Welcome to the Dr. Berg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Dr. Eric Berg.

Now, this is an interesting topic that stress can actually activate mostly viruses,

but some bacterias, and induce infection.

We have TB, which is triggered by stress.

Herpes simplex, like you think, coleslaw, which is very common.

In fact, I think from that mistake, 90% of the population has that virus.

Shingles, which comes out during stress, which is caused by a virus,

it hangs out in a dormant stage, and it's activated when you go through stress.

H. Pylori, which can trigger an ulcer.

This is why when you go through stress, sometimes a stress can cause an ulcer.

And then the common cold.

In fact, there's an interesting study, which I'll put down below,

that is the activation of a cold, and the severity is directly related to the proportion of stress

that a person can go through.

Now, not everyone who gets stressed gets the cold, but it's very common that you get stressed,

and then you get the cold, which mostly comes from a rhino virus,

which affects the upper respiratory system, and even move to the lower respiratory system.

The new HIV, which is not caused by stress, but it can actually trigger HIV going into AIDS,

which is a condition where you have no more immune system,

so you get all sorts of complications.
