The Weston A. Price foundation claims by consuming nutrient dense foods your immune system will become strong enough to protect you against the coronavirus. Cod liver oil is their number one recommendation. The blog entry includes a link to an article in the Washington Post which they call "nonsense"; the article argues you cannot "boost" your immune system.
I think most of this blog entry is an extremist group's ramblings. There are two points I'd specifically like to mention:
The first is "Naturally a vaccine is in the works, and it will be fast tracked with little safety testing." This is something I was thinking before reading the post. Given the pressure from governments and the general population for a vaccine as soon as possible; I also suspect the eventual vaccine might not be safe.
In the video, Sally claims her late husband who grew up in the UK took cod liver oil every day. His Sunday school even provided it to him. She claims that it would boost him immune system to the point where the effects of diseases like measles were reduced to a minor flu. I really want to know what a certain older UK based member here has to say about this: @FAST6191.
If you want to improve your chances of surviving the disease, look after your general health. Get enough sleep, meditate for 20 minutes twice per day, avoid extreme emotions and eat sensibly. Don't consume too much or too little of anything. You should avoid being deficient in any nutrient, but if you megadose on vitamins you will shit them out and flush them down the toilet.
Claiming that you can protect yourself from the coronavirus by boosting your immune system is dangerous advice. People who believe this article and take their advice will get a boost from the placebo effect; they will also feel a false sense of security and fail to take rational precautions against the disease and spread it to others.
