(Natural News) Previous infection with other coronaviruses may lessen the severity of COVID-19, reports a new study. Researchers at Boston University found that owing to genetic similarities with the SARS-CoV-2, prior exposure to other coronaviruses primes the immune system to mount a better response to the virus responsible for COVID-19. Although this doesn’t prevent people from contracting COVID-19, it does lessen […]

(Natural News) SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is markedly different from those responsible for the common cold. But a new study suggests that previous exposure to common cold coronaviruses may actually help train the immune system to recognize the novel coronavirus. The study, published in the journal Science, found that immune cells that recognize the coronaviruses responsible […]

(Natural News) The La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) has published a new study that suggests people who have been exposed to the common cold may already have immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Since the common cold is a type of coronavirus, bearing many of the same features and attributes as the novel coronavirus, […]

(Natural News) Apple cider vinegar starts life as an apple juice. It is then fermented twice with yeast. It is most notable for its strong, sour flavor, which is due to its main ingredient acetic acid. In turn, this substance is said to be responsible for the health benefits of apple cider vinegar. Meanwhile, honey is a sweet and […]

(Natural News) Viruses are usually associated with causing disease. However, scientists have long been fascinated by their ability to rewrite a host cell’s DNA, and whether it could be used for good. Now, a recent study suggests that a strain of the virus that causes the common cold may be used to help cure one type of […]

(Natural News) The human immune system works tirelessly to fight off invading pathogens like bacteria, toxins and viruses. To protect yourself from infection and disease, you must keep your immune system healthy, which can be achieved by eating nutrient-rich foods, getting enough sleep and exercising regularly. These healthy habits all promote a healthy immune function, […]

(Natural News) About 200 million cases of viral pneumonia occur every year, according to a recent review published in The Lancet. Researchers from Turku University Hospital in Finland and the University of Otago in New Zealand discussed several causes of viral pneumonia and how the infection is linked to other respiratory diseases, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and avian influenza. Most […]

(Natural News) Coronaviruses are not new — in fact, they’re some of the most common types of viruses. But what’s new is the coronavirus strain called 2019-nCoV that has been spreading in China, forcing the government to put 18 major cities and nearly 60 million people under lockdown, as of writing. According to the latest […]

(Natural News) Just like clockwork, the dreaded common cold comes around every year, causing runny nose, persistent coughing and misery. But does it really have to be this way?
