Webinar Summary
Author, teacher, and researcher Aristo Vojdani, PhD gives an overview of the immune system, including the steps involved in targeting a virus and the importance of mucosal immunity. He suggests protective measures that work by enhancing mucosal immunity, including vitamin A, vitamin D, and colostrum, which may help reduce viral entry. On the other hand, Dr. Vojdani suggests stress is the number-one enemy of the mucosal immune system. He also discusses the connection between food allergies and immune health. He then reviews the testing currently available for Sars CoV-2, particularly what is available for antibody testing.
