NaturalProtectionStrategyAgainstViruses,includingtheCoronavirus
Everypersonhasmultiplevirusesintheirbodyandeveryonehasexperiencedaviralinfectionatsomepointintheirlife.Inspiteofthis,thevastmajorityofpeopleknowverylittleaboutvirusesandhowtheycanprotectthemselvesfromthepainandsufferingthatvirusescause.Whatareviruses?Virusesareverytinygerms;muchsmallerthanbacteria.Theyaremadeupofgeneticmaterialwithanoutsideproteinshell.Theyhavesomeveryuniquecharacteristics.
1. Theyarenotabletomakeproteinlikesomeothercells.2. Theyaretotallydependentontheirhostforsurvival.3. Theycanonlyreproducewhileinsideahostcell.4. Astrongimmunesystemcankeepvirusesfrommultiplying.5. Inacompromisedimmunesystem,thevirusinsertsitsgeneticmaterial

• Somecolds• Influenza• Chickenpox• HIV• Lyme• SomePneumonia• Shingles• Rubella
• Measles• Hepatitis• Herpes• Polio• Ebola• Smallpox• Mumps• EpsteinBarr
TreatmentsforviraldiseasesVirusesareverydifficulttotreatwithconventionalmedicalapproaches.Afewofthemoreeffectivetreatmentsinclude:

§ Ourbody’simmunesystemusesphagocytes,suchaswhite

§ VitaminCisneededbywhitebloodcellsat50timesthe
