A good list from Natural Immune System Boosters. The Wuhan coronavirus (now known as 2019-nCoV) causes elevated Cytokine levels - this is the root cause of the illness and fatalities. Here is a list of what suplements to take and what to avoid when dealing with a Cytokine Storm:
What Is A Cytokine Storm?
Cytokines are compounds produced by the body’s immune system that attack and remove foreign bodies. Cytokines, produced by a number of different types of cells in response to infection that act as signals to other cells in the body, telling them to divide, or to produce certain proteins, or to cease their production. They assist, basically, in orchestrating portions of the immune response.
Simply put, a "cytokine storm" occurs when this regulation goes on overdrive and the molecules which are supposed to be protecting the body end up causing it harm by responding too strongly to the infection.
When our body detects foreign microorganisms indicating an infection, it can sometimes respond by over-protecting the site of infection. The body may race so many antibodies to the infection site that they collect in a cytokine storm. When the infection is in the lungs, for example, a cytokine storm can potentially block airways and result in suffocation.
The good list: Garlic, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Green Tea - got explanations with links for these as well as a bunch more good things to take.
The bad list: Elderberry, Chlorella and Spirulina, Honey, Chocolate - again, explanations and links as well as a bunch more to avoid.
Was very surprised at Elderberry - that is usually my go-to anti-viral and has proven effective time and again. Will keep an eye out for specific symptoms when dosing...
