Positive Health PH Online Issue 273 is published live 9 September 2021. Amid international events including withdrawal of American and UK forces from Afghanistan, ferocious wild fires, floods and droughts apparently the result of climate-change, much of the world is still attempting to cope with COVID 19 – the  major focus of much of the media, with beyond complex and apparently unresolvable simple solutions. A few opinions beyond the mainstream media:

Positive Health PH Online has always espoused bringing together the best of main-stream medicine with natural / complementary / alternative medical treatment into an Integrative Medicine Treatment Approach, rather than adopting the current binary approach to COVID of either lockdowns or vaccines. Much clinical success has been in treating COVID by enhancing patients’ immune systems; some of this clinical research has been published herein throughout the pandemic: PH Online Letters to the Editor Issue 265;  Letters to the Editor Issue 266; Letters to the Editor Issue 268;  Letters to the Editor Issue 270;  Letters to the Editor Issue 271

As Michael Passwater MT(ASCP) SBB DLM CSSGB (ASQ) in his recent OMNS - Orthomolecular Medicine News Service article – Vitamin C Levels in Critically Ill Covid-19 Patients eloquently documents:

“From the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to learn about the critical importance of maintaining adequate levels of essential nutrients. When the body is under stress from an illness such as an infection, merely eating an excellent diet may not provide sufficient nutrients to support the immune system. To stave off a fast-moving infection may require higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C has an essential role in empowering the immune system. Its oxidized form can be recycled by red blood cells (erythrocytes), but a fast-moving illness can overpower this system, causing vitamin C levels to precipitously drop.

“SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus capable of causing systemic, life-threatening disease in humans. Severe disease is characterized by hyper-inflammation, hyper-coagulation, and hypoxia. The virus produces proteins that knockdown two major pillars of the innate immune system, interferon and selenoproteins. Selenoprotein knockdown impairs antioxidant capacity and haemostasis (anticoagulation and clotting). The virus also damages RBC structure, which combined with loss of antioxidant capacity, impairs management of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide throughout the body. Additionally, consumption of NAD by the virus depletes cells of a vital energy source.

“Restoring and maintaining healthy levels of ascorbic acid, selenocysteine, vitamin D, and NAD is critical in the battle against SARS-CoV-2. In treatment, as well as in research, it is important to remember that nutrients do not work optimally alone. Selenium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2 are interdependent. Vitamin C, selenium, and vitamin E are interdependent. Niacin and NAD are also dependent on adequate intracellular selenoproteins and vitamin C levels. Single nutrient studies and interventions will miss essential synergies and confounding variables regardless of the sample size….”
