This section stuck itself out at me:
Quote:Serine protease is another enzyme that’s “responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, enabling host cell fusion of the virus.”19 Inhibiting serine protease may therefore prevent spike protein activation and viral entry into cells. WCH compiled several natural serine protease inhibitors, which include:
Green tea
Potato tubers
Blue green algae
Soybeans
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)
Boswellia
I eat a lot of potatoes - Irish roots, and all that - but more interestingly, in the past 4 or 5 years, I've been drinking a lot of green tea as well. Makes me wonder how much that, in combination with my natural genetic resistance, played into the fact that I never suffered ANY detectable effects of my bout with covid.
I've also not got any access to a sauna - there probably ain't one within 200 miles of here, not even a home-built one in someone's back yard. I have a sneaky notion that a sweat lodge may serve the same purpose, though, so that's something to explore.

Potatoes are prebiotic, good for gut microbes....and gut is important for immunity . green tea is zinc ionophore , it assist zinc to cells which then help in many ways, other good zinc ionophore is quercetin . I take both quercetin and green tea + zinc if feel sick
"time restricted eating" aka Intermittent Fasting is really good for health , i mean really super good .
