Would you disagree that modern medical care can help improve the effectiveness of your immune system ?
Or even that we have the means to reduce the symptoms ?
Or protect your immune system from additional threats while it's focusing on a virus for instance ?
- nradov 2y agoYes, I would disagree with that. Unless someone has a treatable medical condition such as HIV infection, modern medical care can't improve the effectiveness of your immune system. It's mainly down to lifestyle and age. There's no cure for the common cold. Some OTC remedies can slightly reduce symptom severity but they're nearly useless. Zinc supplements might marginally reduce duration of symptoms for some patients. Frequent hard exercise, sunlight exposure, and limiting body fat content are far more effective interventions for immune system function than anything a physician can give you.
