On March 7, 2020, two of my kids attended a dance in St. Louis where they MAY have been exposed to the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

As a result, I immediately started coming up with a plan to try to protect them should it turn out that they were in fact infected and came down with COVID-19 symptoms.

I quickly focused my research on Zinc, the active ingredient in Cold-EEZE lozenges, as a tool to use to fight COVID-19.

What I've found is that the idea that Zinc can help reduce the severity of symptoms caused by infection with the novel corona virus COVID-19 is NOT crazy.

But Zinc has to be taken CORRECTLY.

And CAREFULLY.

Zinc May Fight COVID-19

Here is what I have found about the CORRECT use of Zinc to fight the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

In sum, while Zinc will not PREVENT infection with the novel coronavirus COVID-19, it MAY reduce the severity of symptoms.

And keep you and your loved ones out of the hospital.

The Science

The theory is that, since Zinc works against the Common Cold...

"The mean common cold duration was 33% shorter for the zinc groups (95% CI 21% to 45%)  of the seven included trials. Three trials that used lozenges composed of zinc acetate found that colds were shortened by 40%..."

...some varieties of which, like COVID-19 are also corona viruses, it may also work against COVID-19.

Here's a meta-analysis.

I assume it's not being widely discussed because nobody's going to make a lot of money off of it, since Zinc is cheap.

Want to Say "Thank You?"

If you want to say "Thank you" to me for this information, I already have a GoFundMe page in place as a result of my status as a survivor of the Catholic sex abuse crisis.

ANYTHING would help.
