(9,897 posts)I thought Z-pack was the Azithromycin antibiotic that was taken in high doses to start and tapered off of as an attempt to treat bacterial infections - which WAS being touted by some imbeciles for the COVID-19 VIRUS too...
I know Zinc was touted as a 'curative' treatment by some and I think I have the Calcium wrong - I believe it was Vitamin C that people were taking in super high doses too...
Either way, pick a quackery recipe and they have promoted it loudly over all ration things like masks, distancing and vaccination...it really is pathetic and history will scratch its head in amazement that so many were so riled up to do stupid things to avoid admitting that they needed to in the first place.

Dr. Fauci: 3 everyday things you can do to help boost your immune system
Published Fri, Sep 18 202012:54 PM EDT
Excerpts:
Fauci previously said that for those who have vitamin D deficiency, taking supplements can reduce susceptibility to infection (and Fauci himself takes vitamin D) and that vitamin C is good antioxidant. But Fauci has stressed that supplements are not a silver bullet or a replacement for things like social distancing or wearing a mask.
He also recommends the following to keep your immune system up:
Sleep
Get a reasonable amount of sleep, Fauci told Business Insider.
Eat well
Get a good diet, Fauci told BI.
While one specific food cant boost your immune system, research has shown that nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, iron and protein can help immune cells function.
Reduce stress

A little is a good thing.
A ton is not so much...
