Lysine Therapy for SARS-CoV-2

And don’t use L-arginine.

Wasn’t lysine supposed to control the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park?

*******

Yes, they were deficient in it. You better order some before you go extinct. They didn’t order any and look what happened to them.

Unless you wash it down with a methanol cocktail! :-)

Have been taking 1,000 mg of L-Lysine daily for years - it inhibits the replication of viruses.

Along with D3 and C, the only things I take (so I'm not a 24-pill-a-day supplement-aholic).

I wondered about herpes meds possibly helping with the virus, as they are antivirals.

There are some other ‘fairly powerful’ antivirals out there... olive leaf, oil of oregano, as well as others. Supposedly oil of oregano and olive leaf will suppress the herpes virus, and other viruses that are tough to treat. Lysine too of course, they al, work similar. Though not sure if they’d work strongly enough to fight covid in folks that are sick or elderly if the virus really takes hold?

And don’t use L-arginine.

Why not?

From this research -

Restriction of coffee (and other high caffeine drinks), the importance of which cannot be stressed enough, and observing the arginine restricted diet is critical to the speed of recovery and success of treatment.

It’s been shown to cause issues with viruses, allergies, and asthma.

Interesting.

Thanks for the info.

I will have to keep that in mind with my health issues, which include lots of allergies, and THANK GOD, no asthma. Don’t know why, because by all indicators I should have it, but I don’t.

I hope you stay healthy. :)

I have taken L-ar and R lypoic for mild neuropathy for years.seems to help

Thanks.

I know lots of fitness guys take both, but usually it’s in another drink of combined chemicals.

Arginine is often in pre workout drinks. I believe it helps with vasodilation. (getting pumps)
I quit taking pre workout drinks as I’m not sure they’re healthy. This one I used to take made my skin itch, scalp tingle, and heart beat quite high.

One of the best kept secrets around is BHT and its ability to kill LIPID covered viruses amongst them the corona virus. And it works like a charm for suppressing the herpes virus. Unfortunately once you have the herpes virus, you have it forever and all you can do is suppress it, but more often than not taking 400mg to 500mg of BHT for three to four days can suppress it for a long time, if it happens to show up again repeat the procedure.

BHT short for butylatedhydroxytoluene, has been around for the better part of thirty years or more, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense. Without going into all the details which would fill many pages some of the benefits are difficult to ignore even so pharmaceutical as well as the medical profession does their best to do so. As a prophylactic it would serve its purpose very well until the right vaccine comes along, without any undesirable side effects, besides being inexpensive and is safer than alcohol consumption, use of tobacco or many other unhealthy eating habits, including many prescription dugs with, many of them having undesirable side effects. No doubt whenever you had a prescription filled it came along with a sheet filled with warnings.

Some of the reasons are that that there is no money to be made by pharmaceutical companies as patents related to BHT ran out long time ago and in order to have it approved for medical application it would require an immeasurable amounts of human tests with expenditures in the millions of Dollars which most likely will never be recovered.

On the other hand many doctors may know about it but will refrain from suggesting it as recommending anything which is not approved by the FDA would leave them wide open to lawsuits, as it is pretty well known that one of the American dreams is, to fall on your neighbors property and then sue them for what ever they can get.

Over the years enough information about BHT has surfaced that if used in small quantities to achieve a particular result, such as from 100 mg to about 1g (one gram or 1000mg) and in most cases 250mg to 450mg may do a nice job for some of the things suggested, it may be less harmful than an equivalent amount of Aspirins. Again do your own research and use common sense which appears to be in short supply these days. Should you decide to try don’t go overboard with it, as more is not always better.

Even so if you still apprehensive or hesitant, use it only when one of those nasty viruses appears on the scene and use it as a prophylactic in a small quantity perhaps up to 450 mg and once the danger subside stop taking it. The catch is that in order to do its job BHT works better before you get sick, as BHT will NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGE which may already have been done by an infectious disease such as the corona virus. Even so, if taken afterwards BHT will still continue to disable lipid covered viruses, but to repair any damage already caused may require different medications.

One suggested way of taking BHT is to dissolve the quantity you intend to take first in oil as BHT is only soluble in either oil or alcohol, I is also much better absorbed by the human body, but alcohol is not recommended to consume along with BHT. One way of doing it is to dissolve 18 grams or 277 grains, if you happen to have a powder scale used for reloading, of BHT in 200 milliliters of olive oil in a small glass bottle. Then heat it up slightly in a microwave for maybe 40 seconds and then shake it a few times. A teaspoon of this substance, depending on its size will give you approx. 450 mg of BHT which in most cases should do the trick.

So why take BHT on the firs place? It has been long known that BHT will damage the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such one of such viruses and by doing so will prevent such a virus from attaching itself and do its dirty work.

The Principal Benefits of BHT

In order of importance, supplementing with BHT can help with:

Reduce and prevent viral infections such as herpes, thus terminating their outbreaks. But BHT is also effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and many strains of influenza. These are just a few but not all of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be killed by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat and address these infections individually, and there probably never will be as no money can be made. Here, it may be of interest to note that a patent had been filed with the number US4350707 for BHT because of its LIPID COVERED virus killing ability approximately 30 years ago, however in the meantime this patent has expired.

Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well as BHT. So when everything comes down to being cut and dried, do you prefer risking being infected with a nasty virus with all kinds of unpredictable side effects or take a chance with some substance which overall has a very good safety record.

Besides most viruses will mutate over time, and by the time someone may come up with the proper vaccine it may no longer match the virus which is currently making its round. But this doesn’t make any difference with BHT if such a virus mutates or not. As long as such a virus has a lipid coating it will damage and disable it..
One of my hunches is, of course it is only speculation, and is based on how vaccination generally works. After BHT has finished the deactivation process of a given virus, such a virus may no longer have the potential to harm the human body, however any remnants of it may encourage our immune system to spring into action and produce anti bodies against this particular virus. Basically this is how immunization works by injecting a deactivated virus in anticipation that our immune system responds to it and begins to fight the real thing, when it come along by means of antibodies it has developed in the mean time.
I for one and many others who have been using BHT off and on for the past thirty years whenever one of these lipid covered viruses made their rounds have been pretty successful in keeping those nasty viruses at bay..
To date, there has never been a successful coronavirus vaccine made, due to the nature of the virus. Additionally, past attempts to create a coronavirus vaccine have ONLY RESULTED IN LEAVING THE VACCINATED PERSON WITH A HIGHER CHANCE OF SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH WHEN LATER EXPOSED TO ANOTHER STRAIN OF THE VIRUS.

Looks like I’m getting ample amounts of lysine. :-)
