Covid Guidance Document Updates
Just to let you know I have started updating the Purehealth COVID Guidance document again for you. I've had a good scan through it and much of it still holds true for the advice I gave up until July.

Did I Have COVID-19?
D'you know: I think I may have had COVID last January/February.

Quote of the Day
“Vitamin D could almost be thought of as a designer drug for helping the body to handle viral respiratory infections.....
