Grappling With the New Coronavirus Strains

From eNewsletter 1/27/2021

DID YOU KNOW that according to a new study from Journal of the American College of Nutrition, constant monitoring of ionized magnesium status with subsequent supplementation may be an effective strategy to positively influence disease contraction and progression of COVID-19? Magnesium is involved in more than 600 enzymatic reactions in the body, including those contributing to the exaggerated immune and inflammatory responses exhibited by COVID-19 patients. About 70 percent of the US population is purported to be deficient in magnesium. Important complementary mechanisms that may assist in neutralizing the effects of COVID-19 are magnesium's “calcium-channel blocking” effects that lead to suppression of the inflammatory agents nuclear factor-KB, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and other related endocrine disrupters; its role in regulating kidney potassium loss; and its ability to activate and enhance the functionality of vitamin D.

The New SARS-CoV-2 Variants

There is still much to learn about the new strains of coronavirus appearing in different parts of the world. One thing we know is that they can be 50 percent more infectious. According to the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, the U.K. variant may be more deadly. Pfizer and Moderna think their vaccines will be effective, or at least partially effective against the new variants. This must be confirmed through research, however. One recent study from Medrxiv shows that plasma treatment against the new South African variant is not as effective.
