-Refuah institute  - My name is Professor Dr. Joshua Ritchie M.D.
I have done new research on prevention of Corona Virus, and I have found that Zinc deficiency makes the severity of the Corona Virus infection much worse. At least one third of the population has zinc deficiency. The metabolic process for resistance to infection is notably and especially dependent on zinc. So, I advise all adults to start taking 30 milligrams of Zinc every day, starting now.
Please spread the word and share this important information. Watch video
