A Prospective Observational Study is a study in which the actual (i.e., real-world) experiences of the groups being…

Pepto-Bismol for COVID-19

A small case series about the potential use of bismuth salicylate, the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol for COVID-19, was recently peer-reviewed and published in Frontiers in Drug Discovery. Pepto-Bismol is an over-the-counter drug for abdominal complaints like nausea, pain, and diarrhea. The active ingredient is bismuth subsalicylate (BSS). In the study, most patients hospitalized with…

Linoleic acid from intermittent fasting may prevent COVID-19

This article features a study that shows how linoleic acid from intermittent fasting can reduce the chances of getting COVID-19. Background The SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 attaches to human cells using its spike proteins. After attachment, the viruses enter the cells and start replicating. The SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins can be in the open…

How to prepare for the inevitable COVID-19 reinfection

No. I’m not scaremongering. There is a high likelihood that the Omicron variant will reinfect many. According to Scientific American, the BA.4 and BA.5 accounted for about 70 percent of new COVID cases in the U.S. as of July 2. Yahoo Finance interviewed Emergency Medicine Attending Physician Dr. Calvin Sun. He said, BA.5 is the…

Lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and deaths with Intermittent Fasting

Research from the Intermountain Heart Institute in Salt Lake, Utah, showed that subjects who fasted once a month consistently for an average of 40 years had a lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and mortality at 11% compared to 28.8% of non-fasters.[1] Intermittent fasting decreases COVID-19 risks in all ages regardless of race or ethnicity, cardiac…
