The COVID Advisor

Quercetin, Hydroxychloroquine, green tea extract, Zinc and black seed oil are among the handful of COVID-19 treatments that are being studied as candidates that might influence the outcome in the prevention and management of COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Quercetin and EGCG (EpiGalloCatechin Gallate) are all zinc ionophores. Meaning they all transport zinc into the cells.  It is known that zinc will slow down the replication of coronavirus through inhibition of enzyme RNA dependent RNA polymerase ( PubMed 2010 ). The COVID-19 virus is a single stranded  RNA (RiboNucleicAcid) virus  and requires the  RNA polymerase  to replicate.  Other single stranded RNA viruses include Flu virus, RSV and dengue. They may use similar pathways for replication i.e. RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RDRP) to make copies of their genome. We will dive deeper into the science for each of the above treatment and supplement. 1. Quercetin Quercetin  was initially found  to provide broad-spectrum protect

A cup of tea could be a powerful weapon in the fight against COVID-19, according to a new study that found that several common varieties can effectively inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva. The research offers a glimmer of hope that something as simple as your morning brew could help curb the spread of the pandemic virus. Popular Teas Found to Drastically Reduce SARS-CoV-2 Levels in Just Seconds Researchers studied 24 commercially available teas and identified five that significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2 levels in saliva. These were raspberry zinger, eucalyptus mint, mint medley, green tea, and black tea. The team prepared a drinkable tea infusion using one tea bag steeped in a cup of water for 10 minutes, without any additions such as milk or sugar. They then tested each tea either as a beverage or as a gargle. The findings, published in Food and Environmental Virology , showed that all five tea varieties reduced the amount of the virus by at least 96 percent within just 10 second

About 25% of Americans fought to stay healthy and unvaccinated from mRNA products and now have been greatly concerned about shedding from vaccinated close contacts. Dr. Helene Banoun from Marseilles, France, joins us after the monologue, where I introduce a solution for the shedding and persistence of Spike protein in the body. She is a former French Institute of Health and Medical Research, INSERM researcher who has been tremendously productive as an academic scholar on SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic, and the genetic COVID-19 vaccines. Please listen carefully and be patient with her French accent. Her work is meticulous, and her conclusions are very important.

It’s been nearly three months since the U.S. government announced an outbreak of the bird flu virus on dairy farms. The World Health Organization considers the virus a public health concern because of its potential to cause a pandemic, yet the U.S. has tested only about 45 people across the country. “We’re flying blind,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health. With so few tests run, she said, it’s impossible to know how many farmworkers have been infected, or how serious the disease is. A lack of testing means the country might not notice if the virus begins to spread between people — the gateway to another pandemic. “We’d like to be doing more testing. There’s no doubt about that,” said Nirav Shah, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC’s bird flu test is the only one the Food and Drug Administration  has authorized for use  right now. Shah said the agency has distributed these
