We remain in a battle against the coronavirus COVID-19, and now we find a case reported here in Vernon County. What can one do to keep from becoming a victim of this virus and others? The usual precautions are still helpful. Stay away from other people as much as possible and wash hands often.

BTW, the pollen has fallen, so don’t confuse nasal congestion from allergy with a coronavirus infection! (you did notice that yellow dust on your car…)

The key to good health is a strong immune system. Eat good food, drink lots of water, and get enough sleep. And take supplements. Most people are deficient in vitamin D, especially following winter when we don’t get much sun exposure. So take vitamin D-3 along with vitamin K which helps in its absorption. Vitamin C is helpful, as are the omega-3 sources, such as fish or krill oil.

It is quite helpful to take zinc, at 50-100 mg per day. It’s also good to take vitamin B-12, but forget the pills and capsules, as it is poorly absorbed from the stomach. Use a sublingual form that dissolves under the tongue, and be sure it is methylcobalamin, not the cyano form, which decomposes into formaldehyde and cyanide!

We are learning more almost daily about treatments for COVID-19, and Dr. Vladimir Zelenko of New York has treated over 900 patients with a 99.9% success rate. He treats early (those who test positive) with the following: hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily for 5 days, azithromycin 500 mg daily for 5 days, and zinc 220 mg per day for 5 days. Note that this dose of zinc would be harmful with continued use. For daily use, 50-100 mg is sufficient. The active agent here is actually the zinc, which once in the cell inhibits replication of the virus. The hydroxychloroquine “opens the zinc channel” and helps get the zinc into the cell to do its job.

Others have pointed out that the active ingredient in hydroxychloroquine is quinine, which can be found in “tonic water (as in Schweppe’s).

There is also mention online of ivermectin, an anti-worm medication used in cattle and such, to fight COVID-19. I don’t know of any studies using it yet. (The only patient I ever used it on had picked up a parasite in Venezuela.)

My personal preference for attacking the virus is colloidal silver, actually ionic silver solution. This is available from Debbi at Nature’s Station on the north side of the square in Nevada, and I provide it as well.

According to Herbert Slavin, M.D. of the Institute of Advanced Medicine in Lauderhill, Florida, “…a study at the University of Arizona recently showed ionic silver to be effective against the coronavirus that researchers use as the surrogate for SARS.”

The Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (June 2003) contained an article stating that even with the SARS coronavirus, “swift reduction of viral loads” could be achieved using electrically generated colloidal silver. (ionic silver)

You may have noted that the government did not want people using hydroxychloroquine, especially after President Trump recommended it, and they really don’t want you to know about silver! [it can’t be patented, and it makes a multitude of “cold remedies” totally unnecessary, costing the drug companies billions of dollars]

My previous articles on this website describe how I use colloidal silver. I now have some 2 oz nasal spray bottles, the shipments of which have been interrupted by the pandemic. So, I can once again offer you over $200 worth of 16-18 ppm (parts per million) ionic silver solution for $40. That includes a 32 oz bottle of the solution along with the filled 2 oz spray bottle, a sheet of label information, and details on how to use it.

If you would like to have the above collection of colloidal silver materials, you can email me at r.r.jones@sbcglobal.net or you can phone me at (417) 667-2457. If no answer, leave a message and I will get back to you soon. I think we could consider this “essential” during this time of restricted movements. If I am out of the small bottles, you can still pick up a 32 oz one and have the 2 oz when it’s available.

May we all remain in good health!
