“Certain lifestyle behaviors can boost interferon production and immune function, including sleep, vitamin D, and hot hydrotherapy. This Aliquot segment features Dr. Roger Seheult, a quadruple board-certified physician serving on the frontlines of COVID-19 care and co-founder of MedCram.”

“The authors reported that the antibody concentration needed to provide 50 percent protection is just 20 percent of the average concentration in recovered people three to four months following infection. The concentration needed to prevent severe COVID-19 disease is only 3 percent of convalescent levels.”

“1 00:31:21 - Approximately 70% of the US has either deficiency vitamin D or what is known as insufficiency. 1 00:33:51 - People of black ethnicity are twice as likely to die from COVID-19 than white people in England and Wales even after accounting for differences in some confounding factors.”

“It has been identified as a zinc ionophore which is a compound that can transport zinc ions across a cell membrane. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses quercetin's identified antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-1 and its role in zinc transport.”

“In the context of COVID-19, a large associative study suggested that lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D are strongly associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how to assess vitamin D requirements and its toxicity potential.”

“The evidence for immunity has been bolstered by successes observed in studies that have administered convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients to severely ill patients and noted that the virus cleared within a week.”

“An emerging area of interest in omega-3 research centers on immunity, specifically against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Recent data suggest that people with high omega-3 blood concentrations are half as likely to die from COVID-19 compared to those with low concentrations.”

“Since the invention of the omega-3 index, a host of research continues to emerge showing the importance of omega-3 status in risks ranging from cardiac-associated death to all-cause mortality to dementia and covid-19 severity.”

“Deficiencies in these micronutrients can delay this response, which could be important in the cytokine storm seen with severe COVID-19 patients. Preclinical models illustrate how EPA and DHA are converted into specialized pro-resolving mediators that are associated with protection against acute lung injury.”

“In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, MedCram emerged as a valuable resource, providing continuing coverage and perspectives as the global health crisis evolved. Dr. Seheult founded MedCram, a medical education platform to meet the needs of the digital generation of medical students and other healthcare professionals.”
