Tips from Japanese Doctors who h

· Everyone should ensure your mouth and throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill the virus. If you don’t drink enough water regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and then the lungs. That is very dangerous.

· If you have a runny nose and sputum (mucus or phlegm) you have a common cold.

· This new virus is not heat resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 77 degrees (25 degrees Centigrade). It hates the sun.

· If someone sneezes with it, it goes about 10 feet (3 meters) before it drops to the ground as is no longer airborne.

· If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours – so if you come into contact with any metal surface, wash your hands as soon as you can with anti-bacterial soap.

· On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent will kill it.

· Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

· Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but a lot can happen during that time – you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.

· You should gargle as a preventive measure. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

If possible, filter your water so other pollutants in tap water will not tax your immune system. The purer the water you drink, the better off you are. I recommend a motorized water filter because the motor forces the water through a filter which has much smaller holes for filtering than those with just a gravity filter which must have larger holes in the filter so the water can drain thus allowing pollutants to get through. I use the Aquasana Clean machine which I find to work great. Here is the link and I am not selling them nor making anything on them. This is for suggestion for further protection . https://www.aquasana.com/ If you do not take a multi-vitamin, then start because it will help you. See the bottom of this article for suggestions along with other Immune Boosters.

1. It will first infect the throat, so you will have a sore throat for 3-4 days.

2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes place about 5-6 days afterward.

4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you are drowning. It’s imperative you then seek immediate medical attention.

Another important way to fight this virus is to boost your immune system. Please read the article from this link:

There is one thing that has been silent in this entire episode of COVID-19 and that is the suggestion for a person to take certain vitamins and minerals to boost their immune system for the prevention of this virus. The link above will take you to the article

on the Website of Dr. Mercola which is probably the best health website on line.

The Japanese Doctor’s tips and the COVID-19 Symptoms were given to us by the Crestwood Village 4 Clubhouse where I live as a courtesy to help us stay aloof from the virus.

Quercetin<<<This is a very important preventative look at the articles below! (200-500 mg - no more than 800 mg daily)

Vitamin D3 <<<This is important as D3 is now being shown to prevent the Corona Virus - Start with at least 5000 IU's per day. You cannot Overdose on D3.

For Multi-Vitamin - Multi-Mineral do not take Centrum or One a Day because they are ineffective and quite frankly garbage!

COVID-19 is causing terrifying lung failure in even young healthy patients. It causes ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). There is some evidence that this virus was weaponized in China. It is 30-60 times more deadly than the flu. In a very short amount of time it went from animal to animal, then animal to human and then human to human. There are now 2 strains (L &S), and some are saying that this can adapt like the flu does. Meaning, if you get it one year, you can it again the following year (as with the flu) England is preparing for 500,000 deaths by the Spring of 2021. Having optimal levels of Vitamin D is one of the first main defenses, as Vitamin D protects against ARDS:

"Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are the clinical manifestations of severe lung damage and respiratory failure. ALI and ARDS result are associated with high mortality in patients. At present, no effective treatments for ALI and ARDS exist...... However, in vivo and in vitro results indicated that a vitamin D agonist, calcitriol, significantly alleviated LPS-induced ALI to protect lungs." (link below)

"....only 25% of the virus-infected subjects in the NAC group developed flu symptoms, as contrasted to 79% of those of placebo. (Given the carnage that influenza wreaks among the elderly, it is most regrettable that no effort has been made to replicate this study, conducted over 20 years ago.) The particular utility of NAC in the elderly might reflect the fact that plasma cysteine levels and cellular glutathione levels tend to decline with advancing age" (link below)
