Registered pharmacist, nutritionist, and cosmetic chemist, Ben Fuchs shared alternative health concepts, and offered tips on supplements and healthy changes to one's diet and lifestyle. We have created a situation where an infection like the coronavirus has run amok, he commented, because our immune systems are weakened by a toxic environment, the western medical model, and unhealthy food and life choices. Yet, protection doesn't come from staying inside and wearing masks outside, he said. We can build up our immunity by getting on a good nutritional supplement program, he suggested, along with a good diet, deep breathing, exercise, and maintaining mental and emotional health. "These are all things that we have under our control," he added.

Perhaps the three most important nutrients for boosting the immune system are zinc, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A, Fuchs cited. The immune system is an amazing apparatus, he continued, as it makes antibodies which are like "heat-seeking missiles" that target specific viruses and germs that have entered the body. In general, people eat way too many calories, he pointed out, and the practice of caloric-restriction is one of the only known ways to increase lifespan.
