Video Transcript – How a Healthy Immune System Detects Cancer Cells
Ty Bollinger: You talked about unraveling the mysteries here. So let’s look at the immune system. Is the immune system one of those mysteries that we need to explain and help to unravel, so that people can better get a grasp on how they can control the factors that might affect that immune system and then down the road, potentially, cause cancer?
Because if I understand it correctly, the immune system is our first line of defense. And with a healthy immune system, it might be awful hard to get cancer if your immune system is working properly.
AJ Lanigan: Well, as I am fond of saying, your immune system is really the only thing that stands between you and all those things in you, on you, and around you, trying to get you all the time – cancer included.
Now, the problem with cancer, in particular, it’s not like well, I got a cut and I got dirt in it or I got a splinter. Or, you know, I just drank some bad milk and you know, it has got bugs in it or I ate at a salad bar and whoever prepared it did not wash their hands after the toilet so I got some kind of E. coli.
It’s tough for the immune system to find it, to see it, to recognize it. In fact, there are only a minute number of immune cells that even have the capability of surveilling and actually recognizing precancerous or cancerous cells.
The largest number of immune cells in your body are known as neutrophils. When you go get your blood work, just standard old blood work, NEU is the abbreviation for neutrophil. On any given day, they’ll count anywhere from 50% to 70% of your total immune army, which basically, is your white blood cells.
Ty, they can’t see cancer. Can’t see it on your best day. The majority of your immune system cannot see cancer. In fact, the very narrow margin would be made up of natural killer cells and they’re constantly surveilling all the cells in your body – healthy cell, smiley face. Healthy cell, smiley face. Hmm, this cell doesn’t have a smiley face. [smacks hand] Badabing, badaboom. That is the job of natural killer cells.
There may be virus hiding inside that cell. That cell could be mutating. It could be mutating and be benign, could be mutating and turning cancerous. It doesn’t matter – no smiley face. But see, the natural killer cells are, again, a very, very minute population. Now they may ramp up in numbers. Say, when you get a flu bug. But it takes a couple of weeks for that to happen, you see? So ultimately, if your immune system is hitting on all eight, in a perfect world, I’m talking a 24-karat gold athlete…
Ty Bollinger: And on gasoline with no ethanol.
AJ Lanigan: …every card in the deck lined up, you’re only going to have about 30% of your immune cells come to your aid in the face of a challenge – 30%. The rest of them, they’re just sitting up in the stands watching the game and eating popcorn. Thirty percent.
Now we’re not talking about a handful of cells. Me, you, most everybody else listening, there is some debate. We may have 100, 110, 120 trillion cells in our body. A little debate over that. I have never counted them but there are a lot of people have…
Ty Bollinger: It would take a while.
AJ Lanigan: Take a while. But whatever that number is, roughly 10% of those cells make up the immune system. So we’re looking at 10 to 12 trillion cells. Now that’s more cells than you have brain and central nervous system. That’s more cells than you have skin. You know skin is the largest organ. There are still numbers larger that make up your immune system.
Why is that? Well, again, it is responsible for protecting every other cell in the body. So you’re going to have numbers. Those natural killers – 30% give or take – but that is 30% of trillions. But the neutrophils, 50% to 70% of 10 to 12 trillion.
A question I ask myself, what if they could see cancer? What if you could take the major load and ramp up and say, “Oh, there’s a cancer cell over there.” Bam, it’s gone. Instead of relying on those lower numbers. You have got some cytotoxic T lymphocytes. I’ve talked about them being the ninja cells. They can see cancer, too, but again, they’re few and far between.
I like numbers. I like numbers. Even in a fair fight, I want to have more numbers, okay? And that is really the heart of where we are, in my opinion, need to be in fighting cancer or any other disease having to do with infections and so forth. And we can do that. We can do that. We have got materials that we can put into our body that will not only help the immune system be healthy, but also make those numbers that are up in the stands be down on the field fighting the fight.
Article Summary
The immune system is our first line of defense.
It’s hard to get cancer if your immune system is working properly.
Only about 30% of your immune cells come to your aid in the face of a challenge such as cancer cells.
We have materials that we can put into our body that will help the immune system be healthy, and also increase the number of cancer-fighting immune cells.
So… what are those things that we can put into our bodies to make the “numbers that are up in the stands be down on the field fighting…”? Is Lanigan referring to specific foods, herbs? Is he referring to other types of treatment? I would find it helpful if articles like this actually pointed to what someone is referring to rather than having readers make assumptions regarding what the speaker means. There is so much information out there, can be challenging to sort through.
Thank you for the information you do provide!
Hi Mary, that is a very good question and the short answer is that AJ has patented beta glucan products that have been clinically tested to be the best immune boosters on the market. The reason he did not mention them is because Ty does not endorse any namebrand products in any of his TTAC videos for obvious reasons: We live in such a commercialized society, most people will think that he is only making these videos because he is only interested in monetary endorsements from product manufacturers rather than truly showing people how to eradicate cancer. (btw, most people interviewed in the TTAC series also have their own products that they sell but did not advertise on the series) If you would like to know more about his products you can go to: http://www.vitawithimmunity.com/ and if you like what you see there you can contact him on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/alanigan3?fref=ts I have to tell you that this is another amazing man in the field of natural health. He is currently helping me with a dear friend who has cancer (who is doing very well I might add) and AJ has made himself available whenever we have questions. He is an ‘ole southern boy with the heart of a saint and the tenacity of a lion (not to mention he’s really good at what he does lol)
uhh… I saw his TTAC series and he mentioned all kinds of doctors, products and clinics, etc. Why would it be any different if he mentioned it here? Also, since I signed up for his newsletter, I have received numerous emails endorsing products, some of them are very expensive. In fact, of all the health e-newsletters I get, the TTAC newsletters are more like advertorials or infomercials than news/information. I like the work they do, and I support it, otherwise I would just unsubscribe. I chalk it up to the fact that they just need to work on their marketing and/or branding. As a person with stage 4 cancer, I find these videos to be incomplete… what is he talking about? what foods and herbs will help? Mary is correct when she says there is too much information out there. I read an article about salicinium, great, it sounds wonderful! It breaks down the enyzme nagalase that cloaks cancer cells. Can’t find it. What few places sell it, they are out of stock. It is a naturally occurring substance, but it costs $250. What foods have it…???
This is so very interesting I will look forward to studying more about about it.
I wonder could it be that through the increase of vaccinations, that the immune systems of people in general, has been lowered. And could that be may be also the reason that cancer increased and still is increasing beide of polution an d all the bad food people take, because the govenments sustain the main food and the main chemistral industry?
How come the raising of Glutathione levels is NOT highlighted???? Glutathione is the MASTER ANTI OXIDENT and BOOSTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM amazingly. Some foods help a little, expensive IV injections of Glutathione if used regularly can raise Glutathione levels by around 6% over one month. The low cost PhotoTherapy patches we use raise the level by up to a massive 300% over 24 hours – AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS?????
Where do we get these patches.
Its a risky world out there and inside as well!
And we have only made it worse by being so manipulative and lying as a society!
Is it not time to grow up as a society and nation…
James
I need help now Rick my husband has been on Torisel he has had 8 treatments and can’t be on it anymore The cost is too high and it causes to much side effects. Sores in his mouth, rash on his arms, cracks in his feet, No appetite, unable to sleep and very tired. He is opting out on this chemo
and needs answers. He has renal cell carcinoma. 4th stage. Spots are on his adrenal glands and Lungs with on small one also on his1 kidney horseshoe. We don’t have answers for how to target this cancer only 100 people
a year get this cancer in the US each year. The survival is about 5 or less years. We found it in October. Is there someone who knows what is working for this type of rare cancer. How do we afford the treatment where is it found. No more chemo. Help us find answers please.
Watch the episodes The Truth about Cancer The Global Quest, or search in youtube “The Truth About Cancer” by Ty Bollinger, you also can buy the 9 episode but if you search in you tube you will find must of the information. I promise you is worth to watch. You can help your husband with all the information provided and he can be healed.
Has he tried Immunotherapy. It is targeted directly toward the cancers.
What does one do when one has auto-immune reactivity or an auto-immune disease as well as cancer and has to avoid all the immune boosters (such as quercetin, green tea extract, pine bark extract, grapeseed extract, medicinal mushrooms etc.) which stimulate the TH1 and TH2 pathways? How does one treat the cancer?
Can you take Glutathione in pill form and raise these levels.?
Or Glutathione is not readily absorbed that way
and the stomach acids eat it up before you can realize the nutritional benefits.?
I am considering purchasing Glutathione pills and want to know if I will receive any benefits.
There is a Glutathione that Europharma makes that is a ‘Slow Release Sublingual’. Desighned to melt at at very slow rate in the mouth 20min. in order to absorb via the mucosal lining thus entering the blood stream without need of digestion.
Read Rick Simpson page about medical hemp oil. It is legal in several states in the USA. It works for all kinds of cancer and I know people it has helped, but you should start it asap.
I also have stage 4 reno clear cell carsonoma. My mets are near the surface of my hip bone.I have had alot of tumor shrinkage with the BHP.If you would like more info contact me Anthony Peldys on facebook.I wish you the best of luck on your healing journy,God Bless You
What is BHP my husband was on Torisel for 3 months Dr took me off it because he had a real bad rash on his arms that were a manifestation of lung damage and Cat scan confirmed this. Hi Doctor put him on steroids and he put on weight and we also used the Xango juice to oxygenate his blood. Now he has been off Torisel 1 month 2 weeks and nothing and I am getting the Xango to help with his rash on his arms. But he was told only about 2 years left without no other safe treatment. If you could let us have the link for the BHP maybe we can help stop the progress of the cancer.
Thanks Kay McKenney
I thought people with auto-immune conditions were suppose to take immune boosters (such as quercetin, green tea extract, pine bark extract grapeseed extract?
Now i’m confused!
Can you please tell me just what one can do with a lowering of W,C,C,( 1.3) and neutrophils of only .4 . It has lowered from 1.1 to .4 in a 2 months. I understand it should be above 4 WCC. Surely there is something , mushrooms, diet etc one can do , or exercise to arrest this decline. Doctors here say nothing can be done as it is supposedly vey rare. They call it MDS with a RAEB2 score what ever that means. Have been told to avoid shopping centres, and no to boats, buses, planes, trains with the no immune system. There must be something …please help or assist.
Advise to AJ Lanigan–Need to lose weight or some disease will be come a problem for you. I know it is not that easy–been trying to lose 10 lbs myself for sometime.
Vee, judge many books by their covers? I’m 5’7 broad shoulder woman with a straight build and a bit of a spare tire. Over the past 6 years I have had so many blood draws checking for diabetes, thyroid etc… and have never been on a prescription drug but once from 2008-2009. My husband is 5’9 still very active in his early 70’’s, slim and has ate anything and everything most his life. 10 years ago told he had a heart arithymia but other than that healthy as a horse. If he ate something I gained the weight. Go figure.
After 71 years decided to use his VA for health purposes of yearly checkups. This is when he was given high blood pressure, cholesterol, prescriptions and for the better part of the year went from one prescription to another from a fussy cough. This was 4 years ago. Today we are just beginning to start the routine rituals to finding a year long infection. Yes a year long infection. Started blood in his irons and constant trips to the restroom .Dr have a prescription. Guess what it I was? Antibiotics. Ok it’s cleared and then within 5 months coughing up blood. Same dr prescribe 30 antibiotics take until gone. Follow up he was sent to a public hospital for future test and within 30 mins our whole life has changed. Three dark spots have been found. Lung, upper and lower abdomen. First things first . We need to do a stent in the main aorta so as he can tolerate and recovery once he’ goes through chemo.
So Vee, use some empathetic critical thinking skills before giving an opinion on ones appearance. Injuries can take us down instantly and a body not in motion, well need I explain further? People are dying from a well orchestrated attempt of lining their pockets for the sake of themselves.
