Saturday Feb 27, 2021
Saturday Feb 27, 2021
In honor of Black History Month, this week's show is about how the Black community was hit harder by COVID-19 than any other population group. In this episode, you'll find out:
—How the new Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has several advantages over the other brands, including the lack of allergic responses seen in other vaccine brands.
—When herd immunity for COVID-19 is expected to be reached and restrictions (like lockdowns) reduced.
—Why they currently expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an annual shot, similar to the flu. And which masks are "worse than not wearing a mask at all".
—How the CDC reports we have lost, on average, a year of life expectancy for the first time since World War II. But the Black community lost almost three times as much life expectancy during the pandemic.
—The underlying health risks in the Black community (such as Hypertension, Obesity, Type II Diabetes) and how these issues contributed to the higher adverse reactions to COVID-19.
—How the natural African diet is higher in Arginine, which is a supplement Dr. Prather finds to be especially helpful in combating Kidney Disease and Hypertension for Black patients.
—Why Dr. Prather says Vitamin D needs to be tested more for patients with darker skin, which has been a key factor in how people have reacted to COVID-19.
—The damaging effects of Low Vitamin D on Cardiovascular Health, Cancer, Autoimmune Disease, and Asthma.
—The importance of increased use of Structure-Function Health Care to see improvements in the health of the Black population.
