Meanwhile, alternative medicine groups promote the idea that eating the right foods or taking certain vitamins and supplements will strengthen the immune system so that it can successfully fight off coronavirus. “Like any virus, coronavirus is no match for someone with a strong immune system,” writes Sally Fallon Morell on a blog affiliated with the holistic nutrition group the Weston A. Price Foundation. Coconut oil, bone broth, and raw milk are among the foods she recommends to bolster the immune system against coronavirus. Just to be clear: This idea is patently false; humanity has never seen the virus before, therefore our immune systems have no natural defenses against it.
If we have no natural defenses against a virus that we haven’t seen, then why wouldn’t we just die whenever we encounter a new flu strain?
Also nice shout out. Weston A. Price Foundation knows what they’re talking about. If you didn’t know, Mr. Price is a Canadian dentist who discovered in the 1930s that remote people who lived on natural unprocessed food suffered nearly no cavities, while those same people under the influence of refined grains and sugars not only suffered cavities, but had physical deformities and succumbed to diseases like tuberculosis while people with sufficient nutrition didn’t.
I read an excellent book of his called “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” where he goes into this in detail, and it inspired me to follow something akin to keto. (incorporating pasture raised animal organs, raw milk, fish, butter, and similar nutrient dense foods)
Holy shit wow.
