I ALWAYS recommend zinc like Zicam or
cough eeze or equate version zinc tablets for any cold/virus at first inclination (feeling you get) that a cold is coming (scratchy throat drained feeling).
Like hydroxychloroquine it prevents the virus from attaching to your cells to replicate, therefore shortening the span of the cold and greatly lessening the symptoms.
MISSINFORMATION by even physicians on the MSM news networks have been down playing zinc as not a cure for even a regular cold, well thank you captain obvious, it's sometimes not about curing something, but lessening the severity and duration so you don't take up a hospital bed or end up on a ventilator. Seriously, how did these people get to med school being this stupid?
IT doesn't hurt to take zinc before going out to grocery shop and then upon returning after washing up. IT won't be affective if you take it
30-50minutes before or after drinking an acidic drink like citrus sodas or juices, so if it never worked for you then you probably took it to far into a cold or drank something or ate something that destroyed it's affectiveness .
Cold eeze is great for coughs, it severly reduces the coughs and sharp pain in the throat as well as make a week to 2 week cold last only 3days.
AS I POSTED ON THIS FORUM BEFORE
everyone should have zinc and mucinex in their mirror cabinet to shorten their regular colds and severe viruses. And of course fever reducing aspirin. I PREFER sweating out the fever method allowing my body to naturally cool down to combat the external temp.
Knowing what's out there you should be taking plenty of vitamins, eating small meals all day, sleeping more then enough all to maintain the best immune system and health possible in preparation for any infection. The health care workers who die from this, most likely did not have enough sleep and perhaps did not eat well, making them susceptible to having a more severe case of the virus.
