“Tips to Boost Your Immune System”
Here are a few tips to consider to boost your immune system. Boosting your immune system can help keep your body healthy and ready to fight off infections. Please consider these especially in vulnerable populations including those with special needs/disabilities that may have fragile immune systems as well as the elderly.
Please note this list of tips is an ever-evolving list that is meant to enhance the information already out there on responding to COVID-19. This list of tips is meant to empower you to take action and help yourself, your family, and your health. This list of tips is not meant to overwhelm or to do all things right now but in incremental changes to your comfort. We hope it is helpful information.
The basics
Get your rest. This is so important. Sleep is important as it is the time the body is healing.
Turn off your Wi-Fi at night especially so the body can heal. Put your cell phones on airplane mode (yes the alarm if you use it on there still works in airplane mode!)
Eat as close to organic non-GMO as you can. If you cannot afford all things organic be sure to try to make small incremental changes where you can in getting you and your family in this direction.
Get your sugar intake under control. Watch the sugar you are in-taking and lower it as much as you can.
Drink lots of water. Keep your body hydrated. Opt for water instead of other drinks.
Exercise. Take walks as a family if you are able. Exercise helps to alleviate stress which is so necessary right now.

Zelenko Protocol
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko
Prophylaxis is an action taken to prevent or protect against a specified disease. Greek in origin, from the word “phylax”, meaning “to guard” and “watching.”
Low-Risk Patients
Young healthy people do not need prophylaxis against Covid 19. In young and healthy people, this infection causes mild cold-like symptoms. It is advantageous for these patients to be exposed to Covid-19, build up their antibodies, and have their immune system clear the virus. This will facilitate the development of herd immunity and help prevent future Covid-19 pandemics. However, if these patients desire prophylaxis against Covid-19, then they should take the protocol noted below.
Moderate Risk Patients
Patients from this category are healthy but have high potential viral-load exposure. This group includes medical personnel, caregivers of high-risk patients, people who use public transportation, first responders, and other essential personnel who are crucial to the continued functioning of society. These patients should be encouraged to take prophylaxis against Covid-19 in accordance with the protocol noted below.
High-Risk Patients
Patients are considered high risk if they are over the age of 45, or if they are younger than 45 but they have comorbidities, that is, they have other health conditions that put them at risk. These patients have between a 5 to 10% mortality rate if they are infected with Covid-19. These patients should be strongly encouraged to take prophylaxis against Covid-19 in accordance with the protocol noted below.
Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients:
Elemental Zinc 25mg 1 time a day
Vitamin D 5000iu 1 time a day
Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day
Quercetin 500mg 1 time a day until a safe and efficacious vaccine becomes available
If Quercetin is unavailable, then use Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day
Protocol for High Risk Patients:
Elemental Zinc 25mg once a day
Vitamin D 5000iu 1 time a day
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 1 time a day for 5 days, then 1 time a week
If HCQ is unavailable, then use the Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients.
