It has been known, ever since 1984, that zinc is an effective virus fighter. That year a research study discovered that taking zinc gluconate lozenges early in the course of a common cold could shorten it. After a series of apparently conflicting research studies, a 2012 review of the literatureconcluded that taking zinc early reduces the duration of a common cold by an average of 1.65 days. Since colds are mild virus infections, it is clear that zinc has anti-virus properties.
Zinc and COVID-19
When the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus pandemic began, one of the glaring facts apparent to those who were familiar with the zinc research was that at least two of the three groups in the United States that were known for having zinc deficiencies (elderly people and Black Americans) were contracting and dying from COVID-19 at much greater proportions than the general public. There are no statistics available on the third group (vegans), but there is ananecdotal report of a young and robust vegan getting a severe case of COVID-19.
Correlation is not causation, and there are other reasons why African Americans and elderly people might be the most vulnerable. But medical researchers have long known some of the mechanisms through which zinc fights virus infections within the cell. In an excellent YouTube video from March 6, 2020, Dr. Seheult illustrates and explains the inner workings of COVID-19 within the cell and how zinc within the cell fights it.

Yesterday it was vitamin D.
ReplyDeleteI take D and Zinc
ReplyDeleteI avoid NSAID (Aspirin or Ibuprofen)
All because of what I have read. There are other articles about zinc available.
ReplyDelete"..Yesterday it was vitamin D.."
It still is today-- AND zinc, AND vitamin C AND vitamin A.
You won't hear much about it though, because every time it is brought up, people get smacked down, even though those things are VERY effective.
Tomorrow it will be potassium.
ReplyDeleteNo, you can't drink your anti-dandruff shampoo. Not the same zinc compound.
ReplyDeleteA daily multivitamin is all that’s needed.
ReplyDeleteThe media gives you so much confusing information so they can continue this farce and blame President Trump.
ReplyDeleteSounds like another ex-marine from Dallas (Oswald). But I bet he can't shoot like Oswald. Nobody can hit a man's head from hundreds of yards away,in a moving car, multiple times, with a bolt action rifle with no scope, like Oswald is alleged to have done. Nobody!
ReplyDeleteTHE DEMOCRATS DO NOT WANT A CURE. THEY HAVE THEIRS ALREADY. THEY WANT TO BLEED THIS UNTIL THE NOVEMBER ELECTION SO THE BRAINWASHED PEOPLE THEY HAVE BEEN TELLING ALL THE LIES TO WILL VOTE DEMOCRAT. THEN THEIR FUN LIFE OF COMMUNISM BEGINS.
