Coronavirus (COVID-19) – What You Need to Know

This is from Kat Toups MD

Below is a document I created for my patients after extensive research to help people understand ideas for preventing the coronavirus infection, and what to do if you start to become ill with a flu-like illness.

I hope it might be helpful for you, but this is general information and I encourage you to consult with a physician if you have any questions or serious health issues.

CORONAVIRUS PROPHYLAXIS and TREATMENT

The Corona Virus is a common type of virus that typically causes an infection in your nose/sinuses or throat.

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) first detected in Wuhan, China seems to attack the lungs as well, and can cause ARDS – Acute respiratory Distress Syndrome that can be quite serious, and in a few cases, life-threatening.

Most cases that were fatal have been reported in people with compromised immune systems. The people in Wuhan (a city of 11 million people) reportedly live in a high degree of air pollution, and there is a very high level of smokers. Both of these factors can weaken the lungs and the immune system.

That said, COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus, and it seems prudent to plan a strategy for prevention and have an attack plan ready in case you become ill. All of the suggestions here are useful for any type of flu or respiratory virus. The Elderberry Syrup and Buhner formulas have specific activity against the Coronavirus.

General Guidelines for Good Health and a Strong Immune System

• Eat a clean diet with fresh organic foods and free-range meat and chicken and wild-caught fish
• Eat lots of veggies – all the colors of the rainbow each day
• Eliminate or minimize sugar, as this can suppress the immune system and feed viruses and other bugs.
• Get sufficient sleep each night. This is when your brain detoxifies and all of your body organs regenerate.
• Work on your stress! Stress takes a big toll on the immune system.
• Practice more frequent handwashing, especially after being in public places.• Wear an N-95 face mask in public places if you have any illness that weakens your immune system and if you are elderly. (The immune system generally weakens with age.)

Tonic Prophylaxis for Immune and Anti-Oxidant Support

• Fish Oil – 3 grams a day – to prevent inflammation (the virus causes a cytokine storm, which is a potent inflammatory response)
  Make sure to take a high-quality Fish Oil that purifies and test for toxins and heavy metals, like Xymogen Monopure 1300 or Nordic Naturals
• Vitamin D – 2000 to 10,000 IU/day (enough to maintain a blood level of 50-80) – super important for immune support
• Vitamin C – 3 grams a day – also very helpful for immune and anti-oxidant support
• AMLA + Spirulina – AMLA is the most potent food anti-oxidant (from gooseberry fruit). Spirulina is blue-green algae that supports the immune system and helps heavy metal detoxification, as well as fighting Yeast, lowering blood pressure, and more
• Pure Planet AMLA Plus Organic Powder – Mix 1.5 teaspoons with 8 oz. of water; Take with food once a day
• NAC – an anti-oxidant defense system that specifically supports lung disease, as well as an important detoxifier that makes Glutathione
• Mushrooms – eat a lot of cooked mushrooms, and/or take Medicinal Mushrooms. Both are well-validated to support the immune system
• QOL ImmunoKinoko AHCC 750 mg – take 1 twice a day on empty stomach a tonic during the flu season to strengthen your immune system and hopefully prevent viral illness

Acute Illness
