Seems crazy. I booked a group tour for Maine in August. Haven’t heard that it’s cancelled yet. It’s not as if they are densely populated, but they apparently have a Commie governor.
I love Maine.

One of the best kept secrets around is BHT short for butylated hydroxy toluene.

It 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.

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.

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 200 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.

So why to take BHT on the firs place? It has been long known that BHT will remove the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such a virus 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. Also BHT is effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and some strains of influenza.13 A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be treated 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 these infections.

The CORONAVIRUS is also a lipid covered virus and BHT affects the lipid covering and in turn prevents the virus from attaching itself and do its damage. Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well. 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 BHT doesn’t care if such a virus mutates or not. As long as such a virus has a lipid coating it will remove it AND DISABLE SUCH A VIRUS. And it is available at Amazon....make your own case. I have been using it off and on for over thirty years whenever some nasty viruses (lipid coated ones that is, not all of them are) were on the lose and so far it worked. Better than chewing my fingernails hoping not to catch a “BUG”

Nearly 1,100 positive cases in Maine, 600+ of them have recovered.

170 are in the hospital; 53 others have died, mostly in nursing homes, veterans homes, rehab facilities, etc.

There are four active cases in Hancock County, where Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is located. Six others have recovered.

The hot spots are Cumberland County, where Portland is located, and York County, also in southern Maine.

Maine traditionally has a lot of summer visitors from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, etc., all coronavirus hot spots. A lot of people are worried about Maine’s positive cases spiking in the summer as a result.

On the other hand, if the summer tourist season is shut down, it would be a economic disaster for Maine of enormous and catastrophic proportions.

Caught between a rock and a hard place.

Jordan’s Snack Bar, a fast food staple of Downeast Maine, re-opened for the Spring-Summer season yesterday.

I have relatives in the area, and some of them have worked at Jordan’s. It really is a pretty good place to eat.

I’m guessing they still plan on ‘visitors from away’ this summer.

Coastal Maine also gets a lot of visitors from Canada during the summer—if they are not allowed to visit that will be a _big_ deal for coastal resort towns.

What about the North Atlantic Blues Fest?

Blues Fest canceled. Lobster Festival canceled. Maine Boats and Homes canceled. That's big stuff for the midcoast area of Maine. All in Knox county with a handful of cases and no deaths.
