The COVID-19 virus attacks protective airway cells and how mouthwashes can stop it This article talks about a preprint study that came out yesterday at medRxiv. The first is from Yale University shows how the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 infects the ciliated cells of the respiratory tract. Greaney and colleagues from Yale found that…
Moderna’s study shows the ineffectiveness of their shots against the Omicron and why they recommend a booster Moderna scientists published a study Serum Neutralizing Activity of mRNA-1273 Against the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) Variant: A Preliminary Report that came out yesterday as a preprint in medRxiv. They took blood samples from participants in their phase 2…
Viral respiratory infections start at the nose. The nasal cavity lining is rich in ACE2 receptors, where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the cause of COVID-19, can attach to enter the cells and begin viral replication. The article, Nasal rinse and deep gargle stop viral respiratory infections in their tracts, talks about using saline solutions, diluted povidone-iodine,…
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from harmful molecules and infections. COVID-19 and the Long COVID syndrome have neurologic and psychiatric effects. This article presents three studies that show evidence that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 can cross the BBB and wreak havoc by itself. Endothelial cells line the inside of the BBB, and…
A study in Italy compared two groups of people. Both groups have recovered from COVID-19. One group (n=21) was vaccinated with two doses of the Pfizer-Biontech COVID vaccine, and the other group (n=19) did not. Backgrounder: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has several proteins, including the spike and nucleocapsid protein (NCP). After a COVID-19 infection, antibodies (IgG)…
I have been taking zinc tablets since my days in the emergency room. In all 18 years, I never took a sick day off despite people accidentally coughing in my face when I checked their throats. It is particularly valuable during winter when other upper respiratory viruses are in season. Zinc is part of the…
Recently, I gave a ride to a family member from a train terminal. She just traveled internationally. Airline passengers are required to be tested by PCR 24 hours before boarding.

The table below is from c19bromhexine.com and presents five studies using bromhexine for…
The media and health agencies have conditioned the population that variants are dangerous. The discovery of the Delta and omicron variant has led governments to push for more vaccinations, whether first, second dose, booster, or further boosters. They also use it as an excuse to vaccinate children who don’t need it. The paper, Intra-host variation and…
A study published in the British Medical Journal shows increased covid-19 infection 90 days after the second injection of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. Elapsed time since BNT162b2 vaccine and risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection: test negative design study Results: 83 057 adults received an RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 during the study period and 9.6% had a…
Nigella Sativa (NS), also known as Black Seed or Black Cumin, has been established to have antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. The active ingredient in Nigella Sativa is thymoquinone (TQ). [1] Studies have shown that NS is effective for early treatment of COVID-19, decreases hospitalization, and lowers mortality. The website c19ns.com makes a meta-analysis…
The FrontLine Critical Care Alliance has protocols for the Prevention and Early Treatment of COVID-19. Povidone-iodine or PI is included in both protocols as a mouthwash and nasal drops.
