“COVID-19 can cause a wide range of symptoms, varying from mild cold-like symptoms to severe life-threatening respiratory distress. While all children are susceptible to COVID-19, the vast majority have mild symptoms, and fewer than 1 percent of cases progress to severe disease.”

“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.”

“Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard for scientific research, but they are time-consuming and expensive. The lack of existing evidence about how to treat COVID-19 has inspired creative reasoning in emergency rooms and critical care units across the globe.”

“Interferons are responsible for the hallmark symptoms of an infection: fever, muscle pain, and "flu-like" symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 – attempts to evade the immune system by suppressing the interferon response.”

“Omega-3 is not a treatment for COVID-19. However, interesting preliminary research shows some correlation between omega-3 blood levels and the severity of COVID-19 disease. In this clip, Dr. Bill Harris discusses both the correlative evidence and the in silico data suggesting that omega-3 DHA may hamper SARS-CoV-2's ability to bind to the ACE2 receptor.”

“Traditional vaccines carrying inactivated viral proteins are also in development. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult explains how the current COVID-19 vaccines differ and describes his personal immunization experience.”

“In a study of over 190,000 people tested for SARS-CoV-2, lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were strongly associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates, despite race/ethnicity, age, sex, and latitude. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult describes the interesting similarity between COVID-19 risk factors and vitamin D deficiency risk factors.”

“Converging evidence suggests that the long-term impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick describe long-haul COVID-19 and its ramifications for young people.”

Maintaining healthy vitamin D status may be an important, often overlooked factor in protecting against COVID-19-associated lung injury.

“A fundamental discovery revealed that early- versus late-stage COVID-19 disease often requires radically different treatment protocols. Early-stage illness dictates bolstering the innate antiviral immune response, a process governed by the action of interferon.”
