If people were to be sure they get enough Selenium in their diets they would have a much better chance of fighting off corona viruses when exposed to them, including SARS2.
A CDC or NIHH recommendation that people get an adequate amount of Selenium in their diets would save lives. Why don't they save lives? They know selenium would help, right?
Why the news omission of the importance of Selenium?

@metal-brain saidA healthy balanced diet improves your immune system. Gee ‘hold the front page’ because they kept that well hidden, I mean who’d have thought it?

@metal-brain saidYou sound as if you found a silver bullet (as did Eladar with the Vitamin D a few month back).

Fact is: If you have a healthy diet you will be more healthy. But this sounds more like a pleonasm, than a deep insight.
Another fun fact: eating mostly the same processed foods and then taking pills to get what the body needs is not the idea of healthy diet.

@metal-brain saidI think some people believe saves lives means nobody will die. Since people will still die, natural immune boosters should not be recommended.

These people are the true believers who believe in their heart that we need a vax to save the world. They are chicken littles who believe the sky is falling.
Apparently nobody read the article in the link I posted.
"Low Selenium Levels Cause Mutations
Another feature of selenium and its antioxidant enzymes is that it protects the genetic material from mutations. Also in relation to virus infections, we see this mechanism. When virus enters a human lacking selenium, it can undergo mutations making it far more dangerous. In other words, virus also needs selenium as a protection against free radicals. If the virus lacks selenium, mutations can occur making it even more dangerous. Common cold virus and HIV-virus and other common vira of the RNA-type form selenium-containing antioxidant enzymes to protect against mutations."
@cheesemaster saidWhat about vegetarians?
Most people eat plenty of meat which has selenium so maybe that's why less than 1% die from covid 🤔
Who is going to advise them to eat Brazil Nuts and Sunflower seeds? Or would you rather they die?
@metal-brain saidIn the Netherlands the Voedingscentrum gives that advice, which is 100% subsidised by the government.

@metal-brain saidThe ‘Vegetarian Society’? Countless vegetarian food and lifestyle books and tv channels? Their Vegetarian parents?

I don’t know what we’d do without you anti vaxxer conspiracy trolls MB.

Here is an excerpt from the link below:
"Ebola virus and the other hemorrhagic viruses have an added evolutionary advantage: they sequester selenium. The Ebola genome has a repeating sequence of codons that specify selenomethionine incorporation into protein, despite that the virus does not use the resulting selenoprotein directly. It just sits there. The codon sequence is there to deplete the host of selenium reserves so that it cannot mount an effective defense. As it turns out, the oxygen family of elements (oxygen, sulfur and selenium) have antiviral effects against most if not all lipid-enveloped viruses.
The reason that all viruses do not use this hemorrhagic trick is that it has a survival disadvantage, too. It kills the host too rapidly to have the best chance of spreading on a perpetual basis. Viruses need live hosts to survive. This evolutionary imperative is seen in the chronic nature of most lipid-enveloped viral diseases."
Here is another:
"The lipid envelope seriously challenges efforts to make vaccines."

Like ebola, SARS2 is a lipid enveloped virus.

Look into the science. The science is clear about selenium and SARS2. This is not a mere opinion as many reading challenged people on here seem to assume. Trolling does not change the science.
