Subject: Fw: SARS Protection through Natural Way - Nutrilite may protect you!

Friends,

Important Information.
Muraly
> SARS Protection
>
> The fact of the mysterious pneumonia has been widely spread in HK drives
me
> to do a literature review on the suspected cause (i.e. coronavirus) of the
> SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). As a biomedical researcher, let
me
> show you my concern and make the following suggestions.
>
> The basic mechanism of viral attack is that the viruses replicate
themselves
> using the host's (in this case is "our") DNA genetic replication system.
By
> doing this, our body couldn't function well due to the massive viral
> replication. Supposedly, the immune cells in our body will fight off the
> infected viruses quickly. However, the viruses are so smart that they
could
> be able to produce some chemical substances to cause our immune cells to
> die. Besides, this coronavirus is a new kind of virus which belongs to a
> mutated strain and our body cannot recognize it.
>
> No antibiotics have been proved to be 100% effective in treating viral
> infection so far. The only effective way to get rid of it is by ourselves.
> It likes a prolonged battle between the viruses and our immune response.
In
> fact, viruses couldn't kill all the immune cells in a healthy individual.
> The stronger the immune function you have, the less the viral injury you
> get. Therefore, the degree of sickness after infection and the rate of
> recovery mainly depends on how strong your immune function is.
>
> You cannot avoid the infection unless you avoid from those infected
> individuals/area. But, you can try your best to boost up your immune
> function by several regimes. Make sure you are "extremely healthy" at
least
> during this critical period. Stronger immune function could keep the viral
> damage minimal even you were so unluckily being infected.
>
> Also, stronger immune function delays the onset of any detrimental effects
> from the viral infection. Scientists are now working on tracking the
> treatment and so make sure you are still surviving until an effective
> treatment occurs. The following suggestions aim to strengthen your immune
> function within a short period of time.
>
> 1) Antioxidant nutraceuticals: Antioxidants are chemicals found in
> foods which exert a great value in strengthening our immune system. Boost
up
> your immune function by taking a cocktail of antioxidant supplements.
> - Vitamin E 1000 IU per day. Alpha-tocopherol is the
> biological active form of vitamin E. There are two forms of it:
d-tocopherol
> and dl-tocopherol. d- is the natural form and dl- is the synthetic form.
> Try to get the d- form because it is absorbed faster in our body.
> - Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 1000 milligram (mg) daily. Instead
> of taking supplement, you can take 2 pieces of citrus fruits (e.g. orange)
> a day to get the vitamin C.
> - Beta-carotene, not more than 10000 IU daily
> - Selenium, 200 microgram daily
> - Zinc, not more than 500 milligram (mg) daily
> - Lipoic acid, 50 mg daily
> - Glutathione, 50 mg daily
> No any adverse effects have been reported from the above suggested
> supplementation dose.
>
> 2) Let green tea to be your daily beverage because it contains
> tremendous amount of antioxidant flavonoid, catechins.
> - Eat more tomatoes, broccoli or fruits and vegetables in red
> and dark green color. They carry a huge amount of antioxidant carotenoids,
> lycopene and carotene.
>
> 3) No intense physical activities during this critical period! It has
> been shown that intense exercise will suppress your immune function
(related
> to the upper respiratory infection) even several days following your
> workout. Instead of intense exercise, light-to-moderate workout helps if
> you have been training regularly.
>
> 4) Make sure you get enough carbohydrate foods (e.g. rice, food
> concentrated in starch... etc) because carbohydrate is the primary food
for
> immune cells. Do some Gatorade or Pocari if needed since they are both
good
> sources of carbohydrate.
>
> 5) Make sure you get enough sleep and don't make yourself so stressful!
> Anxiety, depression, and tired will influence your body's stress hormones
> (e.g. catecholamine and glucocorticoids) and so suppress your immune
status.
>
> 6) Mouth-mask helps despite it is not 100% effective. But it can still
> decrease the chance from infection.
>
> All the above information are supported by peer-reviewed biomedical
> literatures, that means they are credible and reliable! God bless and I
> really hope that none of you will get infected and I will pray for all of
> you in every moment!
>
> Good luck and take extremely care.
