While we are celebrating CNY, I believe most people are also following closely the development of the Wuhan Virus outbreak.
Next is what can we do to stay healthy during this outbreak?
First of all, let's us understand what is Coronavirus:
Is there any medication for VIRUS infection? ๐
If you do follow my blog on NI, you should understand that there's no MEDICATION for virus. Antibiotics are for bacterial infection, even though antibiotics are effective for certain types of bacteria only.
Just like seasonal flu, SARS, dengue are due to virus too, why some people can recover from it? It is because thankfully we have the best doctor in the world inside us - which is our immune system. A healthy immune system able to defense & fight and recover faster from any viral infection.

Let me go further abit on how our body fight against bacteria or virus here.
Your healthy immune system has 3 main functions:
Defense -
defending against all the viruses and bacteria.
Cleanse - cleanse
out all the toxins from your body system to avoid toxins accumulation in the
body.
Repair- repair all the cuts and injuries, both internally and externally.
The first function of a healthy immune system is
Defense - which we needed during normal days especially during diseases outbreak.
In our body, we have an
immune cell, called the B–cell which
can produce up to 100,000 types of antibodies to
defend our body against different bacteria and viruses without causing any side effect.
This is our BODY NATURAL DEFENSE SYSTEM.
Versus MAN-MADE antibiotics, since the invention of the first
antibiotics-penicillin in year 1928, to date, there are only up to hundreds
types of antibiotics available in the market. Antibiotics is only
effective against bacterial infections. But, these drugs don’t work
at all against viruses.
WHEN WE RELY ON ANTIBIOTICS
TO FIGHT OFF INFECTION, WE ARE AT RISKS OF SUFFERING THE SIDE EFFECTS, WHICH
CAN RANGE FROM MILD ALLERGIC REACTIONS TO SEVERE LIFE THREATENING EVENTS.
OVERUSE AND MISUSE OF
ANTIBIOTICS LEADS TO CREATING DRUG RESISTANT BACTERIA KNOWN AS SUPERBUG WHICH
BECOME A THREAT TO YOUR HEALTH.
How you
know when is your immune system doing Defense?
Yes, eg during a
fever. So first of all,
we need to understand that fever is not an illness by itself. It is a sign that
our immune system is working hard to defense against foreign
invaders, for example bacteria or viruses in our body. For the immune cells to
work better, our body temperature is naturally elevated. (That’s why for Wuhan virus, fever is one
of the symptoms).
If we choose to
take medication at this moment, we are missing the opportunity to train up
our own immune system. Like i mentioned earlier diseases such
as seasonal flu, SARS, dengue or HRMD– there is no medication as it’s due to virus infection, how do we recover
then?
Yes, it’s our own Defense system working. By giving
our immune system a chance to train up it’s defense system, we
are allowing the B cells to develop a memory towards such foreign invaders. As
such, we will observe that the recovery rate from fever will become shorter as
now, the B cells know what kind of weapon to be used for a particular enemy.
By understanding the above, next then we know what to do during any viral outbreak, not just this Wuhan Virus outbreak. Human has been under virus threat for decades from SARS, Dengue and etc.
Externally, other than follow the advice from MOH, to maintain personal hygiene
Do we need to rush to get a mask? By wearing mask can really keep us safe from Wuhan Virus?
Have you read the news below?

Really grateful that with the knowledge in Nutritional immunology, we know the limitation of wearing a mask to protect against viruses!
This is Dr Chen Jau Fei's message when SARS breakout in 2003.
Knowledge is power, only equipped ourselves with RIGHT KNOWLEDGE then we able to safeguard ourselves and our loved one correctly.
That's why today instead of concern about running out of mask, other than externally ensure personal hygiene, advice from MOH n etc, most importantly is from internally I focus on strengthening the army inside us which is our immune system with NI food eg wholesome plant food which is rich in Polysaccharides ๐
Before I go further on what is Polysaccarides and what nutrients we can give to strengthen the army troops inside us to fight better, many have asked me on what hand sanitizers is safe to use.
While everyone is rushing to get hand sanitizer or anti-bacterial hand wash - still need to take note on the ingredients. Afterall if we over exposed to harmful chemical, we may kill the wuhan virus but at the same time we damage our liver too.
Read my previous blog here: https://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.com/search?q=triclosan
For me, I use Handygel - feel safe to be under NI. As safety is our utmost priority no matter what. It is a big bottle, so can transfer to smaller bottle easier to share among family members.
Now let's focus on what to give to strengthen the army inside us.
Do you know we are actually exposing to many others bacteria n viruses everyday, not just this Wuhan Virus? So nourishing immune system should be on daily basis and not wait till emergency only starts giving right food the army inside us yet expect them to work effectively.
How to nourish our immune system? Very simple - right after we wake up in the morning :) - BREAKFAST!
Hence for me, me & my family daily breakfast is SOYPRO (click the link here).
During emergency, we add on Emunity (click the link here) which is rich in Polysaccharides to boost up NK cells too.
