Summary
If you understand how viruses work, the question becomes, “What tools would you be willing to use to stop them?” In this episode of the Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition Podcast, we roll out the best knowledge and tools to protect yourself against the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections. Join Dr. Jockers for a quick breakdown of how these infections work, followed by a tour of your “weapons room” where you can build a fortress of protection around your immune system!
“The body’s reaction to COVID-19 produces inflammatory markers, which release more cytokines. You keep ‘hitting the gas,’ with no brakes; it’s a massive overreaction. It’s not common for most individuals, but it’s something we need to keep under control, or it can cause significant damage to lung tissue.” – Dr. Jockers

| 0:00.0 | when we have too much cytokines, it ends up damaging the epithelial layer. So it becomes more permeable. |
| 0:07.5 | And then bacteria are able to seep through and then, you know, really damage the lungs, right? |
| 0:15.2 | The actual lung tissue itself. |
| 0:18.6 | Hello and welcome to the Dr. Jocker functional nutrition podcast, the show designed to give you |
| 0:25.3 | science-based solutions to improve your health and life. I'm David Jockers, doctor of natural medicine, |
| 0:32.3 | chiropractor, and functional nutritionist, and I'm the host on this podcast. And I'm here to tell you that your |
| 0:38.5 | body was created to heal itself. And on this show, we focus on strategies you can apply today |
| 0:43.9 | to heal and function at your best. Thanks for spending time with me. And let's go into the show. |
| 1:02.9 | Well, hey, everybody. Today I'm talking about the best immune nutrients to calm COVID-19 and the cytokine storm. And so there was a recent study that was published that I'm going to go |
| 1:09.1 | through that actually looks at |
| 1:11.1 | the top nutrients and how they protect against the spike protein and all the other membrane-bound |
| 1:18.1 | proteins on the coronavirus, the novel coronavirus 19, and how they interact with the cell. I'm also |
| 1:26.4 | going to talk about some of the confusion around |
| 1:29.9 | elderberry. So a lot of people have been putting out misinformation on elderberry and how it may |
| 1:35.5 | trigger a cytokine storm. So we'll discuss that. We're going to talk about a cytokine storm, |
| 1:39.8 | what that is and how that can, in fact, your body as well. And so we're going to begin by looking at a |
| 1:45.3 | virus. And so, you know, viruses are more than a hundred times smaller than bacteria. |
| 1:51.8 | They don't have all the characteristics to be living cells. And they are intracellular parasites. |
| 1:57.6 | So bacteria, you know, worms, amoeba, things like that, they all live inside |
| 2:04.5 | of tissues, whereas, like, for example, the gut lining or the liver, whereas viruses actually |
| 2:10.2 | go in the cell and then they drop their DNA or RNA. Okay. And so this is kind of how the virus works, gets into the cell, |
| 2:19.4 | and it has all these different spike glycoproteins that interact with different receptors on the |
