Summary

Where did COVID come from? What can you do right now to make sure you can fight the virus, if you are ever infected? Should you get vaccinated? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Dr. Steven Quay and I discuss how the Coronavirus has been able to develop so quickly in the human body, the mechanisms of it, and how our immune system works to fight it. We talk about how exactly vaccines act to help our body fight viruses and how the antibody-dependent enhancement’s (ADE) unpredictability can affect people of different ages. Plus, Dr. Quay points out how the posture that we tend to hold during the day causes us to lose lung capacity. With our lungs and intercostal muscles being primordial to effectively fight the hazards of COVID, he suggests a yoga-based practice to help us develop both of these capacities. Dr. Steven Quay has over 360 published contributions to medicine, placing him in the top 1% of scientists worldwide. He holds 87 US patents and has invented seven FDA-approved pharmaceuticals which have helped over 80 million people. He is the author of the best-selling book on surviving the pandemic, Stay Safe: A Physician's Guide to Survive Coronavirus. What we discuss: 03:58: How can we train our body to help combat COVID and other respiratory diseases? 06:09: Aaron’s symptoms when he was infected with COVID 08:04: What does Dr. Quay recommend you do to fight Covid? 09:20: Supportive breathing practices you can start today 10:27: Where does the virus originate from? 15:19: What kind of repercussions has Dr. Quay faced for his scientific opinions? 17:59: What will the world be like post-vaccination? 19:06: Should young and healthy people take the vaccine? 20:35: The race between covid-2 vs the immune system 21:42: Are masks effective? 27:39: What does the future of the coronavirus look like? 30:41: The antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) 32:28: What is the virus’ infection mechanism? 34:39: Describing the 3 phases of the virus 36:09: The burden of COVID in our world and political implications 40:56: Physiologic response to the vaccine Vs developed immune response 47:03: Why did Dr. Quay write his book? 48:50: What can we do to protect ourselves if we suspect we were exposed to the virus? 49:55: Why does it turn into pneumonia? 52:31: The issue with western medicine not looking at the importance of nutrition 57:52: How the metro transport system could have been the conduit to spreading COVID in major cities Learn more about Dr. Steven Quay: Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Lion Podcast. My name is Aaron Alexander. This is a place that we bring together the world's leading experts in all things health and wellness to help you optimize your mind, body, and movement. Particular topic of today is one that I have been almost exclusively avoiding mentioning
0:16.9	in any type of public forum for pretty much the last nine months, eight months or so.
0:21.5	Just because I think it is so politically charged and people are
0:26.4	so vehemently opinionated from both sides.
0:29.0	So I tried to avoid the conversations almost entirely and just follow what feels appropriate for my own biology
0:35.8	and those of my loved ones but in this conversation I thought it would be
0:39.2	supported and valuable to get to share some questions with a world leading expert on the topics of
0:46.7	what the heck is going on in the world right now in immunology and biology and things of the
0:51.4	sort so had Dr Stephen Quay on the podcast.
0:55.5	He is the author of Stay Safe, a physician's guide to survive coronavirus.
1:00.0	He is an MD, he is a PhD, I'll raise his bio off of his book here.
1:04.8	He received his MD and PhD from the University of Michigan.
1:07.7	He's a postdoctoral fellow in the chemistry department at MIT with Nova Laureariat H. Gobine Corrana, and a resident at the Harvard
1:16.4	MGH Hospital. It's been almost a decade on faculty of Stanford University School of Medicine.
1:21.9	His contributions to Medicine
1:23.7	have been cited over 99 100 times.
1:27.2	At this point, it's probably much more than that,
1:28.6	I'd imagine, because this is an old bio.
1:30.3	He's been deeply engaged in Medicine for many years. I also appreciate his
1:34.3	perspectives because he's not 27 years old and an Instagram influencer. He's I don't know how
1:40.9	old he is exactly. I don't know I don't't want to guess, but he's like an elder.
1:44.4	It's been on the earth for longer than a lot of people that I know.
