The government has unveiled plans to start reopening the country in phases but failed to address the one thing that can keep the ‘pandemic’ under control as we get back to our normal lives – a healthy immune system. COVID-19 is a new virus which means we don’t have herd immunity to it yet, this makes it much more contagious (although no more dangerous) than the cold and flu. In fact, it’s estimated that 40-70% of adults worldwide will contract the virus over the next two years. It’s also estimated that 80% of infected individuals have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, which is a sign that their immune system is functioning properly. 

Peptides are small proteins that are made up of short chains of amino acids. There are several thousands of them, and they play varying roles in the body. Peptide therapy is an exciting new frontier in medicine that can be used to safely reverse disease, enhance lovemaking, decelerate the aging process, and make getting older a whole lot more pleasant. Certain peptides also play a central role in the immune system, and may even offer us a solution for COVID-19. MIT chemists are currently working on developing a 23-amino acid peptide that can block coronaviruses’ ability to enter human cells.

Many of us have been forced to practice sheltering at home and social distancing to help flatten the curve during the pandemic. But even when we’re hunkered down at home, it’s still important to watch what we eat in an effort to boost our immune systems and remain healthy. In our previous post, Nick Delgado highlighted how eating a whole-food, plant-based, oil-free diet rich in omega fatty acids is essential to staying healthy during this time.

The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide, as of April 7th is 1.4 million and the global death toll is 81,000. We need to stop panicking and keep this in perspective – according to the CDC, the 2019-2020 seasonal influenza caused over 29 million illnesses worldwide and 16,000 deaths in the US alone. And demographics of the most serious and fatal COVID-19 cases from around the world show they all have similar profiles – these patients are primarily over 65 with underlying diseases and immune dysfunctions. While there are some cases of younger adults who appeared healthy but have ended up in the hospital from COVID-19, this is not a random occurrence – it is indicative of an underlying immune system dysfunction.

If we support the immune system and modify our lifestyles to optimize ‘the terrain’, COVID-19 won’t stand a chance. Below I offer 35 questions to assess your level of protection against the coronavirus. Questions you answer no to are weak spots in your health and immunity and things you need to start doing.
