#immunedeficiency

I’m sharing this because you have a right to know the risks you are taking through exposure, even if they’re not being communicated to you through authority figures. I haven’t been exaggerating about how *not mild* Covid is, there are so many studies like the ones mentioned here with concerning clinical implications. One of them says that immune dysfunction persists for OVER 8 months post infection. I’m not an immunologist, so I find threads like this helpful for lay understanding (some stem background helps). It’s not your fault if you were never informed, but that’s not the same thing as willful ignorance and gaslighting people who try to tell you the science because it’s not “popular opinion.” Given all the literature coming out about Covid (this thread is JUST on the immune system, it impacts literally every system), it is irresponsible to perpetuate the messaging that it is only a mild illness. We are seeing immunosuppression happening on a population level this winter, which is overwhelming healthcare systems with secondary infections, and with the end of zero covid in China, it can only get worse. The very least you can do to protect your community is wear a mask and stay home if you’re sick.

How I look at other humans as just scary disease carrying enemies now...

So this is 30 🎉🎂❕ Spending one of the best weeks of my life with the soul tribe in #MountShasta, then Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and back to San Diego. 🤗 I am so grateful to be surrounded by the best friends I could ever ask for. Grateful to have people who care enough about me to travel well over 3,000 miles by plane and then another 1,000 miles by car just to spend a few days with me for my birthday. I am fucking blessed and #BlissedTheFuckOut. Every day I am grateful for my health. My body and I have come a long way from me hating it for not doing what it used to be able to. Instead I now thank my body for lasting as long as it has, for what I’ve put it through throughout the years. Thank you body for giving me the flare-free days, living with an #immunedeficiency is a constant struggle (especially in a pandemic) so every single day is genuinely a win. Every day I miss my son, Knox, more than the last. I wish he was with me, but I know we will be together again soon. I don’t need to go into how horrible my last year has been; we’ve all had a rough year in our own way - no need to compare notes; but what this year has personally shown me is we need to do is fucking love and fucking live - every single fucking day like it’s our last. Because it could be, one way or another. Absorb the beauty of your surroundings, love and respect the people who you choose to have around you, who choose to have you around them. Love & respect yourselves, love your fucking life. You never know what will happen over night. #30 (at Mount Shasta, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLH5_gmnhTt/?igshid=ampgdyxiwchk

#Immune support

The immune system is hugely complicated. It fights off an unbelievable number of offensive bacteria, fungi and viruses every day, as well as being responsible for the clean-up of dead or damaged cells throughout the body. see more...

Immune Complex

Introduction

Covering four different approaches to the nourishment of a healthy immune system, Immune Complex provides vitamins, zinc, probiotics and herbal extracts in a convenient, once-a-day serving. The immune system is a complicated machine, so Immune Complex offers many different kinds of support in one dietary supplement.

Vital Vitamins

It’s common knowledge that vitamin C is a key nutrient for the functioning of a healthy immune system. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant also associated with the immune system, especially among older people. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is yet another essential vitamin that is a necessary nutrient for a healthy immune system. All three of these are provided by Immune Complex in good supplementary amounts.

Multiple approaches

Zinc is included in Immune Support because it plays a crucial role in supporting a healthy immune system, from the skin to the cell level. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a key probiotic species that can help support gut health, which is very important to the absorption of nutrients. L-Glutamine is an amino acid used in large amounts by the immune system.

Beneficial Botanicals

All over the natural health media you’ll find exciting news about the botanical ingredients found in Immune Complex. Elderberry, Garlic and Echinacea all have been the subject of research that suggests support for a healthy immune system. Curcuminoids (from Turmeric) are special, providing powerful antioxidant potential that can support the body through normal oxidative stress.

Immune Complex is made in the US within an FDA registered facility that follows GMP guidelines. Ingredients in the formula are both domestic and imported.

When someone tries to explain the mask-wearing conspiracy of the week...

[basementghostli]

I’ve never walked around consistently under 116lbs. This is not my natural weight, and it is NOT supposed to be. When I got married one year ago I was close to 135 lbs, when I was actively fighting every few months I fluctuated between 119-125 lbs. These days I wake up every morning at 114 lbs. Every single day I fight 5 times harder than any #athlete just to be NORMAL, let alone be on the same level as the females in my division - I’m doing so much extra work just to be AVERAGE. Every time I train with @serranosisters, Amanda and Jordan always compliment me on how much heart I have.. The reason I have so much heart is because it’s the only thing that gets me through my body aching with excruciating pain, through my stomach twisting in knots every time I try to consume food, through the migraines and the vomiting after my #IVIG treatment, or when I am due for treatment. If I didn’t have the #discipline to do what I HAVE to do I’d have every excuse to quit - to stay home, to not train, to not #fight. Well, in plain English, FUCK THAT! I refuse to let my #immunedeficiency control my life any longer. My #NewYearsResolution is to find a successful #training regimen that works for my body NOW, and training #MartialArts at least an hour a day.

Do not be vague with your #resolution! Make it specific, give yourself small #goals that you have to hit each day, that you have to hit each week and each month. Discipline yourself not to skip a day for your resolution - if you HAVE to make sure you force yourself to make it up THAT WEEK. So let me hear it… What’s your New Years resolution?!

Just a little incite into my life...🏥👩‍⚕️🚑 For those of you who don't know about #CVID, here is a little glimpse. It is an #immunedeficiency that there is #nocure for. What it means for me, is that I am chronically sick, fatigued, in pain, and so much more. 🤯 My body does not have enough #antibodies or #immunoglobulins to fight infections bacteria and viruses, etc. My body works overtime 24/7...in a constant state of fight. * This is my first #IVIG . It went well for my first, it took over 6 hours. I'm #blessed that I get to do this at home with an RN by my side!😊 * This is also why I am an entrepreneur. I love that I get to work at home and be able to take care of myself. What a blessing!😊 * When you are chronically sick, you can become depressed and lose sense of purpose. I am thankful for my Creator, Heavenly Father who cares for me giving me #hope not only now, but in the future! #paradisehope #lovegod * Additionally, @Younique has given me a sense of purpose. A way to love myself and feel #beautiful and #confident no matter what is going on inside my body. Being part of a sisterhood that takes away the fear of loneliness. Cost of becoming a Younique Presenter and Entrepreneur $99...cost of feeling beautiful and confident, PRICELESS!💗 * * * * * * * #cvidawareness #primaryimmunedeficiency #zebralife #spoonie #idf #jwlife #jw #isjw #mua #mue #makeuponfleekkk #Younique (at McMinnville, Oregon)

So one of my special interests is cruelty free makeup and I recently found out that one of my favorite cruelty free brands is run by and anti-vaxxer. While she doesn’t mention wanting to not vaccinate her child because she’s afraid of autism her stance is still inherently ableist. 

Anti-vaxxers are selfish people who ignore the fact that they are putting people, specifically children, with immune deficiencies at risk for whatever ridiculous and arbitrary reasons they can come up with. Based on her original statement she seems to belong to the particular group of anti-vaxxers obsessed with avoiding anything that isn’t “natural” or “organic” because it’s “healthier.” 

This type of anti-vaxxer mentality is the one shared by people who fear-monger about the dangers of GMOs and don’t eat anything with “chemicals” in it, They believe that their “organic” lifestyle is the healthiest way to live when in reality they are just selfish, ignorant, assholes who are doing more harm than good. 

I thought she was cruelty free because she was a good person who cares for others but given her apathy towards those she puts in danger by choosing not to vaccinate her child it’s more likely that for her being cruelty free is an extension of her whole natural=superior mentality.

I will no longer be purchasing her products and to those who also love makeup and feel strongly about not supporting someone who cares so little for others I suggest buying from Nyx cosmetics instead. Nyx has a similar variety and style of makeup, is significantly cheaper, and is also cruelty free.

I am not going to lie I am having a hard time right now and with #covid_19 and my health problems that put me in the category of people that probably will die from #covid they contract it. Along with mental health issues severe anxiety, PTSD and #pnigophobia that is a phobia of not being able to breathe or take a full breath. It’s almost to much for me to handle. I also have a #immunedeficiency with the most extreme version fibromyalgia. So Suicide is the song I have be singing in my mind since the pandemic hit. I have also not left my home in a year at this point. So I started googling books about suicide and I found this one it made me laugh I thought if anybody else is going through what I am the book “How Not to Kill Yourself: A Survival Guide for Imaginative Pessimists” by Set Sytes Looks like a good option to check out before you 100% decided to “check out” if you don’t believe me go online and read the first chapter it’ll have you hooked. So let’s all try not to kill are self, and good luck. #Depression #ocd #PTSD #Mentalillness #Trauma #pain #ChronicPain #bookreview #painic #PanicAttack #healing #booksonsuicide #SuicidePrevention #creativewaysofdealingwithPTSD #wearamask #reasonnottodie #reasonstolive #mentalhealthbooks #anxityhelp (at East Mesa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpJYIJDFy5/?igshid=ylp4tddzu3go
