What Is the TH1 and TH2 Immune Response?

[Music] hello everyone this is this short video i'm going to talk about the difference between the th1 and the th2 immune response but before i do that welcome to my channel if you haven't if you haven't done so already please hit the subscribe button down below and right next to it is a bell notification because when i upload videos like this you'll be first be notified if you watch on facebook thank you very much i always appreciate a growing audience please hit the like button down below and again if you find this information valuable please

share with a friend because i always appreciate a growing audience it helps the youtube logarithms google everything the internet is huge so the more fans i get the better off this content is going to be and i always appreciate it thank you okay so i want to talk about the immune system and i want to talk about in particularly the first line defense and the second line of defense and that is the th1 and the th2 system now we have a gland called the thymus gland and it's right in the sternum and it's responsible for

our immune cells and we produce a lot of them in our youth and as we get to about age about 18 19 20 kind it's useless it's just there but it doesn't do anything anymore so what the thymus gland does it produces what cells the th0 and the th0 differentiates into a bunch of other th cells but in particular i want to talk about th1 th2 th17 and the t regulatory cells now the difference between the th1 and the th2 cells is when it comes to the immune response so we have this first line of

defense and that's the th one that's the cytotoxic cells and that's an immediate response it's cellular immunity and this is i always say it is like the special forces this is the first line of defense this is this guards you against bacterias against viruses against parasites and what it does it attacks it attacks the cell and then we have the delayed response which is the th2 response the humoral humidity this is delayed this is the antibodies this is the second wave okay this is where the antibodies are produced like igg igm iga and ige so

this is like okay so round this is like the second string so we need the first string of the th one and then we need to back up which of the antibodies the th2 if that makes sense that's clear so when it comes down to certain cells and what they do so the th one this produces the cells interferon the tissue necrosis factor alpha these cells guard against intracellular bacteria viruses parasites the th2 this is the cytokines the interlockings 4 6 5 10 13. this is the delayed now what happens is when your immune system

takes a big hit and it can't really keep up then you get what this condition called the cytokine storm and this is when you really really feel sick because the immune response is just not either working correctly or it's over sensitive and this is the extracellular uh extracellular activity then we have these th17 and we have the t regulatory so how the immune system works it's kind of like a balanced system so you have the th1 which is the first responders then the other th2 which is the delayed response and you have this regulate it's

like a modulator and this is what the t17 and the t regulatory cells do they have they help modulate turning on turning off it helps balance out the balance mean because the body always wants to maintain homeostasis and the th17 those cells are heavily influenced by glutathione glutathione is amino acid produced in the in the liver and what happens if we don't take care of our liver the glutathione production decreases and this is where we get our bodies are open for uh any type of like sickness illness and disease also the t regulatory this helps

balance out as well and that is very heavily influenced by vitamin d this is why people who get sick often have low vitamin d levels and this is why a lot if you see my previous videos i'm always talking about increasing your vitamin d3 levels when you increase your vitamin d3 levels then it's going to help balance out the immune response and you're going to get better overall a lot of people who are sick especially nowadays they have low vitamin d levels so always get one do your vitamin d levels checked and take an additional

supplemental vitamin d3 i live outside chicagoland so i always recommend 10 000 ius per day to help balance out the immune response so how this works is that when we get a pathogen an antigen a foreign protein bacteria parasite virus it comes in and you have the first responders the first responders are the th1 cells and the cd4 and helper cells and the killer t cells the cd8 cells so these are the guys that attack it first and they make a copy of it and they tell the immune system hey this is this is the

foreign invader so if you recognize this again this is who you should attack and then this is where the th2 cells come in this is your antibodies the b cells the humoral immunity delayed the b cells and the macrophages the macrophages are the big eaters and then the antibodies are made so this is in general how the immune system works and it's a constant balance why is this important because sometimes we are either in th1 dominance or th2 dominance so when you have the balance beam and it's tipped in either direction whatever dominant it is

that means it's overactive and it's the other side is weaker if that makes sense so in people who are more th1 dominant meaning that that's the weaker side is they're always getting sick they're always getting sick they're always getting sick they're always getting sick or the th2 dominant these are the ones who are just chronically sick i can't get rid of this i can't get rid of that and again it could be an allergy it could be a cut in the finger so the people who are always getting sick are th1 dominant the people who

are just cannot get well are th2 dominant so what constitutes what's the dominant end certain conditions typically autoimmune diseases are th1 dominant it's overactive autoimmune diseases like hashimoto's you have multiple sclerosis type 1 diabetes then you get fatigue you have low t3 levels estrogen dominance estrogen dominance plays a big part in how the immune system works or you're th2 dominant you tip the scale the opposite way there are certain autoimmune diseases that are th2 dominant and these are the systemic diseases like overall body typically graves graves disease is typically th2 dominant this is where people

have chronic allergies histamine intolerances due to the cytokine storm hyperactive immune systems they're always getting sick chemical sensitivities chemical sensitivities mean they're very sensitive to smells that means again ch2 is dominant it's overactive so this is so then if you just could determine which side you're dominant this is why sometimes people take certain supplements and it doesn't work so if you're th1 dominant again this is one this is this is the supplements that you actually want to use astralia astrogas echinacea and liquor shoes that will help calm down the th1 dominance every th2 dominant pine

bar grape seed extract green tea resveratrol caffeine if you're th2 dominant this is the people who are actually taking caffeine and it doesn't work for them because they're th2 dominant so overall in addition to to help the immune system of course glutathione is always going to help balance out the regulatory system diet's a big part and exercise so i hope this helps again th1 and th2 immune response we want to balance it out remember the change 17 until it's regulatory that's the modulator if you have any comments please leave them down below hope you enjoyed
