Summary
A healthy, well-functioning thymus gland is necessary to keep you safe from infections and ward off cancer. It also sets the pace of aging. When youβre young, the thymus flourishes. As you grow older, maintaining a competent thymus and preventing glandular shrinking protects against cancer and viral infections, like influenza and coronaviruses. Though zinc is the cornerstone nutrient for a competent thymus, additional nutrients, oral and injectable organ extracts, peptides, and hormones make for a comprehensive plan to regenerate the thymus gland. Governments and researchers spend so much time and money on methods to destroy viruses, including the new coronavirus, but of most of these efforts fail. Vaccination makes more immunological sense, but keeping our own immunity effective is a better solution. Restoring immune homeostasis is an overlooked key to prolonging health during aging.
I posted this in the health section but thought to bring it here especially in these times of the many viruses.
