The new coronavirus has rapidly infected millions around the globe. Most efforts to control the spread of the virus have focused on handwashing, disinfecting surfaces, wearing masks, social distancing, and providing medical care. In the minds of many, the only hope for halting the virus is finding an effective medicine until a vaccine is developed. However, many simple, effective, and inexpensive protective steps one can take are seldom mentioned.
A recent study demonstrated that ultraviolet rays of sunlight “rapidly inactivated” the coronavirus on multiple test surfaces (Newsweek, May 22, 2020). Another study suggested a strong correlation between COVID-19 mortality rates and severe vitamin D deficiency (Medical Xpress, May 8, 2020)—a condition associated with lack of sufficient time outdoors and exposure to sunlight (ScienceDaily, March 9, 2020). Dietary sources of vitamin D include eggs, milk, cheese, and fish. Vitamin C is also a vital nutrient that aids in protecting against infections, especially in physically active individuals (“Vitamin C and Infections,” Nutrients, April 2017). It can be obtained naturally from citrus, cantaloupe, berries, mangoes, papaya, broccoli, and potatoes. And moderate physical exercise, especially outdoors, can strengthen the immune system and aid the body in fighting infections.
While it is important to prevent transmission of the coronavirus, let’s not forget that vital nutrients like vitamins C and D, exposure to sunlight and fresh air, and regular physical exercise also play key roles in strengthening one’s immune system and reducing the risk of infection.The Chief Overseer wishes that LCG had given more homeopathic remedies for its members to take and felt the need to correct them by telling them what else they should be doing.
LCG is correct about this (though it would have been good to also have mentioned zinc). I been have making nutrient-related posts at the COGwriter website for months
While it would have been better if LCG did this earlier, it is good that finally they are telling people that there are proper steps to be taken, as opposed to only focusing on avoidance.
Prayer and proper fasting should also be considered...What the hell is "proper fasting"? The Thielite version? Herbert Armstrong's? Rod Meredith's? James Malm's?
In the mythical deluded world of Bob Thiel everyone is wrong except for him. No COG knows the Bible, world history, the Catholic church, and prophecy better than he. No one in the church is more informed about nutritional health than he is.
Forget god. He is useless for healing.
ReplyDeleteThe key is to keep your immune system healthy. Eat spinach. And get Vitamins A, C and D. The virus has zero chance on healthy people. A healthy immune system is the key. This is well known, but big pharma can make a lot more money selling vaccines. And, of course, the left wants to collapse the economic system. And the enviro-crazies don't like industry at all.
Anon 9:18 PM is partially right. If you don't take care of your immune system, you WILL suffer disease. Even if it isn't COVID-19, your compromised immune system will catch SOMETHING.
ReplyDeleteHowever, even if you eat your spinach and take all the vitamin supplements your body needs, and you then spend 20 minutes sitting right next to someone with COVID-19, there's still a very good chance you'll get the virus. Your immune system isn't infinite, and it you force it to spend too long fighting off the virus load being shed by the person sitting next to you, you'll get infected too.
So, yes, eat right and get your vitamins. But also avoid all but the briefest close contacts with people unless you know they aren't infected.
PROPER fasting is when you send to your Church Headquarters the money you would have spent on food.
ReplyDeleteIs the answer combining ZINC and following NORBERT LINK??
ReplyDelete(wink , wink!) :-)
And in Bob's latest sermon, 17 Last Days' Signs of the Holy Spirit, the parts I've listened to so far are all about Me, Me, Me...

,hat's how it seems to me with massage therapy at the clinic. Seeking honest views personally.
The clinic is open with all the procedures in place to protect the client from the therapist it seems. Mask, optional gloves, temp checks for both therapist and clients. This does not address the asymptomatic of course which is a concern. The client does not have to wear a mask. Rooms are small and closed for 60 and 90 minutes for each session. I'd like to work of course but can get by on SS if need be. I love the work and have many good clients but at 70, of course, I don't exactly fit in the no problem with that zone. Doc says not for another month. But it's open and I have been called back to work. I don't have to go in but if it is "safe" , which I guess what I am asking views on here, it just doesn't seem so. One false move.....
On top of that, this area is rife with conspiracy theories on Covid. It's not real, it's not that bad, it's Bill Gates, It's the Chinese, "Its 5G" and of course, it is God trying to tell us all something.
I love the work and most of the clients. I don't trust where they have been, how they have behaved, their politics and associations or if they just got home from Church.
Of course I know the answer at the moment, but help me out here.
Will Zinc solve all my concerns???
:)
Any real healthcare professionals in the house with real insights and advice for me personally
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteNow there's something I don't think I've heard before! Bob claims Rod Meredith didn't ordain him as a prophet because that meant Bob would then be higher than him in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. So in the CCOG, does Bob the Prophet "outrank" Bob the Overseer?
Dream on... so Bob's "fulfilled dreams" should prove the everyone ("Philadelphians" and non-"Philadelphians") that they should listen to him. Too bad God never revealed to him anything of world-shattering significance.
Dennis - I am not a healthcare professional, but I am the same age as you.
ReplyDeleteI am staying at home. I do have the advantage of being able to work remotely though.
I believe better safe than sorry.
Your profession requires close physical contact - I don't see how you eliminate all your added risk.
Dennis, you might find this useful, from a professor of Biology/Immunology: https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them
ReplyDeleteHere's her credentials: https://www.erinbromage.com/post/about-the-author-professor-erin-bromage
The basic formula is Successful Infection = Exposure to Virus x Time.
The article mentions some things which might help you in weighing your personal risk.
Good luck!
Thanks 11:11 and ll:6 I think I just want some back up on what I already know. I feel a bit guilty for not going back but then again, I don't have to and maybe it's time to wrap up the career for now at least. I just renewed my 2 year license so good to go no matter. I always said that if your head tells you one thing and your stomach something else, your head is lying to you! lol. SO....my tummy hurts at the moment on the topic!
ReplyDeleteI am appalled at the amount of Tim Thiel spends on the internet with all of his postings, blogs, etc., all at the expense of his wife and mentally challenged son. Imagine thinking you are so important that you ignore them both many hours a day as he writes the garbage he does. He is no man of God, that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteDennis, at your age you've got no worries. You have outlived the risk of premature death. If you hang on long enough, you could still have an untimely death, but that would be because everyone has lost patience and decided it's overdue.
ReplyDeleteI passed the deadline for early death eight years ago, and what a relief it has been! All those things they told us not to do because they would lead to an early grave? They've lost their power. I can do them now.
In your line of work Dennis, I would play it safe for now. There is still much to be learned from covid19, what it is and how it can be treated.

ReplyDeleteDennis, get a 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Test.
Get your vitamin D levels up to between 80-100 ng/mL. If that means taking 10,000iu of D3 a day for a couple weeks then do it.
Then take 5,000iu a day, every day. Vitamin D is just as important as Zinc to strengthen your immune system!

ReplyDeleteIt's OK to go back to work. Just wear a giant 6 foot tall condom.
