Talking Points From Dr. Nazarenko on
Escaping the Fear of Coronavirus from her white paper on this:

It is human nature to fear things we cannot control. Control makes us comfortable. It creates perceived safety.

It is therefore not surprising the widespread fear over the recent pandemic of 2019-nCov (Coronavirus). Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and is now spreading to many other continents and countries, causing large-scale public fear and mass hysteria.

Currently there are no specific antiviral drugs for 2019-nCov available. This adds to the public fear and the rapid and world wide transmission of the disease. The media contributes to the fear through a focus on death, catastrophes, and fear mongering.

While it is true that we do not have a specific FDA approved pharmaceutical to prevent or treat this particular virus, there are known strategies that are shown in research to reduce transmission and severity of Coronavirus.

Protecting Yourself

There is no specific FDA approved treatment for COVID-19, but that does not mean that we are defenseless when it comes to this particular virus.

There are known strategies to stop the transmission of the disease and reduce the severity and duration of the disease:

  1. Daily precautions
  2. Boosting immunity
  3. Dietary supplements and nutriceuticals

Immunity is Gut Health

Inside our digestive tract, our “gut,” lies an entire ecosystem of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, termed the “microbiome.” These bacteria sustain human survival and play a role in basic human functioning.

70% of the immune system lies in the gut, which means immune health in gut health.
