There are no special “get out of jail free” cards when we talk about coronavirus. Many leaders around the world have become infected and walked the road to recovery. Now President Trump has the virus and has moved to Walter Reed Memorial Hospital for treatment. So what protocol is used to help the current leader of the United States of America recover as quickly as possible?
The protocol given to the President includes Vitamin D and zinc. When you observe that these are among the first items administered by doctors to the President of the United States, how important do you think these would be for you to effectively build up your immune system?
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is one of only 2 vitamins able to activate the nucleus of your cell to turn on the effective chemistry to help the cell survive and thrive. Blood measures of Vitamin D are typically lower in elderly, Black, and Hispanic individuals, which have also been the most effected by this virus.
In research out of Germany, a direct association between Vitamin D levels and death rate was observed. Death from coronavirus was significantly lowered where Vitamin D levels were above 30 ng/ml.
Ask your doctor for a Vitamin D check or go to Grassroots Health to get a personal test kit delivered to your door.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral for the immune system and a common mineral for Americans to be deficient. Zinc combines with proteins to form special “zinc fingers” which enable the white blood cells to complete the job of “hand to hand” combat with the virus.
Foods rich in zinc include red meat, beans, and pumpkin seeds. Supplements containing zinc that absorb most effectively include zinc orotate, zinc gluconate, and zinc acetate. Best absorption will also happen when you take zinc between meals.
