I take 1400mg supplements a day!...............
Omega-3. I guess I’ll add that to my daily routine of a men’s multi vitamin, zinc, D-3, magnesium, melatonin, tonic water and beer.
Maybe another factor might be less dangerous Covid infections for those of us, who get our Omega 3 on a regular basis.
I take every winter for dry eyes. Works well.
1. Study was 100 people.
2. Not placebo controlled, double blind.
3. Not confirmed elsewhere.
4. Funded by the self interested fish oil producers.
5. Conveniently tied to Covid.
6. Just as the recent science arrived showing fish oil has no heart health benefits, the previous entire markwt for the stuff.
I think I’ll stand by.
Just looked at the list of Omega 3 super foods. The only one I like is walnuts.
Looks like taking those fish oil capsules for the last 20 yeats has more benefits than I knew of.
Um, don’t Chinese people generally eat plenty of fish?
Italians too?
Doesn’t seem to have helped them much.

The Wisdom of Dr. Bonnie Henry
1. We may have to live with COVID-19 for months or years. Let’s not deny it or panic.
Let’s not make our lives useless. Let’s learn to live with this fact.
2. You can’t destroy COVID-19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water you’ll just go to the bathroom more often.
3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-meter physical distance is the best method for your protection.
4. If you don’t have a COVID-19 patient at home,
there’s no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.
5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection.
If you wash your hands, live your life as usual.
6. COVID-19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the ‘flu.
There is no demonstrated risk that COVID-19 is transmitted by food.
7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections.
This is only a non-specific symptom of COVID-19.
8. Once at home, you don’t need to change your clothes urgently and go shower!
Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!
9. The COVID-19 virus doesn’t hang in the air for long.
This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.
10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens and through parks
(just keeping your physical protection distance).
11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against COVID-19, not antibacterial soap.
This is a virus, not a bacteria.
12. You don’t have to worry about your food orders.
But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.
13. The chances of bringing COVID-19 home with your shoes is like being struck
by lightning twice in a day. I’ve been working against viruses
for 20 years — drop infections don’t spread like that!
14. You can’t be protected from the virus by taking vinegar,
sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.
15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing
and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.
16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove
and be easily transmitted if you touch your face.
Better just to wash your hands regularly.
Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment.
Even if you eat immune boosting foods,
please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach.
Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS,
not by sitting at home and consuming fried/ spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.
Be smart and stay informed! Live life sensibly and to the fullest.
Be Kind, Be Calm and Be Safe!
Sincerely, Dr. Bonnie Henry
I think this is also worth forwarding to your friends and family.
Eat sardines! A can or two a week is all you need.
i am going to go get the pickled herring today to see if I can handle it. I may have to mask it with eggs and cream cheese
Looks like my heavy salmon diet is going to pay off. Oh, and already getting and surviving the Chinese Commie Bug back in Feb.
We knew this. Just like HQC, Vit D3, Zinc and Vit C. Of course, all these were bad during orange man times.
THE PRICE HAS TO BE PAID!
people in general are unlikely to die from covid.
Do yourself a favor if you are going to proceed on this news. First of all if you are already on RX Vesacepa for high trigs / heart health you are covered. If you are looking for OTC then do yourself a favor and look for one that is EPA Omega 3 only (like Vascepa is) DHA Omega 3 has shown it cancels out the heart / Inflammation benefits of EPA Omega 3.
Personally I take either Omegavia EPA only or Carlson EPA Elites. both OTC. Not cheap, but I’m confident it is as close as you will get to poor mans Vascepa. Vascepa had a limited Canadian study for Covid recovery with remarkable results. A large double blind study is in the works.
