The recent outbreak of suspected norovirus infection in the UK and the USA and the ensuing panic in the media highlight the need for proper education around the prevention and treatment of viral infections. 

WHAT IS NOROVIRUS

Norovirus is the most common cause of Gastroenteritis, especially in the colder months, hence its other name ‘ Winter Vomiting Bug.’ It typically causes Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Stomach pain and discomfort and occasional fever and headaches. It spreads from person to person through contaminated food and water. 

The virus develops to cause symptoms about 12-24 hours after exposure, and the recovery takes between 1 – 3 days. However, it could lead to more severe complications in those with compromised health.

HOW TO TREAT NOROVIRUS

  1. ENSURE THE BODY IS PROPERLY HYDRATED: Norovirus usually cause diarrhoea and vomiting, which leads to dehydration. And dehydration impacts the functioning of the kidneys and cardiovascular system, putting the body at further risk of disease and delaying healing. Drink at least 2.5 litres of water and add a pinch of sea salt to every litre of water to make up for lost minerals
  2. Take Colloidal Silver Solution: Colloidal Silver solution destroys viruses as well as other microbes. It is natural, safe and has no adverse effects. Take 10 MLS 3 times daily for 5 – 10 days, depending on the severity of the infection. You can read the scientific research and clinical studies of Colloidal Silver from the link below:

HOW TO PREVENT NOROVIRUS

Not everyone exposed to norovirus contracts the infection. Yes, those with healthy immunity will fight off the infection. Here are the simplest and most cost-effective ways to boost your immunity:

VITAMIN D

Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy immunity. Scientists discovered that Vitamin D is like an activator of our immune cells. The body’s immune cells ( Macrophages, Lymphocytes, etc.) remain inactive until they come in contact with Vitamin D. Then they become activated and capable of fighting viruses, bacteria and other harmful microbes.

The best source of Vitamin D is sunlight, and some scientists have proposed that the reduced sun intensity in the winter months is the reason for the Norovirus infections.

Those living in colder countries such as the UK should take vitamin D supplements in the winter months to ensure a healthy immunity. 

The recommended dose for Vitamin D should be between 5,000 – 10,000 IU daily.

ZINC

Zinc plays a crucial role in multiple aspects of the immune system. It is essential for the healthy development and functioning of immune cells – Neutrophils, Macrophages and NK -cells ( Natural Killer Cells) as well as the B- lymphocyte cells. These cells destroy viruses, bacteria and fungi and produce antibodies that strengthen the immunity. Clinical studies show that people low in zinc are more prone to infections. 

Zinc picolinate is a well-absorbed form of zinc supplement.
