Supplement to fight Covid-19 and other viruses - Cactus Jim - 10-24-2023
Hey all,
A chemical in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables inhibits Covid-19 and other respiratory viruses. Sulforaphane can be purchased as a supplement.....or you can eat lots and lots of broccoli.
Check this out:

In case someone says Vitamin D
I hear Vitamin D3 - but stick with the 400 IU and only max 2 times per week - Most D vitamins are way too strong and can lead to many problems
Even the MDs are Rx too strong a dose in D2 - D2 is the Rx and D3 is OTC -- but D3 has been shown to work better
That's the latest article from NCBI

Regarding vitamin D, 400 IU is too low for most people. I take 5000 IU daily. I had my blood level of vitamin checked and taking
2500 IU was too low, although it was in the normal range, on the very low end. I have been taking 5000 IU for a number of years now and my latest blood test revealed it was in the normal range, on the higher end.....so I stick with 5000 IU. When my Mom was alive (she died at 100 y/o several years ago), her MD upped her dose to 5000 IU as well. She had been taking 1000 IU and it was way too low.

As long as you take a good amount of vitamin K2 alongside vitamin D you can take mega doses. The K2 diverts calcium to bones & teeth and prevents calcification of the arteries- which can happen with high dose vitamin D on its own.
Vitamin C, Vitamin D & K2, Zinc & Quercetin and my immune system has never been better.
I would also recommend a good aged garlic supplement at 500mg a day or above. But it's pricey.
