Common dietary supplements could protect against COVID, common winter illnesses (Zinc picolinate, Taxifolin, and EGCG together provided most free zinc - up to 95% reduction in RNA viruses)

Could dietary supplements become a healthy weapon against COVID-19? Experts have shown that common dietary supplements can protect against the coronavirus as well as several common winter illnesses.

Prof. Gazit, who also heads TAU's Blavatnik Center for Drug Discovery, said: "To address the rapid changes of the virus, we decided to develop active vaccines made of safe and easily obtainable dietary supplements that would reduce the viral load in the body and cut down contagion. We have known for years that food supplements containing zinc can enhance immunity to severe, viral and chronic infections and their potentially grave consequences."

The researchers found that the consumption of zinc alone achieves a relatively low cellular content. To enhance the effect, they combined the zinc with flavonoids—polyphenolic compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. They also added copper in order to prevent an ionic imbalance and improve the treatment's effectiveness.

Prof. Segal adds: "Advanced lab tests, including PCR, have shown that the new vaccines we developed did in fact reduce the viral load. We found a 50 to 95% decrease in the genomic replication of various groups of RNA viruses, including COVID-19, the flu virus, and others. These results are very promising, possibly enabling the development of an orally administered biological shelf treatment. Such a product will be safe, natural, and effective against several types of viruses, including new mutations and variants—clearly an important step forward."

Prof. Bacharach concludes: "We are all taught from a young age that good medicine includes preventive medicine. The product which we hope to offer will cover a wide range of winter illnesses, including COVID and the flu. The interesting aspect is the treatment's potential flexibility: We found that a combination of several flavonoids with zinc helps protect cells against a wide range of RNA viruses."

Quercetin as a substitute for taxifolin in the formula, came in second best.

Taxifolin is available at health food stores.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Isn’t this exactly what Dr Zev Zelenko (along w/other docs) has been telling us since early 2020? 🤔

Of interest to those researching.

“There has got to be more going on here than the virus.

There is a dog that is not barking.”

- From a FReeper posted earlier today.

- - - - - - - - -

The below video interview may answer many of the issues raised by the persons being pinged here.
Have had many of the same questions for two years now.

If the information in the video below, presented succinctly and with compelling detail by the interviewee, is accurate - as it appears to be - regarding what C19 is really, and from whence it came - it will simplify all personal decisionmaking considerably.

Caveat: Never really considered that snake venom could be involved, but it certainly does explain why so much antivenom has been pulled off the world market. Also, why specific nutrients are effective.

EGCG is the ionophore…that opens the cell door, to allow the zinc to enter. The zinc can then destroy the viral replication.

Dr Z preached this, nonstop, and was vilified by faux FRoctors, FRAUDci, etc, to no end.

it is suggested to only take it 2-3 times a week- long term dosing might cause issues- and there are side effects- such as platelet reduction- it also may affect liver- possible bleeding issues as well as a number of less serious issues- possible- but likely due to large intake of EGCG

One anecdotal report, I have been taking Zinc Picolinate and Quercetin everyday for over a year and a half. Although I haven’t died of SARS, I also haven’t had any reduction at all in the number of colds and influenza bouts I have had.

My (overweight and diabetic) wife got Covid in November of 2020. As soon as she displayed the first “for sure” symptoms of losing her sense of smell and taste, I started her on 50 mg of zinc together with green tea extract (ECGC) and quercetin, twice a day (with meals, to avoid stomach upset from the zinc). She said that for 5 days she felt like she had been hit by a truck, but never experienced any breathing difficulties, and bringing her to the doc (let alone the hospital) was never an issue. I attribute that to the combination of those supplements (plus a good multivitamin and plenty of Vitamin C - but it was the zinc that I was looking at mainly, as it effectively stops the replication of viruses). We didn’t, at the time, have HCQ, but I merely looked up “zinc ionophores” and found a list of them. We already had plenty of the green tea extract and the quercetin, so I used them.

FYI, about a month later we went to Mexico and got 40 HCQ tablets over the counter for about $90 - they’re still in the medicine cabinet awaiting use if one of us gets it. However, in view of this article, I think that I’ll stick with the ECGC and quercetin...though I’m going to examine Taxifolin (which I had never heard of before this, and I consider myself pretty well informed about supplements and health). The bottom line is that God has provided nutrients to improve our health in nature, we just have to look to find them - and they are usually better (and have less side effects and interactions) than man-made drugs (though certainly not always - one cannot be inflexible about this subject from either side, you have to be open-minded and find out what is objectively the best medicine or combination of medicines and use that.

Isn’t ECGC the compound found in green tea?
I have been taking it for years but during pandemic added homemade tonic water, zinc, quercetin, D and B 12. Magnesium and melatonin at night.
Not even a sniffle…

“There has got to be more going on here than the virus. There is a dog that is not barking.”
Yep. The venom angle is very interesting. Earlier researchers ran Covid's "codons" against a database of all known codons and discovered matches for the Chinese krait and King cobra, both among the deadliest snakes in the world. If true, it means those mRNA injections are instructing the body to produce protein bits identical to deadly venom. And the basket of side effects match those of snake venom. Very weird.

Yes. Makes too much sense.

Noted, expanded, and explained in video.

Will now go watch again. Always miss something first viewing.

Latest FLCCC I-Mask+ Protocol. NAC can be added, too. The precursor to this was the East Virginia Medical School protocol by Dr. Paul Marek until he was let go.

“...it will simplify all personal decisionmaking considerably.” Yes, it will. Explains a great deal in my case. Had it twice and it didn’t go to my lungs either time. I nearly stepped on a Copperhead as a young boy hunting with dad. When I found out Lisinopril was snake venom based I was livid, never trusted a doctor since. More to think about per the video... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ft+thomas+nuns+get+covid&t=h_&ia=web

You wrote “I also haven’t had any reduction at all in the number of colds and influenza bouts I have had.”

I’ve been taking Zinc Picolinate, Quercetin, Vit D3, Vit C, Melatonin, and NAC for two years now and have not had a single respiratory infection. Zero colds and zero influenza. I normally got one to two colds per year. Three years ago, I had a very serious bout of walking pneumonia that I thought was going to kill me.

I added Nigella Sativa a few months back based on the FLCCC I-MASK+ protocol recommendation.

If I DO feel a sore throat starting, I hit it with a povidone iodine gargle and nasal mist. That has knocked out several incipient sore throats (which were always the first sign of a cold coming on).
