I have been willing to write to you since the beginning of this pandemic.\u00a0A coronavirus<\/strong> infection kills mainly immune-deficient<\/strong> men over 80 years of age but members of all age categories and genders may be severely affected in conditions of decreased immunity<\/strong>. The virus kills 10 times more easily than the flu. Nowadays, the flu still kills 50 to 100 times more people each year because of its much greater frequency. My goal is to give you key information to prevent<\/strong> the\u00a0disease\u00a0and boost<\/strong> your immune<\/strong> system<\/strong> in order to preserve<\/strong> your health<\/strong> and the one of your patients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition to the excellent preventive public health measures suggested by the governments, you may also:<\/p>\n Wherever you are indoors (home, office, classrooms),\u00a0keep the atmosphere humid<\/strong>\u00a0enough (at least 65-70% humidity) by using humidifiers<\/strong> that spread vapor into the air or opening windows when it rains, for example. The main reason why viral and bacterial infections<\/strong> are much more frequent in the winter, and not in the summer, is that during the winter the indoor air is too dry because of overheating. The overheating dries<\/strong> the mucosa<\/strong> (mucous membranes) of the respiratory tract<\/strong> (throat, larynx, bronchi, and bronchioles of the lungs). As a consequence, the mucosa becomes much thinner and fragile, allowing millions of viruses to penetrate easily into the body, overwhelming the immune system<\/strong>. When the air is humid enough, the mucosa of the respiratory airways thickens, and resists<\/strong> much better against<\/strong> viruses<\/strong>. Much less or no viruses can penetrate them and the viruses that do, are easily neutralized<\/strong> by the immune system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n + Drink<\/strong> a\u00a0lot of water<\/strong> (> 2L\/day)<\/p>\n + Follow an anti-inflammatory diet<\/strong> (fresh vegetables and fruit, steamed or boiled meat or chicken), avoid all sweets, unsprouted grains, and milk products that calm down your immune system<\/p>\n + Sleep<\/strong> sufficiently<\/p>\n + Take several\u00a0immune-enhancing nutritional supplements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are already suffering from a viral infection, Dr. Brownstein<\/strong> (USA) recommends an ideal nutritional treatment would be during the\u00a0first 5 days<\/strong> of a Coronavirus (or other types of infection)<\/p>\n + 50,000 IU\/day of vitamin D3<\/strong><\/p>\n + 5 to 10 g\/day of vitamin C <\/strong>(following tolerance; excess produces diarrhea)<\/p>\n + Vitamin A<\/strong> 100,000 IU\/day<\/p>\n + I would add an intake of iodine<\/strong> (as Lugol 5%) solution<\/strong>: 5-10 drops\/day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hormonal treatments are protective<\/strong>, their effects are to prolong life<\/strong> and to be in better health <\/strong>(avoiding age-related diseases).<\/p>\n +\u00a0Thyroid treatment<\/strong>\u00a0improves the immune system\u00a0in\u00a0the long-term (several months).<\/p>\n +\u00a0The immune system is stimulated the most by\u00a0thymosin-alpha-1\u00a0<\/strong>(which is produced naturally by the body).<\/p>\n +\u00a0Cortisol treatment<\/strong>\u00a0is very important. In fact, patients with adrenal deficiency<\/strong> (cortisol deficiency) are highly prone<\/strong> to infections<\/strong>, so they must correct their deficiency in order to get less risk of infection by coronavirus<\/strong>, other viruses<\/strong>, and bacteria<\/strong>\u2019s.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Online and in newspapers, it has been reported that ibuprofen<\/strong> and other anti<\/strong>–inflammatory<\/strong> medications<\/strong> may reduce<\/strong> the resistance<\/strong> to the coronavirus<\/strong> infection<\/strong>. This is not true for the anti-inflammatory hydrocortisone<\/strong> or any other cortisol<\/strong> derivatives<\/strong> when these supplements are taken in safe physiological amounts<\/strong> to correct an adrenal deficiency, and combined with the intake of a similar amount of DHEA<\/strong>, the other important adrenal hormone<\/strong>, which protects against side effects of cortisol. The higher the DHEA dose is, the higher the cortisol dose can be without causing atrophy and other undesirable effects.<\/p>\n In fact, in case of adrenal deficiency, the administration of cortisol associated to DHEA boosts the immune system<\/strong>. As mentioned above, you should even increase in the first hours and days the dose so to get rid of the infection quicker.<\/p>\n At excessive doses<\/strong>, however, given during prolonged weeks, cortisol and its derivatives reduce<\/strong> the size of the thymus<\/strong> and the production<\/strong> of immune<\/strong> cells<\/strong> and thymosin hormones by the thymus, and thereby, create an immune deficiency.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been willing to write to you since the beginning of this pandemic.\u00a0A coronavirus infection kills mainly immune-deficient men over 80 years of age but members of all age categories and genders may be severely affected in conditions of decreased immunity.
