Coronavirus Education

Your immune system fights for you and protects you against infectious disease. Your immune response is measured through inflammation and associated markers. When you have a cold, your inflammatory markers elevate. The elevate more so if you have the flu. In COVID-19, patients who are profoundly ill or die, experience a tragically high increase in inflammation and we call that a “cytokine storm.” Please note that COVID-19 is NOT special. The markers that elevate in COVID-19 are the same that elevate in any infectious disease. However, in COVID-19, in instances of severe disease, the go up to levels that can cause significant collateral damage and may lead quickly to death from the disease. The main cause(s) of death in the coronavirus and the disease, COVID-19, is edema, necrosis of lung tissue, or hypoxia (lack of oxygen supplied by the blood). Everyone has some level of low-grade inflammation, the level of which may predict your vulnerability to severe COVID-19 symptoms. An available blood test can help you determine your predisposition to dying from the novel coronavirus infection.

Jay Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford Medicine and a core faculty member at Stanford Health Policy. His March 24, 2020, commentary in the Wall Street Journal questions the premise that “coronavirus would kill millions without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines.” In the article he suggests that “there’s little evidence to confirm that premise—and projections of the death toll could plausibly be orders of magnitude too high.” Here he presents his thesis that COVID-19 is not as deadly as reported and discusses the severe financial and health consequences of over-reacting or over-reporting the severity of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

Zinc disrupts the replication of certain virus as is scientifically proven to do so against SARA-CoV and by extension, to SARA-CoV-2 the virus that causes COVID-19. Listen to Dr. Roger Seheult explain a research paper that shows how Zinc inhibits viral replication. Also, watch Dr. Justin Marchegiani provide advice on Zinc supplements and appropriate Zinc dosage.  

Michael Carter MD discusses If you are hospitalized for COVID-19 from the coronavirus, how you are treated will be a life or death matter. We are learning from Italian and Chinese researchers and doctors that COVID-19 may present with symptoms in 2 very different ways. They are called Type-L pneumonia for blood hypoxia-driven disease, and Type-H pneumonia for lung pneumonia-driven disease. The type you have should, but may not, dictate treatment. Currently, some medical professionals believe that treating the “hypoxia” syndrome of COVID-19 with a high-pressure ventilator is wrong and may do more harm than good. Known the differences between the 2 types of severe COVID-19 symptoms and make sure any hospital or ICU you go to, if you have the disease, also knows the difference and will apply different treatments based on symptoms. Most hospital ERs and ICUs will be using ventilators only so consider calling facilities near you to see if they also use high concentration of oxygen without high pressure, under appropriate circumstances.

MIT colleagues demonstrate that cough and sneeze micro droplets may stay airborne for up to 25 feet. With masks at a premium, many people are resorting to DIY masks made at home. Most DIY masks are made of cotton or paper towel. These materials RAPIDLY absorb water thus the virus may get INSIDE the mask into your breathing zone. We tested some over-the-counter water repellent products to see if we could improve the performance of a home made mask. We were successful! Watch and find out how to better protect yourself from exposure to the Coronavirus and COVID-19.

You need to protect yourself from the coronavirus if you go out in public. And this includes avoiding exposure to even distant sneezes and coughs. According to breaking MIT research, “The next time you feel a sneeze coming on, raise your elbow to cover up that multiphase turbulent buoyant cloud you’re about to expel. “When you cough or sneeze, you see the droplets, or feel them if someone sneezes on you,” says John Bush, a professor of applied mathematics at MIT, and co-author of a new paper on the subject. “But you don’t see the cloud, the invisible gas phase. The influence of this gas cloud is to extend the range of the individual droplets, particularly the small ones.” The new limit of safety is 25 feet from someone who is ill with COVID-19 and coughs or sneezes. You may not be able to avoid this exposure so a face mask becomes a necessity. Here we show how far a sneeze can spread droplet. We also show one of the easiest to make do it yourself (DIY) protective face mask.

Dr. Mignonne Mary of The Remedy Room in New Orleans discusses Zinc and NAD for treatment of the Coronavirus. Zinc is an essential trace element that is crucial for growth, development, and the maintenance of immune function. Its influence reaches all organs and cell types. Zinc deficiency is rampant globally. Zinc has been shown to mediate antiviral effects against certain viruses. Clinical studies showed that zinc significantly shortens the duration of symptoms during rhinovirus (cold) infection. Zinc also enhances the host response to many infections and plays an important role in the homeostasis of the immune system. Zinc does influence antiviral immunity, particularly as seen in zinc-deficient populations who frequently acquire viral infections such as HIV or hepatitis C virus. Paragraph Dr. Magnonne has been using NAD+ in patients recovering from the novel coronavirus. Even after conquering COVID-19, regaining energy is often slow. NAD+ has some extraordinary properties, making it extremely useful in body processes ranging from turning the body’s nutrients into forms of energy, and working as a catalyst or helper molecule for other processes involving proteins in the body. It binds to other proteins, enabling cells to carry on various processes ranging from renewal and regeneration to energy production.

Dr. Mignonne Mary from The Remedy Room is a national leader in innovative wellness with a focus on disease prevention, nutritional medicine and IV Therapy. History: Dr. Charles Mary, Jr., her father, is a pioneer in the field of IV Vitamin Therapy and one of the first physicians in the U.S. to introduce IV Vitamin Therapy. Today: Due to COVID-19 she is working with the highest levels of the Louisiana government to train traditional doctors on the use of IV Vitamin C therapy and other nutrients to reduce the burden of chronic diseases and COVID-19 in her state. Vitamin C has randomized controlled clinical studies that show it has significant efficacy against virus and respiratory tract infection. This is contrary to conventional wisdom that attempts to claim there is no strong evidence for the action of vitamin C against viruses like the one that causes COVID-19. Watch Dr. Mary as she explains how she is using high dose IV (intravenous) vitamin C in her practice to battle the coronavirus and COVID-19 today.
