[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 174527, member: 15235"] - Something that seems very fundamental but which I have not seen anywhere would be a simple correlation between disease trajectory and nutrient status, specifically Vitamin D, [B]Zinc[/B], Vitamins C and A, Selenium, lithium, iodine and magnesium. All of these are part of immune function and many people have been reported to be low in many of these ("low" in comparison to optimal, not minimum levels). LDL cholesterol would be interesting too since it is know to have immune functions. Has anyone seen a high-quality look at this? - The often-repeated statement that immunity declines in older people may be substantially preventable and/or reversible. For example, melatonin and products of the thymus gland both decline with age and have immune function, but both can be supplemented. Unfortunately, as many here are aware, the NIH/CDC have generally refused to fund studies focused on reducing the affects of aging. Interestingly, the studies and observations showing that elderly with high-LDL live longer could be partially due to immune benefits. - There are apparently multiple strains of the virus which may have very different characteristics. This could explain some of the wide variation in symptoms being reported, so saying that N number of people will ultimately be exposed to the virus doesn't have much meaning until the different strains are better studied and the protection conferred (or risks) based on various supplement strategies is better understood. - Also, from what little I know about the near-term "vaccine" calling it a vaccine seems deceptive since it, from what I understand, does not have an adjuvant and may confer cell-mediated immunity (both probably good) but is even less well-understood long-term that normal vaccines (probably bad). Having a reserve of resilience and good health including optimized nutrient status will likely always be the foundation of a good survival plan. [/QUOTE]
