Comment<\/em><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The decision by Americans to optimize their immunity through the use of dietary supplements is supported by numerous scientific studies.<\/p>\n

A team of researchers from Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, Spain, recently examined whether high-dose vitamin D<\/a> can reduce the risk of death in hospitalized coronavirus patients. Impressively, they found that if given early enough the vitamin cut the risk of death by a dramatic 60 percent. This suggests an outcome twice as effective as that attributed to the steroid dexamethasone, a medication currently considered the most effective drug for treating the virus. Patients given vitamin D in the study were also found to be 80 percent less likely to need intensive care treatment.<\/p>\n

Studies carried out at the Dr. Rath Research Institute have shown that specific combinations of micronutrients can\u00a0block the interaction<\/a>\u00a0between the binding site of the coronavirus \u2018spike\u2019 and its specific cellular \u2018entry door\u2019 into human cells \u2013 the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.\u00a0The interaction targeted in this research is the first step in coronavirus infections and the same biological mechanism targeted by COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n

Other researchers similarly following a multi-nutrient approach have shown that daily doses of\u00a0vitamin D3, magnesium, and vitamin B12<\/a>\u00a0reduce disease severity in older coronavirus patients. They found that use of this micronutrient combination significantly reduced the proportion of patients suffering clinical deterioration who required oxygen and\/or intensive care support.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0critical micronutrient<\/a>\u00a0for fighting the coronavirus pandemic is vitamin C. A recent randomized, placebo-controlled\u00a0clinical intervention study<\/a>\u00a0carried out in Wuhan, China, with patients at advanced stages of the infection, has documented that high-dose vitamin C can cut the death rate almost in half.<\/p>\n

To read how researchers at the Dr. Rath Research Institute have demonstrated that combining vitamin C with other natural compounds impedes key mechanisms of coronavirus infection, see this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
