Understanding Your Immune System
Adam Burton • June 4, 2020
This is a subtitle for your new post
Reminder: When babies crawl on the floor and put their hands in their mouth they are building their immune system.
When a baby comes out the womb it has almost no immune system but it is developed by touching and interacting with the elements around, touching their eyes, mouth etc
The more you expose your body to antigens, viruses and bacteria the stronger your immune system gets. (We’ve known this for years)
We are exposed to millions of bacteria and viruses daily. We shake hands, we touch doorknobs , light switches etc.
When you stop having this interaction with people and the outside world - the immune system goes down
So we are using Lysol wipes to kill the exact things we need to survive long-term. (If you have a normal functioning immune system you need interaction!)
As we come out of shelter and start back trading viruses and bacteria what do you think will happen with a lower immune system ? 🤔

Introduction
Introduction- Vitamin D: The vitamin & Hormone ⬇️ Vitamin D or Cholecalciferol. The name has "chole" attached to it because cholesterol is tied to it...meaning you need cholesterol to have good Vitamin D and vice-versa. 🙂 Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has two forms: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Fat soluble means that the vitamin requires proper amounts of fat to be absorbed properly- they are stored in fatty tissue. Although many doctors may give an injection/pill of the vitamin D2 form, this form doesn’t have long-lasting effects in the body. The body prefers vitamin D3, which you can only get from the sun and animal products naturally. Vitamin D is the only vitamin that can be obtained from sunshine – and the only vitamin that is considered a hormone. Vitamin D2 may be found in some plant foods as well as some supplements. Vitamin D3 is found in animal foods, eggs, fish and in supplements. Be aware that the supplement Vitamin D3 is not always the same as getting it from food. "The body prefers vitamin D3.. which you can only get from the sun and animal products naturally. "
