Prevention of infection and subsequent severe COVID-19 is crucial for patients with cancer, with vaccination being the most effective method of achieving this goal. Fortunately, owing to a concerted global effort, several highly effective vaccines have been developed at an unprecedented speed. In lar...

In this regard the role of micronutrients in supporting the immune system has been widely studied, as reviewed elsewhere [1, 24–26]. Multiple micronutrients play vital roles in supporting the immune response (Table 1). The roles of vitamins A, C and D and zinc, copper and iron are...
vitamins and supplements willy-nilly, with no evidence for efficacy of any of the individual components except the steroids sometimes included in the mix, with grand claims that the cocktail was the miracle cure. Truly, 2020 was ayear of physicians...
Another consideration is alcohol intake. “If you drink too much, your skin will be dehydrated,” Wechsler said, adding that it’s not known if one type of beverage is better than another. “It’s theorized, but that study has not been done.” She said that people’s cocktail preferences...
Vitamins and mineral supplements—including zinc, which at high concentrations is thought to impair replication in some RNA viruses—were also studied early in the pandemic. In a multicenter retrospective cohort study that evaluated the addition of zinc to hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients, no...
A post-vaccination cocktail may seem appealing, but remember to give your body time to recover. The CDC advises dressing in comfortable clothes and staying hydrated to help alleviate the side effects of the COVID-19 booster or vaccine.
As a cocktail with azithromycin (or that other one, forget what) and zinc, early seems to be the best bet for HCQ, and if further along (like your case) it seems to be a toss-up to slightly favoring the remsdesivir course. Though that might be because so many places don’t go ...
COVID-19 therapeutics investigated to date include anti-inflammatory agents, antivirals, antithrombotics, therapies for acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure, anti-SARS-CoV-2 (neutralizing) antibody therapies, modulators of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system and vitamins. ...
Maintaining a healthy diet is an essential step for maintaining the proper functioning of the intestinal immune system (Molendijk et al. 2019). A good, balanced diet rich in vitamins, probiotics and other nutrients preserves the balance of gut microbiota and the body’s metabolism (Schmidt et al...
