Is high VEGF just a defense mechanism, and will inhibiting it help? People are throwing so much biochem and pharmacology at the immune response just to see what sticks. Proinflammatory cytokines like the often mentioned IL-6 increase VEGF. Inhibit the IL-6 and you might inhibit the VEGF, if it even matters. I think the high $$$ Tocilizumab is the currently in favor drug to inhibit IL-6 in critical COVID patients.

You have to be hospitalized to get it.

I think the Genetech drug will work...BUT..your Dr at the hospital has to be able to get it..and that is still a problem.

Since I already have a number of issues on a daily basis that are seen with Wuhan Flu I am going to be prepared.
