From Personal Experience
I'm 86 and in the last year I have fallen twice. Fortunately, I didn't break anything. But being put back on my feet by a passerby is not the greatest thing in the world. I decided that I was not going to fall again unless I was hit by a truck. So I started off slowly - only one or two movements of each form of non-stress exercise and building each day until I got to the point that I could run (that's a bit of an exaggeration) up the stairs, and I'm so stable on my feet that falling is a thing of the past. This can be done in a relatively short period of time - weeks not months, and changes are noticable within days.

NOW THE POST
Please stop and do the following in any way that you can to increase your own immunity (no matter how healthy or unhealthy you are) to fight Covid-19 and its variants, or any new pathogenic virus that comes along, plus possibly save yourself from the effects of the vaccines.

The most important element in your health against pathogens
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE FORCE WHICH SUSTAINS ALL LIFE ON EARTH CAN HELP YOU STAY HEALTHIER IN JUST 10 MINUTES A DAY - THE SUN - just never stare directly at it.
If there is even a sliver of sunshine at 1 hour before or after high noon where you are (not through glass), sit in it for 10 minutes. If you are new to this, start with 2-3 minutes and add to it each day. If you only have north-south windows and no balcony with sun exposure, or no easy rooftop access, go outside and get some part of you exposed to the sun. If right now it is not the time or there is no sun, take vitamin D3 (preferably with K2 which helps in the modulation of calcium - but if you don't have K2 supplement, eat some of the foods listed in the video below.

"Full-fat cheeses, eggs and beef liver might not be the types of foods that come to mind when you think about eating a heart-healthy diet. But, you’d probably be surprised to know that in recent years, one of the most researched nutrients in the field of cardiovascular health has been vitamin K2, found in these very foods. - What are the benefits of vitamin K2? While vitamin K1 has the important role of preventing blood clots and bleeding disorders, K2 works differently." "Consuming raw, fermented cheeses and other full-fat dairy products is the best way to get adequate amounts. Eggs, liver and dark meats are other good sources."

GLUTATHIONE (gluta thione)
10 Natural Ways to Increase Your Glutathione Levels Kaitlyn Berkheiser, Healthline.com, Apr 25 2018
quoted
"Glutathione is one of the body's most important and potent antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that reduce oxidative stress by combating free radicals in the body.

While most antioxidants are found in the foods you eat, glutathione is produced by your body. It is primarily made up of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine and cysteine (1Trusted Source).

There are a number of reasons why your body's glutathione level may become depleted, including poor diet, chronic disease, infection and constant stress.

Glutathione is also known to decrease with age (1Trusted Source).

Maintaining adequate levels of this antioxidant is incredibly important. Below are 10 of the best ways to increase your glutathione levels naturally. 1. Consume Sulfur-Rich Foods."

Glutathione: Top 9 Foods & Supplements to Boost Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DNM, CN, Aug 31 2018
"over 139,000 peer-reviewed scientific articles have addressed this powerhouse molecule, and experts are now recognizing that an alarming rate of people are deficient because of:
Pre-mature aging
Infections
Chronic stress
Injuries
Environmental toxins
So-called “health foods”
Genetically modified foods
Artificial sweeteners
Overuse of antibiotics
And radiation therapy that is all too easily given to cancer patients today."

"Since the mid-1990s, it has been a well-established fact that GSH concentrations take a nosedive in the liver and lungs when sulphur amino acid intake is inadequate. This is one of the many reasons I recommend sulfur-rich, cancer-fighting cruciferous vegetables as a critical part of any natural health regimen. These include: "
Arugula
Bok choy
Broccoli
Brussel sprouts
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Collard greens
Kale
Mustard greens
Radish

Endogenous Deficiency of Glutathione as the Most Likely Cause of Serious Manifestations and Death in COVID-19 Patients Alexey Polonikov, PMID: 32463221 PMCID: PMC7263077 DOI: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.0c00288, ACS Infect Dis 2020 Jul 10;6(7):1558-1562. doi: 10.1021/acsinfecdis.0c00288. Epub 2020 May 28.
quoted
"Higher rates of serious illness and death from coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection among older people and those who have comorbidities suggest that age- and disease-related biological processes make such individuals more sensitive to environmental stress factors including infectious agents like coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Specifically, impaired redox homeostasis and associated oxidative stress appear to be important biological processes that may account for increased individual susceptibility to diverse environmental insults. The aim of this Viewpoint is to justify (1) the crucial roles of glutathione in determining individual responsiveness to COVID-19 infection and disease pathogenesis and (2) the feasibility of using glutathione as a means for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 illness. The hypothesis that glutathione deficiency is the most plausible explanation for serious manifestation and death in COVID-19 patients was proposed on the basis of an exhaustive literature analysis and observations. The hypothesis unravels the mysteries of epidemiological data on the risk factors determining serious manifestations of COVID-19 infection and the high risk of death and opens real opportunities for effective treatment and prevention of the disease."

FRANKINCENSE
8 Frankincense Essential Oil Uses and Benefits for Healing Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DNM, CN, June 30, 2018

quoted
"Natural Cold or Flu Medicine
Next time you have a respiratory infection from a cold or flu, use frankincense essential oil to help provide relief from coughing. It can help eliminate phlegm in the lungs. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory in the nasal passages, making breathing easier, even for those with allergies or asthma. Add a few drops to a cloth and inhale for the respiratory benefits or use an oil diffuser."

"2. Helps Boost Immune System Function and Prevents Illness
Studies have demonstrated that frankincense benefits extend to immune-enhancing abilities that may help destroy dangerous bacteria, viruses and even cancers. Researchers at Mansoura University in Egypt conducted a lab study and found that frankincense oil exhibits strong immunostimulant activity.
- It can be used to prevent germs from forming on the skin, mouth or in your home. This is the reason many people choose to use frankincense to naturally relieve oral health problems; the antiseptic qualities of this oil may help prevent gingivitis, bad breath, cavities, toothaches, mouth sores and other infections from occurring. "
"4. Astringent and Can Kill Harmful Germs and Bacteria
- Frankincense is an antiseptic and disinfectant agent that has antimicrobial effects. It has the ability to eliminate cold and flu germs from the home and the body naturally, and it can be used in place of chemical household cleaners.
- A lab study published in Letters in Applied Microbiology found that the combination of frankincense oil and myrrh oil is particularly effective when used against pathogens. These two oils, which have been used in combination since 1500 BC, have synergistic and additive properties when exposed to microorganisms like Cryptococcus neoformans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa."
"10. Helps Decrease Inflammation and Pain
Frankincense can inhibit the production of key inflammatory molecules associated with conditions like arthritis, asthma, painful bowel disorders like IBS and many more conditions.
- It can be useful in helping prevent the breakdown of the cartilage tissue and has been shown to significantly reduce levels of dangerous and painful inflammation, making it a natural treatment option for pain-related conditions that affect the muscles, joints and tendons."

L-GLUTAMINE AS PREVENTATIVE AND IN HOSPITAL SUPPORTIVE
The differences between L-Gluta-mine, which is an amino acid and Gluta-thione, an antioxidant, are many.
L-Glutamine may reduce the severity of Covid-19 in hospital patients
quoted
"Glutamine, a conditionally essential amino acid, is the most abundant amino acid, containing 60% of the total free amino acids in the body - with the main synthesis sources circulating in plasma being skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and lungs. Glutamine is found in dairy foods, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, and all forms of whey protein powder - blend, isolate, and hydrolysate.

Glutamine performs most of the transport of nitrogen from the skeletal muscle to the visceral (abdominal) tissues, and, is used as a glucose-efficient primary fuel for many rapidly dividing cells, including enterocytes, colonocytes, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts, comment the researchers.

As for a direct immune modulation effect, glutamine is a precursor to the powerful, endogenous liver antioxidant glutathione. "It is one of the most researched amino acids on multiple aspects of medical nutritional care, including conditions, such as gastrointestinal diseases, oncology, burn injury, HIV/AIDS, and chronic wound management," as noted in the Biruni research."

Is Niacin a Missing Piece of the COVID Puzzle? Dr. Joseph Mercola Oct 27 2021
what are the benefits of niacin?
quote
"B vitamins can influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability- - Niacin appears particularly important. According to one published paper, there appears to be a causative link between low niacin status and SARS-CoV-2 infection
- SARS-CoV-2’s ability to invade your body is dependent on calcium signaling, which in turn is dependent on the presence of NAADP, which is formed from niacin. NAADP-dependent calcium signaling is responsible both for the inhibition of viral entry into cells and driving the virus out of already infected cells"

quoted
"A ground breaking pre-print from France in mid-2020 then examined if nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) given to smokers split into two groups (those with and without major smoking related disease) would have an effect on hospitalization with COVID-19[4]. In people without comorbidities from smoking related diseases, nicotine replacement therapy was associated with a decreased risk of hospitalization. The ratio of NRT versus no NRT for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 was 151:496 while the ratio of death or intubation was 13:73. However, these trends did not carry over for patients having known smoking-related diseases."
