Coronavirus Prevention and Treatment

Top 10 Ways to Arm Your Immune System Against Viral Epidemics

BY DR. ZOLTAN P. RONA, MD, MSc.

The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in January has caused world wide fear, panic, and confusion. Fuelled by nonstop media accounts of infection and death rates, quarantines of entire cities, and misleading propaganda to "get you 'flu shots" as a way of fighting the outbreak, the hysteria is building with each passing day.
People are walking around wearing useless surgical face masks as if this offers some degree of protection. It does not, but could be of some value in preventing cameras from discovering your identity. Viruses are too small to be prevented from spreading by the surgical face masks that many folks are using.

Medical authorities are urging us daily to wash our hands repeatedly to reduce the spread of viruses. Similar to the SARS epidemic of more than a decade ago, antibacterial soaps can be found in hospitals, doctor's offices, banks, tennis clubs, gyms, grocery stores, and elsewhere. But they are toxic. I recommend that you avoid using these. Such products are quite toxic to the skin and put an added strain on the immune system. Antibacterial soaps contain triclosan and triclocarban, two ingredients recently exposed by the U.S. FDA as being neither safe or effective infection preventers.

While it is wise to keep your hands clean, it's best to use natural soaps, tea tree oil cleansers, or those containing them, aloe, or oregano oil. And avoid people who are sick with the 'flu or other viral illnesses. Other than endorsing handwashing and the 'flu vaccine, medical authorities have made no attempt to inform the public about safe and effective natural measures to both prevent and treat viral infections.

From a dietary perspective, sugar, allergenic foods, and stress can feed microbes and spread disease. Instead, try to follow a high protein, sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free organic diet with copious amounts of raw vegetables. In addition, exercise regularly and get enough sleep. Hera are my top 10 supplement recommendations.

1 VITAMIN D - Vitamin D deficiency is likely responsible for the high incidence of colds and 'flus during winter in Canada. By nature, vitamin D is anti-inflammatory. Deficiency causes immune system weakness and chronic inflammation. For prevention, supplementing with 5,000-10,000 IU daily from October to May of each year is safe for most adults. It is effective for prevention of 'flus, colds, cancer, and approximately 200 different diseases.
Humans manufacture their own antibiotic through vitamin D stimulation. Vitamin D promotes production of cathelicidin, a protein with antibiotic properties. Cathelickdin kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The more vitamin D in the system, the more the body makes this antibiotic.
For those unfortunate enough to get the 'flu or any viral illness, Dr. John Cannell of the Vitamin D Council recommends taking 50,00 IU daily of vitamin D at the firs sign of the 'flu for 5 days, then dropping the level down to 5-10,000 IU daily for the winter season. This strategy can also be employed if you get 'flu or a cold right after receiving the 'flu shot. (Most conventional doctors do not believe that you can get the 'flu after a 'flu shot. Then again, they continue to ignore the overwhelming evidence that vitamin D prevents infection.) In any event, vitamin D is great prevention and effective treatment for colds, 'flus, and probably many other infections. World authorities on vitamin D verify that up to 30,000 IU daily for a healthy adult is quite safe and that periodic higher doses (50,000 IU daily for 5 days) are also of no concern. Vitamin D works even better if taken with vitamin K2. Both are anti-inflammatory and can prevent as well as treat infections successfully.

2 VITAMIN A - is often deficient in the Canadian population, especially in people with problems absorbing fat soluble vitamins from food. Vitamin A is not only vital for healthy vision but also important as viral illness preventive. Dr. David Brownstein recommends that healthy people take 5,000 IU daily, and 100,000 IU daily for four days at the first sign of illness. This is not a recommended dose for pregnant women who should just stick with a food prenatal multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. Be sure to take vitamin A, not beta-carotene (which won't work for this purpose).

3 IODINE - is a tremendously important mineral for optimal immune system functioning. Most people know iodine is important for thyroid function but few know that there is no bacteria, virus, fungus or parasite know to be resistant to iodine. To have an antiviral effect, one must take doses much higher than the TDA. Dr. David Brownstein, author of a book on therapeutic uses of iodine, recommends 25 mg daily for prevention and 50 - 100 mg daily at the first sign of illness. You will need a prescription for these higher doses but you can easily get iodine from fish, seafood, kelp, dulse powder can be sprinkled on food for added iodine. Avoid the high prescription doses if you suffer from Hashimoto's thyroiditis because it may make the condition worse.

4 VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID)
1,000 mg or more daily has antiviral and immune enhancing effects. Megadoses above and beyond bowel tolerance (i.e. dose that produces diarrhea) can be given intravenously to fight serious infections like Lyme disease as well as cancer. In cases of pneumonia, the IV form may be the best way to fight the infection and avoid the diarrhea side effects. One of my patients receiving high dose intravenous vitamin C for a viral illness was recently loudly scolded by her infectious disease specialist for receiving it. I asked the patient to ask that doctor to give me a call but the doctor never tried to do so. (I find the ignorance and arrogance of some conventional doctors very disturbing.) The scientific support of this use of vitamin C is well documented, and only the uninformed and out-of-date doctors believe it to be otherwise.
"I have not seen only 'flu yet that was not cured or markedly
ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C."
Robert F. Cathcart, MD

The daily requirement of vitamin C is still in debate but most would agree that the RDA of 60 mg is too low an estimate of actual human need. Vitamin C is used up quickly during conditions of stress, allergies, diseases like diabetes, and by tobacco smoke, drugs, antibiotics, alcohol, mercury, and other toxic heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Some vitamin C is stored in the adrenal glands, pituitary, brain, eyes, ovaries, and testes and is in greater demand whenever the immune system or any connective tissue is stressed.
The best food sources of vitamin C are the citrus fruits. Other fruits with high amounts of C include rosehips, acerola cherries, papayas, cantaloupes, and strawberries. The best vegetable sources are red and green peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, asparagus, parsley, dark leafy greens, cabbage, and sauerkraut.
Vitamin C was first isolated from lemons in 1932 but it was well known to be a factor in the prevention of scurvy back in the 18th century. Vitamin C is used by the body in the formation of collagen, a protein required by all joints, ligaments, skin, cartilage, capillary walls, bones, teeth and connective tissue. Vitamin C is needed to help heal wounds and to maintain healthy blood vessels.
Vitamin C may well be the most controversial of all the vitamins. Most of the medical establishment still objects to the use of megadoses of vitamin C for treatment of cancer, the 'flu, alleries, stress, adrenal fatigue, or just about anything else. Yet there is a growing body of medical literature supporting the use of vitamin C in very doses to both prevent and treat infections. So in my opinion, if you have any serious viral illness like coronavirus, insist on high doses of IV vitamin C. It can save your life.
Vitamin C in larger than physiological doses have been successfully used to treat a range of viral, bacterial, fungal and inflammatory conditions including colds. 'flus, mononucleosis, herpes simplex infections, and shingles. Vitamin C boosts production of interferon, a potent anti-viral and immune enhancing substance. Chronic inflammatory conditions not necessarily related to infectious disease will also respond to vitamin
C therapy. These include arthritis, bursitis, gout (vitamin C pushes uric acid out of the body), asthma, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
One of the strategies that I have recommended for people who have just acquired an infection is: "take vitamin C to bowel tolerance." When someone is plagued with a viral infection, the tolerance for high doses of vitamin C is increased. It takes for higher doses of victim C to produce loose bowel movements which occur at the vitamin C tolerance dose. Pushing vitamin C to that level will produce a strong antiviral and antihistaminic effect, reducing all the signs and symptoms of the common cold and the 'flu. Doses of 20,000 mg or more might be required to reach that bowel tolerance level when, ordinarily in times of good health, the bowel tolerance dose might just be 3,000 mg daily. In other words, the sicker you are, the higher the dose required.

5 PROBIOTICS (lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and numerous others) - are friendly bacteria that usually inhabit the gut, the oral cavity, and the skin. They are very well documented optimizers of the immune system. Probiotics function as natural antibiotics against unfriendly bacteria, viruses like the 'flu and cold virus, as well as yeast like Candida albicans. Probiotics can also be used for both prevention and treatment.
Cultured dairy products like raw non-pasteurized cheese, yogurt, acidophilus milk, buttermilk, sour cram, cottage cheese, and kefir are well-known sources of friendly bacteria.
Equally effective probiotic sources include cultured/fermented vegetables (cabbage, turnips, eggplant, cucumbers (pickles), onions, squash, olives and carrots), soy products like organic tempeh and miso, kombucha, natto, and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. Other food sources are sauerkraut and sourdough breads. Ideally, one can get a good supply of probiotics from one can get a good supply of probiotics from one or more of these diverse foodstuffs. If dietary sources are not easily available, supplemental probiotic powders and capsules are good alternatives. Choose a brand that has at least 10 different strains of friendly bacteria and between 10 - 15 billion live organisms.

6 COLOSTRUM - is the first mammary secretion nourishment that any mammal, including humans, provides for its newborn during the first 24 to 48 hours of life. Bovine colostrum is available at most health food stores as a natural health product. Those wanting to prevent infections can take between 3 and 6 capsules daily.
Polio vaccine developer, Dr. Albert Sabin, discovered that colostrum contained antibodies against polio and recommended it for children susceptible to catching the disease.
Colostrum components include interferon, gamma globulin, growth hormone 9GH), IgF-1 and protease inhibitors used by medical specialists in the treatment of cancer, chronic viral infections including HIV, and autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Jeffrey Dach is one doctor who provides evidence in a recent publication that colostrum is three times more effective at preventing the 'flu than the 'flu shot.
