Vitamin A

So if your immune system is deficient in zinc, it can't release the weapons that the immune system needs to destroy viruses.

There's a lot of research of using the active form of vitamin A, retinol, to inhibit the Epstein-Barr virus.

So it blocks the absorption of vitamin A.

And this is really important to know because vitamin A is essential in mucous membranes and producing the mucous barrier to prevent this virus from invading the tissues.

And so this is just another reason why making sure you have enough vitamin A vitamin D and zinc in your diet is so important.

And on top of that, remember when I mentioned that the Epstein-Barr virus has a primary mechanism of attacking the B lymphocytes? Okay.

Well, it just so happens that the primary nutrient that the B lymphocytes need is vitamin A, retinol.

All right, so now that you have that, there's another thing that Epstein-Barr virus does to survive.

but please go back and look at your vitamins and figure out if you are getting the right one that has the choline in it okay so obviously this matters for men too so they also need to check their choline intake so a simple way to look at this is aim for two to three whole eggs a day yolks included and think of your breakfast breakfast as a fertility supplement So there are other sources like beef, beef liver, chicken, salmon, and some crucifix vegetables and legumes like chickpeas.

Take number two, get real vitamin A called retinol from liver and cod liver oil.

Oh my goodness, my friend.

Vitamin A is essential for reproduction from egg maturation and ovulation to embryo development and sperm production.

In men, vitamin A is required for the cells that develop into sperm.

In women, it's involved in the development of the follicle.

Oh my goodness.

Sorry.

Only animal-based healthy protein is fully bioavailable and bioabsorbable and usable for the human mammal.

Now, many people who believe in a plant-based diet believe that dark leafy greens and bright colorful vegetables are rich in vitamin A.

Sorry, but that's not true.

Actually, vegetables and fruits and plants contain no vitamin A whatsoever.

So if you see any list that shows that there's a high amount of vitamin A in kale or in the orange vegetables or in the red vegetables, that chart was made by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, okay? Plants contain beta carotenoids like beta carotene and others, that can be converted into vitamin A in the human body if the pathway is sufficiently developed enough to do that.

There are even adults out there who have trouble with their biochemical pathway of converting beta carotenoids into vitamin A.

So there's no vitamin A in plant foods whatsoever.

The only source of vitamin A is by eating healthy animal-based foods.

Is vitamin A important to prevention of cancer?

Very much so.

There are a couple things that vitamin A is very important for.

The two biggies is it boosts the immune system and then it also is very important to epithelial cells.

That's like skin cells, that's the lining and all the organs.

The most common cancers actually come from epithelial cells and also the most dangerous cancers come from epithelial cells.

It's been proven that low vitamin A causes a problem with the reproduction of those epithelial cells and leads to a lot of the cancers that actually occur.

I was familiar with it.

Vitamin A, vitamin E, fenbendazole, and ivermectin.

I had it all with me.

So I was coming in hot, right? And I knew that I was going to put her through this because I assumed it was cancer,

So we we scheduled everything the tail end of August and we work towards that.

What was interesting was that.

Because I started immediately with the fenbendazole and the ivermectin and the vitamin A and the vitamin E and all of this, all the progestine and ciprohepatine, because of that, What wound up happening was about eight days before we were scheduled to go in for the bypass, the throwing up stopped, actually.

We got it to a point where it subsided.

The whole castle gets wobbly.

So if I don't eat my carrots, will my eye cells shout, hey, where are our supplies? Carrots have something your body turns into vitamin A, which your eye cells need to see in dim light.

Myth buster though, eating extra carrots won't give you superhuman night vision.

I was going to be a carrot-powered owl! What else messes up cell deliveries? Smoking is terrible for deliveries.

recommended before.

And he is also the originator of the theory which challenges the necessity of vitamin A and in fact posits the possibility that it acts in many ways more like a toxin than a nutrient.

So delighted to have you back today.

Welcome, Grant.

So we've done two recallings so far.

The first one is definitely an interview.

The second one, we decided to do a bit more of a debate just to keep it interesting about vitamin A.

And in this episode, we're actually going to do more of a conversation on the subject of how – toxicity, especially hidden, low-level chronic toxicity, is a very underappreciated and undervalued contributor towards chronic disease.
