welcome today we're going to take a look
at your immune system under the
microscope so what you're seeing on your
screen here are a bunch of red blood
cells that deliver vital oxygen to our
body the moving cell there is a
lymphocyte that's your immune system
that's what it looks like under the
microscope so it's job is to go in
between all of these cells in your lymph
system and start cleaning up if you will
what you don't see is that it's swimming
in water that's why we need to drink
water when we get sick well you just saw
there's a lymphocyte that's changing
direction that's showing intelligence
it's got a signal called chemotaxis to
go clean up a mess and that's what it is
right there cellular debris so what
you're seeing there is that lymphocytes
starting to break down and clean up all
that cellular read just like a car that
uses gas there's exhaust all of our
cells use fuel and then there's
byproducts and metabolism this little
stick figure that is streptococcus
that's your immune system taking care of
bacteria look how it goes and protects
you by envelope in itself around the
bacteria now this is a picture of
natural cell death this is apoptosis
this is a cell just watch the edges of
the cells there it's about to die and
what a lot of people don't know is that
our cells are replaced every so often
red blood cells every 149 days other
cells may take years but our cells are
replaced with whatever we've been eating
at the time and so it's important to
know that these lymphocytes have to go
in and clean up all of these cells and
we have trillions of cells I joke around
with my kids and I say you know I want
you guys to clean your room as well as
your lymphocytes clean theirs and this
is what we see trillions of cells being
cleaned up and this is why it's so
important to eat a healthy diet with
real Whole Foods because our cells need
those big building blocks not fake foods
they're going to break down and add more
work to your lymphocytes when your
immune system gets overworked then it
can't protect you as well what you're
seeing here on the screen is natural
cell division and in step
dividing properly you'll see at the
middle of the screen it stays conjoined
and it becomes what's called a by
nucleated cancer cell those two dark
circles those are the nuclei the
lymphocytes that are circled there those
are inside the cancer cell and that
arrow points to the cell membrane and
the lymphocyte on the outside is trying
to get in watch how it pokes multiple
times we count seven times it pokes to
try and get in if your immune system is
weak it can't get in if it's strong it
can get in and start to help to defend
against the cancer and so this is why
it's so important to really help keep
your immune system strong what wrecks
your immune system stress you can see
here that it's gotten inside and now
it's high-fiving the other lymphocytes
we pull the camera back and we can see
that we've now got tissue that's
cancerous not the size of a tumor yet
this is still neuro microscope but it's
tissue and all those moving things are
the lymphocytes and what you just saw
there is implosion from the inside out
this is natural killer cells of your
immune system killing cancer so we put
an instant replay on there this is
cancer dying we now know that to help
put our chances of not getting cancer up
to the highest we need to keep our
immune system strong and like I said
what impacts immune system stress mental
chemical and physical stress when you
get sick what do they tell you to do
drink lots of water because those
lymphocytes need to be able to swim
around and get to where they need to get
to get lots of rest that way you have
less by approximate ab ilysm so there's
less work for the websites to have to
clean up and that allows for your immune
system to recover and then also what do
they say take antioxidants vitamin C
things like that why because
antioxidants is what feeds your immune
system that's what makes them stronger
so in today's world we need to avoid the
chemical stressors like sugar and fake
food and add things like fruits and
vegetables organic fruits and vegetables
and supplement them with good
antioxidant supplements to keep our
immune system strong I hope you enjoyed
this video and please take care of your
immune system
you
