1-Hour Lung Protection Protocol Stops Viruses Cold

The simple act of breathing constantly exposes your lungs to all kinds of viruses, bacteria, particles of pollution, and other harmful foreign matter. And that means this overlooked organ has evolved its own special immune system to protect itself. Studies show that, like the rest of your body, your lungs operate two interactive protective systems — an adaptive and an innate immune system. The innate immune system in your lungs is made up of armies of T cells, B cells, and NK cells, like leukocytes, phagocytes, and macrophages. These cells, which are released by the alveoli and airway epithelial cells, identify foreign invaders, engulf them, and then eat them. The word phagocytes means “devouring cells” in Greek. The innate immune system also drives adaptive immunity in your lungs. This is a system of leukocytes with a memory component. And they respond to signals from your innate immune system by producing antibodies for specific protein sequences in specific bacteria and viruses that have attacked your lungs before — and then send out the phagocytes to devour them. This is why you normally have immunity from colds and flu viruses that settle in your lungs for several weeks after you’ve recovered. Recent studies at the University of Michigan also show that your lungs, like your gut, are home to a unique community of “good” bacteria — called the lung microbiome. And they have a direct influence on lung immunity.1 The researchers found that the lung microbiota,...
