I love these better than the “crash courses” and “immunology made easy” videos

[@annaweglewska8919]

Yeah same, because if people make immunology easy then they will learn nothing about it, because immunology is very hard to understand.

[@tomdavies9701]

Crazy what vaccines done to that poor patient. "born healthy, and then I had a load of vaccines"

[@chandrasekhar7779]

She is one of the best speaker i have ever heard in my scientific career .. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@chromopan]

I don't even know why I'm watching, I'm still in high school and I plan to be a journalist, but here I am having fun while watching a long video about immunology... An update 2 years later: i graduated from high school and followed my own path, i’m doing my best to be a great psychologist in the future. Journalism was never a part of my dream, i used to be a kid with that mindset that you should just choose what will make people proud of you and my parents always wanted me to be a journalist, but i am now studying what i really want, i wake up every day to go through all the difficulties a college student faces, but i can tell you guys that i’m happily dealing with all of them because i chose my own path. I’m just saying this because I think that many people are still trying to fit in other’s little box of expectations just to have someone being proud of you, but you know what? it feels even better when you’re the one being proud of yourself. I’m really proud of myself right now! Keep studying, be curious and learn everything you feel like learning, and last but not least: choose yourself, always. ♡

[@beyzee8516]

You gotta re-check your interest then. It's the same for me in high school. I was always so sure to pursue Accounting amidst my interest in natural science (especially Biology). Long story short, I took up Accounting and regretted it somewhere in my third year. Now I'm in med school and enjoy every 'difficulty' it gives me 'cause this has always been my interest I feel like I'm born to do this.

[@Kyrolysis]

Immunology is kinda fascinating. How do these tiny singular cells collaborate together to take down all sorts of different 'space invaders' ranging from viruses, bacteria and parasites. A biological process developed through not ingenuity but instead purely centuries of trial and error. The human body is a incredible feat of engineering. No one ever truly sits down and wonders about the fundamental processes beneath our skins striving to keep us alive every moment of our life. As topping on the cake if we do delve deep enough, conquering diseases that our body fails against such as cancer (which fights a fascinating war against white blood cells) , improvements and even immortality could be within reach.

[@whisperingsage]

Curiosity about a wide variety of subjects is a sign of intelligence. Keep it up.

[@margaritamendezmarimon3304]

GOOD FOR YOU!! Don't you think that everybody should know those kinds of things?.

[@sandraredguard6385]

Dr. Gundling is so dynamic! I came across this completely by accident, but I’m a subscriber now.

[@terrainekaygeddestucker97]

Thank you,all . University doctors California for educational programming. Forever grateful 13.3.2020

[@doogzgoingnatural]

I’ve never been so attentive during a lecture. She needs to win awards for being an incredible and engaging educator!

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

Yes she is.

[@tossbene3291]

Honestly she should be given an award🙌🏻

[@RcrdNnz]

Dr. Gundling, I'm currently studying microbiology as part of my nursing pre-requisites and I was pleasantly surprised to find you. I worked at your Chest & Allergy Clinic over a decade ago and I'm glad to see that you are as good a teacher as you are a doctor.

[@BD091959]

I'm a physician...immunology was scarce in school...thanks

[@choochd]

What a wonderful introduction to Immunology. This is what professors need to learn how to do.

[@mkirtikoushik8471]

im from odisha a (tribal state of india) a huge to 🙏UCTV for making these for absolutely for free and this would really help a lot underprivileged students like me who could not afford high qulaity education even in their dreams

[@Sulbee]

This is a very good lecture! Helped me a lot in understanding the basics of the immune system. I wanted to see what this course was about before I got to studying it in depth. I find it quite interesting

[@acidmitigationtrainingacad5406]

I very much enjoyed this lecture. Thank you Dr. Gunding. I read a few comments below and see that you are making a remarkable difference in many lives both as clinician and as an educator. Kudos to you.

[@tevitatukia6224]

Thank you to all the people who have done this kind of work in order to improve our understanding either disease or any illness in the world today!

[@bothainah8420]

This is really incredible. You are a great teacher. I attended a lecture that is fundamentally the same but didn't understand much. Thanks to you now I think I got it.

[@SkyF11]

she is an inspiration, God bless her

[@jazzautourdumonde]

Thank you very much for explaining things so clearly, that was so interesting. I can't believe that I watched the whole video and this isn't even my native language...

[@KingAbdallah]

Yo she is such a pleasure to watch! what a great video to watch before starting my immuno review

[@charith013]

Great teacher, Doctor, learned so much about natural immune system of humans. Much thanks to Elisabeth for shearing the experience for sake of others.

[@markusdanladiaustine3537]

you are an excellent teacher, and you deserve more awards. i will watch this video over again and would always refer back to it in future. Many thanks to you "immunology made easy".

[@JumboJimbo100]

This lecturer is a very good speaker, its very easy to grasp what she is teaching

[@richwaight]

Such an insightful video! Blows me away to get a glimpse of the complexity of the immune response! Thank you

[@walterchen8548]

Very long, but not boring. Very great lecture!

[@charliecapco5872]

A very friendly explanation, comparisons, and analogies. I love this! Thank you very much for this video.

[@amirulhassan2984]

I have benefited and inspired a lot through it . Love from Assam, India. May God bless you Dr. Katherine.

[@jamescktang1]

I learned so much about immune system from Dr Katherine, high recommended for other viewer.

[@helenraine594]

This was very useful to recap from lectures at University that I have had so far. I will watch it over again at a later date for the same purpose. It's easy to get wrapped up in the deeper details of immunology and to forget the basic foundations.

[@blueberry11051]

Thank You, Mrs Gundling..Great inspiration, also for an engineer like me from Istanbul/Turkey...

[@pepsiprincess48033]

I have sinus infections and allergies....year round....and then the usual colds and flu.... and sometimes it is hard to tell when I am actually coming down with an actual cold or flu....My head is ALWAYS full..... Also have a history of asthma, related to allergies...Not as bad as it used to be, but I am always very susceptible to lung congestion and infections.... I have also had a life long interest in medical topics, esp. hematology and immunology..... I can't listen to it all now, but I am saving this so I can come back and hear the whole thing..... Just got started..... A LOT of great videos on here concerning this subject.... Really didn't come up with much on the search engines....and so I thought I would just see if there was ANYTHING on here....and voila!!! Thank you for all of this wonderful material that the average person would not usually have access to in actual life......

[@seedplanter7173]

What if all the ailments you suffer from were caused by vaccinations? What if your immune system has been compromised by vaccines?

I have CVID too, diagnosed in my early 40's. Ran across this video by coincidence as well. A great session, very interested in learning more from this mini-medical school for the public. :)

[@highlyfavor1905]

it was a good review. I even learned a few new things. I don't think the patient should go into nursing though. With her immunodeficiency... the patient even said that if she is around sick people she becomes ill.

[@elizabethfuhr5527]

I got here to understand why I need to increase my immunity from the corona virus.

[@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty]

Be sure to get and keep you immunity high. You need Zinc, B vitamins, C, Calcium. To get it simple so you don't have to spend day and days of research ... Just go to Infrowars store. Check through all the products like Survival Shield (Iodine- liquid)), D3 (liquid) with K, DNA Force, and Secret 12 (b vitamins-liquid) and not at the store - but from Rainbow Light - is a great multi vitamin called Prenatal Petite. Infrowar's store has a multitude of other vitamin and mineral products. Be sure to get daily sunshine, and exercise.

[@alisonbrockbank6677]

Watching this in 2022 when a vast number of people have ceased to have any confidence in innate and natural immunity and believe that immunity is only available via syringe.
