Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
All viruses are susceptible to natural ingredients, particularly
vitamin C and lysine. Vitamin C inhibits the replication of the virus
and lysine is essential for blocking the spread of the virus through the
connective tissue.
All viruses are susceptible to this prevention and treatment programme
and there are currently no studies showing that any virus will not respond
to this regime. The only scientifically-based health recommendation currently
available to contain the SARS epidemic is high dose vitamin C and lysine
therapy.
References to the scientific studies that attest to these findings are
given below.
