I could share with you the benefits of increasing zinc consumption to boost your immunity while ensuring you don’t consume too many phytate containing grains that may prevent it’s absorption, or to increase your exposure to sunlight in measured safe doses or take vitamin D supplements as small daily doses or weekly higher doses depending on your genetic profile. I could talk to you about what it is like to get tested for COVID-19 or share with you emerging research (very much in it’s infancy) on experiences for treating COVID-19.
But in all honesty…
I question the use of the word and concept - “eliminate”. The only virus I know that mankind has “eliminated” - if we ignore the research labs in America and Russia that still store stocks of this virus - is smallpox…
I was sorting through some old notes and papers I have collected over the years and came across this gem. I have no idea where it came from or who wrote them down but they are definitely for sharing….
If it feels wrong, don’t do it…

Normally he’s not back from work until much later this is a real treat… I observe as someone start’s a game of tag. Unexpectedly I am tagged from behind… normally I do not play.. I feel fear
My girls convinced me to buy them some cereal (one of the better quality and rather expensive sorts) when we were out food shopping together one day. I relented and let them have it. My rule is 80:20. Life is for living and if you’re doing the best thing for your wellbeing 80% of the time
