If you are already a client of Stop and Regrow you will know that your immune system is made of protein. What you may not also know is that our body requires Vitamin C to help turn the protein we digest into our immune system. Vitamin C also helps support immune system response. Not surprisingly the research shows that when we are sick, and in particular sick with respiratory illness, our vitamin c requirements increase substantially and our reserve stores become depleted. Its therefore important to maintain strong immune system function that we keep both our protein and Vitamin C intake high.
Dr Nettles has also been researching how the corona virus and viruses like to replicate. What he found is that All positive-sense ssRNA virus genomes encode RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), a viral protein that synthesizes RNA from an RNA template. Host cell proteins recruited by positive-sense ssRNA viruses during replication include RNA-binding proteins, chaperone proteins, and membrane remodeling and lipid synthesis proteins, which collectively participate in exploiting the cell's secretory pathway for viral replication.
We are what we eat - literally. Dr Nettles developed this 30 day eating plan to help keep your immune function high and to reduce virus replication capability.
