decrease in size and function as we age. This critical organ serves as one of the body’s primary defense mechanisms when it comes to surveillance and protection against diverse pathogens, tumors, antigens, and mediators of tissue damage. In this way, the body’s early innate response is coupled to and facilitates adaptive immunity.
Each and every one of these organs depend on nutrition to maintain the highest level of function. Today’s dietary practices with the excessive use of refined carbohydrates and sugars continue to damage these organs of protection. The use of immune boosters can do nothing to protect you until you have restored these vital organs. This is why the whole food protocols developed by Dr Royal Lee, coupled with eating good nutritional foods continue to be instrumental in protecting against these viral and bacterial attacks. A well fortified city can defend against attack.
When we consider the ability of our immune system to phagocytize viruses and bacteria, we must have the ammunition these organs require to go on the offense. One of the most glaring elements required is one which is most depleted by the refined carbohydrates. This is ionized calcium. Don’t confuse this with elemental calcium.
We see so many calcium supplements which do absolutely nothing except accumulate in the joints, kidneys, and gallbladder. Calcium carbonate is limestone. This is not digestible and causes more harm than good. Calcium lactate is easily ionized in the presence of polyunsaturated fats like flax seed oil. The use of both calcium lactate and cataplex F are two legs of the immune triad Dr Royal Lee spoke of.
In the presence of fever, these two products can readily reduce the fever as they assist in the phagocytosis of viruses and bacteria. We’ve seen excellent response with these in the case of herpes virus. In Children with fever, this is my first approach as these give the organs of immunity the ammunition they need.
In the journal Endocrine, May 2020, the title, “Hypocalcemia is highly prevalent and predicts hospitalization in patients with COVID-19” states the calcium played a central role in viral infectious and replicative mechanisms of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and Ebolavirus. This showed 60% hypocalcemia on admission and 70% during hospitalization. The article goes on to show hypocalcemia was found to be associated with mortality and ICU admission. They make the comment that this may have a negative impact on cardiac outcomes and may be even lethal when severe and acute, suggesting calcium monitoring and adequate supplementation when indicated and in all hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
The tragedy of this lies in the fact that even with all this research available to the mainstream health care system, we don’t see any of this being implemented in our hospitals. Instead, drugs which do nothing to restore the body’s defenses, but create damage to the liver, bones, spleen, and all the other organs of defense, continue to be used with no real beneficial results. We must do all we can to protect the body we’ve been given. Nourish it! Feed it real food. Avoid the toxic dead foods.
