(Natural News) Since the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, several articles have discussed the potential of vitamin D to reduce the risk and severity of the disease. A team of researchers from Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, Spain, closely monitored a total of 930 coronavirus disease patients – 551 of whom were randomly assigned to receive vitamin […]

(Natural News) According to a fascinating study published in the journal Nature Communication, nanobodies or antibody fragments from an unlikely source can be used to produce a new treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19). Nanobodies from llamas? Researchers who participated in the study found that minuscule antibodies produced by llamas can potentially help treat coronavirus. These beneficial virus-fighting proteins could […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that people who recovered from a mild case of COVID-19 may have developed lifelong immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine arrived at this finding after tracking people who have had mild COVID-19. They found that these individuals still had immune cells that […]

(Natural News) A study published in February in the journal Science shows that immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) lasts at least eight months after a person has contracted COVID-19. This finding is an optimistic sign that immunity can probably last for many years. “There was a lot of concern originally that this virus might not induce much memory,” Shane Crotty, […]

(Natural News) An anti-parasitic medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can be used against the Wuhan coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), reports a new study. Australian researchers discovered that ivermectin, a semi-synthetic drug commonly used to treat head lice, scabies, ascariasis and other parasitic infections, can effectively kill SARS-CoV-2 within 48 hours in culture. “We found that […]

(Natural News) The contribution of asymptomatic transmissions to the spread of COVID-19 may have been grossly exaggerated, a new study suggests. After looking at data from 54 studies involving almost 78,000 participants, researchers from the University of Florida and the University of Washington have concluded that the majority of reported viral transmission cases were facilitated by […]

(Natural News) The safety of vaccines meant to stop the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) may remain unclear until millions of Americans have already been vaccinated. This is due to how vaccine monitoring programs in the U.S. are set up, according to former officials who helped control an outbreak over a decade ago. The […]

(Natural News) Social isolation due to pandemic-related restrictions have been linked to an increase in high blood pressure among patients rushed to the emergency room, according to a recent study presented at the 46th Argentine Congress of Cardiology. Led by Matias Fosco of the Favaloro Foundation University Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the study showed […]

(Natural News) Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) broadened the definition of “close contact” for COVID-19 — the disease caused by the novel coronavirus — after a correctional officer in Vermont who had brief close contact with infected prisoners contracted the disease. According to the officer, he was “never around the infected people for […]

(Natural News) A new study reveals that people who live in highly polluted areas are more likely to die from COVID-19, the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus. Researchers from Harvard University looked at the impact of particles less than 2.5 micrometers in size (PM2.5) from various sources, such as vehicle exhausts, on COVID-19 health outcomes. According to their findings, which appeared […]
