Zinc is the "silver bullet" for the virus. It disrupts the replicase (enzyme) from making more single stranded RNA viruses. The key is to get the zinc
past the phospholipid bilayer via ion channel which zinc is an ion. Quercetin, check Amazon, is an ionophore...meaning, it opens the ion channel for
zinc to enter infected cell, and disrupt the virus replication process.
There are at least three over the counter products that get zinc into cells. Two are the
zinc ionophores epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) and quercetin. The third is the compound
zinc orotate.
Of the two zinc ionophores, EGCG is the more powerful one. A trial in Arizona by Sherry Chow found that a dose of
400 mg twice a day was safer than the placebo.
Quercetin is a weaker zinc ionophore. The recommended dose of quercetin is
up to 2,300 mg/day,
so 1,000 mg twice a day for a couple of weeks should be safe. Possible side effects of using quercetin long term include
headaches, nausea and tingling sensations.
Dr. Hans Nieper found that zinc orotate, when compared to zinc carbonates, chlorides and sulfates, provided increased bioavailability in the cells of
the body. Zinc orotate, when compared to other forms of zinc, is more neutrally charged, which allows the
zinc to easily pass through the cell membrane. For the first three days of
the treatment, for people who weigh 165 pounds or less, the zinc dose should be 100 mg/day, for people who weigh more than 165 pounds, the dose should
be 150 mg/day. Afterwards, until the symptoms end, the zinc dose should be 50 mg/day. The upper limit for
long term use is 40 mg/day, and the typical diet has 12 mg/day. If you want to take zinc long
term to prevent flu, around 10 mg/day will help and should be safe.
Zinc orotate and EGCG combined should get plenty of zinc into cells. If you want even more zinc into cells, add quercetin.
