Let us say he is already taking chemotherapy and has tested COVD Positive, focus on COVID Treatment only a and not on cancer patient. If it is a detected cancer patient and he or she is a COVID positive patient, the focus of treatment is only a COVID treatment. Next, 3 to 4 weeks I will focus on treating that because the COVID positive patient is not only dangerous to himself for COVID positive, he can spread to ll the hospital staff, to his family member who can come to contact with them. So we have to protect the patient and treat the patient also what we do is we register them for COVID treatment and they normally are not treated in many of the routine places that we have separate COVID places and we have a separate COVID places where we treat them and also I advice if anyone is COVID positive, improve your immune system. How does the immune system improve? Two things one is the neurological system or the nervous system, that is the brain and nervous system, that takes care of the immunity of the body because the now to fight the body. The other immune system, comes from the gut system that is a the intestines. So it is very important to have an antioxidant nutrition that is antioxidant diet. Next thing is to keep calm, that is meditation. I know everybody is going through financial stress, health stress, and if you are positive, tell your relatives too to go through an antioxidant diet. So keeping the gut good and keeping the nervous system good, you can prevent spread of infection and prevent the disease from going into very bad condition. So this is how we focus on treating COVID patients if they are positive even if they have a cancer.
