Don’t Believe The Mainstream Media: Studies Show Antioxidants Improve COVID-19 Clinical Outcomes

A new systematic review of observational and interventional studies examines the use of antioxidants in patients with COVID-19. Published in the Food Science & Nutrition journal, the results demonstrate highly beneficial roles for this class of micronutrients in reducing inflammation, ventilation requirement, hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, mortality, and other aspects of coronavirus care. Confirming that intravenous supplementation with vitamin C significantly decreases mortality from COVID-19 in severe cases, and that studies show vitamin D, selenium, and zinc similarly play positive roles in fighting the disease, the researchers conclude that antioxidants can improve clinical outcomes.

In contrast, drugs are usually synthetic substances that can cause many side effects and interactions in the body. On top of that, they are usually only able to mask or alleviate symptoms. So while many micronutrients are absolutely vital, quite a few drugs even have life-damaging properties. Nevertheless, it is precisely the fact that drugs always carry the risk of causing further diseases that makes that inhumane business model all the more attractive for the pharmaceutical investment industry.
