Currently, there is no vaccine that can be used against the virus that causes Covid-19, although drug companies like Johnson & Johnson and Cambridge-based Moderna are working on developing them. So researchers are instead investigating whether an infusion of antibodies alone can be used as a short-lived—but immediately available—treatment to protect doctors and hospital workers, as well as family members of infected patients who need it right away.

I believe this video was put out before numbers went up drastically in china, so he downplays the numbers somewhat. He recommends cutting sugar by fasting or going on a keto diet. He says:

The flu virus infection depends on cellular glucose. There's a really interesting research study that found when you increase glucose levels, you increase the flu infection rate. Now I'm not saying the coronavirus lives on glucose, it might, there's a lot of unknowns, but there's quite a few viruses that thrive in a glucose fueled environment.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21469913

A year later, Polish researchers used a double-blind experimental technique to demonstrate that earthing could cause statistically significant changes in the concentration of minerals and electrolytes in subjects' blood serum and urine. The results showed an increase in the concentration of gamma globulins α1, α2, β, and γ, "which are antibodies that strengthen the immune system." Continuous earthing was also shown to decrease blood glucose in patients with diabetes.

They are doing a covid-19 clinical trial on vitamin c. They appear to be looking for any and all solutions.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04264533

I have contacted a couple doctors to see if they would be up for supporting a clinical trial on earthing for the treatment of covid-19. (antibody production and reduces blood glucose levels)

[TheTexan]

Once we become a space-faring society, can we still do earthing? Can we "earth" on mars/moon/etc?

If we can't earth without being on earth, it might become a huge barrier to mankind exploring the stars.

Probably have to call it grounding instead, but I think you need an atmosphere and lightning bolts.

Isn't it just sloughing off your built up electrons by removing the barrier between you and the ground? I bet that'd work anywhere you could be barefoot.

Have found Dr Berg to be one of the most informative voices on youtube with great free advice ( incidentally learnt that he was cancelled once by corporate media advertizers approved Dr Oz. After they took his ideas first, Oz did the show without him using some of his ideas).
Don't know much about Corona but Keto and Vitamin C build immune system on top of various other benefits. Had tried limited Keto accidentally without knowing the concept ( just skipping breakfast occaionally when taking a break from working out/being lazy) and hightened mental focus benefits alone our powerful enough. Would think it's good for boosting immunity too as one feels better overall.

Add colloidal silver solution to your list. Super easy to make at home. Jug of distilled water in a glass container, a couple of 9v batteries connected together, wired to alligator clips or battery charger clamps, one .9999 silver coin in each clamp submerged halfway into the water (clamps DO NOT touch water), spaced about an inch apart. Let run about 8 hours. Done. No need for expensive rigs.

[JoshLowry]

(PRWEB) May 10, 2006 -- A Biology teacher from Australia, named Stephen Jones, has done extensive research into the H5N1 virus and compiled a list of natural foods that are effective against it and listed others that are detrimental.

The list may come as a surprise to many people since foods such as spirulina and echinacea are listed as detrimental. This strange occurrence is largely due to the fact that the virus is immune to 2 cytokines that the body produces (TNF-a and IL-6). Cytokines are compounds produced by the body’s immune system that attack and remove foreign bodies. The problem is that when a foreign body is immune to certain cytokines, the body sees that its immune response is not working and tries even harder, which can lead to what is called a cytokine storm, where the body becomes flooded with these compounds and they eventually destroy the body itself. Foods such as Echinacea actually stimulate the production of these specific cytokines; hence consuming it is not a good idea if one suspects they may have the virus.

During the 1918 Spanish Flu many healthy young people died from cytokine storms due to their immune systems overreacting. Consuming foods which suppress the production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6 and enhance the production of the ones that actually are effective against the virus will aid the patient greatly.

Other foods that create mucous in the respiratory tract, such as bananas, are also listed as detrimental due to the fact that the predominant breeding ground of the virus is the respiratory tract and another way in which a patient may suffer is due to the body's over production of mucous in this area.

Folk Medicines and Herbs to use and avoid with Bird Flu Below is a list of foods that are said to contain substances that are natural antivirals, immune boosters or they decrease cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.

Alternative medications that are most likely to help us during a severe pandemic:

Selenium - Highly effective against RNA viruses. Reduces RNA viral virulence, reduces IFNy, reduces IL-6, and has other anti-viral mechanisms including rapid clearance of virus and greater T cell production. Take 150-300mcg daily. Doses above 300mcg are toxic. (Pubmed PMID: 18384097 )

Garlic (allicin) - Very effective antiviral. Best if fresh (raw) and crushed. Must be consumed within 1 hour of crushing. Dosage is initially 2 to 3 cloves per day but later reduce until no body odour occurs. No toxic effects noted. (Pubmed PMID 9049657)

Vitamin C - Boosts the immune system and is an antiviral by blocking the enzyme neuraminadase. Viruses need neuraminadase to reproduce. There are anecdotal stories of people taking large amounts of Vitamin C (children ½) surviving the Spanish Flu. Research shows that it may reduce the production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. A study on 470 people involved giving the test group 1000 mg hourly for 6 hours and then 1000 mg 3 times daily after reporting flu symptoms. Symptoms decreased by 85%. (Pubmed PMID 10543583, 634178, 16169205, 12876306)

Green Tea (possible Tamiflu/Relenza alternative) - Very effective antiviral. Also decreases the production of the cytokine (catechins) TNF-a. Inhibits neuraminidase. May have antiviral activity that is equal to other antivirals such as Tamiflu. (Pubmed PMID 16137775)
St Johns Wort (Hypericum) - Very effective antiviral. Also decreases the production of the cytokine IL-6. Hypericum is an extract from St John’s Wort. There have been some very successful field trials in commercial flocks infected with H5N1 in Vietnam. (Pubmed PMID 7857513, 11518071, 11362353, 7857513, 11518071)

Vitamin E - Immune booster. Also decreases the production of the cytokine TNF-a. (Pubmed PMID 155882360, 10929076) Experiments involved using mice. Very suitable for immune compromised people, especially the elderly. Effects enhanced when taken with Vitamin C.

Apple Juice - Antiviral. Fresh apple juice including the pulp and skin has greater antiviral activity than heated commercial apple juice (Concentrate). More research is needed. Effectiveness on H5N1 is unknown. (Pubmed PMID 32832, 12452634)

Resveratrol - Antiviral. In addition to inhibiting neuraminidase, Resveratrol also sends a message to cells to stop manufacturing viruses. This is a proven antiviral found naturally in red wine, peanuts, mulberries, Japanese Knotwood root (richest source), raisins and red grapes. Resveratrol supplements are relatively inexpensive, are more stable than wine and is available in liquid form for absorption in the mouth. No toxic effects noted. (Pubmed PMID 1583880, 12817628, 15985724)

Scuttellaria (Skullcap) - Antiviral. A herb used as a tea. It has no side effects and is also a mild tranquilliser. Research suggests neuraminidase, which is a substance needed by the H5N1 virus to reproduce, may be inhibited.
Cranberry Juice - Early research shows that it may be an antiviral, making viruses less able to invade or multiply. Effectiveness on H5N1 is unknown. (Pubmed PMID15781126)

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) - Decreases the production of the cytokine TNF-a. Also boosts immune system. The number of white blood cells was significantly increased during treatment. No toxicity was noted. ( [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Active constituents can be found in the leaves, bark, vine, and roots. Water extraction from bark used. Children and pregnant women are to avoid. Has a potentially damaging effect on the DNA of proliferating cells. (cancers, foetuses, growing children)

Curcumin (Tumeric Spice) - Decreases the production of the cytokine TNF-a. This is the yellow compound in turmeric spice. Research shows that this may be very good for preventing a cytokine storm although this is not proven. Must be taken with food or gastritis or peptic ulcers may occur. Pregnant women and feeding mothers should avoid this. The medicinal properties of curcurnin cannot be utilised when used alone due to rapid metabolism in the liver and intestinal wall. When combined with Piperine found in black pepper the absorption is increased with no adverse effects. Obtainable from health stores in tablets, liquid, capsules already combined with piperine. Dosage is 500mg to 4000mg daily.

Astragalus root (Astragali Radix) - Boosts immune system. (Pubmed PMID15588652)

Tea tree Steam Inhalation - Reduces the cytokine TNF-a. Add 2 drops of tea tree oil in a bowl of steaming water. Cover head with a towel and inhale for 5 to 10 minutes. Relieves congestion and fights infection. Its effectiveness is unknown. (Pubmed PMID 11131302)

---

The following substances may be best to AVOID during a pandemic

Elderberry juice (Sambucal) - AVOID - Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. This substance is very effective against the common flu but may not be desirable for the H5N1 virus. Increases in these cytokines may trigger a lethal cytokine storm. (Isr Med Journal2002 Nov;4:944-6)

Micro Algae (Chlorella and Spirulina) - AVOID - Increases production of cytokine TNF-a. (Pubmed PMID 11731916)

Honey - AVOID - Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. (Pubmed PMID12824009)

Chocolate - AVOID - Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. (Pubmed PMID 12885154, PMID 10917928)

Echinacea - AVOID - Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. Although it is often used for normal flu, research shows that it may increase the chance of cytokine storms for H5N1. (Pubmed PMID 15556647, 9568541)

Kimchi - AVOID - Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. (Pubmed PMID15630182)

Dairy products & Bananas - AVOID - These foods increase mucous production. References:

Had to revisit this now that corona learning is becoming a mandate almost

Excellent ideas for boosting immune system. Coupled with frequent handwashing and limiting exposure/appropriate 'social distancing' etc, it should be pretty comprehensive safety regiment for most people.
Sunshine and exercise seem obvious after reading this but are rarely being mentioned by experts in media.
Wanted to check if indoors sunlight passing through glass windows/doors has somewhat similar sanitizing benefits, turns out it does:



Grandma Was Right: Sunshine Helps Kill Germs Indoors

October 18, 2018
Kathleen O'Neil

University of Oregon scientists used real dust from inside homes around Portland to test the effects of sunlight, UV light and darkness on bacteria found in the dust.

Even before Florence Nightingale advised that hospitals be designed to let daylight in, people observed that sunshine helps keep you healthy. But there was not much research to explain why that's the case, especially inside buildings.
Researchers at the University of Oregon set up a study of dusty, dollhouse-size rooms to compare what happens in rooms exposed to daylight through regular glass, rooms exposed to only ultraviolet light and those kept dark. They used a mix of dust collected from actual homes in the Portland area and let the miniature rooms sit outdoors while keeping the insides at a normal room temperature.
After 90 days (because that's how long dust can hang around, even if you vacuumed), they sampled the dust and analyzed the types of bacteria present.
What they found surprised them and confirmed what your grandmother already knew: Rooms exposed to daylight have fewer germs. In fact, the study showed that the lit rooms had about half the viable bacteria (those that are able to grow), compared with dark rooms. Rooms that were exposed only to UV light had just slightly less viable bacteria than ones exposed to daylight. Their research was published Wednesday in the journal Microbiome.

Got anything more definitive? It does say if an illness is getting BAD/WORSE to stop taking it. The idea behind silver, really, is to head off the illness in the first place by killing the virus before it takes hold. It's worth looking into whether there's any proof to their advice, though, so thanks for the heads-up. I think the real goal is to not get sick in the first place.

Little bit of googling seems to confirm. Ok, so not confirmed. Wanted to put up a disclaimer first. Will keep digging. Been reading everything Vitamin C lately.

I don't believe this is a game of prevention, but one of treatment. I assume the majority are going to get it as Harvard professor stated 40%-70%

Our society isn't currently in a state of quarantine, so it's probably out there spreading in a percentage of the many cash transactions and gatherings going on as we speak. Lot of speculation on my end, I hope this is all just going to blow over tomorrow.
