“SARS-CoV-2 attempts to evade the immune system by suppressing the interferon response. Dr. Roger Seheult shares the findings of two recent studies in which researchers identified a connection between an impaired interferon response and severe COVID-19 disease.”

“Several months have passed since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Yet how long the virus resides in the human body and how the disease progresses remain unknown.”

“Vitamin D3's role in immune function | Rhonda Patrick. Vitamin D may reduce susceptibility to COVID-19-associated lung injury | Rhonda Patrick. Supplementing with Vitamin D while breastfeeding prevents infant deficiency | Rhonda Patrick.”

“Learn about the plausibility of this effect from this clip featuring Dr. Bill Harris: "Omega-3 DHA may influence COVID-19 severity". Improved neurocognitive health Brain tissue is abundant in omega-3 fatty acids, with DHA comprising approximately 30 percent of the brain's lipids.”

“Detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection pre-symptomatically When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Dr. Snyder's laboratory began investigating whether heart rate data might be able to inform SARS-CoV-2 infected people before symptoms arose, allowing them to get tested and self-quarantine.”

“Mask wearing and social distancing are important practices for reducing the spread of COVID-19. However, room ventilation matters too. Opening windows, as weather permits, may help curb disease transmission.”

“Some people surmise that if the viral spike protein is dangerous — because it allows the virus to enter cells — then vaccine-related spike proteins render vaccines unsafe. COVID-19 vaccines contain different spike proteins than the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”

“To learn more about COVID-10 see the FoundMyFitness COVID-19 Q&A 1 & 2 Zinc also helps control infections by preventing excess inflammatory signals mediated by the innate immune system. Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system.”

“The immunity conferred in breast milk has relevance for COVID-19. A small, prospective cohort study investigated whether antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, are present in the breast milk of women vaccinated against the disease.”

“While no data suggest that sauna use has a direct effect on acute COVID-19 infection, there's a convincing argument that sauna use promotes broader changes in immune function that may bolster defense in a contextually beneficial way.”
