- Zinc and immune function: the biological basis of altered resistance to infection
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9701160/
Zinc is known to play a central role in the immune system
and zinc-deficient persons experience increased susceptibility to a variety of pathogens
It is clear that zinc affects multiple aspects of the immune system
Zinc is crucial for normal development and function of cells mediating nonspecific immunity such as neutrophils and natural killer cells
Zinc deficiency also affects development of acquired immunity, activation of T lymphocytes and B lymphocyte help
B lymphocyte development and antibody production, particularly immunoglobulin G, is compromised
The macrophage, is adversely affected by zinc deficiency
Zinc is needed by these key immunologic mediators
Basic cellular functions such as DNA replication
RNA transcription, cell division, and cell activation
www.frontiersin.org/articles/...
Zinc deficiency results in altered numbers and dysfunction of all immune cells
Suboptimal zinc states have an increased risk for infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer
Risk groups for zinc deficiency
Malnutrition
Elderly and patients with various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases
Mild zinc deficiency is largely sub-clinical,
it is unnoticed in most people
World Health Organization
Assumes that at least one third of the world population is affected by zinc deficiency
Zinc deficiency is responsible for 16% of all deep respiratory infections world-wide
Supplementation, for which minimal to no side effects are known.
Europe 10 to 20% zinc deficiency

Zinc Protects the Human Body From Entering of the Virus
Essential for tissue barriers equipped with cilia and mucus, anti-microbial peptides like lysozymes and interferons
The expression of tight junction proteins was found to be zinc-dependent
Mucociliar clearance of viruses is affected by zinc
Physiological concentrations of zinc increase ciliary beat frequency
Zinc-dependent alterations in gene expression by pneumocytes
Associations with interferons
Zinc Directly Inhibits Viral Replication
Direct antiviral effects of zinc have been demonstrated
E.g. coronaviridae, picornavirus, papilloma virus, metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the hepatitis C virus
It was suggested that zinc can prevent fusion with the host membrane
Decreases the viral polymerase function
Blocks viral particle release
Destabilizes the viral envelope
Zinc Balances the Immune Response During Infectious Diseases
Hyper-inflammation, immune products including pro-inflammatory cytokines
Movement and over activation of immune cells to the lungs
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Need of zinc for lymphocyte development and function and that zinc supplementation can reverse lymphopenia
Zinc is indispensable in the signal cascade of the T cell receptor and as a second messenger
Zinc is required for B cell maturation and function
Zinc Supplementation in Respiratory Infections
A row of successful supplementation studies focusing on respiratory tract infection
In most cases, prophylactic zinc supplementation was more effective than therapeutic proceedings
Studies showed reduced symptom severity, reduced frequency, and duration of the common cold after zinc administration
Zinc supplementation of children in developing countries
Reduced pneumonia-specific morality by 15%
and 19% of pneumonia morbidity by 19%
Risk Groups and Symptoms of COVID-19 and Zinc Deficiency Reveal a Large Overlap
Low serum zinc levels are regularly observed in:
COPD, bronchial asthma, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, kidney diseases, dialysis, obesity, diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, liver cirrhosis, immunosuppression, and known liver damage
57.5% elderly and nursing home residents in the U.S., showed significantly decreased zinc intake
Zinc supplementation was able to reconstitute immune function in elderly and zinc deficient individuals
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
(Journal of infectious diseases)
The study data clearly show that a significant number of COVID-19 patients were zinc deficient. These zinc deficient patients developed more complications, and the deficiency was associated with a prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality.

Pregnant women 11 to 18 mg / day
Lactating women 12 to 14 Mg/day
The fact that health authorities aren’t giving us this type of information on the likes of zinc & vit D is frankly shameful
But not surprising. For example regarding vitamin D, Hancock, when health minister in answer to a question by David Davis MP said that vitamin D had been studied as to its affect against covid and that it had no protective properties. This was a lie and was proved to be such later on. Politicians and their advisers, the "experts" know the science but will never reveal it as they have their own sinister agenda.
I wonder what kind of medical advice people are getting? I live in an extremely liberal part of the country and I have BOTH my eye doctor and primary care physician talk about the benefits of vitamin supplementation. It is just common sense and not ignored in my area. Maybe in rural areas it is considered weak to take multivitamins? I don’t get it, just common sense to supplement unless you are super specific and targeted in your food choice.
@@DougMorley1 the CDC literally has an article about the benefits of vitamin D for viral infections. I don’t know what else you want them to do? Send every person vitamin D supplements?
@Dave Mills this has be known for my whole 41 years! Where on Earth have you been?! You should tidy up your personal knowledge.
Criminal!
The positive side of this pandemic is being more aware of my own health and having an interest in videos like this
Me too
Absolutely! I'm taking much better care of myself, these days.
it all really does expose the true agenda of the fraudulent "medical" or "health" establishment as in reality a PROFIT ON SUFFERING AND DEATH ESTABLISHMENT !
Very good point !!!👍
And it works
A rare doctor that doesn't just parrot what his professors said in medical school. My salutes!
Not a medical doctor. Please be careful with effusive praise.
@@milesobrien2694 I didn't notice that he put "Dr." before his name, rather than "M.D." after his name. So, thank you for correcting my error. Alas, here in the USA, it is all too common for medical doctors to continue their education only from the information provided them by drug salesmen. I stand by my praise of Dr. John Campbell.
@@pepperco100 Oh, not trying to make any less of Campbell. I subscribe and think he is the best. I just think that John is playing a bit of a game by calling himself "Dr." Etiquette is that you don't call *yourself* Dr. for a Phd. It's deceptive, especially when you're talking about medical topics.
@@milesobrien2694 Medical doctors only got the name 'doctor' from the PhD they acquired during their training. I don't get why everyone seems so intent on pointing out the fact he's not a M.D when he never recommends people do something without the guidance of their own physician.
If keeping people healthy were of any importance to the "experts", this would be part of their message. It is not in their message, it is not their goal.
You are exactly right.
You're correct. If the goal were to keep people healthy, then refined sugar, flour, vegetable oils would be banned (most processed "foods"), along with pesticides, herbicides, synthetic hormones, GMO products, etc., etc.
But they don't care about people's health, only about huge corporate profits (big pharma, big agriculture, etc.)
People really need to wake up.

Thanks - recently, we started taking Zinc, Vit D, Quercetin, Vit C. My wife's asthma significantly improved, which was a great and unexpected side benefit.
My asthma has also significantly improved since taking quercetin amongst other vitamins 😊
@Yuri R. Thank you. Good to know. From what I can find, the possibility of negative side effects from oral supplementation with quercetin in the usual range of 200 to 2000mg/day is very unlikely.
@Yuri R. Thanks again. I couldn't find a study that states that nor defines what long term use is. Do you have a link to any studies on this?
Appreciate you input.
@Yuri R. OK, thanks.
This is what I found so far, but I will keep looking -
"During a 2-year study conducted by a US-based government organisation called National Toxicology Program, male rats fed 2 g/kg body weight/day of quercetin (corresponding to a dose of 140 g for a 70 kg individual) showed severe chronic nephropathy, hyperplasia and neoplasia of the renal tubular epithelium. At lower doses, from 50 to 500 mg/kg/day, no significant adverse effects were reported. However, parallel studies performed using the same rat model failed to confirm the renal histopathological effects of quercetin. Therefore, the possibility of negative side effects from oral supplementation with quercetin in the usual range of 200 to 2000mg/day is very unlikely."
@@kdh130 Use EGCG INSTEAD of quercetine
5 years ago, my GP in Germany suggested I take 20 mg of zinc, 3,000 of vit D in the winter (1,000 in summer) and 200 mcg Selenium... all to build my immune system. Many GPs in Germany "prescribe" vit D because of the lack of sun we can experience. Be well all!

@@marc639 how much zincvis enough. And what form.
Fauci takes 6,000 /day...
@@marc639 You mean vitamin D? If a person has a blood test to actually measure blood levels, then you will know how much you need to supplement. I take 4,000 IU/day and my blood level is between 60 and 70. I'm happy with that.

Dr John, I am amazed at your dedication to helping so many people. All I can say , Sir is thank you so very much , and God bless you.
never glorify man, make idols of man.... its big in the usa culture; all humans are evil, the heart is wicked in pride...ego... vainity

While taking zinc for longer duration we need to balance Copper as well. Need to keep Zinc :Copper ratio around 20:1 for every 20 mg of zinc we need 1 mg of copper intake.
Glad someone else already mentioned this as well 👍
Nothing in isolation! Generally a good healthy lifestyle in a good healthy world, as soon as we start to lose the benefits of a healthy world we realise we have to help with supplements but of course, none of these dietary needs, works in isolation.
Glad someone has already mentioned this. .it is essential. .I have often thought about many unnecessary deaths are caused by copper deficiency once winter rolls along and zinc uptake is started just because.
Ty for that info🙏🏼
I wonder what tools Stone Age peoples used to keep this ratio in check.
good to know. i'll probably get my zinc on before the fall wave. i love these videos Doc. as an american, it feels like we aren't getting all of the info we need here in the states. it makes me feel better when i watch videos that aren't polarized by american politics. i'm extremely greatful that doctors like you are giving us informed news. Keep up the good work! 👏😎
Just remember he,s not a medical doctor. Some of this is self taught.
@@user-nx6ji9tk8i No but he has a PhD and has taught nursing students for decades. It is also always data-driven from science studies.
@@johnnicholas7740 but I doubt he had much nutrition teaching. Hence my other comment.
@@user-nx6ji9tk8i you're right he had very little nutrition understanding. He only fairly recently came to the understanding of effective D was in boosting the immune system. It's been known about for decades.
Lesson is to be your own doctors folks, research and cross reference. He's just reading what's available.
He's still very much tied to pharmaceutical medications as he was taught in his nursing training.
@@rickknight3823 I tell my mates when they need to see the doctor : know the diagnosis, know the treatments and specifically ask for them, and be your own project manager to chase up on results, progress, review etc. Am I joking?? Best to have some support too. Some say that doctors now need to be nutritionists, and some nutritionists are doing the task of some doctoring…. There is now a push in the UK that medical students actually get some nutrition training. Only taken 70+ yrs of the NHS, so making progress! When nurses get nutrition training, let’s hope that is from those with approved nutrition qualifications and research ….
"Optimising" the immune system. Such a subtle yet important distinction between "boost".
For 'boost' do you mean permanently disable or amend it [twice] with, well, you know what... much better to massage than massacre our immune system.
Certainly wouldn't want to boost your immune system right when you're at risk of a cytokine storm.
The lady doth protest too much!
Thank you for clarifying this for me. I've recently started watching your videos and zinc has been high on my priorities for: lets say, understanding. I suffer from COPD and Lupus, I recovered from heart disease and the medications prescribed to me gave me many adverse effects. I stopped taking them all and chose to look for alternatives. These included changing my diet and vitamin/mineral supplements. When my medications were prescribed there was no discussions about any deficiencies and I was told I must take these medications for the rest of my life. I must say that I and I alone understand my body's reaction to medications and since I have been using zinc suppliments, I rarely get a cold or flu and when I do, it lasts for only a couple of days. Please continue this good work, I know you have a lot to read and consider, and: as you are doing; give us the unbiased facts that we all deserve. Cheers.
I went through a string of colds and chest infections about 10 years ago, and became allergic to penicillin as a result . On advice of Doctor started taking a multivitamin and mineral tablet per day (I chose the Boots one in the UK). Since then barely had a cold and no chest infections. So taking RDA of a range of vits/muns worked for me.(I have taken extra vit D during the pandemic)
yup....me too.....but keep away from the gen therapy, it will not end well!!! :-)
The Boots multivitamins contain a lot more than the RDA. Most are 200 percent to 300 per cent.
The Boots a-z 50+ container says 10mg, 100% of nrv
Thank you. It's possible to advocate for vaccination and also give info on how to be in better health. The fact that you've talked about Vit D, and hosted conversations about treatment, helps me believe you care about our health, the future of this world, and are coming from integrity. The single focus on vaccination only without even basic Vitamin D info, and the vilifying of treatment going on out there is giving the message to many people that those in power do not care about health.
Seems clear enough to me that those in Government have no interest in informing us about vitamin supplements nor anything else around our health, otherwise they would ban cigarette smoking and heavily discourage the eating of junk food. But let us not be like children here. We know well enough that the food industry and the medical industry are the two biggest influencers of Government policy across the world and have been since the end of WW2. It really is time we took our health into our own hands and behaved like the adults we should be. NOT follow blindly what Chief medical officers and Doctors say. They are paid by the pharmaceutical industry to tell us what we should buy to remedy the illnesses they say. we have.
Not really, because these vaccines don't promote better health.
And all the time spent talking about the vaccines is time taken from exploring the *many* areas of nutrition that could be discussed, all important to protecting us from a disease.
Wanting to voluntarily have a unproven experimental substance injected into your body is a personal choice ! Having your employer threaten your job if you wish to not take the jab is evil at it's core , this is my issue Freedom of choice has been taken away from the Human race , by the way I have seen 4 acquaintances die in 6 Months that where previously healthy before the jab , 2 of them died in less than 48 hours ( heart attacks ) and one was a 19 year male , what a unbelievable horror this is becoming as next year will really wake those that watch this go viral , pun intended ! My sister is a vaccine lover and always calls on my Birthday in August , this year no call just a text saying she was to ill to call , still no call and tomorrow is Oct.1 , what a shame !
It is getting more and more evident that this Government does not care for our health, more interested in following an agenda.
@@phillipoleary2532 ALL GOVERNMENTS the same!!!... with perhaps a very very few exceptions
More like this please, thoroughly enjoyed listening to all this information that can actually help the health and wellbeing of people.
Dr. Campbell is promoting "Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)" - warning us against eating too much vitamines, like Media (every year there will be headlines about: - Got sick of vitamines ... always talk with you doctor before you eat pills)
and he will be the cause of why there is 59% iodine deficiency in UK.
agree
@@kjell1087 So do you disagree that over-dosage of vitamins can happen through untrustworthy supplements, taking significantly (but not necessarily multiple times) more than recommended or taking vitamins you already have an access of through regular nutrition?
Yes, deficiencies are harmful, but you can even overdose on dihydrogen monoxide. If you didn't understand that you could be a victim of naive substance abuse.

Thank you so much for the clarity and the rational, reasonable, measurable approach you take to make your point on these alternatives, supplements. Appreciate it very much.

The information linking a good diet to good health is abundant and has been around for years. Why do you need the government to hold your hand and tell you not to live on a diet of processed fatty over sweetened junk and fast foods and that eating fresh food is better for your health ? Ever seen the "Food pyramid" there's a start right there.
@@BoggWeasel AJM was commenting on this video which is specifically about Zinc. I doubt a majority of the population knows even half of the Zinc-Immunity info presented here. So whether someone relies on the government for a general good diet recommendation or they have figured it out themselves - I share in AJM's enthusiasm on this topic. If you can find a version of a "Food Pyramid" that also has all of this specific zinc- immunity info right there on the page, please tell us which textbook you found it in. I'll replace the one I've got with your more enlightened version.
Finally?? Have you JUST caught up?
This is good, we need to feel empowered instead of scared.
“Germaphobia” is understandable. Scientists warned that the risks of DualUse/Gain of Function research outweighed any benefits. A black man paused the federal funding, and the biggest loser in politics started it back up. I can neither confirm or deny if private funding paused along with it.

Campbell does this now and again. Once in a while he'll bring up topics that appear to be in the interest of public health and well being. For e.g he'll bring up the myocarditis issue just to tick a box but never an analysis the extent of damage the jabs are causing. An occasional nutritional upload will be followed up with more of his usual "vaccine" pushing content. Classic gaslightling!

Not sure if this is covered in the video, but zinc is not stored in the body, and any excess will be flushed away. So it's wise to eat some zinc-rich foods on a regular basis. Zinc levels can also be adversely affected by too much coffee and alcohol.
These are some of the reasons for widespread deficency. 25mg per day is recommended, 50 was used in treatments for c with 0.5g quercetin.
zinc is a mineral and fat soluble dr. chris, you don't "flush it away". stop dispensing medical advice.
@@annemarieandrews3522 Zinc deficiencies a global concern
September 17, 2009
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Other vitamins and nutrients may get more headlines, but experts say as many as two billion people around the world have diets deficient in zinc - and studies at Oregon State University and elsewhere are raising concerns about the health implications this holds for infectious disease, immune function, DNA damage and cancer.
One new study has found DNA damage in humans caused by only minor zinc deficiency.
Zinc is stored mainly in the skeletal muscles and bones (86% to be precise).
Yes. It would be great if our famous doctors would tell people how to keep their immune systems strong.
Well....a multivitamin will do you no good what so ever and taking 5 times your daily RDA of C and D is not a good idea in the long term. Eat fish and veg and fruit and dont waist your money on medicines that don't provide any benefit to your heart or health.
They don't generally do this, because the pharmaceutical companies start early in the training of new medical students, conditioning their minds with a sticking plaster mentality, treat the symptoms, don't cure the disease. Makes perfectly good economic sense. If everyone is well, then there are no customers. No customers, no cash! The doctors are essentially only doing what they are brainwashed to do. When one breaks the mold, and questions the narrative, they get called a heretic!
That would be too simple an answer for many of these influencial academics.
Careful as it is the immune system that is the frequent cause of death for people who die from viral infections. You want it strong to begin with and then weaken with steroids to avoid a cytokine storm that is frequently deadly. This is done with Covid but is tricky. You almost want a 'reasonable' immune system. Not bad but not so good that it kills you. Isn't life interesting.

Thank you for this great information. I found you on UA-cam and have learned an incredible amount.

It is so so true. My daughter used to have cold and chest injection, cough and high fever almost every 2 month and was very weak from 1 to 4 years old but since she was 4 I started to give her food supplement which included D3 and Zinc and amazingly, touch wood she has never been sick any more, and now she is 15, only very very minor cold once a year.

Wow, this was a video “jam-packed” with useful information! Thanks for the references full of data. Giving us a list of foods containing zinc was a gift as we can immediately modify our diets if necessary. You gave us another banner day of helpful information yet again.
Dr. Campbell, this is an awesome video - you are saving many lives by explaining these concepts so clearly! I'm in the US and disgusted with the supression of all nutritional information. It has become almost criminal for anyone - especially physicians - to talk about nutrition, required for optimal human performance and immunity. The focus is on only newly-patented Rx drugs and all government agencies are fully "captured"
Dr Campbell, you are one of our lifelines. Steady no-nonsense education and reminders. Always respectful as well, acknowledging the importance of practitioner consultations. Also chiding those taking short cuts for injections which may have caused serious issues is reasonable. Now we are reminded of basics such as nutrition, and frankly we need those reminders. Not that it will stop all the sweets , especially when stress causes that type of eating, but at least it’s a reminder to eat better and take care with nutrition, as we should know we aught to do but in stressful situations may forget especially. Thank you once again,
Good. Back to basic treatments. We'll need them in the future.
"future" google zinc, there is only 17 years left of zinc left on the planet... hence why theyre killing everyone and their mammas now
Copper will not run into physically scarcity in the future, but increased demand and decreased resource quality will cause significant price increases. ... The total supply of copper reaches a maximum 2030-2045, zinc 2030-2050 and lead 2025-2030.

This was fantastic information Dr John. I’m going to send the video to people. Many thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
Well thats what we truly need natural remedies to help strenghten our immune system. Please keep this content up. Im so glad youve chose this topic. This is absolutely necessary to hear. Thankyou and keep us informed on natural ways , maybe even look at produce instead of product too.
Thank U so much for your medical studies, I have been learning a lot. This one was a real eye opener for me having COPD & emphesima the importance of zinc is HUGE ,,, I wish some of my engineering professors were as good as U. Not all professors are as gifted as U are & we are ever grateful for those that are because we really have a love of learning,,, best wishes to U.
I literally can't thank you enough for your posts. They should be compulsiry viewing. Kudos, Dr. John!
Thank you for doing the work to find this info and for trying to remind people to try and be as healthy as possible to give themself the best chance to fight off disease.
I agree. Zinc has been a lifesaver for me, as quite a few times, I’ve had horrible asthma attacks and my inhaler did nothing. Then I took Zinc, and after no more than 5 minutes am I all better.
Zinc needs at least a week to stabilize into your body and take actions. So your comment is just laughable.
I've actually found that mullein tea works better than my inhaler. Also worked better than my inhaler when I had Covid. I am asmathic.
Dear John,
Thank you for your tremendous support and sensibility in this hard times; and we look forward to your updates everyday.
When are you getting your workstation back?
Best regards,

Why i like Dr John is he shows the studies and trials his information is accurate
If you want to cure your genital warts or any kind of infection purchase a herbal product from Dr. Anii on UA-cam channel he cured mine

I have learned more on your channel in the past week than I have in the past few years about the human immune system.
The fact that this was recorded before Omicron showed up and Dr. Campbell already knew we were headed to the Endemic phase of the Pandemic is pretty amazing to me.
Not a medical doctor. A Phd.
@@milesobrien2694 being a PhD makes you a Doctor..
@@LlibertarianGalt It makes you a Doctor OF PHILOSOPHY. Not a Doctor OF MEDICINE.
MD. PhD. In Campbell's case it is disingenuous to call himself Dr. as it leads the average buffoon to believe his doctorate is in medicine. Etiquette in this case leans towards a PhD leaving the Dr. sobriquet for others to note and use.
@@milesobrien2694 PhD exists everywhere, only Americans use the terminology M.D.
He's a critical care nurse with a PhD that required him to advance his field. He did his PhD in advancing the teaching of a and e nursing, which in the UK is a position that manages the accident and emergency. It's literally a medical PhD

Wow! That was a lot of information and greatly appreciated! I notice that shell fish is also on the vitamin D3 list. I keep Zinc lozenges in my home and since childhood have taken them at the first sign of a cold or sore throat. Momma was right once again. Thank you Dr. John for a another excellent video.
Fish is more than just omega-3s,” Dr. Mozaffarian says. “It also contains zinc, important amino acids, and vitamin D.” “If you regularly eat fatty fish, supplementation isn't necessary.”
@@dennispickard7743 same if you eat red meat. High in zinc. A single 1/3 lb burger has well.over the rda of zinc.
Finally! Back to the truth and the basics! Very proud of your John here. Thank you.

You were the first to even talk about the vitamin D element!
I've been taking vitamin D for 10 years

I'm fine about vaccination, but it's not enough, WE need sleep, Sun, fresh air, exercise and well balanced diet.
don't forget mental health. fear and depression don't help at all.
I believe regulating my sleep using melatonin has been a game changer for me.....I was an insomniac all my life....there is no telling how many years I cut off my life by not sleeping.
Silence! There are no randomized control trials proving that sleep, sun, fresh air, exercise, and well balanced diet are safe or effective for covid. Stop spreading scientific misinformation or I am going to formally fact-check you! ONLY get the vaccine, NOTHING else. PACK the nightclubs after scanning your QR code. DO NOT install HEPA filters. DO NOT work from home: work in the packed office instead after getting vaccination. DO not do delivery or takeout: eat the burger INSIDE the restaurant (after vaccination of course)... that QR code will not protect you from long covid but it will reduce your chance of hospitalization. I am telling you that your long covid doesn't matter: only me telling you hospitalization matters matters. Do not question me otherwise you are automatically a horse de wormer conspiracy theorist. I AM science. Also, continue eating junk food and being obese and increasing your risk of diabetes and heart disease absolutely unnecessarily! We don't need to address that!

Thank you DOC. another good report. Keep up the good work. All the best wishes to you
Well done. Even when my lecturing was lptimal, I do not believe I could have delivered so much and kept attention throughout. Thank you. I alternator bit C and zinc, as my wife is a retired practice nurse.
Thumbs up for a change as it's not all about vaccines.
Don't get too excited. For the fun of it I searched a few brands of nutritional supplements made for horses, and one of the minerals included is Zinc. It's only a matter of time before Anderson Cooper finds out about these favorable zinc studies and warns the public about more horse pills.

Thank you, Sir, for taking your time of the day for educating us. I always listen to your videos with great interest!
Thank you Dr. Campbell. You are providing a highly valuable public service with excellent information and a great format.
I added Zinc, Vitamins A & D and Quercetin to my daily supplement regimen 18 months ago.
Seems vit c 750mg d is useful in that combo, too.
To what overall health results?
K2 helps when taking D3. It ensures that the calcium from the D3 is absorbed by your bones.
@@tjayne8121 If taking warfarin use nattokinase, I think that is the spelling. Some K2 supplements have various amounts of K1 in them
I take two Vit D3 capsules every morning. No covid. Yet I'm still lockdown. So that helps.
Dr. Campbell. I did not hear you caution against taking "too much" supplemental zinc. In the U.S., we have many people who think that if a little bit is good, more is better. It is important not to take "extra" zinc, because it can be toxic at high doses, starting at levels approximately 10 x the recommended dose. None of the other essential elements have such a small difference between the needed amount and an amount that risks toxicity.
It was said. You just missed that.
Around 5:54 he challenges the WHOs statement around side effects.
You can’t cure stupid
Last Light, AGREED, as someone who likes to sip water from a fire hose, the toxicity of zinc at "modestly excessive" levels is important to highlight. The good doctor "not particularly agreeing" with the declaration that minimal to no side effects from supplementation are known, and highlight that dosage needs to be well regulated may be a bit understated a caution "DO NOT (much) EXCEED dosage recommendations. I'm still not sure if he was saying he'd probably take 50 or 15 mg 3-5 times a week . . . okay, I think he's saying fifteen ? (11 mg daily was the recommended dosage for males 14+)
@@solarnaut I have bought in a pharmacy in vitamin section Zink 30 mg with direction for use 1 tablet daily. Unfortunately, i cannot attach the photo. So 15 mg 3-5 times a week does not look like overdose to me. In any case weekly dose 5*11 mg is a bit less than 7*11 mg.
We love you Dr. John! You're the best!

@@johmyh14 yes, PhD in education… we can all look it up! But not a medic was all I flagged up…. And he wasn,t teaching nutrition modules. Just a wee caution to listen with critical awareness as in all scientific disciplines. All this Corona virus virology / immunology fabulously complex with more unknowns than knowns I would argue, and lack of data in nutrition research an ever present fact.
@@user-nx6ji9tk8i His PhD is in teaching Nursing, which is absolutely relevant when it comes to healthcare.
He have 40 years experience as a nurse to boot.
Ignoring what Nursing actually is either ignorant or malevolent. So which is it?
@@johmyh14 Yes, you,re correct in his qualies. I,m certainly not being malevolent. I,ve worked in health for a long time too. But I merely point out that nutrition is a specialist subject and we need to take care listening to a general answer without the necessary guidance or background. Many comments have flagged up some cautions. For all these reasons I,ll stop now. No spat intended.
I am 78, a retired computer scientist. I spend most of my time indoors.
I eat ready meals for my lunches, and my wife cooks us dinner.
Because of my age and relative inactivity, I take various dietary supplements.
It may be overkill and I may have, as a doctor friend once said, “expensive urine”. 😄
But that is much better than any deficiencies.
Each day I take:
Standard vitamins and minerals (100% of daily requirements)
Vitamin D 4000 IU (large known-safe dose)
Vitamin K2 200 ug
Vitamin C 1000 mg
Zinc 25 mg
Calcium 800 mg
Omega 3 fish oil 2000mg (for neural sheaths)
Fibre 1400 mg
So far, I feel good with no health problems (apart from my asthma which I have had for a long time).
Excellent, always happy to hear from you dr Campbell, and looking forward to the next clip :)
Hi
Thanks so much for this informative video John. I have watched your videos since the pandemic from NZ. I have come to really appreciate how you make the information accessible even when it is a bit technical. You will go down in history for many people globally as the voice of reason and factual information based on evidence. If I need the latest information that I trust I have always gone to your clips as your predictions often come before the government’s new decisions. Unfortunately, governments don’t always get it absolutely right as they are often influenced by the political agenda at the time. Thanks again.
Glad Dr. John is talking about this now...Zinc, Vit D, Quercetin, Vit C. Not sure if he’s spoken about some of these supplements in the past. Exercise, sleep, diet...also very important. Yes...boost our immune system in every way possible!
According to other top comments he's mentioned it in early 2020.
Yes. Many times he has discussed these over the last year. It’s not his toeing the governmental line that has me watching his videos, he has lots of good stuff too!
Yes he was early on the vitD and zinc advice.
@@sms4hou676 haha agreed!
I mean all stuff you get in a healthy diet and a short time in the sun...
Thanks so much for posting this video which has been a real eye-opener for me. Really valuable information, Dr. Campbell. Thank you!
Have been taking zinc supplement for 20 years & rarely get a cold, when I do, it is usually mild. This man isn't selling anything so I trust his advice.
“Pretty quick data burst”! Real quick. Thanks John. Very good to know.
Thank you Dr Campbell. God Bless you & your family always!!!
Vitamin C, D and Zinc are crucial to take during this endemic! They all support & boost your Immune system. So important!!
Add Que rcetin to that mix 500 mg d
There is a lot of skepticism toward the role of Vitamin C despite all the cough drops and products like Airborne.
@@emmettturner9452 sure fact checkers will prove vits and mins are for loosers, just use meds !
Good stuff. Additional candidates for supplements - with some titles to search on the internet:
1. Selenium - there is some evidence like "Association between fatality rate of COVID-19 and selenium deficiency in China”
2. NAC - “N-Acetylcysteine to Combat COVID-19: An Evidence Review”
3. Quercetin - “Anti-inflammatory potential of Quercetin in COVID-19 treatment”
4. Also important to have enough protein, as protein deficiency will affect immune system
And some moderate fitness/activity is a must.
STOP IT. STOP telling people to be healthy. What would happen to big pharma and "weight loss marketing programs" and private healthcare and the junk food and fast food industry if people were to be healthy. DON'T LISTEN TO him people. Continue eating junk food. We need to continue having 100s of millions of people clinically obese and with diabetes and heart disease! This is a human right! Freedom fries baby! Don't take away my PERSONAL FREEDOM to give profit to my maters while destroying my body because they tell me doing this means I have FREEDOM and anybody else who says otherwise is ENEMY! This is not a public health concern, only covid is! Just get the vaccine and nothing else!
Thank you for another informative video. As a vegan, and I have asthma, I take a supplement which on checking has 15mg of zinc in. So I’m happy to know I’m covered 😊
I really appreciate this post today. Thank you.
My regimen that includes Zinc...
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that is a zinc ionophore (moves free zinc from blood stream into the cell, where the zinc inhibits viral RNA replication enzyme) most commonly sourced from green tea extract (GTE). EGCG is another zinc ionophore found in GTE. I take 2-4 750mg GTE caps from Vitacost, and a 50mg zinc + copper, every other day or so... (don’t want to dose too high on zinc continuously long term or copper replenishment will be inhibited)
Every day, I take 5000 iu D, a K2 supplement to go with that, and throughout the day, 3-10 times, I take 1000mg C, along with 2 600mg NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)
I would up it to daily on zinc and GTE if I ever get sick, double to quadruple the D & K2, and take the doses of C & NAC every 1/2 hour til symptoms resolve, If I ever DO get sick... so far so good
Yes. Me too, on most of it. I hear NAC is hard to get right now. Not sure why.
Goodness! Watch that you don't turn into a mineralised fossil prematurely with that lot. LOL.
I take a similar regimen. Instead of C I take black elderberry capsules. It is C but also an antiviral. I also supplement B12 and regular B because I was deficient last year. Numbers were good this year so was told to keep taking.
Those other two drugs, for horses and malaria are zinc ionophore chemicals too. So we are back to effective treatments.
@@hedydd2 - you need to examine the role of K2, if it is a fear of calcification due to excess D intake that makes you say that.
Thank you Dr. John, you are great. We have been following you since the beginning of the pandemic and learned so much from your videos. love , love , love. I think we will get old together. ;)))))
Thank you John for your care and concern, and the many hours you have volunteered.
I have been taking Zinc daily for some time but just realized that the daily dose in capsule form is 25 mg. per capsule. Not sure if the companies that produce Zinc actually provide smaller amts in order for folks to work out just how much is the correct dose and act on it.
Clerks in stores that sell the Zinc capsules know nothing of various doses for men/women ect.
I've been taking zinc ever since the late 1980s when I attended a seminar conducted by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling. He strongly recommended taking zinc and vitamin C as a synergistic pair, especially at the earliest inkling of symptoms of a cold or flu.
Four times since I had covid a year and a half ago, I developed a gravely "scratchy" throat that indicated a sore throat coming on. All four times, I dissolved a rapidmelt *Zicam* (contains zinc) in my mouth before bed. When I woke up I had _no_ sore throat. I may have had ordinary colds coming on, but they also may have been covid reinfections. No one is talking about Zicam's antiviral power, but I'm a believer.
The algorithm also suggested your "Protect Self & Family" vid from last year. Good stuff.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💜 I just got my elderly parents started on zinc
Thank u so much doctor as i suffer from rheumatoid athritist i havent had any advice in on vd or zinc its fantastic to have this good information thanx again x
December 2021. So much for the endemic phase of Covid19.
Came back to this podcast to refresh my knowledge of zinc and its importance to the immune system.
It was endemic back then, atleast in western industrial nations. The media and politicians didnt care though.
Currently have Covid. Symptoms started on Saturday I believe. 24, Male, 170 Lbs, 6’2”, no chronic conditions. Did Regeneron (1 1200 mg infusion) yesterday, feel like I can breathe better now. X-Ray showed possible pneumonia in the lower part of my left lung. Vitamin D since January 2020 (2000 IU’s every day, 4000 for the past 2 months or so, 6000-8000 for the past week), Zinc/Vitamin C and Quercetin occasionally for the past year or so. Only medication currently is Prescription Acid Reflux stuff. Symptoms are/were fatigue, headache, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, knee paint, upper arm pain, low grade fever, slight shortness of breathe when moving around, slight sore throat, congestion, occasional sneezing, lowered sense of taste and smell, and the worst of them all: the cough. Hopefully getting better, starting to feel a little better every day. I am vaccinated as well, did Janssen (J&J) on August 9th. Rapid Test at my university showed negative result on Tuesday, felt it was was wrong and later that day did a Flu Test which showed negative, and a PCR test that showed Positive and got those results on Thursday. Dad is one of the head radiologists at the Cleveland Clinic so he’s been helping me along the way. Been following Dr. Campbell and MedCram since January 2020. Dad and I are in contact with the head of Infectious Diseases, head of Radiology, and my personal doctor for this condition is one of the dept heads for the Regeneron Clinic. They said I should be fine. Regeneron nurse said there are loads of breakthrough cases, every type of vaccinated patient, but of course worst patients are the unvaccinated. She said Regeneron had very good results as well. Anyways, that’s me as of today 😅
Nice to be so connected, medically unlike most mlm of us. Can't help but wonder how expensive the Regeneron treatment is?
Thanks for sharing, wishing you good health!

Information shared, thank you!
Zinc is on my supplement list! I usually take it evenings, a couple of hours after a meal.
Thank you Dr. Campbell for the great, critical, and potentially life-saving information! I was waiting for your comments about the importance of Zinc absorption, role and examples of Zinc Ionophores, how to recognize bio-available Zinc supplements, etc. For example, I know that Zinc has to be properly absorbed in order to obtain the benefits. And I do not know if Zinc is better absorbed from certain foods, and less so from others, and I suspect the same might be true depending on the type of supplements that are used. I appreciate all your expertise, and learn a lot from your excellent videos.
Zinc citrate and gylcinate seem to be good forms. Zinc from meat is very bioavailable.
@@tomasosangmuir754 Thank you very much Tomas. Do you know if all natural sources of zinc are more or less absorbable? I also learned from DR Zelenco that Quercetin + Vit. C is a powerful Zn Ionophore, maybe more powerful than EGCG found in green tea, but both are good. I wish you all good health my friend.
