“That which does not kill us makes us stronger”. Friedrich Nietzsche (1)Thanks for reading Voice for Science and Solidarity by Geert Vanden Bossche! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Geert Vanden Bossche (GVB) states that the innate immune system is equipped with potent humoral and cellular effectors including, innate antibodies and natural killer (NK) cells, that can abrogate (prevent) viral infection, and that these innate cells are a crucial component of the humoral (antibody-mediated) immune system (2). If you have previously contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19/C-19), the positive news is that we now know that innate immunity can be ‘imprinted’ by past experiences. These ‘trained’ innate immune cells can create a ‘memory’ of a pathogen to allow a more coordinated immune response to a second challenge. Natural medicines can train your innate immunity to stop
Hi Mel a few people have asked about this. As a naturopath I advocate natural ACE inhibitors. I match the pharmacological actions of drugs using natural alternatives. My article is promoting natural ACE inhibitors. From my understanding however, pharmacological ACE Inhibitors are linked to a lower risk of severe COVID-19 in patients. However, once again as a naturopath, I address the causes of disease. As obesity is the major risk factor for severe C-19 disease and obesity and insulin resistance account for up to 78 % of cases of primary hypertension I prescribe weight loss and/or other associated treatment strategies to reduce hypertension
I have a biowater that has quercetin, luteolin, apigenin and other enhanced flavonoids present. It can increase blood oxygen levels within minutes of consuming. Working to bring it to market.
Thank you for writing this article. Please consider submitting it to https://PDMJ.org, a physician peer review, all volunteer medical journal without commercial affiliations.
I am also involved with a project for a new immunology textbook, which would benefit from an article like this.
Thank you so much for this incredibly researched, sourced, and referenced article. Articles and scientific papers such as this, are the reason Homo sapiens has progressed past divination as diagnosis, and magic as cure, of disease in Western medicine. It is a sterling example of evidence-logic-based conclusions, vs. premodern unquestioned acceptance of authority, i.e. the church or the CDC.

Hi there I'm in Japan. Yes I can confirm the effects you referred to. A few oriental medicine formulas are used to prevent and treat the cvd symptoms, like Ephedra plant based cold medicine and Juzentaohoto you mention and Hochu-Ekkito (interferon related) as prophylactic means. All available over the counter.
I'm a vegetarian and rely heavily on plant based ingredients like Natto. And I'm jab free and so far infection symptom free (I'm pretty sure I have been exposed to the virus on a numerous occasions.)
Great post, i looked into how the chinese were able to get out of the surge and we didn't, if you go back to the beginning of the outbreak the Chinese were distributing a tcm response that was published.
Western media heavily criticized for not having any evidence. However i think the biggest evidence would be the fact they celebrated Chinese new year and we were told no Christmas and new year celebrations.
I started looking into natural immune modulators after reading an article that stated that Big Pharma was still working on immune system modulators to fight Cytokine Storms - that is producing more toxins for you.
I am the old school guy who still believes in Hippocrates - "Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food.".
My personal concoctions seem to have a solid scientific basis if I read this article correctly.
BTW - They work like miracles!
Had I published them, they would have been attacked as some woodoo horse dewormer concoctions (remember C-19 Ivermectin attacks in the US?)
glycyrrhizin was the most active in inhibiting replication of the SARS-associated virus. Our findings suggest that glycyrrhizin should be assessed for treatment of SARS.

Glycyrrhizin is a constituent of licorice, whose history of use goes back thousands of years into traditional Chinese medicine. There has probably been more phytopharmacology done on the constituents of licorice than on any other natural product. An active component of licorice root, glycyrrhizin, has pleotrophic effects. One effect, described in the Lancet report, is its ability to suppress replication of the SARS-associated coronavirus.
Best post to date! #realmedicine #plantsarethepeoplesmedicine
A wonderful article!! Thank you so much for this!!

Thank you. This article and its level of detail are a extraordinary gift of functionality and hope. ♥️🌹
Will print and read this very interesting post Carina during the week. Hope you are OK . All the very best Mark
