In this video, I want to share something really important about the immune system. To help you understand this point, I’m going to relate it to how HIV destroys the immune system.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This virus causes something called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This is a broadly named condition that can create a lot of problems. Mainly, you lose your immune system.

This virus has a unique strategy of attacking the helper T cell. By doing this, it basically knocks out the rest of your army.

The T helper cell is one of the T cells, and it’s the most important immune cell. It’s required for all adaptive responses.

HIV will fuse with the T helper cell and then start taking over the DNA and reproducing. This completely wipes out your T cells. Now, you basically don’t have much of an immune system anymore.

Your T helper cells:
• Activates and grows your killer T cells
These cells are dedicated to killing viruses

• Maximizes the killing power of the macrophages
Macrophages are cells that eat viruses and bacteria

• Activate B cells
B cells make antibodies that help neutralize chemical reactions

If you wipe out the T helper cell, you won’t get any of the above actions either.

There is a nutrient that can keep T helper cells strong. This nutrient is vitamin D. If you’re deficient in vitamin D, your T helper cells will be suppressed. Vitamin D is crucial in immune function.
