The word “corona” comes from the word “crown.” The coronavirus has small projections that look like a little crown—the little projections like lung tissue. In certain cases, especially critical coronavirus cases, a person can develop a condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). This is a situation where you have severe hypoxia, which means you have a lack of oxygen. Other symptoms are: • Rapid breathing • Dizziness • Breathlessness • Sweating What’s missing with COVID-19 is two nutrients: 1. Vitamin D 2. Zinc 90% of patients with ARDS have very low vitamin D levels. • Vitamin D is an immune modulator • It can help greatly improve the immune system • It’s a great anti-inflammatory Zinc is one of the most important nutrients for your lungs. • It can help reduce inflammation • If you’re deficient in zinc, an infection can last longer • If you’re deficient in zinc, you’re more susceptible to infections, viruses, and bacteria • If you’re deficient in zinc, you don’t have the full capacity of your white blood cells (your army) Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
