Natural immunity suffers because of deficiencies
Natural immunity suffers because of deficiencies
Dear reader
We hope to be back again by next week and present to you an article on natural immunity. Over the past few weeks it has become clear how natural acquired immunity against SARS-COV2 offers far better and longer lasting immunity than the entire range of vaccines do.
However, there's always a very small risk of getting very ill when you do contract SARS-COV2 and an even smaller amount of patients will suffer longterm or not survive.
While most of us will know the risks are larger when suffering from heart disease, diabetes or are overweight, and to some extent how lack of vitamin D will raise our chances to become more ill, few of us are aware of the importance of other micronutrients.
Just this week, a Belgian researcher was interviewed who discovered how nearly every single severely ill patient suffering from COVID-19, who didn't survive the disease, wasn't just deficient in vitamin D3, but also in the less well known minerals zinc and selenium. Almost everyone will remember how much attention was given to HCQ, which actually was little more than a zinc ionophore, that is, making sure zinc would enter cells.
Far less is known about selenium, except that it is know to be a mineral that used to be present in our soil, but no longer is. Now it appears that it is no longer a coincidence that incidence of severe COVID-19 was rather low in Finland, which has had the policy to add selenium to fertilizer in order to enrich the crops growing on them and the cattle feeding on them.
In the Netherlands we take a different approach : selenium is added to forage fed to cattle.
As a result, both meat and dairy contains adequate amounts of selenium. The richest natural sources of selenium though are nearly all found in nuts, more specifically brazil nuts and sunflower seeds and to a lesser extent in peanut(butter).
