Recent published studies suggest a specific viral protocol to intervene as both prevention and intervention. I am reading several interesting books about pandemics. Clearly food remains the foundation for optimal health, but I believe we need to have additional strategies in place for a vital immune system.
Of importance is the fact, in regards to COVID-19 there seems to be two phases to the virus. During the first phase, your innate immune system responds, immune support such as vitamins A, C, and D are all important. Specifically, oral doses of vitamin C can achieve similar rapid increase in plasma concentration as Infusions. Correcting any deficiencies before the onset of a virus is essential. Additional prevention strategies include melatonin, zinc and iodine. During the second phase, pro-inflammatory response, your immune system is in “rapid-fire”phase, natural anti-inflammatories are helpful here. Preferably, natural ones. Flavonoids and curcumin are examples of this. The second phase is a time I believe therapeutic doses might be beneficial. Also during the second phase Vitamin C can be used every few hours. I also believe homeopathy can be helpful to have on hand for specific individual reactions to this virus. I have a list of what I will be keeping on hand for family this winter.
