Take care of it and it will take care of you!

July 30, 2025 - God created a beautiful system - the entire, complex immune system - to keep us healthy and well with very little fuss or effort. Despite mainstream thinking that we emerged from a “primordial soup”, there is absolutely no way that systems this complicated arose by accident.
Antibodies respond to foreign proteins (bacteria, parasites, etc.) and foreign matter injected into the body as a vaccine. Antibodies are part of the adaptive immune system. Other than antibodies transferred from the mother to a baby in utero, the immune system begins to adapt as soon as the baby is exposed to particles in the environment.
The other arm of the immune system is known as the innate immune system. Innate immunity is the body’s first line of defense designed to prevent infection, eliminate invading pathogens, and stimulate the acquired immune response.
Considered to be a “nonspecific mechanism” of defense, all components of the innate immune system act in a coordinated response by reacting very quickly (minutes to hours), while the adaptive response takes longer (days to weeks).
This very complex and beautiful system we were born with is comprised of many different components.
We have physical barriers, enzymes that destroy bad cells, and cells that destroy other bad cells. We have specialized proteins, too, one of which is Toll-like receptors, which I have long defined as “God within us.”
Before the discovery of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), innate immunity was seen as an unsophisticated part of the immune system. Immunologists thought its only purpose was as a precursor to what they believed to be the more sophisticated adaptive immune response. The adaptive immune response has been the focus of all vaccines; developing a “protective IgG antibody” was thought to be the cornerstone of protection against all types of infectious diseases.
The discovery of TLRs is very new science. The original discovery happened less than 30 years ago, while modern-day vaccination, with random activation of the adaptive immune system to produce IgG antibodies, has been around for more than 225 years.
The discovery of Toll-like receptors showed that the TLRs play a central role in innate immunity, overall health and long-term well-being.
TLRs are God within us.
Take care of them and they will take care of you.
Eat real food, drink purified water, avoid food additives, and avoid as many toxic chemicals as possible. Supplement with nutrients that support the immune system.
Omega-3 fatty acids are very important. They are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, which play a key role in regulating the immune system. They reduce chronic inflammation that can suppress the immune system and make the body more vulnerable to infections.
Omegas regulate T-cell function. These cells are vital to the immune response, particularly in recognizing and destroying infected cells.
Omegas support gut health by helping repair the intestinal lining and reducing intestinal inflammation. The gut is a major part of the immune system and a healthy gut is key.
Omegas also boost antibody production, crucial for the body’s ability to recognize and neutralize pathogens. Studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may improve the immune response to vaccines, increasing the production of antibodies in response to vaccinations and helping to provide more robust immunity.
