Viruses Love Sugar by Tatia Nelson, M.H.
When viruses hit and you are trying to restore health, bingeing on sugar like it’s Halloween night is not the best idea.
In 2018, a scientific study concluded that, “A high-sugar diet (HSD)...severely threatens human health.” (1) The most concerning results of a similar study showed it can interfere with immune system communication, especially pathways that respond to influenza viruses. (2)
So, bingeing on sugar could give viruses a great advantage. (3) Since January 2020, people have been flooding health food stores to find antivirals or to boost their immune system with herbs, supplements, food, sanitation supplies, and anything needed to quarantine. You think toilet paper goes fast? You should see the immunity section.It is interesting that all the sweets and treats are selling out too. Why the sugar rush? Aren’t we trying to build immunity, not impair it?Dr. John R. Christopher, the founder of the School of Natural Healing, always taught what to do for illnesses and what not to do.The immune system can be hindered for 1 to 2 hours after consuming too much sugar and these effects linger 5 hours later. During this time a high sugar diet interferes with immune
communication, but it also dumps filth into the body. Sugar breaks down into toxic acids like lactic acid, butyric acid, and aspartic acid.
The lymphatic system helps clean up these acids much like taking out the trash in your home. If piles of trash stack up, as is the case with a high sugar diet, it takes extra energy and resources to remove it. In fact, “the trash” now becomes the new priority of the immune system until the mess is cleaned up. Whenever the immune system turns its attention away from a full-blown attack against pathogens, like viruses, it is not to your advantage. (4) An high sugar diet suppresses the production of immune cells like T-cells, B cells, NK cells, and specifically phagocytes. These are the “garbage men” of the immune system. Remember the game Pac-man? A character goes around eating things in its pathway. This is how phagocytes work. They travel around eating viruses, bacteria, and all sorts of garbage. (5) This helps clean up the body and gives a great advantage to the immune system. We need as many phagocytes on our side as we can get, but high blood sugars lower their production. Not only that, studies show that high blood sugars impair phagocytes from doing their jobs.When you are trying to decide what to do for your immune system, consider cutting out refined sugars--especially when you want to empower your immunity. Take a No-Sugar challenge today. Eliminate refined sugars for 5 days. I bet you will feel a lot healthier when you are done!

Build Immune Health
What to Do if You Have a Weakened Immune system from Underlying health Condition?
The Science Behind Using Supplements for nerve damage
There are many reasons for nerve damage - too much sugar in the blood, chemotherapy, some cholesterol drugs, injuries, etc. etc. etc. The damage to the nerve cells create some common side effects of burning, numbness, tingling, sharp pains and cramps, etc. etc. You can read about it here Neuropathy
No matter the cause of the nerve damage, the symptoms are similar and the supplements needed by the body to create healthy nevers again are the same.
But, where is the original science that supports this. We could tell you success after success, but thought you might like to see the original clinical trials that came up with this.
In order to show this, I'm referring you to a website on the internet that publishes the trials done in the research.
I've given you the titles, but also the exact terms you need to put into the search bar on the website so you can view the original work done.

SOUTH AFRICA’S POLICE STOP CRIME AT ITS ROOT
Training gives the South African Police Service a way to reduce drugs and crime in the nation by reaching youth before drugs do.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has no small job. According to South Africa’s Central Drug Authority, the country “is among the top 10 narcotics and alcohol abusers in the world, twice that of the world norm.” And they start young, with the average age of drug experimentation being 12—and trending even younger.
The national SAPS wanted to change this, starting with Gauteng Province, home to the two largest cities in the nation—Pretoria, the administrative capital, and Johannesburg, the most populous city. Gauteng also ranks second among all South African provinces for drug-related crime and first for incidents of impaired driving.
To create real change, SAPS knew they needed to start at the beginning, reaching youth before drugs do, thereby stopping drug-related crime on the demand side of the problem. Why arrest them when you can educate them beforehand on the actual harm drugs do?

Damaged Cell Receptors and Diabetes
Certain diabetic medications increases insulin secretion while others try to get the body to use it's own insulin more effectively and insulin injections are just that, more insulin.
Medical doctors usually try the oral medications first and when those are no longer effective or maxed out they then proceed onto insulin injections.
There can be a lot of insulin in the body, but the body is insulin resistant because of damaged cell receptors that don’t allow the insulin to do the job it needs to.
These medications introduce more insulin to force the sugar out of the body into the now damaged cell receptors. Your body just ends up building up more and more insulin resistance/tolerance so that the level of oral medications or injections only go up and up.
High sugar levels are only a symptom of the diabetic condition, they are not the diabetic condition itself!
Using drugs to keep the blood sugar down is like having a fire burning in the living room and turning on the exhaust fan in the kitchen to pull the smoke out of the house. The fan pulls out the smoke (a symptom of the fire) but the fire is still burning, and will consume the house unless it is handled.
In the same way, the diabetic condition continues to get worse, until it (not just a symptom) is addressed and handled. You can see the progression in many cases, where the amount of medication needed to control blood sugar levels continues to increase, because the condition has not yet been handled.
What needs to happen is the body needs to resensitize the cells to the insulin your body is making and as a result will lower your blood sugar levels.
Diet needs to be used to give you body a rest so that it isn’t dealing with a high amounts of sugar coming in. A low carbohydrate diet 20-30 carbohydrates a day is recommended until the cells repair themselves. Carbohydrates are just long chains of sugar molecules.

What You Can Do to Boost the Effectiveness of Vitamin C
In numerous studies, vitamin C has been shown to protect against infection, the common cold, and support a healthy cardiovascular system, when taken correctly.
It's important to know how much to take and how often to take it.
The following excerpts are from studies done using ascorbic acid or ascorbate, two common forms of "vitamin C".
"Higher levels of vitamin C can be protective against damage to blood vessels, and greatly reduce death rates in the elderly."
"Blood levels [of vitamin C] increase substantially with a larger dose and these higher amounts are excreted more quickly."
"A 1,250 mg dose raises blood levels more than a 200 mg dose for the first six hours. Larger doses provide an even bigger increase in blood levels in the first six hour period."
"For the second six hour period, these and even higher doses give similar blood levels."
How can this be? How can you take a 1,250 mg dose (or even two, three or four times this amount) or as little as a 200 mg dose and have virtually no vitamin C in the blood after six hours? There is a reason:
"Vitamin C has a short half-life in the blood."
A "half-life" is the amount of time it takes for half of the vitamin C to be depleted from the blood stream. The half-life of vitamin C in the blood is 30 minutes.
This means that every 30 minutes there is only one-half of the vitamin C left!
As an example, say you start with 1,250 mg of vitamin C in your blood stream. In 30 minutes you have only 625 mg left. After 30 more minutes you have only 312 mgs. In another 30 minutes you're down to 156 mg (that's after only 1 hour and 30 minutes).
If you continue reducing by half every 30 minutes, six hours after you took the initial amount of 1,250 mg of vitamin C, the amount left in your blood stream is less than 0.5 mg. Basically there is nothing left.
"Taking an oral dose will raise blood levels for only a few hours."
"The benefit of a single dose is short lived. If high levels of vitamin C provide protection against the common cold, then a single multi-gram dose of vitamin C would have little more effectiveness than a 500 mg dose."
"In the prevention of colds and other diseases, if a single dose of vitamin C raises blood levels for about six hours or one quarter of the day, the person is unprotected for the other three quarters of the time."
"Five 100 mg doses taken at intervals through the day would raise average blood levels more than a single one-gram dose."

Sidebar: Nerve Damage - Why R-Alpha Lipoic and Acetyl L-Carnitine
If you have nerve damage, R-Alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine are two key supplements that you should add to your daily routine. Evidence indicates that alpha lipoic acid has an ability to kill free-radicals which may help provide added nutritional support to people who have nerve damage in the arms and legs, such as:
- pain
- burning
- itching
- tingling
- numbnessAlpha lipioc acid comes in two forms. R and S. Alpha lipoic acid is a combination of these two forms. Most supplements have alpha lipoic acid with both forms, not just the R form. The R form of alpha lipoic acid is the form normally found in the body. Studies indicate the R-alpha lipoic acid form appears to be better absorbed than the combination of R and S alpha lipoic acid.
Additionally, some small preliminary studies suggest acetyl L-carnitine may help provide nutritional support to people with pain and who want to improve feeling in affected nerves. It is also possible that acetyl L-carnitine can help nerves regenerate. The Nerve & Energy Booster is a nutritional supplement which contains acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid (the better, more absorbable form of R-alpha lipoic acid).Find out more and order the Nerve & Energy BoosterOr you can call us at (888) 758-5590 or (818) 252-1038.If you have questions, you can always call and speak to one of our Wellness Consultants.We're here to help you get the results you want.Email or call us
