 +Serum cholesterol is significantly lower among Chinese patients with Covid-19 (1). The reason may be that low cholesterol predisposes to infectious diseases, because LDL partake in the immune system by adhering to and inactivating almost all types of microorganisms and their toxic products. This is a little-known fact but it has been documented in many ways by more than a dozen research groups [[https://www.bmj.com/content/368/bmj.m1182/rr-10|Chinese patients with Covid-19]]

   * **salt avoidance** – not recommended given that the body seems to naturally regulate sodium levels independently. Salt is also critical for kidney health. Sodium is used by the kidneys to excrete potassium.

   * **nutritional supplements** - not recommended. Unless doctor has scientifically established that a particular patient has a digestive problem with absorbing a particular nutrient normally obtained from food, those widely advertised 'nutritional' supplements are a complete waste of money and only improve the revenue of manufacturing companies.

- However, experiments with boron supplementation or deprivation show that boron is involved in calcium and bone metabolism, and its effects are more marked when other nutrients (cholecalciferol, magnesium) are deficient. Boron supplementation increases the serum concentration of 17 beta-estradiol and testosterone but boron excess has toxic effects on reproductive function. Boron may be involved in cerebral function via its effects on the transport across membranes. It affects the synthesis of the extracellular matrix and is beneficial in wound healing.

-Usual dietary boron consumption in humans is 1-2 mg/day for adults.

- Boronated compounds have been shown to be potent anti-osteoporotic, anti-inflammatory, hypolipemic, anti-coagulant and anti-neoplastic agents both in vitro and in vivo in animals.(({{pubmed>long:9638606}}))
