Surviving Coronavirus

About this ebook
Understanding biochemistry, how COVID attacks the cells, and how the body tries to respond are the keys to knowing what supplements and vitamins, as well as treatment modalities may be effective in promoting survival and health.
This book is written both for the medical practitioner as well as the layperson, and attempts to explain some unanswered questions. The reader should get a greater understanding of which supplements to use and why to use them, and obtain insight into various other treatment modalities.

Preface
While several medications are thought to be curative or helpful, there is no guarantee that one will actually receive a prescription, no assurance that supplies will be universally available, and no drug works 100% for everyone.
Even without prescription medications, there are vitamins and modalities that may stack the cards
in someone’s favor, and perhaps decrease duration and severity of illness. Much of what is presented in this book may apply not only to coronaviruses but also to other respiratory viruses in general. When supplements may be in short supply or unavailable, foods can also be used.
Also discussed are some possible genetic factors which may affect susceptibility and severity of respiratory viral illness, and possibly factor into treatment decisions. The study of genetics is still young, and much remains to be discovered.
Some of the information may be a bit technical, but the average reader should still get from this book how they can help themselves and their family, even with no understanding of the technical bits.
This book attempts to explore alternative supportive measures, as well as modalities which have the potential to become cures
if the studies were carried out. It is hoped that discussion of these modalities may inspire further research.

Dr. Su Fairchild and I met for lunch on a cold winter's afternoon in Tysons Corner, Virginia, for the first time in 2013. We became fast friends because we had a common interest of sharing our knowledge within the Functional / Orthomolecular Medicine framework, genomics and a passion for finding solutions to difficult medical problems.
Dr. Fairchild completed her residency in Family Medicine at Drexel University and her Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Kansas under the auspices of Jeanne Drisko, MD. Thanks to Dr. Fairchild’s introduction I have had the privilege of becoming acquainted with Dr. Drisko.
I had trained in Internal Medicine at Harvard University, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Loyola University and Functional Medicine with the Institute of Functional Medicine.
When the COVID-19 Virus was first hitting China, Dr. Fairchild went to work researching what essential oils and supplements may be helpful and accessible to her far-away relatives who were terrified as the virus worked its way across the world.
We often collaborate on projects when we are trying to find solutions and this problem was no different. We worked independently and shared our findings. I kept an eye and ear open for information and was led by a story I heard on NPR to a scientist who was able to identify that part of the genome in the virus had been spliced from the genome of the HIV virus. We
