More folk medicine that a doctor endorses:

Elderberry There’s data that suggests elderberry (taken in teas, lozenges, gummies, or pills with the herb) can reduce flu virus production and help people recover from flu faster, Lin says. A study published in March 2019 in the Journal of Functional Foods found that compounds from elderberries can inhibit the virus’s entry and replication in human cells and help strengthen a person’s immune response to the virus. There is no really good data for the common cold and elderberry, Lin adds.

I mean, a doctor says it helps reduce flu virus production. So, yeah baby, take it.

Here's another one. It's a real surprise to me but you know, folk medicine is such a fascinating subject:

Apple cider vinegar Though apple cider vinegar (ACV) does boast some other health benefits, there isn’t evidence to show that ACV affects immune function or that taking it regularly improves your chances of fighting off viruses, Lin says.

I'm going to HAVE to search out more articles by Dr Lin. I can't wait to post these very helpful articles.

A doctor said Donald had bone spurs too, usually when they are affiliated with a highly reputable university and do legitimate research I pay more attention. The newspapers and internet are full of small scale nutrition and health correlation studies that seek funding for bigger studies.

Post something on echinacea, lots of people believe in that one and there are no shortage of people here who extol the virtues and healing benefits of pot, there's lots of material there too.

Oh, no

I'm converted to the faith of folk medicine now. I mean, I just realized that we've been using too much science and not enough belief. So, I believe.

Stay tuned, I'll be posting all sorts of new stuff here on this subject.

It's all here. Zinc, silver, honey, hydroxychloroquine, elderberries. I bet that if I dig deep enough I'll find a reference for arsenic too.

Man, this is great.

Thanks for supporting me on this. I have so much that I want to share:

Zinc does have some data suggesting it can provide support for your immune system and may help you fight off infection in common colds faster, Lin says. A meta-analysis published in the journal JRSM Open in May 2017 found evidence that zinc lozenges can shorten the common cold's duration by over 30 percent. The findings recommended that the lozenges not contain citric acid or salt citrate. “[It’s an approach] that you can think about taking within the first few days of infection,” she adds.

Remember, zinc has not been tested specifically with the new coronavirus, but it has been tested with other viruses, he says. When it comes to other viruses, zinc lozenges work by inhibiting the viruses' activity in the throat, when the infection is just starting to spread, lessening those symptoms. So taking those lozenges soon after you begin experiencing symptoms may help, Cooperman explains. “It’s fairly safe for a week or two. You want to suck on the lozenges, but not chew, so your throat is continually coated with zinc,” he says.

So, zinc. What do you have to lose?

What supplements should I take for Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

20 Vitamins and Supplements to Boost Immune Health for COVID-19

The COVID-19 coronavirus has many common symptoms, including fever and dry cough, to more extreme symptoms that require immediate medical help such as difficulty breathing and confusion. We do not currently have any antiviral medications that specifically cure or treat COVID-19, but vaccines are...

Selenium
Selenium is a mineral with a variety of uses, including preventing bird flu and swine flu. A potent antioxidant, selenium can boost immune function, except in those with autoimmune disorders, who could experience a negative impact on their immune system.

Look at that and be astonished. Prevents bird flu. Wasn't that a coronavirus? Doctors don't know shit. I'm going to go get me some selenium today!!!!

And here it is folks. What used to be a waste product from the manufacture of cheese is now a cure for coronavirus!!!


WHEY PROTEIN


Not only are whey proteins like BiPro great for muscle health and appetite regulation, but they also can help the body fight off colds. According to Today, “No one food will magically fend off the flu, but certain nutrients take the lead in helping protect your body from millions of bacteria, viruses, and other germs – and protein is one of them. One of the reasons is that the antibodies that help fight disease are actually made of protein.” The amino acids that are found in protein form the building blocks of all the body’s cells. If you don’t consume enough protein, you’ll manufacture fewer white blood cells to combat antigens.

From that same website where I found a great reference on whey:

SALMON

This lean fish is delicious and perfectly suited for people feeling under the weather due to its high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids. Maxine Yeung, MS, RD, CDN, NASM-CPT told CNN that those fatty acids can regulate inflammation in the body. “Chronic inflammation can weaken and disrupt the function of your immune system,” Yeung said in the article.

It can help regulate inflammation. I need to look up this Yeung character. I bet they have all sorts of other good stuff to tell you guys!!!!

Here is another one: Medicinal Mushrooms

5. Medicinal mushrooms

Medicinal mushrooms have been used since ancient times to prevent and treat infection and disease. Many types of medicinal mushrooms have been studied for their immune-boosting potential.

Over 270 recognized species of medicinal mushrooms are known to have immune-enhancing properties (32Trusted Source).

Cordyceps, lion’s mane, maitake, shitake, reishi, and turkey tail are all types that have been shown to benefit immune health (33Trusted Source).

Some research demonstrates that supplementing with specific types of medicinal mushrooms may enhance immune health in several ways, as well as reduce symptoms of certain conditions, including asthma and lung infections.

For example, a study in mice with tuberculosis, a serious bacterial disease, found that treatment with cordyceps significantly reduced bacterial load in the lungs, enhanced immune response, and reduced inflammation, compared with a placebo group (34Trusted Source).

In a randomized, 8-week study in 79 adults, supplementing with 1.7 grams of cordyceps mycelium culture extract led to a significant 38% increase in the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, a type of white blood cell that protects against infection (35Trusted Source).

Turkey tail is another medicinal mushroom that has powerful effects on immune health. Research in humans indicates that turkey tail may enhance immune response, especially in people with certain types of cancer (36Trusted Source, 37Trusted Source).

Many other medicinal mushrooms have been studied for their beneficial effects on immune health as well. Medicinal mushroom products can be found in the form of tinctures, teas, and supplements (38Trusted Source, 39Trusted Source, 40Trusted Source, 41Trusted Source).


Everything discussed in this therad is here, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Zinc, echinacea and more!!!
