Zinc and Selenium Zinc has been proven to be effective against the common cold and to be effective as a topical treatment for herpes sores.

Poster Comment: 1) Eliminate simple sugar for the duration of the illness. 2) Build a gut barrier to eliminate most disease, Probiotics, fiber and Vitamin B complex can be used by your body to build a gut barrier. No antibiotics, no sugar. 3) I take Kyolic (Intense Garlic) and Green tea daily. Cayenne helps with other issues. It is part of my German herbal regime for the heart as is Ginkgo Biloba which is on the above list. You can buy Green tea extract for $5 now. Maybe not later on. 4) If illness is at onset stage, take 50,000 IU does of Vitamin D3 daily. 5) Vitamin C too. I take Zinc and Selenium daily. (Anti-oxidants). 6) I recommend Echinacea, St John's Wort, Liqorice Root, Pau d'Arco, Elderberry. Stock up on these so when the Wuhan virus sweeps through your town you will survive. The flu just went through my building without touching me. Last year my niece who inhales sugar got the flu twice. 7) You might stock up on Colloidal silver. I never used but I trust the word of those who have. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

A strong immune system will fight off viruses without you even knowing the battle ever took place. Thanks for this excellent list. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Some diseases attack the immune system and live off its response. A gut barrier is the best defense against autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks itself. These are mostly caused by vaccinations. You need probiotics, a high fiber diet and Vitamin B complex while avoiding sugar and antibiotics.
