Whether SARS is caused by a Coronavirus or Paramyxovirus, it is
definitely caused by a virus.
As of this date, the only known ways proven successful in
"preventing" or treating viruses involve boosting the natural
immune response to the specific viral strains involved. To protect
a person who has not yet been exposed, vaccines are given, which
give the immune system an advance warning and allow the immune
defenses to get a quick, vigorous "jump-start" on fighting the
virus once the person is exposed to the real thing.
Once someone has already been exposed, a combination of vaccines
and immune globulin specific to the virus (IG containing high
levels of antibodies to the specific viral strain) can sometimes
help save lives, even in cases of serious viral diseases like
rabies--IF the treatment is given quickly enough!
Antibiotics have no use whatsoever against viruses, and can even be
harmful, because they destroy "friendly" bacteria which help
digestion and put additional stress on the body. And so-called
"antiviral" drugs have not proven successful to any great extent
against any virus, despite costly public relations and marketing
efforts by the pharmaceutical industry.
Here is a article on building your immune system:
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE

Boost your immune system and breathe easy naturally
Decades of scientific research Have shown a way that we can boost
our immunity by changing the quality of the air we breathe to be
electrically charged the way that nature intended it to be, with
small negative air ions of oxygen
Boosting Immunoglobulin
How exactly do negative ions "boost immunity" and do all these
other things? Scientists really aren't sure of all the "how's"
(e.g. how a bumble-bee can fly, for that matter!). However,
research from universities all over the world, including
Australia's La Trobe University, clearly showed that small negative
air ions of oxygen, when breathed in, increase the body's
production of Immunoglobulin A (IgA).
The study from LaTrobe states that "such a finding is suggestive of
an enhancement of the immune response as a result of negative
ionisation...IgA guards against viral and bacterial attachment and
colonization of mucous membrane." In Australian English that means
it helps stop bugs invading your lungs!
Research from Australia's National University (ANU), the Pavlov
Institute in Russia, and St Bartholomew's Hospital in London showed
that improved lung capacity and relief from asthma symptoms are
achieved quite rapidly by exposure to small negative air
ions.
