“Since then, countless studies have tested Pauling's theories about vitamin C, colds, and cancer (and many others), and a substantial body of evidence has emerged, identifying critical roles for vitamin C in immune function, cardiovascular and respiratory health, cognitive development and preservation, and many other aspects of human health.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses stroke risk, eczema, immune resilience, her new smoothie recipe, and whether everyone should cut out gluten.

“The evidence is not limited to vaccines. In one study, participants were deliberately exposed to a cold virus. Those who slept less than five hours a night were about 4.5 times more likely to develop a cold than people sleeping seven or more hours.”

“SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, stimulates the innate immune system, causing systemic inflammation that damages the lungs. Evidence suggests that those with the most severe cases of COVID are made sicker not by increased viral replication, but by unregulated inflammation.”

“In silico (computer modeling) experiments demonstrate that one of the mechanisms driving omega-3s' protective effects in the setting of COVID-19 may be related to their capacity to prevent the spike protein, the primary antigenic component of SARS-CoV-2, from binding to cellular receptors that allow the virus to enter cells.”

“A recent report describes the incidence of anaphylactic shock following immunization with the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, also known by its generic name tozinameran or its brand name Comirnaty, induces an immune response against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.”
