What can we do against Corona?

Prevention, building resistance and increasing the chance of a cure are currently the best options to get over the COVID-19 virus. This way we can protect and support the protective cell membranes that are supposed to keep viruses out of our cells. Blocking the entry of viral RNA into the cell and preventing virus replication by boosting the immune system offers protection against the deadly inflammatory reactions that the virus can cause in the lungs.

Is Corona really dangerous?

We cannot yet properly calculate how dangerous Corona really is. What we can see is that the virus is deadly in a group of people whose immune system is not working properly. But this COVID-19 virus can also be deadly in a smaller group of relatively healthy people. In general, the elderly and less healthy people have an increased risk of a fatal outcome. This is usually related to pre-existing inflammation and damaged cell membranes. These are conditions where Corona has an increased impact on health and therefore these are the risk groups.

• Respiratory diseases (COPD, asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, etc.)
• Allergic persons (pollen, mold, etc.)
• Intestinal disorders
• Autoimmune diseases
• Fibromyalgia
• Neuro-degenerative disease (ALS, Parkinson's, etc)
• Cancer
• Biotoxin diseases
• Lyme disease
• Heavy metal poisoning
• Chronic viral infections
• obesity
• Heart and vascular disease

Preventing contamination

Preventing an infection seems to be only possible for the time being, unless you isolate yourself on a deserted island forever. By delaying infection, you increase the chance that a drug will become available that could help you. These are the practical things you could do to lower the risk of infection.

• Wash hands and wrists regularly
• Don't go to places with people unnecessarily
• Do not apply products to your body that can cause inflammation or allergic reactions.
• Do not use perfumed items such as deodorants and detergents
• Do not eat any of the known allergens
• Wear the right face masks in public situations
• Quit smoking and avoid breathing polluted air
• Breathe through the nose and clean it with a non-irritating rinse after contact with potentially infected air

Prevent inflammation

We must prevent inflammation in order to spare our immune system for the Corona threat. There are multiple sources that can cause inflammation. Stress also indirectly causes extra inflammation. So avoid all forms of stress. Below you will find an overview of things that you should avoid now to spare the immune system.

Nutrition to protect against Corona

We can support our immune system by eating the right food. It is very important not to eat inflammatory foods. You should therefore really avoid all foods to which you are allergic, especially now. The things you can eat have anti-inflammatory effects. The following diet is titled "the anti-depression diet" but is fully applicable to prevent inflammation so that Corona can be better absorbed by our unburdened immune system.

Mushrooms against Corona

We often talk about the magic mushrooms with psilocybin, but this time it is about the edible mushroom Shiitake. Shiitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans, including AHCC, which increase the amount of interferon gamma in the lungs. Interferon-gamma is an inflammatory protein that activates the immune system in a way that inhibits viral infection, but protects the membranes/cells in the lungs. AHCC activates the Natural Killer Cells, Natural Killer T-cells and gamma-delta T-cells of the immune system, so that we are already better prepared for a possible infection.

Although the effect of AHCC on COVID-19 has not yet been studied, supplementation with AHCC when infected with multiple viruses similar to COVID-19 virus has been shown to be effective in reducing the mortality of laboratory animals and humans. Animal studies have shown that AHCC is effective against these viruses.

• Influenza virus
• HPV virus
• bird flu virus
• Herpes virus
• West Nile virus

Aromatherapy against viruses

The essential oils that you spread in the air with a diffuser enter the mucous membranes and lungs when inhaled. The medicinal effect can then take place here, after which the body absorbs the substances and can release its effect in other places. Since Corona endangers the airways, aromatherapy can offer a solution because it has a local effect in the beginning. Please note that you never damage the lungs with too many foreign substances and that you never provoke allergic reactions (especially not with a Corona infection).

The following essential oils have antiviral properties.

• Lemon
• Eucalyptus
• Clove
• Tea tree
• Thyme

Nature saves us!

Despite the fact that we as humanity are not so kind to our living environment, the earth and nature, nature does contain a lot of resources that can save us. We have made the economy and the associated population growth and consumption the most important subject in the world. This economic policy based on growth will always be at the expense of the earth and is directly or indirectly the cause of all our problems, including Corona. During this difficult time, let's also think about the consequences of our actions. Be thankful for nature. We need nature more than you think. Let's get a little more balanced!
