How To OPTIMIZE Your Immune System & FIGHT VIRUSES! (Including COVID) | Roger Seheult

Subscribe to Friday Five for my popular weekly newsletter - my tips, my experience, my inspiration, what’s working for me. A high five from me to you: drchatterjee.com/fridayfive
Dr Roger Seheult is a quadruple board certified intensive care doctor and wants to empower all of us to prevent ill health. And when it comes to understanding inflammation and immunity, I can’t think of a better person to explain the science. Whether you’re worried about coronavirus, you want to avoid other winter bugs, or your goal is fending off chronic disease, he is full of actionable tips to help.
We begin by discussing the link between inflammation and immunity. We speak in depth about the link between low vitamin D levels and coronavirus, how it might be used as both preventive and treatment, and exactly how much we should all be taking. Vitamin D is produced on exposure to sunlight, which leads us to talk about the importance of light - and dark - at the right times, for our circadian rhythms. This of course impacts on sleep and what Roger has to say about its vital role in immunity might just persuade any night owls out there to turn in early tonight.
From hot and cold therapies to nutritional supplements, food to forest bathing, stress-relief to spirituality, there’s so much useful stuff here. I hope you enjoy this conversation and can use it as a toolkit for feeling your best as we head into the colder months.

My husband is an outdoor person, daily. He is a landscaper, so he get daily doses of vitamin D through natural means, the sun. Even on weekends, he stays outdoors quite a bit of the day. Since Sunday is our day of worship, he only gets a few hours on Sunday. He was recently given a healthy heart screening, and he was in the top percentile for the healthiest in his age group. In 46 years of marriage, he has had very few times of being sick. Most of those times were due to an accident....broken bones, etc. he has never had an infection of any kind, to my knowledge, nor a headache.

[@sharonolson5782]

I question your opinion. He must spend all day naked(not well tolerated by others) & the oils raised must be left on the skin overnight for absorption to the liver/kidney, where the Vitamin D is made. If he has a methylation defect in VDR & does not supplement, you may want a life insurance policy. Vitamin D deficiency leads to medical complications. Over 50 yo we make far less Vit D.

As an old Malaysian Chinese person nearly 80 years old and living in Melbourne, Australia, I do go to bed and sleep by 10 am but get up at 3.30 AM. Dr Matt Walker whom you interviewed was brilliant on the topic of sleep. I love to hear what Dr Walker and Dr Seheult have to say about sleep for older people. I heard Dr Walker mentioned perhaps older people should take melatonin. Dr Walker was kind hesitant. There is about 12-14 percent of older people in the Australian population and globally there are heaps of us. Most of us may well be the group that watches youtube on topics to do with health and ageing. I love you to focus on some topics that pay special emphasis on the aged. Thanks for reading thus far.

Good discussion. I’ve been following Roger for a long while. As healthcare professionals - we do shift work - my circadian rhythm has been ruined after 4+ decades! That’s our downfall. It took me 3 years to get my vitamin D level up to normal after I saw an endocrinologist. Now my vitamin D level is at optimal level for chronic diseases. Deficiency is a silent disease. Stay well folks!

[@Lolipop59]

Can you elaborate your story ? How much vitamin D did you use in these years ? Of course I will check my levels, I am doing it for 5 yeats now ,but I am still just over 35 ng ,I want to go to higher level. Thanks

@@Lolipop59 About this time last year I doubled my Vit D intake to 2 x 2,000 IU per day. Then in December I alternated 4,000 with 5,000 IU every other day. In mid March I had my levels checked.

The circadian rhythm points were so informative.. get outside in the morning! Fresh air, birds, green improves health. Sip your morning beverage outside! Stop looking at screens late… enjoy the dark and be in bed at 10pm !! 🔅🔆🤩😎

[@Bomber411]

I've taken my health into my own hands and it's been a struggle. These videos help a lot. This week (starting April 16), I made it my goal to reset my circadian rhythm. All week I've been waking up early and sitting outside in the sun first thing, then I go for a hike up the hill and into the woods. My sleep was so backwards as I'm dealing with chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases and I'm dirt poor, so it's a real struggle. I'm focusing with tunnel vision this week, and I'm actually sleeping at a decent hour. By 7pm I start to dim the lights, by 8ish they're off and by 9 I'm asleep, if not before. The day after I began this, my body started getting signs of a virus. So far, it's fairly mild, but with my autoimmune and chronic illnesses, I'm very aware this could end badly. I'm really hoping this is just my body fighting back against all the good I'm doing for it, and not the plague. Having autoimmune, my body is attacking itself. I tested negative 2 days ago and will test again today. I don't have the energy today to get up the hill, but I've sat in the sun, pumped extra vitamins, drank 2 healing teas, and now I'm going to rest while I listen to more of these videos and play a video game. Hopefully I have the energy later for a walk, but I've been doing great all week so I don't feel so bad taking a day to rest. Thank you for arming me with knowledge they aren't teaching us in school.. the circadian rhythm/light exposure issue alone ought to be taught to everyone! It wasn't addressed as much in this video, but it's available in several others. Makes me wonder what else we don't know about. It's like hunting for treasure, which can be fun (i really enjoy listening to these while sitting in the sun), but I so wish they taught this to us when we were younger. Thank you for teaching us now!

An early pioneer in the study of diet and health, DDS, Dr Kelly, put his family on a meat free diet at the time. As time went by, his wife became very unwell. After resisting for many months, Kelly changed her diet to include meat. She recovered quickly. Kelly wrote articles about this and his conclusion that there is no one diet that suits all people. This is important information for today's researchers. One size can not fit us all.

[@Trying_very]

What about Vitamin D3 - My understanding is that Vit D is actually a hormone.and Vitamin D2 is easy for the body to manufacture from Vit D3 but not vice versa. I had a Vit D deficiency which surprised me because I love being outside and I love being in the sun as much as possible. I am currently living in Switzerland - so Northern Hemisphere but I’m British born and bred, so I’m further South and I spend more time outside than when I was in Britain, although not so often in direct sunlight as I did when in the UK. When my Vit D levels returned to “normal”, my Swiss doctor recommended that I continue to supplement with Vit D3 (it comes in a form that is already in oil - presumably that counts as fat and is a better form than another brand which came preserved in alcohol. What about Vit B complex, Vit C and Zinc and Echinacea? We can’t rely on our food to contain everything it used to contain which would perhaps have been sufficient in the past, but now even organic fresh vegetables seem to be less nutrient dense. We eat more processed foods than ever and they’re full of all sorts of additives. Then there’s the pesticides, antibiotics fed to fatten up animals bred for human consumption and other chemicals from industry and the domestic cleaning products which we use have found their way into our groundwater, rivers, seawater, soil, vegetable produce, animal feed and eventually into our human food. I don’t see how we can rely on modern food to provide sufficient nutrients……..? !

[@rredding]

Hi Saskia, to answer your questions: The D3 level in your depends on several factors.. As answered before, the sunlight needs to be strong enough. You don't go for a full burned skin, but turned to light pinkish is great for Kaukasians. In optimal conditions you will then have received 10,000-15,000 IU Vit D3 (this is 250-375 mcg.) Your total available D3 reserve build up over time depends on total dose of sunlight, your skin colour (pigments in dark skins are there to catch UV light before it damages skin), weight (D3 dissolves in fat), your age, genetic factors and presence of disease (e.g. heart problems). Have you vit D3 measured a few times with intervals of several months, if you can arrange it. Vitamin C: most mammals produce their own vitamin C! Primates, humans, some bats don't. If we could, we would probably produce some 5-15 grams per day (do your own research, it is interesting to see how much e.g. a goat produces per day :D). I think the RDA of 60 mg per day is crazy... in the past sailors died of scurvy because they lacked vit C, these days we die of atherosclerosis, which has as a root cause low grade vit C deficiency (see Linus Pauling and Dr Rath). For zinc and vit B: eat some nuts, hemp seeds, and the like

Fr. Sebastian Kneipp used hydrotherapy in the 1800’s after having been inspired by Johann Hahn, a German physician, who taught about the healing powers of water. Kneipp used hydrotherapy to heal himself and later to heal others (much to the chagrin of the church).

The two types of immune systems, innate and adaptive was a real stunner. It might explain my once in a while waking in the morning with a wet night shirt. Maybe my in eight immune system was kicking into overdrive because of an invasion. I’ve been doing hot and cold for years because it felt good. Little did I know I was torquing my innate immune system. Really great podcast.

Doctors are finally recognizing the part that inflammation plays in illness. But they always fail to mention the part that polyunsaturated fats play in promoting inflammation. And the part that saturated fats play in lowering inflammation. Vit D is great. So are L-Lysine, NAC and Beta Glucan as far as viruses go.

You forgot to mention the fact that vitamin D isn't able to get into the cells without people using magnesium on a regular basis as they are synergistic. I use ancient magnesium oil or lotion as a daily regime along with my vitamin D. Now I have just found out that I am very low in vitamin B1 which also needs magnesium for it to work correctly. It also helps you sleep better & I suffer from lack of sleep so I am hoping for an improvement as I address this issue.

I'm dark skinned, over 50 and live in the Northern States. I started taking 50,000 in of vitamin D3 along with K2 last year after listening to a podcast with Dr. Grundy. Never felt better!

From your writing it is not clear when you take these amounts... Is it per day, per week or per month? If you can afford, have your D3 level tested by a lab. Max advisable level is 100-120 ng/ml, I myself prefer 50-70. (For nmol/L multiply values by 2.5). These values were measured in hunter/gatherer tribes walking minimally clothed in tropic areas.

[@Lolipop59]

@@rredding How much are you taking to maintain this level ? Thank you

[@rredding]

@@Lolipop59 Dita4911, I noticed that my answer didn't get through, so I must have made an error. I place it again.. I take 8,000 - 10,000 IU D3 per day, with Magnesium and Vit K2. Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, as you probably know, so pls take it with (fat containing) food. D3 promotes absorption of Calcium. Especially when you take these "large" amounts of vitamin D3, there's the risk that Calcium is deposited in the kidneys, bladder and blood vessels where it wreaks havoc. K2 helps you to get this Calcium in your bones and teeth. Now about the advised amount of vitamin D3 per day... It actually depends on your metabolism and genetics, on your body weight and your current D3 reserve in your body. This reserve also depends on where you live (a lot of sunshine?), skin colour and body weight. Also, if you have e.g. a heart disease, your D3 reserve may be depleted! If possible, have your levels in the blood tested! You may want some 40-70 ng/ml. This may be of help: www.grassrootshealth.net/project/dcalculator/ You can calculate here for yourself.

[@Susan.Lewis.]

52:30 says a "high protein, low carb diet had almost 4 times risk for moderate to severe Covid19." That doesn't sense. I don't think it's that simple because I'm on the ketogenic diet and I no longer need blood pressure pills (after 30 years), I am no longer pre-diabetic, my AIC is normal, I now eat very healthily and I lost a lot of weight. There's something else going on here. Whatever it is, it's Big.

[@hikari8858]

Most of the studies that have been done abot low carb diets have NOT REALLY been low carb. They usually involve more than 150 grams of carbs (!!!). That's definitely NOT LOW CARB. Plus we don't know what other junk the subjects were consuming.

Your are correct! It’s probably also because of foods that are not KETOGENIC! And the amounts consumed not keto friendly ⚠️

in 1964, my husband and our 26 month old son were living in Bayside, NY. I would take the time to read all sorts of books while my son took his afternoon nap. The book I read was called " The Cracker Factory" written by a very accomplished writer and later a movie producer. Her book was actually an auto biography. She wrote about her activities as an alcoholic housewife with 2 or 3 young children. She described what happened when she was driving under the influence of Alcohol with her children in the back seat. She was pulled over by a police officer, and as a result of her arrest she decided to check herself into an Asylum for rehabilitation. After a while she was allowed to go home to spend time with her children. There were more visits all coensiding with good behavior. On the first stay her youngest son got sick and started running a very high fever. She took her son into the bathroom undressed him , put him in the shower. She turned on the cold shower, plugged up the tub and immersed him while he sat in the tub. Overhead, she kept the extremely cold water over his head, the cold water shower continually drenching his body for approximately 15-20 minutes. His fever broke. I remembered this when I was faced with the same problem with my own son. He was sick with a temp.of 106 degrees. I undressed him, took him to the bathroom, placed him in the bathtub, plugged the tub and turned the cold shower on him allowing the cold water to accumulate around his body. He was crying, I knew it was painful for him, but that was my only choice. When I took him out, I wrapped him up in many towels and took his temperature. It had gone down to 103 1/2. I gave him some Children's Tylenol and dressed him in his PJ's. I put him in bed and called his doctor. He complemented me on acting so quickly. If I hadn't read that book I probably wouldn't have known what to other than giving him Tylenol and going to the hospital The credit goes to Joyce Rebetta Burdit, the author of The Cracker Factory.

Another traditional early treatment to respiratory virus infection is breathing steam through the nose, often with tea tree oil drops in the water. The logic being that such viruses do not thrive in warm humid air (such as is present during summer months) and steam is about as warm and humid as we can get.

@@believer2734 the whole point is to get the steam into the nasal passages and upper airways as that is where the virus reproduces. Drinking won't do this. Also, according to the pack I have, Tea Tree Oil should not be ingested at all.

Also the elderly even if out in the sun, sometimes cannot process it and absorb it well, the body just doesnt work as well as we age, everything wears out. So supplementation is even more necessary for them. More nature and sun makes us feel better, wards off depression, and boosts immunity. Sleep quality is harder to establish for the elderly also. But there are nice youtube music videos that offer deep sleep delta wave sleep music, works well getting into deeper sleep cycles before bed. Nutrition absorption is also compromised as we get older. Liquid multivitamins and minerals are better absorbed by older persons. Exercise: there is a great DVD by Leslie Sansone that offers a 1, 2, 3 mile walk with upper body workout, and strength training right in front of your TV and it is a sweaty workout! Easy to do and no excuse about weather preventing exercise.

Hello from Central Europe. Great topic. Great info. Am a medical professional. Here in post-commmunist countries they put glucose-fructose SIRUP in many many drinks and food (including most pop: Coca cola, pepsi, fanta, also in fruit flavored beer, etc.) but in Germany they have real sugar in their coca cola. Our country is trying to get the EU to set some rules for brands to not make 2 types of quality within the EU. Have done much studying on the topic of Vitamin D and found that Vitamin D can be stored in fat cells and with overly huge doses can be toxic; yet many many people in the past and present spend many hours outside during at least the warm months and do not develop toxicity, so I theorize, that excess vitamin D created or consumed during warm months may be stored in fat cells and then later in the year released back into the blood when levels decrease during short days/cold months (my theory).

Red meat is an excellent source of high biological value protein, vitamin B12, niacin, vitamin B6, iron, zinc and phosphorus. A source of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, selenium and, possibly, also vitamin D. A source of a range of endogenous antioxidants and other bioactive substances, including taurine, carnitine, carnosine, ubiquinone, glutathione and creatine. It is a superfood.
