00:01 Our immune system is fortified with a good defense team.
00:05 B team and T cells and, but sometimes TB crews 00:09 go AWAL that means Absence Without Authorized Leaves. 00:13 How can they leave the defense team? 00:15 Well, today's program is entitled how to weaken 00:19 your immunity, so stay by. 00:53 Hi, welcome to abundant living, this is Curtis Eakins 00:55 and I like you introduce my beautiful wife Paula Eakins. 00:59 You doing alright today honey? 01:01 I'm doing wonderful. You are looking mighty good too? 01:03 Thank you. Praise the lord. 01:05 Now this is a part two. Part two. To part one. 01:07 Yes. We talk before kind of about immune system. 01:12 Okay. And I guess the ones that might have missed that, 01:15 you might want talk a little bit about, 01:16 give me little bit review. Okay, just a review, now 01:19 of course last time we met, just how to build a 01:22 strong immunity? And in our program we talk about 01:25 a first nutrition therapy and particularly your fruits 01:29 and vegetables they have a high antioxidant content, 01:33 high anticancer content as well. We talked about 01:37 the immune system and relationship to oncology, 01:40 cancer in particular, but in particular beside the 01:44 Carotenoids or Carotenes, what are those carotenes, honey? 01:47 Well, we talked about the carrots in this, well the all 01:50 the yellow and orange carotenoids, carrots orange, 01:53 and we talked about the squash and we talked 01:55 about the, the scallions, and all the tomato family. 02:00 Everything is yellow and orange and reds 02:02 and even sometimes camouflaged in dark leafy green. 02:06 That's right. Okay, so you got the pumpkin, 02:08 yellow squash and all those things. 02:10 Those are provitamin A foods that will strengthen 02:13 the immune system, carrot is number one 02:16 in that category. Also, we talked about going to bed 02:19 at a descent hour and what time is that honey? 02:23 Before 10. Not past, before 10 yeah because after 10 it 02:25 starts going downhill so, that goes your interest, 02:27 yeah, we need that rest folks because when we rest 02:30 of course it builds immune system have to fortify it 02:33 as well. Then also we talked about exercise, walking 02:37 because the lymphatic system does not have 02:40 a pumping action. The heart pumps the blood 02:44 through the vessels but the lymphatic system 02:46 which also cares the immune cells does not have 02:49 a pumping action so of course we have to do that 02:51 ourselves through walking. Brisk walking preferably in 02:56 open air. Also we talked about 02:58 the stress factor having a good positive attitude 03:03 and so again a lot of people going through different 03:06 changes when it comes to cancer oncology 03:08 and hear the news and then sometimes the fear of it 03:11 coming back to recur, so again we want to rely on 03:14 the Lord that He has our case. So, whatever happens, 03:19 he is in control, let him have it and then just 03:22 let it stay there with him and he will safeguard us 03:26 and he will keep us at a calm, peace state of mind. 03:31 We also talked about herb medicine and you called, 03:33 yes, that a special herb. Yes a special herb is 03:36 Chinese herb called astragalus and lot of Chinese 03:39 doctors, Chinese oncologists over there 03:41 in China uses these herbs quite, although it's heavily 03:46 as far as to a cancer patients are concerned 03:49 and so they usually conjunction with other herb 03:52 particularly those who have been going through 03:54 chemotherapy. They have to restore the immune system 03:57 due to that conventional type of treatment. 04:00 So, again natural remedies are the way to go over medicine, 04:05 astragalus, so lot of these that we can do to strengthen 04:08 the immune system, but today's program is how to weaken, 04:11 hmmm, the immune system. Of course, now to weaken 04:15 it, just don't do the things we just mentioned. 04:17 We can go into the kitchen. Well, I think 04:19 the main thing is to just go ahead on once again 04:22 and talk about what foods will actually weaken 04:26 the immune system. Okay, so this is what 04:28 you don't need to do folks, how to weaken 04:31 the immunity? Now of course there has been lot of 04:34 clinical studies on how the immunity can be suppressed 04:37 or the depressed. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 04:41 had article on as far as certain foods that 04:45 will simply depress the immune system. 04:48 Now you have the fatty foods, the fried foods, 04:52 fried foods will cause few radicals and few radicals 04:55 is not good to, it has the immune system, 04:59 it simply weakens the immune system. 05:01 So, fried foods, fatty foods also foods 05:03 that come from the animal kingdom has arachidonic acid 05:06 and saturated fat and cholesterol all those type 05:09 of properties simply suppress the immune system. 05:13 So I'm going to go to a plant based source, 05:14 so that's how to weakened the immune system, 05:17 but one more thing I want to zero in 05:19 and when it comes to nutritional therapy 05:21 and that is SUGAR, Sugar. 05:27 Sugar, now I know just hurt someone's feeling 05:30 with that but folks truth must be told sugar depresses 05:35 the immune system. Let's go to our first graphic 05:38 and see how sugar can depress the immune system. 05:43 Now sugar 0 tsp where are germs can be eaten 14 germs 05:49 can be eaten if one does not take any refines sugars 05:53 at all alright, consumed, but now if we take in 6 tsp of sugar 06:00 that's about 1 can of Coke or 1 brownie then only 06:04 10 germs can be eaten or engulfed by the 06:09 white blood cells within 30 minutes. Hmm. 06:11 Now, let's drop down to 12 tsp that's about 2 cans 06:17 of Coke or 2 brownies then immune system 06:20 can only engulf only 5 germs in 30 minutes. 06:27 16 tsp 3 brownie or 3 Cokes they can only engulf 06:32 2 germs within 30 minutes, but now 24 tsp of sugar 06:38 which is about approximately 4 cans of coke 06:41 and these are 12 ounces just or 4 brownie approximately 06:46 the white blood cells the macrophage, the big eaters 06:48 can only engulf in 30 minutes 1 germ just by the sugar 06:55 intake so therefore thank you for the graphic, 06:58 therefore to weaken our immunity we must increase 07:05 our sugar content refined sugars that's how 07:08 we can weakened our immunity. I know that people have 07:13 to me things like I got to cold or I've got to flu 07:17 and we've also told them that let's kind to go back 07:20 and figure out what it was that might have 07:22 caused you to have to cold Okay. Not just the cold air 07:25 outside and one of things they will say 07:27 to me is that I ate too much sweets. Hmm. 07:30 And so that's incredible and when you talk about the 07:33 germ factor and the fact that the macrophage 07:36 actually they can only eat up so many germs so then 07:39 In 30 minutes. The more sugar we have the less germs, 07:43 it can eat which means it winds up making us sick. 07:45 Right so the immune system is now suppressed 07:48 therefore that's how we can weaken our immune system, 07:52 very profound. And sugar, sugar is everywhere. 07:55 Now of course you don't have to drink a Coke 07:56 or eat a brownie. Of course, sugar like you said before 07:59 we find sugars in lot of your fast food baked 08:04 goods and those kind of things so again that's why 08:07 on Abundant Living programs on 3ABN 08:11 not using and we not using lot of refined sugars 08:13 but sugars naturally come into the plant kingdom 08:17 in the form of fruit. And we had on a show. 08:21 Okay. We talking about sugars and once again 08:24 I love to go to stores and read those labels 08:26 and that was a an apple crisp in the store. Okay. 08:30 In the apple crisp why looked at on label 08:31 it had on there fructose, corn syrup solids, 08:37 corn syrup, dextrose, maltose, Galactose. 08:44 Galactose and then he said corn syrup solids. 08:50 Now that one fructose. Okay. 08:52 Because people call on the phone 08:54 and who ask me I know do you use fructose 08:56 or Florida Crystals on the program exactly... you know 08:59 when he say high fructose corn syrup isn't that 09:02 the same thing, fructose is a fruit sugar. Hmm. 09:06 Okay, derived form fruit. Okay. But when you see 09:08 the word high fructose corn syrup that's actually 09:12 fruit sugar with regular sugar added. 09:16 Now you talking about impounding on the problem. 09:19 Okay. And so in one item you can have about 5 to 6 09:22 different sugars and they just move them around 09:25 because they don't want you to know, you know what 09:27 is it the higher of the amount of whatever you using. 09:29 Right. That's be the first ingredient. 09:31 So they don't want you using all that sugar 09:32 so they spread it out with all different kind of names. 09:34 So by the time you put and collect them 09:36 altogether basically the entire item 09:39 is more sugar. And the immune system 09:41 is weakened by that. Yes. So that's how they can do it. 09:44 Yes, yes, yes, yes. So this today's program 09:46 is what you don't need to do. What you don't need to do. 09:49 What you don't need to do. What you don't need to do. 09:50 And you made a comment about that rest 09:52 so what if a person doesn't really want to go 09:54 bed at 10'0 clock. Well now there is problem 09:57 with that and I think we have a Bible text. 09:58 Let's look at the Bible text we're gonna talk about 10:01 that Bible text. Let's go to our next graphic at this time. 10:05 Stay up late this is how we can again weakened 10:08 our immunity Psalms 127 verse 2 NIV so simply 10:12 put folks here it is " In vain you rise early 10:18 and stay up late". I just simply put rise up early 10:24 and stay up late, now we talked about how to strengthen 10:29 the immunity by going to bed not past 10 o'clock 10:33 preferably before that. But now to weaken 10:36 the immunity of course it just opposite staying up late 10:39 and we said before when you stay up late 10:41 then of course the immune system 10:43 doesn't have a chance to regenerate itself. 10:47 It has to have proper sleep the body, otherwise is going to 10:52 be behind the game and of course the immune system 10:55 will be compromised. So staying up late... 10:58 and they did a study and this is interesting, 11:00 this is in the medical journey called 11:02 psychosomatic medicine where they took some 11:05 volunteers and they deprived him of one half 11:09 of there time sleeping time was deprive so they slept 11:14 8 hours they only gave them 4 hours of sleep 11:17 for one single night, the next day they check their blood 11:22 the natural killer cells had decreased by 30 percent. 11:28 Hmm. In one single night of not getting proper sleep 11:33 just one half and those natural killer cells 11:35 did not come up to is normalcy until they had a peaceful 11:40 restful sleep. One nights sleep, half to time 11:45 that you normally sleep... Natural killer cells and those 11:47 are powerful cells that were simply attack cancer cells 11:50 dropped 30 percent. So, again how to weakened 11:53 your immunity stay up late. Watch TV 11:57 and eat sugary foods. While we're on the subject 12:01 the sweet stuff how about drinking? 12:06 Oh well now drinking of course there is study done 12:10 several studies done or alcohol and when 12:12 one in just alcohol, alcohol also suppresses 12:17 and decreases the natural killer cells and 12:21 also the white blood cells, so again it drops drastically 12:25 by alcohol consumption, so again we want to be careful 12:28 as far as alcohol consumption. Now of course on 12:30 Abundant Living and 3ABN, we're not even talking moderation 12:33 of that's folks zero, zip, nota, that means nothing 12:38 alright, because we don't need that and what we need 12:42 is the fresh juice of the grape, unfermented, 12:45 that's fine but not fermented kind so... 12:47 But now we have one more graphic 12:48 we're going to the kitchen honey it's talking about 12:51 God's Word, God's Word had something say about how to also 12:55 weaken our immunity, this is profound let's go to our 12:57 last graphic at this time. 12:58 Get depressed try to weaken our immunity 13:03 Proverbs 17:22 excuse me, it says this 13:07 "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but 13:11 here is the flip side, a crushed Spirit dries up the bones." 13:18 Thank you for the graphic now this is interesting. 13:20 Let's look at Anatomy & Physiology. 13:22 while just about the save that a Crushed Spirit 13:27 dries up the bones? If we said before in our last program 13:31 white blood cells, the B cells are manufactured 13:35 in the bones, the bone marrow produces a lot 13:39 of fluid, if we are depressed and therefore we have 13:45 a negative pessimistic attitude it decreases 13:50 our white blood cells it says white blood cells 13:53 has a lot of fluid then our bones literally dry up. 13:59 So that text is scientifically sound, 14:02 therefore to have a weakened immunity 14:05 get depressed and stay that way. 14:08 Hmm, alright, have a bad attitude and that 14:11 will also weaken our immunity. 14:14 There was study done in Lancet Magazine 14:17 where they even checked the blood of those who were just 14:20 lost their mates either husband or wives or just 14:23 passed away and their white blood cells and 14:26 natural killer cells was decreased drastically because 14:29 of that event of the lost loved one. So again to weaken 14:33 immunity, get depressed, get stressed out. 14:37 But, now we don't want to do that but so therefore 14:40 it is like a catch 22, so anything we say 14:43 in this program don't do it. 14:48 Well, what you want to do then is catch the first program, 14:50 yeah, the first program, I mean if you get, 14:51 so both programs, yeah, really 14:53 go hand in hand. You go hand in hand. 14:54 They go hand in hand. But the recipe is different 14:56 on this program. That's right. 14:58 Because on this program we're actually gonna to do 14:59 a Fresh Fruit Tart get your paper and your pencil 15:04 and meet us in the kitchen. |
