This petition is calling for Governments to take action to support evidence based medicine and share simple common sense information to help protect against COVID-19.

Scientific reports show that people can be effectively protected against COVID-19 by taking simple steps and using evidence based medicine.

In the US The Front Line COVID 19 Critical Care Alliance was formed in 2020 by a group of leading critical care specialists who have published reports showing  that Ivermectin, Vitamin C and Vitamin D can improve the immune system and help protect against COVID. The video Ivermectin ; the Truth is very informative.

In addition there are a growing concerns about  the effectiveness of multiple MRNA vaccines and about adverse effects.

The Surgeon General in Florida has advised against the MRNA vaccine for certain age groups.

In the UK an Award Winning Cardiologist and campaigner Dr Aseem Malhotra has raised concerns about MRNA vaccines and called for evidence based medicine.

High blood sugar, diabetes and obesity weaken the immune system and significantly increase the risk of severe COVID and death YET THIS INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN SHARED.
Simple steps can be taken to improve health and immunity against COVID; Please share this important information.

The UK and US have some of the highest COVID death rates in the world because people in the US and UK don't have a functioning immune system and we have some of the highest rates of diabetes and obesity.

There is currently no immediate cure for COVID19 and prevention is better than cure. Any vaccine is only effective if people have a functioning immune system. There are simple common sense steps which can be taken and are proven by scientific research to help improve the immune system which will reduce the effects of COVID19 if someone is infected 
These steps could make the difference between being asymptomatic or not, or going to hospital or not, or needing a ventilator or not, or living or not.

The article ' Healthy diet with nutritional supplements support body in fight against COVID19 'details scientific reports which confirm that nutrition and probiotics used to restore the Gut Biome can improve the immune system and help to protect against COVID19.

The BNF has published advice about Diet and Nutrition to help improve the immune system and protect against COVID.

The Government should take immediate and urgent action to make people aware of this.

A  report  about a study of 11.000 COVID patients showed that those with the highest blood sugar had a 50%higher chance of dying.

In  May 2020 the Chinese University Hong Kong published A Research paper showing a significant reduction in severe symptoms in COVID patients by restoring the gut biome 

 At the end of May 2020  a UK COVID Nutritional Intervention Study was announced 

In June 2020 Dr Michael Mosley published a Guide about the Gut Biome and COVID 

 In July 2020 a University in Rome published a Research Paper following a study to restore the Gut Biome using a probiotic which showed an 8 fold reduction in severe symptoms 

In September 2020 further research has been published confirming the link between the Gut Biome and COVID 19  

Article published about Gut Lung Microbiota axis and the Gut Lung connection

 In September Professor Robert Thomas (who is conducting the COVID Nutritional Intervention study) published a  guide to help Cancer patients Many cancer patients treatment has been stopped during COVID yet the Government has taken no action to help these patients.

One statistic shows that 72% of serious cases admitted to ICU were either overweight or obese. Nutrition and Diet are a significant factor in the severity of COVID19 symptoms.

It is very distressing that there are tens of thousands of people dying worldwide and simple common sense therapies are being ignored.
There is Scientific Research proving that simple steps can be taken to help reduce the risk from COVID19 infection and could reduce the load on healthcare systems and save lives, yet this has not yet been shared by the World Health Organisation, Public Health Agencies and Governments worldwide

Mind- Mental state and stress significantly impact the gut biome and immune system. Meditation, mindfulness and relaxation can help to reduce stress
Exercise- helps to improve the gut biome and immunity, it releases endorphins which help to improve mental state and improves circulation
Nutrition- is essential for the immune system. Diet does not always meet nutritional needs especially in those who are elderly or when fighting illness and infection.Vitamin C and D and Probiotics are proven to help
Diet- is important for the gut biome and immune system. Simple changes can restore the gut biome and immune system in 24 hours.

All Health Practitioner's take the Hippocratic oath but some have forgotten his wise words.
'Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.'
'All disease starts in the gut.'
'Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food.'
'Just as food causes chronic disease, it can be the most powerful cure'
'If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.'
'Each of the substances of a man's diet acts upon his body and changes it in some way and upon these changes his whole life depends.'
'The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.'
'If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him.'
'The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it'
'The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.'
Hippocrates

Scientists in China shared their research in February including Management of Corona Virus disease-19 (COVID-19): The Zhejiang Experience] and Potential Interventions for Novel Coronavirus in China: A Systemic Review  in the hope that the information would be used to save lives.

In the UK Dr Aseem Malhotra has campaigned to promote healthy nutrition for many years. He has made the point that it is important for everyone including health professionals to maintain a healthy diet at this critical time.
His article Covid 19 and the elephant in the room has some important information  as to how diet and nutrition play a part in the current crisis.
OBESITY, THE REAL KILLER BEHIND COVID
Data from the first 2204 patients admitted to 286 NHS ICU’s with COVID- 19 reveal that 72.7% of them were overweight or obese. (7) 

A research article reports  The Perfect Storm: Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic Meets Overfat Pandemic

In the US Dr Joseph Mercola  published research showing that Vitamin C and D can be used to help treat respiratory disease. He has now been proven right with Vitamins C and D Finally Adopted as Coronavirus Treatment

Scientists have now published further rersearch  confirming that the role of Vitamin D in coronavirus infections seems to be more important by the day.

The BMJ has published COVID-19: is there a role for immunonutrition, particularly in the over 65s? by Dr Emma Derbyshire detailing the importance of nutrition, in particular for the elderly.

This article  Nutritionist reveals how looking after your GUT is the best way to boost your immune system during coronavirus outbreak  is by Kate Llewellyn-Waters and has information to help people reduce the risk from infection.

There are nutritional and dietary supplements like probiotics which can help to restore the gut biome. Some have been clinically proven to reach the gut and improve the biome

There are papers on Diet and Immune Function and Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections

This information has been acknowledged by senior members  of the World Health Organisation, PHE, The Welcome Trust and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies. They have previously reported the importance of Mind, Exercise, Nutrition and Diet, but have not published the same information during the current global health crisis.
There is no vaccine or other pharmaceutical treatment currently available for COVID19.
Surely simple common sense therapies should be used to reduce the risks from infection?
Ask the WHO, Health agencies and Governments to share this information urgently to reduce the impact on healthcare systems and to save lives.
