Waiting for the democrat/media/big pharma/Faux-xi cheerleaders on here to say the death serum is perfectly safe with 98% efficacy.
The same dihydrogen monoxide used in nuclear reactors?!?!!?
^this
Not exactly a perfectly harmless drug. It’s has strong anticholinergic side effects, especially in children and the elderly. You don’t want to gulp this stuff and drive, you may fall asleep behind the wheel. An older person may not be able to pee for a week and have instant Parkinson’s disease symptoms. There are much better antihistamines available. Read the warning label, they’re are much safer H1 blockers like Zyrtec. It’s far from a benign drug, especially in children where it can easily be lethal.
Be careful. Diphenhydramine is Benadryl, an antihistamine. Most common sleep aids contain an antihistamine, but many OTC sleep aids have an antihistamine OTHER THAN diphenhydramine (usually doxylamine).
Now, for sleeping, doxylamine = diphenhydramine, but the SARS CoV 2 inhibition of diphenhydramine (if it is true) may work a different way than the sleep-inducing properties.
Bkmrk
I think we’re going to find that EVERY cheap, simple medicine is effective against Covid. Except the one they’re pushing on us. LOL
Awwww...that report is full of Swiss Cheese!
From the study:
“Lactoferrin from human milk was obtained…”
There are bovine lactoferrin options that would be fine. Other studies showed their efficacy.
That stuff kill you dead
Careful kid, you’ll put an eye out
I wonder if they tried it with the OTC version of lactoferrin and it didn’t work, or did they purposely use the research type because it costs more, is regulated, and on UFs investment portfolio?

Here is the original link where the medical paper is accessed….

Pathogens is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of pathogens and pathogen-host interactions published monthly online by MDPI..... this is the “Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute” and they are based in Switzerland. On Nov. 20, 2021, they put out this piece called “Highly Specific Sigma Receptor Ligands Exhibit Anti-Viral Properties in SARS-CoV-2 Infected Cells.”
Here is a copy and paste of I think is the heart of what this medical paper is saying in section 2.3 ... I don’t have time to review it again right now but I suspect that this sort of addresses the question you asked….
In our investigations into sigma-binding ligands, including diphenhydramine, we sought to reduce the EC50 by addition of another safe, and well characterized protein from milk, lactoferrin. The host-iron sequestration protein lactoferrin was reported to exhibit direct antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 [28,29], is broadly antimicrobial, and possesses host immunostimulatory properties. We tested combinations of lactoferrin with diphenhydramine to measure effects on reduction of EC50. Co-administration of 400 μg/mL of lactoferrin with diphenhydramine further reduced SARS-CoV-2 induced cytotoxicity and decreased the EC50 by 55.5% to 54.2 μg/mL (185.7 μM; Figure 8C,D). The antiviral enhancement effects of lactoferrin are more apparent at lower, therapeutically relevant concentrations of diphenhydramine (Figure 8E). Inhibition of viral replication was also investigated by qPCR (Figure 8F). Lactoferrin (400 μg/mL) was able to decrease N-protein RNA copies by 28.0% 48 h after infection, compared to DMSO alone controls while 40 μg/mL diphenhydramine alone resulted in 32.2% reduction. When combined, they inhibited 99.97% of N-protein RNA copies, a 3-log reduction that was highly significant. These data demonstrate that combinations of two over-the-counter compounds, with well characterized safety profiles, have synergistic effects on inhibition of SARS-CoV-2.
It’s generic and sold at Dollar Tree................

Whey protein from human breastmilk inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection, August 2020
When paired with lactoferrin, a protein found in cow and human milk, the compounds were found to hinder the SARS-CoV-2 virus during tests in monkey cells and human lung cells.

The FDA will soon require a doctor’s prescription for milk and recommend that newborn’s not be breastfed with this dangerous medically unapproved substance.
I'm 73 and I have never had any adverse affects from it.
Lactoferrin is only found in colostrum, the milk produced in the first 24 hours after a calf or baby has been born.
Is it just me, or doesn’t lactoferrin sound like a blend of milk and iron?
