There have been some interesting new findings on why people are dying from COVID-19. It’s been thought that COVID-19 is more of a pneumonia type problem or ARDS. But, they have found that it’s actually more of a thrombosis, which is blood clots. This could explain why some people are also getting heart attacks or strokes.
The virus is triggering inflammatory cytokines. If a person has a pre-existing condition or a weak immune system, they could get an overreaction of cytokines called a cytokine storm. They also don’t have the enzymes that are supposed to resolve the situation, which causes a massive amount of oxidative stress. At this point, the tissues are being destroyed, and the person is starving for oxygen.
Hydroxychloroquine, which is being used in some cases as a treatment for COVID-19, just so happens to be anti-thrombotic. It can help prevent clotting. It’s also anti-inflammatory. A few other things that I think could potentially help this situation are:
• Antioxidants (vitamin C and vitamin E)
• Vitamin D
• Zinc
• A low carb diet

| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So there's been some interesting new findings on why people are dying from COVID-19. |
| 0:50.0 | It's been thought that it's more of a pneumonia type problem or ARDS, ARDS is acute respiratory distress syndrome, |
| 0:58.0 | because if you're treating patients as if it's a pneumonia or ARDS using a ventilator, the success rate should be pretty high. |
| 1:05.6 | And the success using ventilators is actually very, very low. |
| 1:09.2 | There's been some new research on this topic, and they found that it's more of a thrombosis, okay, which is blood clots, which is occurring in the lung and the arteries and other places in the body, which also explains why certain people are getting |
| 1:25.1 | heart attacks as well as strokes. And it seems to be forming on the endothelial |
| 1:30.1 | layer inside your arteries and lungs and other areas of your body. |
| 1:35.0 | Here's what happens. |
| 1:35.9 | The virus is triggering an immune reaction, okay? |
| 1:41.1 | And triggering these things called cytokines and there's different types of cytokines |
| 1:46.6 | there's inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory but it's triggering the ones that are |
| 1:51.5 | causing a massive amount of inflammation. |
| 1:55.0 | Now if you have pre-existing health problems or your immune system is weak, |
| 1:59.0 | you are going to get an overreaction of these cytokines and it's called a cytokine storm inside your lungs, inside your arteries, and you don't have the enzymes to break down those clots, so you actually deplete those enzymes that are supposed to resolve that situation. |
| 2:15.6 | So it's creating a massive amount of oxidative stress, which then destroys your tissues. |
| 2:22.1 | That's basically a massive scarring of the lungs. |
| 2:25.2 | And then what happens is basically the patient is literally starving |
| 2:28.4 | for oxygen. |
| 2:29.9 | So now there's going to be a shift in a lot of hospitals on how they treat this based on this new data, which are clots. |
