    Nothing worse for your immune system than stress; live a peaceful life, stay fit and stay away from negative people who drain your energy.
  • I have had good results in taking a variety of Vitamins and hadn't caught the Covid-19.
  • @6248cjl
    I know these vitamins help! I got exposed to an entire family in their home who tested positive two days after my visit just 15 days ago. I am almost 64 with T2 diabetes and I am slightly overweight. I started taking all these back in March. As soon as I learned I was exposed I self-isolated. I ended up with 3 days of low grade fever and muscle aches but absolutely no respiratory symptoms. I am fine now.
  • @belvis5135
    A doctor actually talking about building immunity. I must be imagining things.
  • The Most High gave us all the natural medicines we need, FREE!!!!
  • I have recently had covid and successfully treated it at home without medical intervention. I took: Quercetin, zinc, D³, and vitamin C.
    The Quercetin and Zinc were vital to keep the virus from replicating. I find it absolutely appalling that medical doctors are not better informed as to how these supplements work.
  • @glomv9090
    Take a morning shot of turmeric, ginger, cayan pepper and lime.

    At 72 years old, I have never had a flu shot.
    I have never had the flu.
    I don't wear a mask.
    I don't social distance.
    I only wash my hands when dirty.
    I haven't been jabbed with the vaccine.
    I do get a common cold around once every 5-6 years. I take zinc as soon as the symptoms occur to minimize the effects.
    I haven't had a sore throat in more than 30 years. If my throat feels scratchy I eat some fresh pineapple and the next day my throat is as smooth as silk.
    Even though I am out in the sunshine every day I need to take a vitamin D supplement.
    I never smoked.
    I never drank alcohol except a little wine.
    I do eat a healthy diet for the most part. Chocolate is my weakness.
    My high metabolism won't allow me to gain weight no matter how much I eat.
    I did have a heart attack 15 years ago. Two stents. Dr said I couldn't drive so I walked 2 miles to the store the day after discharge. I felt like a 20 year old again.
    I can still run circles around those twenty somethings.
  • @patty68
    God created a perfect immune system we just have to take care of it.. supplements absolutely help your body as well as putting the right things at the end of your fork
  • @oldladyfish
    A female relative of mine is a visiting nurse. She has always had ashma. She developed walking pneumonia. She was rushed to the emergency ward and was stuck in the ICU for a week before her husband paid to have her rushed to Dallas where she was given V-C, Hydroxyclo-q-n, Iver-mec-10 and prednisone and her usual blood pressure med. She walked out of that hospital 6 days later and on the 8th day she went back to work. She hasnt gotten sick since.
  • I am 74, I don't go to Drs, I take supplements and go to the naturopath, I don't use
    pharmaceuticals, so far so good, I have never had a jab, neither did my children, they did
    when they got older, jobs, etc. at least not when they were babies and toddlers. I have not used masks ( we don't have to here in Darwin) all normal. I don't use hand sprays, which are full
    of poisons, I am not worried about a virus, if I get it , so be it, I won't stop living, fear is the
    virus, perhaps because in 1971, I was 24 expecting my now 50 year old son, my mum 48 got Tuberculosis, we were together 24/7 until she went to the Sanatorium for 4 months. She came home, I had a beautiful baby, life went on, she was with us another 40 years...So, I have lived thru Polio, Diphtheria, small pox, typhus, Sars, Aids, TB. there will always be a virus or germs
    they are part of our life.The trick is to build up the immune system and never be afraid. With fear they can control us. Don't give up your freedom.
  • @katebulatao1560
    I’ve been taking Vit. D 5,000 IU , Zinc 30 mg. and Vit. C 1000 mg every single day. Along with a healthy foods , I never get sick .
  • @lynnesews9725
    I appreciate a medical doctor that will look into supplements. Most just turn their back on supplements. I hope more serious studies come.
  • @debdarcher4484
    So in the studies regarding Quercetin as being ineffective, was it when the supplement was given alone or in combination with Vitamins C, D, & zinc? I have read that it’s a recommended supplement for people with asthma and cystic fibrosis to help strengthen one’s respiratory immune system.
  • @bassproable
    My regiment is liquid zinc, D3 and vitamin C.
  • @p.a.93
    She is only scratching the surface but it is a start.
  • @tammymarques399
    Eat an organic whole foods plant based diet. I did this to reverse my systemic lupus!
  • I'm switching from regular vitamin C to vitamin C with rose hips, plus a multivitamin exercises and most important put your trust in God please accept Jesus as your personal savior.
