A member asked:
Is there any benefit of stimulating immunity early in the covid illness to prevent worsening/progression and do we know how long the immunostimulating effects of the herbs/foods lasts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yes: There are no studies proving this but it makes sense stimulating immunity early in illness will help.Many Drs. who specialize in nutritional/herbal medicine report good results. I'd take Vit C 1000 mg every 2 hours, Quercitin 500 mg 4x/day, Zinc 30 mg 3x/day,Vit D 10,000 iu/day, Vit A 10,000 iu/day, Andrographis tincture 2 droppers 4x/day,Melatonin 20 mg, Propolis.
