Coronavirus and CFS/Fibromyalgia

Vitality101 Newsletter

Hello Reader,

Many of you are finding yourself quite concerned from the media attention being given the coronavirus. Are you worrying that it may be more dangerous if you have fibromyalgia, and if it is, what you should do about it?

Today's article will be in the form of a Q&A. And it'll go way beyond what you've been hearing in the news. I think you'll find it very helpful!

Let's start with 4 quick tips before we launch into the overview:

1. Once the virus hits your area, sucking on zinc lozenges while you're out in heavily trafficked public areas (subways, busy stores, planes) may kill the virus on contact.
2. You may also want to boost your immunity with Elderberry, zinc, and vitamins A (no more than 8,000 units a day, as higher doses can cause birth defects), C, D and E. These are all combined at optimal levels in a product called ViraPro™ (take one twice a day).
3. A supplement called ProBoost™ can be very helpful to enhance immunity. I begin taking this at the first sign of an infection.
4. Although the ViraPro™ has the key nutrients needed to optimize immunity, a good multivitamin (e.g., the Energy Revitalization System) can also help your immunity.

I keep the first three items above in my medicine cabinet to augment immunity at the first sign of viral infection. I've taken the fourth one every day for years.

So what are the special implications of the coronavirus on people with CFS and fibromyalgia?
