What Actually Happens When You Are Sick?

[REDACTED]

hai!

First

HOW DID YOU POST THIS AN HOUR AGO

My Immune system loves me so much that it's willing to kill me to protect me

"I'm sorry little one" *kills me and himself but he saved us all*

Because it is operating in an environment it was not designed for. Stop feeding it sugar and refined grains and it will work a lot better. And fast a couple days a week. Helps with those grocery bills and activates your body's natural repair routines.

@@grugnotice7746 Immune systems still killed people before the modern world. In fact, a lot more often.

@@jakobkristensensandvik5588 Show me the studies. Or even the anecdotes.
Every medical miracle Jesus Christ was said to have performed was literally just him telling people to fast. All of the ancient doctors of Rome and Egypt knew that fasting was the best medicine. 2000 years later, we finally caught up, but most people don't want to hear it. They want a pill, not a minor modification to their habits. And the pill pushers are all too happy to oblige. They can't make money off of you NOT consuming something.

I second this request

I third this request

Ooh yea that would be interesting!

Enjoy your divorce. It's a blessing in this case😂

I'm sorry for your children, I hope you've raised well enough for them to understand how important vaccines are. Ignorance is hell.

I’m so sorry to hear that. This has also ruined my family relationships bc some of them love getting information from Facebook or Instagram…

You dodged half a bullet, that banshee gave you a kid, which is beautiful....unfortunately, you have to deal with said harpie till the kid is 18.

I'm pro vaccine except for the covid one. Everything just seemed so fishy about it. Untested and mutating but they found a vaccine so quick. I never got it

Skill issue

my body is targeting me lol I have to take a needle injection to basically weaken my immune system.

Autoimmune disease is the worst because the only way to diagnose something like, say, Lupus is to literally rule everything else out. This can be several months to years getting expensive and painful exams until they shrug and say “Guess you got lupus.”

Many diseases are just the body’s normal processes “breaking”. This happens in autoimmune, cancer, and most neurodegenerative diseases.

Like we've done to planet Earth.

@@Linkwii64 I think in that case, we are the infection. So the earths immune system is getting rid of us.

This channel is a propaganda piece for billioniares lmao.

Well-wishes to you, friend.

That must be too much to suffer. And here I am who gets dramatic over a sore throat (which I currently have at the time of writing this comment). I wish you get well soon!

Wish you well!

Sorry to hear that
My dad's immune system attacked a protein in his skin, horrible disease called bullous pemphigoid, unfortunately he didn't make it

My immune system was good now I get sick every couple of months

im sorry to hear about your mom, But also this terrifies me as I very very rarely get sick, I didnt even get covid without having any jabs (im not an anti vaxer, im just lazy 🤦‍♂) so i guess my immune system is gonna turn on me eventually.

Sorry for you both

Well this sort of makes sense. A military dictatorship with no regard for civilian casualties will do pretty well in war for awhile after its creation, but, you know, also has no regard for civilian casualties. It's not surprising that unleashing the stronger the immune system, the more dangerous it is to the body.

Congrats! I'm sick too and I'm watching this lol💀😭

I'm so sorry to hear this

I had the same thing… contracted it from playing spin the bottle. I got to kiss my crush, but at what cost…

Same thing happened to me. Glandular fever and then years later, boom, autoimmune diseases. Fortunately, they are finally studying the role viruses play in triggering autoimmune diseases, and contracting MS has been confirmed to be correlated with acquiring an epstein-barr virus infection.

I'm sorry to hear this. My daughter had epstien-barr virus and a year later starting suffering from CFS/ME. It hasn't been as severe as some other cases I've read about but it still impacts on her life all these years later. You feel absolutely helpless. I can only hope that long COVID helps trigger more funding/research into auto immune responses. It's obviously a very complex issue

Yeah it got me CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Not fun

Thats why we should listen to doctors and cdc guidelines when they tell us its best to mask up

The flu cannot cause those injuries. You were injured by something else. Something that we are not allowed to say on this platform - but you should also know, that the producer of this video has received half $1 million in funding from the Bill Gates foundation

@@xasia_ except studies have come out that state masks weren't even helpful

And yet some commenters claim that the mention of covid is propaganda. It's just facts that they don't like, and as they say, facts don't care about your feelings.

Lol

Yes, please!

He did it, kinda

Nice

Very good

Great

You make a very valid point. In many societies, there is a culture of valuing productivity and pushing through illness or discomfort to meet obligations and responsibilities. However, listening to our bodies and taking the time to rest and recover when we are sick is important for our overall health and well-being.
When we are fighting off an infection, our immune system is working hard to combat the invading pathogen. This can take a toll on our body, resulting in fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. Pushing through these symptoms and continuing to go to work or school can prolong the illness and make it more difficult to recover.
Taking the time to rest and care for ourselves when we are sick can help us recover more quickly and prevent the spread of illness to others. It is important to prioritize our health and well-being, even if it means taking a break from our usual responsibilities for a short time.
While it may be difficult to change societal attitudes towards productivity and illness, we can start by setting boundaries for ourselves and prioritizing our health. This can involve communicating our needs to others, taking sick days when necessary, and practicing self-care to promote healing and recovery.

It is not just productivity that makes humans RESTLESS 😖. 🥲

@@ReplyGPT wtf, thought this was an actual person 😭 that s is pretty ironic

My dad had to take 10 sick days last year, and because of that he has lost not only his monthly markup but also a markup for the entire year. That was two months worth of wages. That's insane. Now he takes paid leaves whenever he feels ill. Old man barely sleeps these days, overworking himself to death, and that's how the employer treats him. Ugh.

​@@ReplyGPT fun bit deserves a sub

they are the ones that should be thanking us ya goof

God so true, when i was sleep deprived i was getting sick every 2 months it was horrible

most valuable comment ;)

And laugh. Your natural killer cells are more active when you're happy.

Sadly I struggle to sleep and I've done everything to try & stop it but nothing works so

Also, when you sleep, the body makes more cells that identifies what's a pathogen and what's not. That's part of the reason why you die if you don't sleep for a few days, because your body won't be fighting the pathogens in your body if no cell told the immune system that certain micro-organisms are hostile to the body.

I’ve been watching these guys for a while now but I find the fact that they didn’t even mention having a healthy lifestyle which has been proven to immensely boost your immune system and health in general, quite disappointing.
Eating unprocessed, natural, healthy foods while getting regular excessive can decrease your chances of dying to illnesses drastically, I mean just by not being obese you are 40% less likely to contract covid when exposed to it. The fact that 41.9% of adults in America are obese and they didn’t even clarify this in their video, only focusing on vaccines despite the covid vaccines being very controversial due to the shady nature of Phzier and the censorship of information on lobbying ect. and also 16.0% of female participants reporting LTAEs which were mainly fatigue, menstrual disturbances, myalgia, arthralgia, dizziness, and headaches, is just shocking and seems misinformative to be putting this out.

​@@Fleetstreetbestone Which is totally related to autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes. Also, did you know 17.4% of statistics are made up on the spot? Crazy, I know.

@@pyrodrayson3216 Did you know that being a fat fuck isn’t healthy for you crazy I know but 41.9% of people are, that’s capitalism and misinformation at its finest.

@@Fleetstreetbestone Triggered. XD

@@Fleetstreetbestone Because unfortunately even if you have a healthy lifestyle you can still develop auto immune disease. People can be in perfect health and get an Ebola infection, mould infection or a covid infection and develop auto immune disease. Could largely be based on complete random factors like genetics, variants, stress, environment etc

theres a term in medicine called "signs" which is what the doctor sees on the patient that helps them figure out whats happening, and usually are completely different from the symptoms which is what the patient sees

"immune system successfully defeating it" - no that's your immune system TRYING to defeat it. Having a fever or cold doesn't mean you've successfully defeated it by any stretch.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn If it wasn't successful then you'd eventually have symptoms from the illness itself

@@Cgeta4 regardless successful or not you still feel these symptoms that your body is fighting the virus

@@ArawnOfAnnwn Well, I mean, if the infection is not "defeated" enough you die.
So if you were ill and you're not dead, your immune system kinda probably thwarted it.
Although there are diseases like HIV that attack the immune system itself, so it may seem like the battle is over, but it was actually it was the immune system that was defeated and you will die soon anyway (unless you are properly treated with medicine).
Some other infections (HIV again, but also herpes) may seem "defeated" but actually just became dormant and may resurface later on. Some of them are manageable, others - not so much.
Also note that not all diseases are infectious ones, so the metaphor doesn't always work. Immune system cannot do much to a bullet (except fight off infections that got in with it). And whatever cancers immune system cannot clear early on will probably evolve enough to evade it entirely.

​@@Gg-ij7li god is dead.

​@@Gg-ij7li yes I believe and I know Jesus

No it's a better art style now

Man the nostalgia

Excuse-me doc, genuine question: is this “sugar causing energy peaks” thing real or fake? I’ve heard both versions and have no idea what to believe

​@@imperius1490 it's not based in science. Just a common stereotype. I think the simplest explanation is that kids eat a lot of sugary foods at parties, and also happen to be pretty excitable at parties. It's not the Sugar.
Of course eating lots of calories can also make you crash later on which is why sugar is also associated with mood

war is actually extremely profitable and has been throughout history so thats a poor analogy

@@ShaunYoung makes sense. Ty!

@@imperius1490 Shaun's right. It's a misconception, but people make the connection in the analogy none-the-less. * Thumbs Up *

*LOSE

Honestly when I read that part in the bhook it not only surprised me but also scared me.
This book honestly made me learn a lot about the immune system that I didn'T knew about and that'S honestly a game changer

I've been on a particular medication for an autoimmune condition and actually lost my measles immunity! I can't get re-vaccinated because I cannot have live-attenuated vaccines, means I have to be extra careful if there is ever a local outbreak

While the book has some incredible insights and cool bits of information about the way the immune system is set up, I personally hated the writing style. It takes several detours and makes several unnecessary analogies to get to every single, fairly straightforward point. It's like it was written for primary school students, not all ages. It's still a great way to support the channel and I don't regret buying it, but unfortunately, it's pretty bad both as a pastime and as a source of information.

Can confirm this!
Outside of when I was a small kid, I've had severe diarrhoea (as in, several days of going to the toilet every 30 minutes) twice in my life. And both of those times were within three years after I got measles. (and I didn't even get them all that severely because I'd received my first measles vaccination a week or two before I was infected - and for those who are no doubt going to wonder, there were medical reasons why I didn't receive the measles vaccination as a kid, and the decision predated that fraud paper anyway)

Very difficult to do/prove causality

Yes! The subject that studies this is called psychoneuroendochrinoimmunology (PNEI)

stress made people stupid and weak, like the whole covid and vaccination BS

@Sebo You're getting confused between correlation and cause & effect. Easily done.

@Sebo that's very strong correlation but still can't be called causation bc you need some kind of theory that explains the process. You can find strong correlation between many other things and still no causation.

I disagree. Still a good book, but not the best one out there. However, for that level it is probably. If you go up a bit on the complexity scale, then there's other books which are great out there.

@@Nexofloof for example which one

​@@marcusstone6273 would love to buy that book if he/she tells.

​@@Nexofloof Which other books would you recommend?

@@marcusstone6273 The Song of The Cell and all. However, there's also text books.

🙏❤️

They do videos on things that affect the majority of the planet, unfortunately (or more accurately, fortunately), autoimmune diseases don't.

@@chattaboxxx2332
Thats just untrue

I have lupus. Every time I get sick, like a simple cold takes 1 week for me to get better. I caught a cold once that turned into the flu which turned int pneumonia. I spent 4 days in the hospital as my lungs were completely filled with fluid. And I was even under a doctor's care at the time who refused to give me antibiotics. I have found that antibiotics help by increasing my immune system, or helping it along. In a way the pandemic was a bit of godsend. For 2 years I never got sick because I almost never went outside except for the supermarket. This last year I have gotten sick a couple of times, but I've had all my booster for Covid and the flu shot. The most I was sick was 2 days which I cannot remember ever happening.
I wish, though, that I didn't have to live in a bubble. I wish people would take common sense precautions. If you're sick, stay home! I'm a tutor and cannot tell you how many times students show up sick. Sure I lose money if they don't come to class, but if I get sick my loses are even greater. Or if you are sick and must go out, wear a mask! Wearing a mask has nothing to do with your personal freedom, it is simply common sense.

T1D here so I feel that

Same! I'm pursuing my degree in biotechnology, and I will be getting my associates in 3 months. I'm glad I'm not the only one looking to expand the field of bacteriophages in human medical care.

@@dragon-like-tendencies9519 best of luck! Me too! Initially my research proposal was about isolation and analysis of bacteriophages but then it was changed to drug target identification. But truly the initial inspiration for me was that video!

Yeah the quality of these videos has always been good, but this one really shows how advanced the animation and writing has become.

@@G36Kaers bot

Damn in sorry about that James. Your mom sounds like a dope person.

Probably pain caused by inflammation too

You shouldn't just make theories going from your personal experience.
By that theory it would make just as sense for your body to make moving hard so you don't waste energy.
"Common sense" arguments without further proof are quite useless...

@@cyan_oxy6734 that’s makes sense also🤷🏿‍♂️

Or why I’m not hungry when I have the flu

@@cyan_oxy6734 That also makes sense. -_-

I need to get that book.

Hard agree. Before that book, I didn't even know what the lymph system was or what it did, beyond the existence of lymph nodes.

@@Casocki what's the book's name?

Agree. The book was the best.

Which book?

To the first one: Collateral damage everywhere in the body.

Also need to incorporate how diet and exercise really boost your chances of surviving infections as well.

And by "diabetes", it means how excessive sugar disrupts many body functions.

That is called "taking a medical history" and the questioning justifies billing you for the "visit". Cha-ching!

​@@beepbop6697Other than that trickery, the answers should be on the patients chart after the first two people asked.

That’s concerning that their textbook was sufficient to pass nursing school classes.

​@@emilie6466 it helped her with understanding it better. Read before you comment

@Somar in the first sentence or so it says that she passed microbiology and pathology with the book

@@emilie6466 their book alone did not help me pass. The Immune System is a specific unit in each of those classes, and this book helped me when it came to that unit because i had a better understanding. I never said their book was my sole resource.

@@pjkarate9974 don't take things out of context. Correct yourself

At least in theory.

🤣

​@@Toonrick12 Nope always in practicality.

@@nishant54 Some diseases specifically target your immune system, like HIV, certain cancers and even Measles, or people on suppressors for transplants.

And for some people it's abusive, so realistic!

Some research suggests they could have applications for immunomodulation as well, but we already have biologics (-amab) that cost thousands as the preferred treatment

I am pretty sure they had a video of a similar concept, I think it was their war on drugs one? It's been a while, I think I remember them talking about rats that avoid drugs if they are happy but take them when they are mistreated or sad

Indeed Philipp Dettmer is very good at writing scripts, especially his book,

They already have released several instalments in their immunology series, including one about the book. I do agree tho, its a fascinating topic and Dettmer writes extremely well

>Funded by Gates Foundation
>Exaggerates Covid's lethality
>Presents a black and white fallacy implying your only two options are getting a vaccine or getting the disease
>Glosses over the potentially dangerous and lethal side-effects of vaccines, both short and long term
>Zero mention of how exercise and healthy dieting drastically boost your immune system
How anyone can watch this channel without having even a hint of skepticism or mistrust is beyond me.

I bought their book on it. It's amazing!

@@ammaranwar5343 I know right? Amazing drawings and images and very good facts that are easy to understand and digest

Yet another video telling us that vaccines are nothing but good and that completely brushes off all side effects as such a tiny problem that it's not worth even considering the alternative.

@@gideonc847 yeah. I really want a part 2! Hope they release one soon.

@@ammaranwar5343 me too!

@Ben - How did that Wren organization create a conflict of interest for you?

@@MossyMozart I think they're talking about corporations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Open Philanthropy, and especially with videos on controversial or subjective topics that have room for biased data (e.g. climate change, vaccines, etc).
I doubt this video is one of those though, as the main topics presented are based on solid facts rather than subjective personal preference. They do talk about climate change in the sponsorship part though, but that has nothing to do with the video itself (or at least I think it doesn't, I can't think of how a sponsorship about a totally different subject can affect the overall video and the things its trying to present).

Same here :D it's why I started studying microbiology in university, it's crazy how there's only 11 people on my course out of the hundreds that do biological sciences

@Ben well, while i won't comment on the corporate sponsorship issue, you can at least feel better knowing the channel itself was originally created in the interest in this specific topic (immunology)

@@N3bulA_ This video goes straight to vaccination and ignores the fact that the best thing you can do for your immune system is to exercise, not be obese, having a healthy diet, and maintaining proper levels of essential vitamins like Vitamin D3. It's pure propaganda...
Evamples:
You are 5 times less likely to be hospitalized with Covid if you are not vitamin D deficient and 70% of all covid hospitalizations occured among obese people.

I hope you can get most of what youve lost back.

😓

I feel you. I’ve had pneumonia 3 times in the past 6 months and probably 15 times since 02/16 due to CVID. I have had sepsis 4 times with the first being nearly fatal. All resulted in hospitalizations for 5 days to 1 month. My pneumonia’s have been nasty lately and all of them required IV antibiotics. I also have autoimmune issues so I’m immunocompramised and also autoimmune. I think I pissed someone off in my past life. So many hospitalizations and multiple bronchs as well. My last pneumonia I had double septic pneumonia. A week in the hospital with a bronch. One week isn’t bad though. A month had me so depressed and I missed 3 Christmas holidays out of 6 due to being in the hospital. I feel your pain. I hope you are doing better now. I get IVIG every 4 weeks and my next one is Friday.

hogwash

you're young enough that you have a chance to fully recover from this. pay close attention and remember the way the scar tissue looks in your x-ray. try to keep that in your memory when you look at another x-ray ten years from now. i think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the improvement.

Really, the video resource list saved your life?

@@Threedog1963 suspension of disbelief
also metaphors

@@lifeiscats1337 Isn't it hyperbole?

If you liked this video, you will really love the book. I have read it myself and highly reccomend it. It goes more in depth and still remains easy to understand like any kurzgesagt video.

You may want to do some research on the funding this channel receives from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation and its effect on the type of content they now produce.

If you don't have a vitamin deficiency vitamins don't help you.

Don't forget other highly influential comorbidities like obesity.

Yea, kind of video that misses to point absolute badly, wonder who payed for it.

@@Martin-df4xk The title says the "best" way to boost your immune system. Vaccines are without a doubt the best way to do that. Better sleep, vitamins, and exercise are also great ways, but they're not the best.

never gonna happen, will only make more people realize COVID only affected the elderly and obese. Especially when public figures like Joe rogan, who the left hate because its a white guy forming personal opinions, always said since the beginning all u need is exercise, healthy diet, sleep, and spending some time in the sun but he was attacked because that wasn't the narrative and having a natural cure to COVID after beating it wasn't part of the forced vaccinations narrative either. Plus we will be offending all the fat people because fat people are just as healthy as people who don't have diabetes.
