(NaturalHealth365) What’s the term you always hear about exercising caution when consuming the news? “Follow the money.” It’s truly a sad state of affairs when the public has to worry about whether their governments were more involved in this coronavirus pandemic than they’ve been led to believe. But, we may just have to look at the paper trail.
As we reported over two months ago, infectious disease experts and others have long speculated that the new and deadly strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, originated in a Chinese lab that studies dangerous pathogens. Now, in a bombshell turn of events, reports are coming out that the U.S. government has been funding this very lab for many years!
Coronavirus research in China got financial support from the U.S. government
The controversial lab in question is a BSL-4 facility at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. It’s one of the handful of labs in the world with the highest biosafety certification required to do research on extremely dangerous pathogens like: the Ebola virus, small pox, and yes – coronavirus.
The fact that the Wuhan lab conducts experiments with both bats and coronaviruses is a matter of “public record” according to the BBC. Moreover, it turns out that the United States government has been funding this kind of sickening research. No doubt, this video reveals only part of the story.
We, at NaturalHealth365, will continue to monitor this story as the facts get revealed.
In the video, the White House acknowledges that the lab was given “a substantial amount of money” from the National Institutes of Health during the Obama administration – with reports indicating it was for $3.7 million!
If indeed the virus got its true origins at the American-funded Chinese lab, it’s yet to be determined if the virus leaked out accidentally or was maliciously released as a bioweapon.
Mainstream media finally recognizes a disturbing link between the U.S. and China
Mainstream media outlets are reporting more and more about the potential link between the COVID-19 pandemic and a China laboratory. In an April 17 interview on NPR’s Morning Edition with Steve Inskeep, NPR’s national security correspondent Greg Myre responded to questions about whether he believed the virus that causes COVID-19 did in fact come from Wuhan’s BSL-4 facility.
While Myre cautions that there’s still “lots to learn” about the potential link, he goes on to acknowledge that the United States intelligence government is actively investigating the possibility and that, of course, “Wuhan Institute of Virology just a handful of miles away from where the wet market was.”
“The intelligence community hasn’t trusted the Chinese explanations, and it sees their ongoing behavior as suspicious,” Myre continues. “But they’re not prepared to make a final assessment.”
Also in the interview was a reference to a jaw-dropping statement from U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said last week that Beijing “needs to come clean” about the government’s knowledge about where the virus came from and how it spread.
Conversely, a study published in March in Nature Medicine found no genetic evidence that the virus was created in a lab, and as recently as April 18th, officials from the Chinese lab itself, including vice director Yuan Zhiming, have vehemently denied the claim.
We’ll be watching this news story very closely over the coming days, weeks, and months.

naturalhealth365--2020-04-21--Dr. Anthony Fauci wants mandatory coronavirus vaccines to be forced on all Americans

( NaturalHealth365 ) Who is Anthony Fauci , MD ?
The COVID-19 pandemic has made this physician and immunologist a household name .
As the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) since 1984 , Dr. Fauci has been touted as the country ’ s top infectious diseases expert and is frequently relied on to give his professional opinions regarding isues related to the current novel coronavirus outbreak – including , but not limited to , coronavirus immunizations .
And as the vaccine research race continues – alongside controversial statements from Bill Gates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” should be required for return-to-work and travel – many will argue that by reading between the lines , the White House ’ s medical adviser is also laying the groundwork for a mandatory medical procedure .
No more “ life as we know it : ” Did Anthony Fauci , MD – America ’ s leading infectious disease expert – just give the green light for mandatory medical procedures ?
At a recent White House press briefing , Dr. Fauci asserted that unless there is a big pharma shot for SARS-CoV-2 ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the respiratory disease could simply return year after year , and that even if everyone is immunized things may never get back to pre-pandemic business-as-usual .
“ ” If ‘ back to normal ’ means acting like there never was a coronavirus problem , ” Dr. Fauci said from the White House on April 6 , “ I don ’ t think that ’ s going to happen until we do have a situation where you can completely protect the population ” ( emphasis ours ) .
What “ situation ” would that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , many fear , is that public health officials will eventually claim a ( mandatory ) immunization is necessary to control the virus and get the economy back on track , and that it will have to be administered universally – for example , included on the required list of shots for schools and employers .

” Many argue that such speed is necessary to quell the spread of this infectious virus .
But others are concerned that the blistering pace only increases the risk of pushing a vaccine onto the population that hasn ’ t been properly tested nor confirmed to actually work .
A reasonable worry , given that prior research on the seasonal flu vaccine , including a 2018 study from Clinical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s effectiveness declines within just a few weeks after being administered .
And yet , we ’ re supposed to believe that a vaccine developed “ as rapidly as possible ” is supposed to offer superior “ protection ” for the entire public ?
Do the leading “ health experts ” really understand how to protect the public from infectious diseases ?
As a team of professors and stem cell researchers from Harvard Business Review noted in an April 1 HBR opinion piece , “ any proposal to return to work before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieved – either by prior infection or immunization – has risks that could lead to a second wave of infection.

Jerome Adams, the Surgeon General of the United States has decided to work with “real numbers” – as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In fact, the White House now seems fully committed to investigating the WHO, its false claims and the coverup about the origins of COVID-19 – especially as it relates to China.
In his own investigation, Dr. Buttar discovered how researchers – back in 2015 – were working on genetically modifying a naturally occurring version of the coronavirus into a completely unnatural version of itself. This type of work is called, “gain of function” research.
And, its purpose was to take an already existing virus – which could potentially harm human health and make it even more harmful. Why would they do this?!
Anyway, after many scientists said ‘there’s no good reason to do this kind of research,’ the U.S. government put a stop to these efforts. But, there’s evidence to suggest that 3.7 million dollars was transferred to a lab in China to continue the work!
Dr. Buttar goes on to explain how Dr. Fauci “broke the law” by continuing to support this research – even though the U.S. government basically said, ‘Stop!’
In 2017, how did Dr. Fauci know that a worldwide pandemic was coming?
In 2017 at Georgetown University, Dr. Fauci is on record – warning the President of the United States – talking about the ‘certainty’ of a worldwide pandemic during his presidency. How did he know this?
The bottom line: it seems very clear that high ranking government health officials within the United States are hiding the truth from the American public. How much did Dr. Fauci know and when?

naturalhealth365--2020-04-22--Antiviral NEWS: Researchers discover how quercetin increases the positive effects of zinc

( NaturalHealth365 ) As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to claim thousands of lives across the globe , the search is on for a safe , effective treatment .
And , while some tout a combination of antimalarial drugs and antibiotics as a possible “ game-changer , ” this unproven protocol can cause serious heart problems .
Meanwhile , some researchers are exploring the antiviral qualities of a pair of natural nutrients : quercetin ( a plant pigment found in fruits and vegetables ) and zinc .
Recent research highlights quercetin ’ s ability to unleash zinc ’ s antiviral effects @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hand in glove ” against disease .
And , while the zinc/quercetin combination isn ’ t accepted as a “ stand-alone ” treatment against COVID-19 , both of these non-toxic compounds show promise in early cell studies .
Quercetin has already made a name for itself as a safe , effective and low-cost therapy for inflammatory conditions , asthma and allergies .
Even more impressively , cell and animal studies support quercetin ’ s ability to inhibit both the A and B types of influenza – including the H1N1 and H3N2 viruses – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In fact , some forward-thinking physicians in the U.S. already credit quercetin with being both safer and more effective than Tamiflu , the “ gold standard ” of medical remedies for influenza .
Internationally renowned researcher Dr. Michael Chrétien is currently conducting a clinical trial on quercetin ’ s effects against COVID-19 .
The study , conducted in Wuhan , is monitored by Dr. Chrétien and his team from a command center in Montreal .
Although Dr. Chrétien is careful to warn against “ false hope , ” he has asserted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including Ebola – in laboratory studies .
If quercetin is truly able to stop infected cells from reproducing and spreading throughout the body , this means it may be able to slow the development of COVID-19 – and possibly even stop it in its tracks .
And , if confirmed through clinical studies , this would be very big news indeed !
Zinc has shown promise against a serious respiratory disease related to COVID-19 Zinc , an essential trace mineral , is required for the activity of over 100 different enzymes in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helps with protein synthesis , wound healing , DNA synthesis and cell division – while supporting normal growth and development during pregnancy , childhood and adolescence .
In addition , zinc has strong antiviral and immune system-boosting effects .
In a study conducted by an international team of university-based researchers and published in PLoS Pathogens , the team found that intracellular zinc ( along with a substance that facilitated its entry into cells ) effectively impaired the replication of SARS virus .
This is highly significant , as COVID-19 is closely related to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alternately known as SARS-CoV-2 .
In addition , researchers have learned that the virus-fighting activity of zinc can be amplified even more with quercetin .
In a study published in 2014 in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry , the team found that quercetin and ECGC – another beneficial antioxidant flavonoid found in green tea – rapidly increased zinc levels in mouse liver cancer cells .
The quercetin accomplished this by transporting positively-charged zinc ions through the plasma membranes of cells – leading researchers to conclude that quercetin is a zinc ionophore .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ zinc into cells – where it can begin its antiviral work .
Why does the media refuse to properly report on a successful COVID-19 therapy ?
New York physician Vladimir Zelenko , MD has reported “ success ” treating hundreds of COVID-19 patients with a combination of hydroxychloroquine ( an antimalarial drug ) and azithromycin ( an antibiotic ) .
But , there ’ s one key element ignored by the mainstream media .
Dr. Zelenko reports that his patients made full recoveries – experiencing no intubations , no hospitalizations and no mortalities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and debated on the national stage , one fact is mentioned rarely – if ever – by the mainstream media … Just like quercetin , hydroxychloroquine carries zinc into infected cells – allowing the mineral to quickly “ roll up its sleeves ” and get to work disrupting viral replication .
In other words , hydroxychloroquine seems to work like a zinc ionophore – leading some natural health experts to speculate that quercetin could accomplish the same function , thereby serving as a natural ( non-toxic ) alternative .
Boost antiviral defenses with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quercetin is found in many fruits and vegetables , it exists in particularly good supply in onions , apple peels , citrus fruits and pumpkin seeds .
Quercetin is also available in supplementary form , with integrative doctors typically advising amounts of 500 mg – twice a day .
Naturally , we suggest you first check with your own doctor before supplementing .
When it comes to zinc intake , the Institutes of Medicine advises a recommended dietary amount of 11 mg a day for men and 8 for women .
Oysters are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followed by beef , poultry and Alaskan king crab .
For those looking to avoid animal products , eating chickpeas , pumpkin seeds and kidney beans can help you reach a daily quota of zinc .
If you choose to supplement , a liposomal form of zinc – in which the zinc is encapsulated by submicroscopic fatty acid bubbles – is considered the most bioavailable form .
When it comes to liposomes , the smaller , the better .
Natural health experts advise choosing a formulation with liposomes between 50 and 120 nanometers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excessive amounts of zinc an be toxic – so be smart and talk to your doctor about what ’ s best for you .
Having said that , as research into the antiviral effects of quercetin and zinc accumulates , we ’ ll probably see both of these nutrients take their place at the forefront of natural antiviral therapies .

naturalhealth365--2020-04-23--Immunity hacks: How to make your body more resilient to viruses

( NaturalHealth365 ) Although none of us can completely avoid environmental toxins , we can greatly influence how many toxins get inside our homes and body by making simple changes to our lifestyle .
This is what I mean by “ hacking ” the immune system .
We simply stop the practice of putting toxins in ( and on ) the body and focus our attention on detoxification – the idea of removing toxins already inside our body , home and workplace .
Simply put , this is our best defense against COVID-19 or any other infection for that matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the information shared in this article will never be featured within mainstream media outlets .
If you focus on doing a much-needed chemical detox of your home , diet , and personal care routine – which means eliminating synthetic perfumes , scented body washes or anything with an artificial fragrance – you ’ ll avoid unnecessary stress of the immune system .
Then , your immune system will have sufficient energy to protect you from viruses or other life-threatening substances .
How can you beat COVID-19 without a strong immune system ?
Every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , such as aspartame or fumes from oven cleaner , your body goes into high alert .
I call this “ Danger , Will Robinson !
” mode .
Then it mobilizes all your T cells and NK fighter cells and sends them out to fight the enemy .
If we ’ ve got toxins coming in all day , you can see our armies of immune cells will be too busy or exhausted to fight yet another battle – like that of COVID-19 , as an example .
So , try these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can help you to stop the constant demand on your immune system the typical American lifestyle places upon it , so your body can protect you from dis-ease .
Now ’ s the time to think about how you can make your home a haven in every way possible .
What you want is a home free from the kind of pollutants outside that place so many demands on our immune systems .
So , make your home a place with as few toxins coming in as possible by making sure , first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as clean as you can get them .
In terms of your water supply , you must use high quality water purification system .
For many years , we – at NaturalHealth365 – have suggested the use of a Berkey ( which does not rely on electricity ) .
but , Aquatru is another good choice .
Plus , as a great source of spring water , Jonathan Landsman has often referred to his personal favorite , Tourmaline Spring .
Remember , this is your first line of defense against lead and other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pipes .
You ’ ll also want to filter your shower water as well .
Berkey does offer that … but , supplies are limited .
Just for your information : According to recent research , shower steam is one of the most toxic vapors that most of us breathe in on a regular basis , and it can do major respiratory damage and harm to the body at a cellular level .
Vitamin C or charcoal filters ( most run under $ 5 apiece ) for your shower heads will ensure that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And last , but certainly not least , get a HEPA air filtration system for your home .
HEPA filters will pull allergens out of the air like pollen , pet dander , smoke , dust mites , and mold spores .
When we stop exhausting our immune systems , they can do a better job of protecting us from illness and disease .
It ’ s that simple .
2 .
Don ’ t overlook the value of kindness and affection to reduce stress Talk to any qualified healthcare provider and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stress greatly increases your risk of disease.
’ Researchers have recently been studying a hormone called oxytocin .
It turns out that when you do something nice for someone , give or receive a sincere hug full of love , or play with puppies or whatever your snuggly animal of choice is , you release a chemical called oxytocin .
Oxytocin floods the body with feel-good hormones .
What scientists have found is that oxytocin has very protective effects on the cardiovascular system , especially the heart , during times of stress .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to heal and regenerate from stress-induced damage .
So , even though we ’ re practicing social distancing , it never hurts to call the ones we care about and tell them they are special-that they really mean something to us !
3 .
Eliminate simple ( processed ) sugars from your life and increase your intake of colorful ( organic ) produce Studies have proven that sugar consumption actually suppresses the immune system .
As Ullah et .
al .
notes , “ Sugar has direct and severe effects on immune system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blood cells by 40 % .
Instead of sweets , reach for more rainbow-hued fruits and veggies .
The bright color in fruits and vegetables comes from phytonutrients , these antioxidant-rich compounds help us combat disease , infection , viruses , and bacterial invaders !
Ultimately , we can never ( completely ) eliminate all the threats within our environment .
No doubt , we ’ ll always be dealing with issues like pollution , pesticides and “ novel ” viruses like , COVID-19 .
But , the more important thing to focus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can do to make ourselves stronger , healthier and happier ?
Avoiding chronic stress is just as important to our immune system as the food we eat or the supplements that we take .
Eat well , stay physically active , well hydrated and keep a positive attitude – no matter what the world is like outside .

(NaturalHealth365) Although none of us can completely avoid environmental toxins, we can greatly influence how many toxins get inside our homes and body by making simple changes to our lifestyle. This is what I mean by “hacking” the immune system. We simply stop the practice of putting toxins in (and on) the body and focus our attention on detoxification – the idea of removing toxins already inside our body, home and workplace.

Then it mobilizes all your T cells and NK fighter cells and sends them out to fight the enemy. If we’ve got toxins coming in all day, you can see our armies of immune cells will be too busy or exhausted to fight yet another battle – like that of COVID-19, as an example.
So, try these three science-backed “immunity hacks” that can help you to stop the constant demand on your immune system the typical American lifestyle places upon it, so your body can protect you from dis-ease.
1. Avoid toxic triggers inside your home
Now’s the time to think about how you can make your home a haven in every way possible. What you want is a home free from the kind of pollutants outside that place so many demands on our immune systems. So, make your home a place with as few toxins coming in as possible by making sure, first and foremost your air and water are as clean as you can get them.
In terms of your water supply, you must use high quality water purification system. For many years, we – at NaturalHealth365 – have suggested the use of a Berkey (which does not rely on electricity). but, Aquatru is another good choice. Plus, as a great source of spring water, Jonathan Landsman has often referred to his personal favorite, Tourmaline Spring.
Remember, this is your first line of defense against lead and other heavy metals from underground, old water pipes. You’ll also want to filter your shower water as well. Berkey does offer that … but, supplies are limited.
Just for your information: According to recent research, shower steam is one of the most toxic vapors that most of us breathe in on a regular basis, and it can do major respiratory damage and harm to the body at a cellular level. Vitamin C or charcoal filters (most run under $5 apiece) for your shower heads will ensure that your shower steam is pure and healthy.
And last, but certainly not least, get a HEPA air filtration system for your home. HEPA filters will pull allergens out of the air like pollen, pet dander, smoke, dust mites, and mold spores. When we stop exhausting our immune systems, they can do a better job of protecting us from illness and disease. It’s that simple.
2. Don’t overlook the value of kindness and affection to reduce stress
Talk to any qualified healthcare provider and they will tell you: ‘chronic stress greatly increases your risk of disease.’
Researchers have recently been studying a hormone called oxytocin. It turns out that when you do something nice for someone, give or receive a sincere hug full of love, or play with puppies or whatever your snuggly animal of choice is, you release a chemical called oxytocin.
Oxytocin floods the body with feel-good hormones. What scientists have found is that oxytocin has very protective effects on the cardiovascular system, especially the heart, during times of stress.
In addition, oxytocin helps the heart to heal and regenerate from stress-induced damage. So, even though we’re practicing social distancing, it never hurts to call the ones we care about and tell them they are special-that they really mean something to us!
3. Eliminate simple (processed) sugars from your life and increase your intake of colorful (organic) produce
Studies have proven that sugar consumption actually suppresses the immune system.
As Ullah et. al. notes, “Sugar has direct and severe effects on immune system” reducing the reactivity of your white blood cells by 40%. Instead of sweets, reach for more rainbow-hued fruits and veggies.
The bright color in fruits and vegetables comes from phytonutrients, these antioxidant-rich compounds help us combat disease, infection, viruses, and bacterial invaders!
Ultimately, we can never (completely) eliminate all the threats within our environment. No doubt, we’ll always be dealing with issues like pollution, pesticides and “novel” viruses like, COVID-19. But, the more important thing to focus on will always be: what we can do to make ourselves stronger, healthier and happier?
Avoiding chronic stress is just as important to our immune system as the food we eat or the supplements that we take. Eat well, stay physically active, well hydrated and keep a positive attitude – no matter what the world is like outside.

naturalhealth365--2020-04-24--WARNING: Alcohol inhibits absorption of vital nutrients, including zinc

( NaturalHealth365 ) As the nation enters its second month of social distancing , and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take a deadly toll , it is not surprising that many are attempting to relieve stress by drinking alcohol .
In fact , since the coronavirus pandemic began , online alcohol sales are way up !
Unfortunately , this may not be the wisest course of action for your health .
While very moderate drinking ( two drinks a day for men and one a day for women ) may offer some slight cardiovascular benefits , drinking to excess can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liver disease , heart disease , high blood pressure , obesity and stroke .
And , just for the record , we – at NaturalHealth365 – think that any alcohol consumption ( on a daily basis ) is way too much !
And , there ’ s yet another reason to “ ix-nay ” alcohol .
Research demonstrates that alcohol consumption can interfere with the absorption of the essential mineral zinc – which has shown the ability in cell studies to inhibit the replication of the coronavirus .
And , while zinc is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” against COVID-19 , maintaining adequate levels of this disease-fighting nutrient is still a smart move .
Zinc , which plays an indispensable role in growth and development , is essential for the synthesis of DNA , normal cell division and proper wound healing .
And , this versatile micronutrient is particularly important for immune system function – helping to develop and activate infection-fighting T-cells .
In fact , so necessary is zinc to immune health that low status has been linked in studies to increased susceptibility to pneumonia and other respiratory infections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have shown that zinc has antioxidant , antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties – and can even reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms .
Scientists say it accomplishes this by directly inhibiting replication in the mucosa of the rhinovirus ( one of the pathogens responsible for the common cold ) .
For example , in a cell study published in PLOS Pathogens , zinc inhibited the replication of the SARS coronavirus – a close cousin to COVID-19 .
Not only is alcohol completely lacking in nutritional value of its own , but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ zinc among them – obtained through food .
In addition to interfering with zinc absorption , alcohol consumption diminishes zinc levels by hastening and increasing excretion in the urine .
Keep in mind , excessive drinking can also lead to poor nutrition and low intake of zinc-rich foods , exacerbating zinc shortfalls even further .
And , zinc is not the only micronutrient depleted by drinking .
Alcohol can also interfere with the absorption of B-complex vitamins , including vitamin B1 , or thiamin – which helps convert nutrients into energy – vitamin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essential for DNA production and repair ; vitamin B9 , or folate , which is needed for the formation of red blood cells ; and vitamin B12 , or methylcobalamin , which is vital for neurological function .
Severe deficiencies in B-complex vitamins from chronic alcohol abuse can cause an array of symptoms , ranging from anemia and peripheral neuropathy to hallucinations , dementia , seizures and even psychosis .
In addition , alcohol impairs the absorption of vitamin C , while speeding its depletion in the body by way of urination .

Finally , alcohol may make it difficult for the liver to convert inactive forms of vitamin D into the active form , causing deficiencies which in turn can lead to low levels of calcium and osteoporosis .

Unfortunately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not uncommon , particularly among older adults .
In fact , a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that roughly a quarter of American adults over 60 had inadequate zinc intakes .
Because animal products are a major source of dietary zinc , vegetarians and vegans are also at risk for deficiencies , with some experts estimating that these individuals might need as much as 50 percent more zinc to reach recommended daily amounts .
Alcohol ’ s toll on zinc levels is reflected by the National Institutes of Health ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that between 30 and 50 percent of alcoholics have low zinc status .
Medications can also have adverse effects on zinc levels .
Certain common antibiotics , including tetracycline , can interfere with zinc absorption – while diuretics can increase the excretion of zinc by up to 60 percent .
In addition , some minerals – such as copper , iron and calcium – can compete with zinc for absorption .
Signs of zinc deficiency include loss of appetite , slow wound healing , increased susceptibility to infections , slowed growth in children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Abnormalities in sense of taste or smell , lethargy and hair loss can also signal deficiency .
You can pump up your intake of zinc with oysters , the richest dietary source of zinc on the planet .
Grass-fed beef , Alaskan king crab and free-range chicken also offer hefty amounts .

And, while zinc is probably not a stand-alone “silver bullet” against COVID-19, maintaining adequate levels of this disease-fighting nutrient is still a smart move.
Antiviral zinc is essential for effective immune defense
Zinc, which plays an indispensable role in growth and development, is essential for the synthesis of DNA, normal cell division and proper wound healing. And, this versatile micronutrient is particularly important for immune system function – helping to develop and activate infection-fighting T-cells.
In fact, so necessary is zinc to immune health that low status has been linked in studies to increased susceptibility to pneumonia and other respiratory infections, particularly in the elderly.
Studies have shown that zinc has antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties – and can even reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms. Scientists say it accomplishes this by directly inhibiting replication in the mucosa of the rhinovirus (one of the pathogens responsible for the common cold).
For example, in a cell study published in PLOS Pathogens, zinc inhibited the replication of the SARS coronavirus – a close cousin to COVID-19.
Health ALERT: Alcohol robs the body of valuable micronutrients
Not only is alcohol completely lacking in nutritional value of its own, but it interferes with the absorption of micronutrients – zinc among them – obtained through food. In addition to interfering with zinc absorption, alcohol consumption diminishes zinc levels by hastening and increasing excretion in the urine.
Keep in mind, excessive drinking can also lead to poor nutrition and low intake of zinc-rich foods, exacerbating zinc shortfalls even further. And, zinc is not the only micronutrient depleted by drinking.
Alcohol can also interfere with the absorption of B-complex vitamins, including vitamin B1, or thiamin – which helps convert nutrients into energy – vitamin B3, or niacin, which is essential for DNA production and repair; vitamin B9, or folate, which is needed for the formation of red blood cells; and vitamin B12, or methylcobalamin, which is vital for neurological function.
Severe deficiencies in B-complex vitamins from chronic alcohol abuse can cause an array of symptoms, ranging from anemia and peripheral neuropathy to hallucinations, dementia, seizures and even psychosis.
In addition, alcohol impairs the absorption of vitamin C, while speeding its depletion in the body by way of urination. Low vitamin C status can lead to poor wound healing, a heightened susceptibility to infections plus many other (unwanted) health issues.
Finally, alcohol may make it difficult for the liver to convert inactive forms of vitamin D into the active form, causing deficiencies which in turn can lead to low levels of calcium and osteoporosis.
Warning: The “golden years” can bring about zinc deficiencies
The Office of Dietary Supplements advises a recommended daily allowance of 11 mg of zinc a day for men and 8 mg for women. Unfortunately, low zinc intake and insufficient levels are not uncommon, particularly among older adults.
In fact, a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that roughly a quarter of American adults over 60 had inadequate zinc intakes.
Because animal products are a major source of dietary zinc, vegetarians and vegans are also at risk for deficiencies, with some experts estimating that these individuals might need as much as 50 percent more zinc to reach recommended daily amounts.
Alcohol’s toll on zinc levels is reflected by the National Institutes of Health’s estimate, with the agency reporting that between 30 and 50 percent of alcoholics have low zinc status.
Medications can also have adverse effects on zinc levels. Certain common antibiotics, including tetracycline, can interfere with zinc absorption – while diuretics can increase the excretion of zinc by up to 60 percent. In addition, some minerals – such as copper, iron and calcium – can compete with zinc for absorption.
Signs of zinc deficiency include loss of appetite, slow wound healing, increased susceptibility to infections, slowed growth in children, impotence in men and depression. Abnormalities in sense of taste or smell, lethargy and hair loss can also signal deficiency.
Increase zinc intake and absorption with proper nutrition
You can pump up your intake of zinc with oysters, the richest dietary source of zinc on the planet. Grass-fed beef, Alaskan king crab and free-range chicken also offer hefty amounts. Plant foods – such as pumpkin seeds, cashews and chickpeas – are lower in zinc, but can still contribute to your overall intake.
However, these foods also contain phytates, natural plant compounds found in legumes, seeds, nuts and grains. Because phytates can bind zinc and interfere with its absorption, many natural health experts advise decreasing phytate level by soaking seeds, beans and grains before cooking.
Supplementary zinc is available in the form of lozenges, tablets, capsules and liposomal form. Naturally, consult your integrative physician before making any changes to your diet or supplement routine.

Now, Big Pharma, the World Health Organization (WHO), and others are chomping at the bit to fund, create, push, and profit off vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes this pandemic disease.
But there’s one question related to public health officials’ near-obsession with mass vaccination that not many people have thought to ask: does the common flu vaccine increase the risk of falling ill with COVID-19?
NEW research: Flu shot increases your susceptibility to coronaviruses and other pathogens
The flu season in America is waning, if not officially over (the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention slates the annual flu season as fall and winter, but sometimes extending into May). Unfortunately, the global COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect … and it seems that the fact we’ve long been told to get vaccinated against the seaonal flu adds fuel to this crisis, as you’ll soon see – below.
In a stunning United States Department of Defense (DOD) study just published in January of this year, a researcher confirmed that “receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference.” This finding, supported by additional research dating back to the 2003 SARS epidemic and earlier, “goes against” commonplace assumptions that vaccines don’t change the risk of infection from other respiratory diseases.

High COVID-19 death toll in Italy – just a matter of an elderly population and early lax social distancing? Experts suspect new flu vaccine could be a driving factor
Many health experts are now speculating a jaw-dropping possibility:
One of the reasons why the infection and mortality rate of COVID-19 in Italy was so high (other than the fact that Italy has one of the largest elderly populations in the world) is that in the fall of 2019, mere months before COVID-19 hit, the Italian healthcare system introduced a brand new type of influenza vaccine.
The vaccine, called VIQCC, is produced from animal cells (unlike earlier vaccines derived from eggs) and stimulates a larger response from the immune system. Akin to a “super” vaccine, the vaccination contains as many as four types of viruses. Such an assault on the immune system could very well have induced the “viral intereference” introduced earlier, causing thousands of unsuspecting Italians to be even harder hit by the novel strain of coronavirus.
Elderly people – as well as the healthcare workers who care for this at-risk population – are among the chief targets of flu vaccination campaigns. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Italian Ministry of Health offers the flu vaccine for free to people over 65.
As big business executives, researchers, global health organizations, and pharmaceutical figureheads from around the world furiously race to create a vaccination against the COVID-19, we urge all consumers to remain cautious and vigilant about any promises of “cures” or “protection.” Given the inconclusive nature of vaccines in general – and especially in light of recent revelations – we remain suspicious and very concerned about public health and safety.

naturalhealth365--2020-04-27--Bill Gates funds invisible “tattoo ID” to track people

( NaturalHealth365 ) Should billionaire Bill Gates have a say in what goes into your body , or your children ’ s bodies ?
It certainly seems like that ’ s been his end goal ever since he started going on record about wanting to invent new vaccines as part of his push for population control .
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic , many skeptical consumers are now wondering if the SARS-CoV-2 virus is actually a “ blessing ” for Bill Gates and his cronies .
There ’ s even a clear paper trail connecting Gates to 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to tattoo proof of vaccines onto children ’ s skin … and no – this is not science fiction .
Suspicion grows : Does Bill Gates , long hopeful that vaccines will help curb population growth , want global citizens to “ prove ” they get the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine with invisible tattoo ?
The coronavirus scare is the perfect vehicle for Gates to complete his depraved plan of vaccinating everyone on the planet .
We already have multiple examples of the billionaire publicly stating that he wants vaccines , along with family planning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population growth and reduce the global population by 10 to 15 percent over the coming decades .
( Here ’ s video proof , in his own words . )

(NaturalHealth365) Should billionaire Bill Gates have a say in what goes into your body, or your children’s bodies? It certainly seems like that’s been his end goal ever since he started going on record about wanting to invent new vaccines as part of his push for population control.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many skeptical consumers are now wondering if the SARS-CoV-2 virus is actually a “blessing” for Bill Gates and his cronies. There’s even a clear paper trail connecting Gates to 2019 research that literally figured out a way to tattoo proof of vaccines onto children’s skin … and no – this is not science fiction.
Suspicion grows: Does Bill Gates, long hopeful that vaccines will help curb population growth, want global citizens to “prove” they get the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine with invisible tattoo?
The coronavirus scare is the perfect vehicle for Gates to complete his depraved plan of vaccinating everyone on the planet.
We already have multiple examples of the billionaire publicly stating that he wants vaccines, along with family planning policies and other interventions, to slow population growth and reduce the global population by 10 to 15 percent over the coming decades. (Here’s video proof, in his own words.)
And while fact checker websites like Snopes insist that Gates is pouring billions of dollars into vaccines as a way to “improve” people’s lives rather than act as an “agent of death,” many are deeply suspicious about the man’s true intentions … and deeply concerned about what kind of Big Brother dystopia his vision is marching us toward, especially now that he has the widespread fear of COVID-19 to take advantage of.
Consider this:
In 2019, a study was conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The researchers “codelivered” near-infrared microparticle technology along with a vaccine into the skin of test animals. The near-infrared microparticles are invisible to the naked eye but can be seen with “modified smartphones.” The researchers proudly assert this invisible vaccine tattoo can be used to create an “on-person vaccination record.”
The study, titled “Biocompatible near-infrared quantum dots delivered to the skin by microneedle patches record vaccination” and published in Science Translational Medicine, was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Can you imagine? Having to have your arm “scanned” by someone wielding a handheld device to prove you’ve had a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine just so you can go back to work, get on a plane, or enter a building?
It’s absolute insanity – and it’s not even the only invasion of privacy officials are drooling over.
Immunity passports? Try vaccine passports – citizens call foul as concerns grow about a conspiratorial bait and switch
Throughout the insanity over the past few months, some experts have floated the idea of so-called “immunity passports” as a way to safely re-open countries and get the economy going again. Also called “risk-free certificates” according to the World Health Organization (WHO), these immunity passports have serious ethical concerns.
Just think about what that world would be like: a world where you are forced to carry papers (let alone have an invisible tattoo!) which allegedly “prove” you’ve recovered from COVID-19 and now have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 and are therefore “safe” to return to society.
Fortunately, even the WHO seems skeptical – at least for now. From their website: “Some governments have suggested that the detection of antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could serve as the basis for an ‘immunity passport’ or ‘risk-free certificate’ that would enable individuals to travel or to return to work assuming that they are protected against re-infection. There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection.”
They go on to add, “As of 24 April 2020, no study has evaluated whether the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 confers immunity to subsequent infection by this virus in humans. Laboratory tests that detect antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in people… need further validation to determine their accuracy and reliability.”
Of course, this brings up another major question:
By “immunity passport,” do these government agencies actually mean “vaccine certificates?” In other words, is the real goal to normalize and implement forced mass vaccination, especially given the apparent unknown viability of antibody testing?
This gross violation of bodily autonomy and personal rights seems to be having its groundwork laid by officials. On April 15 2020, in an interview with CBS News, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted that a COVID-19 vaccine is the current “end game” and is the preferred way to achieve a so-called “herd immunity” (when a population is allegedly protected from a disease because a majority of people are immune to it).
The alternative to creating herd immunity “artificially” as Dr. Fauci says, would be the result of a large percentage of the population contracting SARS-CoV-2 and then recovering from it. Hence the advent of and WHO-supported studies called “serosurveys” which aim to detect antibodies to the novel coronavirus in people … and as we’ve just learned, there are lots of unknowns surrounding this kind of data.
So, only time will tell if these mass “investigations” into our blood will be worthwhile, or even continue.

naturalhealth365--2020-04-27--Food WARNING: Monsanto predicted dicamba would damage U.S. farms

( NaturalHealth365 ) Cover-ups , conspiracies , and clandestine efforts to stymie tests from third-party labs : it ’ s just another day in the life of Monsanto , the agrochemical company notorious for its dangerous arsenal of glyphosate-based weedkillers and herbicides .

For example, arugula, dandelion and mustard greens are all quite bitter but they are also some of the most nutritious greens you can eat. In addition, echinacea may have a super-bitter taste, but it certainly packs a strong punch when you want to knock out a cold that’s coming on.
See how bitter herbs can be a great friend to our health
Plants use phytonutrient color compounds like anthocyanins, the phytochemical in blueberries that makes them blue (and which happens to spark new brain cell growth), and these colors help them to avoid detection in flower fields and, ultimately, to remain alive. Likewise, this bitter taste helps to wards off animals that may come by to eat them.
Ultimately, everything wants to naturally say alive. This is why bitter leaves often surround and cloak a sweet berry plant or fragile flower. All these evolved compounds are profoundly healthy – due to their antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
