Covid-19

It is a virus - unfortunately we are not able to control it. Therefore, it is very important to remember about our immune systems, which are 85% in the intestines, and the ratio of the so-called good bacteria to the abnormal ones. This state of abnormalities in the gut is called dysbiosis, which many of us may have. At the root of dysbiosis are, for example, various types of bacterial infections, and the use of antibiotic therapies or steroid therapies. Since Covid-19 can also be passed through food, dysbiosis can increase the risk of infection. Additionally, leakage of the intestinal barrier poses a risk of secondary bacterial or fungal infection.

In addition, our immune system is greatly weakened by autoimmune diseases, which are abundant these days. We can mention Hashimoto, insulin resistance, RA (Rheumatoid arthritis), AS (Ankylosing spondylitis) as well as Atopic dermatitis.

At the last International Microbiota Conference, in which I had the pleasure to participate, clinical trials were presented about the colossal impact of taking vitamin D every day on our health. It is worth noting that at drElsner Clinic we approach each patient individually - as part of diagnostics - before starting treatment, we check the level of vitamins in his body. We know the latest medical reports and we know what level of vitamin D should be present in the body in order for Sars Covid-19 infection to pass asymptomatically or much milder.

We encourage you to perform tests that reflect the condition of your intestines, including Candida Albicans tests, to see if the Candida Albicans family is spread in the intestines. It is a fungus that may foster inappropriate reactions of the body as well as problems with the absorption of many nutrients.

What else can we do to minimize the effects of possible infection and to help our body cope with it? At drElsner Clinic, we perform tests for food intolerance, thanks to which we can eliminate pro-inflammatory products and thus relieve the immune system. To sum up - in the era of overload of information related to the pandemic - it is important to take care of our mental health, because also oxidative stress in everyday life and high cortisol (stress hormone) - cause considerable havoc in the human body.
