With the advancement of technology and the increase in travel opportunities, we have started to encounter many pathological factors frequently. Our immune system must be good if we want to fight these germs. There are many personal methods that can be taken for this, as well as some methods that will help you in terms of Complementary Medicine.

Let’s get to know the Super Oxide Radicals (SORs) a little in order to understand the damage caused by viruses in our body.

ASK What is it?

Oxygen is essential for human life, but some reactive oxygen species produced during normal metabolism have the potential to cause serious harm to the body. As a combustion product of oxygen, Free Oxygen Radicals can occur in the normal functioning of our body, as well as after exposure to environmental factors (UV rays, Environmental chemicals, Heavy metals, Viruses, Smoking, Stress, etc.). Free radicals are highly reactive forms of oxygen that destroy body cells. This invites cardiovascular diseases, cancer, cataracts, diabetes, liver damage and many other diseases.

Since SORs are missing an electron in their structure, they tend to steal electrons from the surrounding tissues. As a result of these behaviors, they cause damage to healthy tissues. Its effects can be in the size of the cell membrane and DNA (mutation in DNA, etc.) or in the organic dimensions. Therefore, their stabilization is necessary to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

Of course, we have a defense mechanism against these toxins that we are constantly exposed to on a daily basis. We call these “ANTIOXIDANTS”. However, in middle age and beyond, our ANTIOXIDANTS gradually decrease and they can reach levels that can cause cellular/organic damage.

Antioxidants, which are used in VIRUS infections, which we talk about frequently these days, suppress the reproduction of the virus and block its spread/development. Thus, they show an ANTIVIRAL effect.

In this article, we will take a look at the practical support and Antiviral Antioxidants you can get in the fight against viruses.

Antioxidants:

Although there is an antioxidant defense system in the human body that can prevent SOR damage, the environmental factors encountered reduce this defense resistance and often make it insufficient.

The natural antioxidant production of the organism decreases with age. In order to close this gap, experts have developed ways that we can take natural antioxidants from outside in a healthy way.

COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE MEDICAL SUPPORT:

Phytotherapeutic supports: It includes treatments made with special medicinal preparations obtained from plants that are accepted all over the world and used extensively in Europe as a result of years of experience. As an antiviral, ginger tea (must be brewed for 4 minutes with the mouth closed), sage mouthwash are the first measures to be used. In addition, eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender can be used in a cold diffuser as aromatherapy oil. Special prescriptions / teas can be prepared according to the health status of the person under the supervision of a Phytotherapy Specialist Physician.

ASCORBIC ACID: Vitamin C doses taken from foods can be made sufficient to meet the daily needs of the body. However, in the need of ANTIOXIDANT or ANTIVIRAL treatment, there is a need for professional supplements in different doses.

ASCORBIC ACID (Vitamin C) used in this sense has an important role in collagen tissue synthesis, heavy metal excretion, allergic reactions, supporting the immune system, reducing the risks of cardiovascular diseases / nervous disorders, and preventing DNA damage.

Viruses cause cell damage by oxidizing many structures in cells. Ascorbic acid used especially in the treatment dose; It can oxidize many species that have the potential to cause diseases in humans (making them harmless for the body). In addition to the direct antiviral activity of Ascorbic Acid, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also help in the fight against viruses.

ROS, which occurs during influenza infection and other viral diseases affecting the respiratory tract, can cause damage to the lung tissue and then inflammation of the lungs. Ascorbic Acid, which is applied in medical doses, helps the virus to settle, multiply and continue its life, and to prevent cell damage with virus-related SOR. It stimulates the body’s immune system. In addition, Ascorbate exerts a direct Antiviral action, which can provide specific protection against viral disease.

Including vitamin C in your foods allows you to receive the daily support the body needs, but high doses of Ascorbic Acid, which is given under special conditions under the control of a physician, are needed for treatment.

Glutathione (GSH): Glutathione is the most powerful Antioxidant produced by the human body. However, its release is rapidly decreasing by age and environmental factors. GSH neutralizes free oxygen radicals and protects the body against reactive oxygen species. In addition, it is absolutely necessary for the normal functioning of the immune system and strengthens the immune system by activating lymphocytes (cells that fight viruses in the immune system). Therefore, it has Antiviral activity.

Ozone Therapy: Ozone is a colorless gas form of oxygen and exists in the atmosphere. It plays an important role in maintaining the biological balance in the biosphere.

Ozone has been used in medicine for a long time because of its immune-supporting effect on bacteria, fungi and viruses. It can be effective even at low doses in killing bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. This effect; only by damaging the bacterial/fungal/virus cell membrane; is based on disruption of cell functions. It does not harm human cells.

Recent studies show that combinations of Ascorbic acid and Ozonetherapy to be applied under the control of a physician better support the immune system.

General precautions that can be taken: With these precautions, you will prevent the disease from infecting you and, if you are uncomfortable, you will prevent the disease from being transmitted to your environment.

Wearing a mask: If you are infected with the disease or if you are going to enter environments with sick people, it is beneficial to use a mask.

Avoiding contact and washing hands: Take care in contact with sick people. In particular, bodily fluids pose a risk. Many people unconsciously touch their nose, wipe their tears, sneeze, and then touch various places without washing their hands. If you are sick, please pay attention to these issues and wash your hands often, whether you are sick or not. Take care not to bring your hands to your face or mouth.

Nasal breathing: By-products of nitric oxide have a lethal effect on bacteria and virus growth. With nasal breathing, nitric acid production is provided in our sinuses. And the virus comes into contact with Nitric Oxide. Thus, the virus is kept in the nose before it progresses further in the body.

As long as humanity exists, the war between us and viruses will continue. The decisive factor here is to prevent contamination and to have a strong immune system.
