Abstract
The novel coronavirus which emerged from Wuhan, China, in December 2019, was first described as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and affects different systems in the body resulting in different symptoms andseverity. The role of macro and micro nutrients plus gut microbiome (gutelung axis) to boost the immune system is well documented. Therefore, this study aims to boost the immune system particularly the lung immunity to shorten the infection course and prevent post-covid complications. The study strategy depends on maintaining the maximum nutritional status for well-functioning immune system, directing immune system to focus on viral infection by minimizing all the other oxidative stress pathways that cause further damage and put the body immune system under pressure. Furthermore, the protocol exploits all the possible mechanisms that could promote lung immunity via boosting healthy microbiome. This study includes 183 patients with positive PCR test and typical COVID-19 symptoms from Feb 2020 to Jun 2022. The patients were guided to follow a designed protocol which includes food supplements and healthy diet and nutrition. After 3 days of the protocol initiation, the covid score reduced by 1.14 (p < 0.005) then by 0.97 per day in classified study groups. The designed protocol showed a significant impact to shorten the infection course and complete recover within 10e13days and prevent long term symptoms and post-covid complications. The participants involved in this study did not receive any medications apart from pain killers. This protocol, which combined many factors to maximize the body immune system, is not restricted to covid infection but could be applicable for other viral infections.
