Could exposure to environmental chemicals render us more vulnerable to poor outcomes in Covid-19? Integrative rheumatologist Aly Cohen MD, co-author of "Non-Toxic: Living Healthy in a Chemical World," explains how pollutants and food additives may undermine our immune responses.

Is it safe? What’s the basis for claims that it may help coronavirus patients? Are patients with autoimmune conditions especially prone to Covid-19? Do they need to discontinue their immunosuppressive meds? What’s can diet and targeted supplementation do to ameliorate autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus?
