Lysine: The Key to Balanced Immunity and Cancer Defense · Revealing Wholeness with Dr.Troy

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy, continuing in our series
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: on liazine. This one is probably going to knock your
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: socks off and hopefully give you a little bit better
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: understanding about what our immune system does and how it functions. Now,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: one of the things that we oh that is important
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: for us perhaps to understand is this whole idea of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: immune regulation. Now, the immune system. I don't even like
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: really saying immune system. As we've discussed in other podcasts,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: our entire body is the immune system. We don't have one,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we are one. So for lack of a better way
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to put it, we'll just call the immune response or
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: immune system all as one. So as we look at
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: this immune response, we want it to be good, but
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: not great, so to speak, and Ultimately, when we say great,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: we don't want it to be overblown, because when we
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: have an overactive immune response, we now have an autoimmune condition.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So we want our immune system to be Johnny on
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the spot and do its job and then be done
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and back off. In fact, it's kind of like, oh,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: we need this regulator. Like a car, if we have
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: too much fuel flowing into the cylinder and it doesn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: get ignited, it almost puts the flame out so to speak.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have enough oxygen to fuel ratio, and so
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: now the car stalls, and we've flooded it, so to speak.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And if you've ever had a flooded car and have
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to turn it over one hundred times, it seems like
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to get the thing to clean out and start up,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it's crazy. But if the regulator doesn't put enough gas
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: into that cylinder, we now have it stall for a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: different reason and it won't run. So we need this
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: gentle balance, and Lizine tends to be that gentle balance.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It's that regulator. Can we overdo Lizine, No, the regulator
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't care, but the fuel does. So our immune system
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: can be overblown or it can be stalling out. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: when I say that that lizine regulates. It actually increases
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: natural killer cell activity and regulates the inflammatory immune response.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: So when we look at an immune response, we have
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: an inflammatory response. And people think, oh, inflammation, that's bad.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Well no, not really. We need inflammation in order to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: bring in water, nutrients, enzymes, whatever we need to heal
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: as well as flush the area and create a base
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for this whole response to happen. So we don't want
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to inhibit inflammation. We want to support it, but in
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a good way, a normal way, not an overblown way,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and so lizine helps to regulate that. In fact, if
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we look at the idea of inflammatory tumor necrosis factor,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're thinking, what did you to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: say tumor necrosis? What? Inflammatory tumor necrosis factor is a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: factor that basically shuts down tumors. You heard me right.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: We know that this stuff is in the body and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that it works. But if I overwhelm the system with
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: too much inflammatory tumor necrosis factor, I now begin to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: get an autoimmune condition. And so we'll see that run
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: amok when we don't have enough lyazine and we have
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: too much argenine. Now, just like we talked about an
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: other lyasine podcast, This other balancing aspect largenine. Elargenine is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: an amino acid that's a bit bigger than elizine. It's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: also tends to clog the kidney tubules, like I've mentioned,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And in our kidneys we produce an enzyme called rgenase.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Now that rgenase is important in some areas, but it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: not actually meant to be everywhere. It can become problematic
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in and of itself as an enzyme. So though we
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: do need it in our kidneys, it tries to reach
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: this balance that is vitally important, and of course llizine
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: helps that. Now, if we have a high argenine diet,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what does that look like. It looks like eating a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: lot of chocolate, peanut, butter, nuts, seeds, coconut. Those are
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: all some of the highest argenine rich foods. Now, some
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of you out there said, yeah, but you've said chocolate's good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I did because it has lots of copper, and copper
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: is important for the body. And if you're craving chocolate,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you often are craving the copper aspect of the chocolate.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: But because you're eating so much, you're likely to get
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of arginine, So you might find that you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: suffer with cold sores a bit more, and that would
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: be triggered by l arginine. So you'll find that when
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you have that kind of stuff happening where you get
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: sores in the mouth or cold sorees or canker sores,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you're going to want to increase your lysine, but also
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: some calcium water intake all of that. So what foods
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: would be high in lysine? You might be thinking to yourself,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: if those are high in rginine, how do I balance
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: argentine by eating a high ll yasine diet well way, unprocessed, unheated,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: unpasteurized dairy would be excellent. There are multiple other foods,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and I've mentioned them in other podcasts, but to go
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: through at least the list, there are things like eggs, shellfish, beans, avocado, pork, poultry,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: A lot of fish is good, and even brewers yeast,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: one of my favorites, are all fairly good or at
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: least quantity wise of llizine. So what happens if I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: do eat all of this l argenine? What can I expect? Well?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: In high demand? These tumor cells, they actually already know
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that tumor cells themselves have a voracious appetite for arginine.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: So when you're eating high diet and arginine, you're actually
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: feeding cancer cells. What's even more freaky is that there
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is a brain parasite, Toxoplasma gondy, which also tends to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: love arginine, and you'll find some mental and neurologic disorders
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: associated with it, but you can have vision problems, even
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and more. And so with this, when
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you start doing lyizine, we now control even things like
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: parasitic activity in the body. Now, the last bug that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: seems to love arginine that we know of is pneumonia
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: causing streptococcus. And so you know, you think about a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: strep throat can become pneumonia and it is arginine dependent.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: So if you find yourself getting pneumonia quite frequently, you
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: might be looking at your diet thinking, I bet I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: have a lot of l arginine in my particular diet
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and I probably need to do something different with that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And you'd be right, And so lizine might be a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: decent way of counterbalancing all the arginine that you're doing,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and we may end up finding that, hey, things are
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: much better. So as we already know herpes being that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: cold sore, that canker sore type thing definitely is affected
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: by argenines. So you're going to notice those things. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: then last what I want to cover is with elizine,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: we have this histamine component. Now you think in histamine,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: when did that enter the picture. Well, histamine itself is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to help stop the spread of potentially dangerous chemicals or
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: bugs or body naturally produces histamine. And as I've mentioned
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in other podcasts, sometimes people will have a running nose
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: when they eat food. If that's you, that means your
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: digestion may not be wonderful and you're actually activating a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: tertiary component of digestion, which is histamine. Histamine can actually
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: help digestion in small amounts, and so you'll find that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you'll have a histomantic reaction and you kind of will
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: have a running nose when you eat. And of course,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you know, let's eat some spicy foods, we're going to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: have running nose. But in just normal general eating, you
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: might find that, hey, I'm starting to have a histamine reaction,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and that means that well, your body is not doing
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: so so well digestively. But as you begin to start
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: taking things like lli zen and really working on your body,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you may find all of a sudden those types of
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: situations become less. But here's the weird thing. Just like
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: some conditions that I work on with folks, once we
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: start a certain pathway, it sometimes inflames their conditions. So
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: let's say that you have, oh, the classic exzema or psoriasis,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and we start taking lyzine, and you tend to have
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: histomantic reactions or allergies, and as you do lizine, it
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: kind of kicks up the skin a little bit as
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: well as your histamine reactions. For the first week or two.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That might not be too surprising because what is happening
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: in this whole thing is another concept called nitric oxide. Now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: for those of you that have been around the nutrition
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: realm for a long enough period of time, you've probably
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: heard of enosupplements. Hey, I need nitrogen or nitric oxide
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: because it really helps. Well, yes, but you can also
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: once again, just like too much fuel in your cylinder
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: trying to make your cargo, you can have too much
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: nitric oxide. So there is also a balance here that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: is important, and they they believe there's actually different species
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: of nitric oxide. Some are pro inflammatory, meaning helping the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: inflammatory process. Some are inhibitory of the inflammatory process, so
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: they call them healthful or healthy nitric oxide, and then
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: some can be actually a detriment. And guess who actually
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: regulates what happens. You guessed it lizine, And so you
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily have to understand so much of nitric oxide,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: but you can say, yeah, but I still want it,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and you could take it. I prefer that you get
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: it in the form of beats and beet greens. That way,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: at least it's more natural and your body knows what
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to do with it and work with it much easier.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So that's the immune aspect of lizine and how it helps.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It's anti cancer because it's decreasing the effect of arginine
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and lots of tumor cells are r gene dependent. It's
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: also helping some bugs like herpes and like even hpylor
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: but also Streptococcus say hey, I'm not getting my fuel
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: because they're taking my largenine away. And now you're actually
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: helping your immune system have an easier time. So lizing
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: can be a super super helpful thing, even in the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: immune system as well as cancer itself. So I hope
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that was helpful to you. Until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and remember there is way more right with you than
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: there is wrong with you.
