Fact check: Calamansi Does Not Cure COVID-19
Philstar.com ^ | October 4, 2021 | Franco Luna

Posts from small businesses selling calamansi juice concentrate are claiming again that similar acidic products like lemon and honey can be used to cure the coronavirus.

Like most other diet myths claimed to effectively treat the coronavirus, this is misleading.

What they're saying: This one post sourced from a Viber group of community sellers labels a calamansi juice concentrate product as being "Anti-COVID Delta Variant."

You may want to try this instead

Vladimir Zelenko MD new Z pac

Compare it with what I have been suggesting and been posting off and on for many months. I don’t blame Dr. Zelenko if he is trying to make some extra money, or most likely the ones using his name. Some of the additional components in my suggested mix are for insurance. In other words and plain English I believe in throwing the proverbial “Kitchen sink” at this “Bug” at the first moment it makes itself known.

I don’t quite agree that his combination “IS ALL YOU NEED” to protect yourself as it leaves out an important component such as NAC which is converted by your body to GLUTATHIONE a powerful booster of your immune system. (MD recommended) And more recently I have added LYSINE (MD recommended) which has the ability TO STOP THE REPLICATION OF VIRUSES as I believe this to be a very desirable and worth while feature as you don’t want the virus to spread. The nice part of all this is that all components are readily available without any prescription. It may be a little more difficult to find NAC, even so Amazon dropped it because the FDA got on their case it still is available from other sources.

My suggestion was and still is the following as suggested and recommended by various physicians. I collected and compiled the information and passing it along to give people a choice and derive the benefits from it.

QUERCETIN 500 mg, ZINC 50 mg, NAC 500 mg, D 1500 IU, C- 1500 mg, LYSINE 500 mg. B-Complex as suggested, MELATONIN 3 mg to 5 mg

All this may not prevent you from catching the bug and should it hit, DOUBLE or TRIPLE these amounts for several days. This vitamin regime will not only help to throw off this bug, but are also beneficial to your health if you get this bug or not and most people are deficient in these nutrients to begin with. Aside from that any harmful side effects from any of these suggested vitamins is almost unknown as opposed to what has become known about the current vaccines in use, unless someone goes stupid and hog wild thinking more is always better.

Another word of advice is to have these nutrients in your system BEFORE you think you have caught this bug, as getting a jump on things always wins out over running after the train once it has left the station.

How important is melatonin? I’m not crazy about taking hormones. Science does not know enough about them yet.

Not to be confused with calamari. Sliced, breaded pig rectums served with a squeeze of lemon.

Let’s be clear: Similar acidic products also do not ‘cure’ acid reflux.

Still don’t understand why melatonin is on the list. Who needs to sleep after all this?

Well you got a point, but while you sleep the the brain resets many function like you might defrag a hard drive.

You may want to look up the many health benefits of melatonin and the human body ages it generates less and less of its own. Aside from this, stay healthy and well always good to hear from a member of FR.

I did used to take it, but like I said, I stepped back from any hormones.

Also, if you take something like melatonin, will your body respond by making less of it's own? Can you increase the amount of melatonin your body males through fasting?

Look at COVID-19 early treatment: real-time analysis of 995 studies. Melatonin is almost as effective as Ivermectin. (Note: the treatments in bold type had adequate studies)
