214: Fighting Viruses - Your Immune System Is Designed To Do That...Why Zinc Matters
27:57 Share

Your first line of defense against COVID-19 is not masks, gloves, moon suits, or distancing.  Your first line of defense is your natural immune system. Failure of your immune system and compromised immune systems are the number one factor in COVID-19 deaths.

Scientific studies have demonstrated there are very practical and straightforward resources available including the supplementation of zinc to quickly and effectively ensure a more robust, human immune system.

In a post-Covid environment it will only be our immune system’s that will continue to protect us against many deadly airborne viruses. In the politically charged environment of the year 2020, any hope offered, particularly if it has been mentioned by the President, whose first job is to provide vision and hope for the nation, has been met with false analysis and fake science to dismiss and disregard this most obvious of obligations: our need to protect ourselves first.

Commissioner Johnston explains that in any urgent situation our first obligation is to protect ourselves so that we might be able to protect others. If an aircraft is failing at altitude, oxygen masks drop down but our first requirement is to save our lives to keep ourselves conscious, that we might then be able to help others.

Commissioner Johnston relates the fact that it is not uncommon for us to face many dangers but it is our own actions and protection, rather than complete fear and avoidance, that allows us to live normal lives. Having very fair skin, Brian relays the story that he must protect himself naturally from over exposure to the sun.  He uses sunscreens and and gradual gentle exposure, because skin cancer is common in his family. There are, however, members of his family that have actually refused to go into the sun for fear of debilitating sunburn and the potential for skin cancer. This has dramatically limited their lives and left them just as vulnerable. They have nearly albino skin!   Fear and avoidance are not the best way to face the challenges of life.  We must prepare for the challenges of life and face them if we are to lead dynamic and meaningful lives.

President Trump cited the successful studies in France demonstrating that hydroxychloroquine was proven effective and dramatically so against a Covid-19 virus.  He was attacked by those who do not want there to be hope in this battle.  The immediate politicization by those who seek to limit control or actions through fear has been palpably evident.  Other studies are as compelling and demonstrate the efficacy both in vitro and in vivo of zinc's dramatic impact on numerous respiratory tract coronaviruses. https://aac.asm.org/content/48/3/783)

Commissioner Johnston takes a deep dive into the reason hydroxychloroquine is effective. He cites numerous studies as well as an interview from Med-Cram with Dr. Seheult which explains the operant quality of hydroxychloroquine is not that it kills the virus, but that it simply allows zinc to more efficiently enter the human cells that carry the virus. It is the zinc that actually stops the virus in its tracks.

Dr. Seheult's conclusion, as Commissioner Johnston’s, is that it is vital for our immune system, and in fighting ALL VIRUSES, that our bodies not have a zinc deficiency, as zinc is a vital element in an effective immune battle against these illnesses.
