建議的預防SARS的方法

The fact of the mysterious pneumonia has been widely spread in HK
drives me to do a literature review on the suspected cause（i.e. coronavirus）
of the SARS （Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ）。 As a biomedical
researcher，let me show you my concern and make the following suggestions.

神秘的非典型性肺炎正在香港廣泛傳播，於是我對引起SARS（嚴重呼吸綜合
征）的病因（例如冠狀病毒）作了一下研究。現在讓我從生物醫學研究者的角度
給您一些建議。


The basic mechanism of viral attack is that the viruses replicate
themself using the host's （in this case is "our" ） DNA genetic replication
system. By doing this ， our body couldn't function well due to the massive
viral replication. Supposingly ， the immune cells in our body will fight off
the infected viruses quickly. However ， the viruses are so smart that they
could be able to produce some chemical substances to cause our immune cells
to die. Besides ， this coronavirus is a new kind of virus which belongs to
a mutated strain and our body cannot recognize it. No antibiotics have been
proved to be 100% effective in treating viral infection so far. The only
effective way to get rid of it is by ourselves. It likes a prolonged battle
between the viruses and our immune response. In fact， viruses couldn't kill
all the immune cells in a health individual. The stronger the immune function
you have， the less the viral injury you get. Therefore ， the degree of
sickness after infection and the rate of recovery mainly depends on how
strong your immune function is.

濾過性病毒能夠引起疾病的原因是，病毒能夠通過使用病人身體中的DNA 基
因複製系統來複製自己。如果病毒大量複製自己，則我們的身體就不能正常工作
了。於是，我們身體當中的免疫細胞就會很快的殺掉這些感染病毒。然而，這些
病毒非常聰明，他們能夠産生某種化學物質而導致我們的免疫細胞死亡。除此以
外，冠狀病毒是一種新型的變異病毒，它不能被我們的身體識別。這樣，在我們
的免疫系統和病毒之間就會展開一場長時間的鬥爭。實際上，病毒並不能殺死一
個健康人身體中的所有免疫細胞。人身體的免疫功能越強，此人受病毒侵害的幾
率就越小。所以，在感染病毒後的病情嚴重情況和康復的幾率基本上看此人的免
疫功能有多強。


You cannot avoid the infection unless you avoid from those infected
individuals/area. But ， you can try your best to boost up your immune
function by several regimes. Make sure you are "extremely healthy" at
least during this critical period. Stronger immune function could keep
the viral damage minimal even you were so unluckily being infected.
Also， stronger immune function delays the onset of any detrimental effects
from the viral infection. Scientists are now working on tracking the treatment
and so make sure you are still surviving until an effective treatment
occurs. The following suggestions aim to strengthen your immune function
within a short period of time.

你無法避免被感染，除非你不去接觸被感染者和被感染地區。但是，你可以
盡你所能調動你的免疫系統，確保你處於“非常健康”的狀態，至少在這段非常
時期。如果你的免疫系統夠強，就算你非常不幸的被感染上病毒，也會將病毒的
侵害降到最低限度。科學家們現在正在研究如何治療此種肺炎，所以一定要保證
你能夠活到有效治療方法研究出來之前。下面是一些在短時期內能夠增強你的免
疫功能的方法：


1 ）Antioxidant nutraceuticals ： Antioxidants are chemicals found
in foods which exert a great value in strengthening our immune system.
Boost up your immune function by taking a cocktail of antioxidant supplements.

抗氧化劑：抗氧化劑是一種存在於食品中的能夠很好增強我們免疫系統的化
學物質。你可以靠服用一些抗氧化劑保健品來增強你的免疫功能：


—— Vitamin E 1000 IU per day. Alpha-tocopherol is the biological
active form of vitamin E. There are two forms of it ： d-tocopherol and
dl-tocopherol. d- is the natural form and dl- is the synthetic form. Try
to get the d- form because it is absorbed faster in our body. ——Vitamin
C （ascorbic acid ） 1000 milligram （mg） daily. Instead of taking supplement，
you can take 2 pieces of citrus fruits（e.g. orange ）a day to get the
vitamin C - Beta-carotene， not more than 10000 IU daily - Selenium，
200 microgram daily - Zinc ， not more than 500 milligram mg） daily -
Lipoic acid， 50 mg daily - Glutathione， 50 mg daily No any adverse
effects have been reported from the above suggested supplementation dose.

——每天服用維他命E 1000 IU（醫學國際單位，internatoinal units ）。

Alph- 維生素E 是一種生物活性維他命E.它有兩種形式：d-維生素E 和dl-
維生素E.d-維生素E 是自然形式，dl- 維生素E 是合成形式。最好服用d-維他命
E ，因爲它可以更快的被我們的身體所吸收。

——每天1000毫克維他命C （抗壞血酸維生素C ）。你也可以靠每天食用兩
個柑桔類水果（例如桔子）來獲取維他命C.——Beta胡羅蔔素，每天服用不超過
10000IU ——硒，每天200 微克——鋅，每天不超過500 毫克——硫辛酸，每天
50毫克——谷胱甘肽，每天50毫克沒有任何人反映服用以上物質有副作用。


2 ）- Let green tea to be your daily beverage because it contains tremendous
amount of antioxidant flavonoid ， catechins. - Eat more tomatoes ， broccoli
or fruits and vegetables in red and dark green color. They carry a huge amount
of antioxidant carotenoids，lycopene and carotene.

——每天喝綠茶，因爲綠茶中含有大量抗氧化劑類黃酮和茶酸。

——多吃番茄，椰菜，和其他紅色和深色的水果。



3 ） No intense physical activities during this critical period ！

It has been shown that intense exercise will suppress your immune
function（related to the upper respiratory infection） even several days
following your workout. Instead of intense exercise ， light-to-moderate
workout helps if you have been training regularly.

在這段非常時期不要做劇烈運動！

因爲劇烈運動會壓抑你的免疫系統功能（與你的上呼吸感染有關的免疫系統
功能），並且此壓抑情況會持續好幾天。如果你以養成定期鍛煉的習慣，那麽在
這段時間你可以做一些輕度或中度運動。


4 ） Make sure you get enough carbohydrate foods（e.g. rice ， food
concentrated in starch…… etc） because carbohydrate is the primary food
for immune cells . Do some Gatorade or Pocari if needed since they are
both good sources of carbohydrate.

確保你食用足夠的碳水化合物食物（例如，大米及其它富含澱粉的食物），
因爲碳水化合物是免疫細胞最重要的食物。喝一些Gatorade（一種飲料）或Pocari
（一種飲料），因爲他們都是富含碳水化合物的飲料。


5 ） Make sure you get enough sleep and don't make yourself so stressful！
Anxiety ， depression ， and tried will influence your body's stress
hormones（e.g. catecholamine and glucocorticoids） and so suppress your
immune status.

每天保證充足睡眠，不要使自己處於緊張和壓力之下。焦慮、緊張都會影響
身體的壓力荷爾蒙（例如，兒茶酚安和糖皮質激素）從而壓抑身體免疫功能。



6 ） Mouth-mask helps despite it is not 100% effective. But it can
still decrease the chance from infection.

口罩雖然不能100%預防感染，但是能夠起到一定的作用，仍然可以減少被感
染幾率。


All the above information are supported by peer-reviewed biomedical
literatures ， that means they are credible and reliable！ God bless and
I really hope that none of you will get infected and I will pray for all
of you in every moment！


以上所有資訊均有生物醫學理論支援，這些建議都是可信和十分可靠的。

上帝保佑。我真心希望你們中沒有一個人會被感染。我會時刻爲你們大家祈
禱平安！


Good luck and take extremely care.

祝你們好運，千萬保重。
