Social life is being disturbed, basic civil rights are being taken away, and economic damage is occurring in unprecedented proportions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all this, neither the so-called \u2018experts\u2019 nor the politicians they advise are providing people with the most basic \u2013 and potentially life-saving \u2013 health advice: An optimum intake of vitamins and other essential micronutrients is a key measure for anyone to strengthen their immune system. This scientific fact \u2013 recognized by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobelprize.org\/prizes\/themes\/the-nobel-prize-and-the-discovery-of-vitamins-2\/\">nine Nobel Prizes<\/a>\u00a0and documented in countless textbooks of biology and biochemistry around the world \u2013 is essentially absent from every public health recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>While the search for an effective and safe vaccine to help control the coronavirus pandemic remains important, the deliberate silence over natural ways to strengthen the immune system, which are readily available right now, is outright irresponsible. This silence is not accidental. It happens in the interest of corporate entities that are trying to gain enormous economic advantage from the coronavirus crisis, namely, the pharmaceutical investment business.<\/p>\n<p>To read Dr. Rath\u2019s in-depth analysis of the current situation, see his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2020\/03\/open-letter-2020-pandemic\/\">Open Letter to the People and Governments of the World<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button  button_left button_size_2 button_js\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/carlieporterfield\/2020\/04\/16\/un-coronavirus-depression-could-kill-hundreds-of-thousands-of-children-this-year\/#2cde91223e16\" target=\"_blank\"    ><span class=\"button_icon\"><i class=\"icon-right-open-big\" ><\/i><\/span><span class=\"button_label\">Read article at forbes.com (USA)<\/span><\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations is warning that the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic may be more dangerous than the virus itself for the world\u2019s children, saying that hundreds of thousands could die this year and tens of millions more be plunged into poverty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[134],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
