What I Have Been Using for Prevention for Illness in General, with Specifics towards Covid 19
Xylitol Nose Spray
3 to 4 times a day – the virus seems to live in the nose for a few days first. washing out the nasal passages her been recommended. I don’t have solid evidence on this, and it may not work, but it can’t hurt and makes sense.
Cleanse The Throat Regularly
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Zinc
Quercitin
This is good for allergies as well… Here’s discussions of why now:
“Quercetin and Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG found in green tea) have also been found to have zinc ionophore activity (45), and should therefore be considered for research in all potential treatment options for COVID-19.” (Dr. Eliza Song), This refers to the same study but gives more explanation: Quercetin confers protection of murine sepsis, Quercitrin Anti-Inflammatory Effect Involves Release of Quercetin, Which Inhibits Inflammation, Montreal researchers propose a treatment for COVID-19
Melatonin
The fact that the pro-inflammatory cytokine storm effects are induced by the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, the ability of melatonin to INHIBIT NLRP3 inflammasome elevates this powerful molecule to a truly unique position in the fight against COVID-19. This also means that if a patient, regardless of age, has adequate melatonin, the infectiousness of COVID-19 will be greatly reduced, and the chances of developing ARDS/ALI significantly diminished” (COVID-19, PNEUMONIA & INFLAMMASOMES – THE MELATONIN CONNECTION).

Great list! The other thing I would like to add is oil of oregano. Oregano is a natural infection fighter and quite effective at fighting covid (as well as other illnesses).
