Wonder how the classes differ in mechanisms in that one would help and one not in regards to this virus?
Pretty early on there was a finding that people on Keto diets where less susceptible to Covid. That would gel with the info presented here.
Ah, thank God. I was thinking it was going to be more complicated than that.
I have been taking fenofibrate for the last three years and haven’t had an upper respiratory infection of any kind in that time frame. I knew I hadn’t been sick; this is very interesting information.

“There is already an early treatment. It is called HCQ.”
I’m on it, as a preventative. 1 x 200mg per week. Low dose. Talked my PA into it.
My cholesterol regimen includes a daily dose of fenofibrate. Yay!
Not almost. They definitely don’t want to have any cure/vaccine before the elections.
Politicians, actors, entertainers and millionaires seem to have no problem obtaining hcq for preventative treatment. The Proles on the other hand, good luck!
How dare you offer a cheap, effective and safe treatment when there are hundreds of billions of dollars to be made on vaccines! /s
“Would Lipitor work also?”
What about Crestor? Or the generic Rosuvastatin?
The funding for that vaccine was dropped after the outbreak was fully contained and never reached epidemic levels.
Though in hindsight...had it be completed, it may have been easier and faster to come up with a vaccine for the current virus.
You got that right. Maybe they will get lucky this time, but I'd rather they quit dissing hydroxychloroquine + zinc and other effective treatments.
The mechanism to burn fat only activates once insulin levels in the blood are low, which requires low blood sugar.
If there is any degree of insulin resistance, carbohydrates cannot be burned and therefore insulin levels remain higher, and for a longer period of time.
In fact, high insulin also signals the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids to be stored in adipose tissue.
The body is then placed in the horrible position of being loaded with carbohydrates and storing higher and higher amounts of fats, yet the patient is starving.
The virus is basically pushing borderline Type 2 diabetes into full blown cases.
The plain and obvious answer is to place all patients on a no carb/low protein diet (protein can be converted into glucose) until the virus resolves. But doctors have no ability to think about measures other than drugs, so we’re off to the races.
Google “Dr. Jason Fung” for all kinds of interesting facts about obesity, diabetes and carbs.
After experimenting on myself with diet, supplements, and exercise, and losing 30 lbs. of fat in 11 weeks, I’m writing a book about how to exploit these and other mechanisms to boost metabolism, lose weight, stay mentally sharp, and live a longer, healthier life. From the research I’ve done, the biggest factor by far is cutting out sugars, simple starches, and processed foods.
COVID-19 is the name of the disease and SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the virus.
I'd rather just call it the Chicom Wuhan virus.
Very informative video by brave doctors.

Low carb is best ping!
These occasions are where carbs are being unnaturally stored in lung tissue as fat globules. They can’t be fully used by the body, yet the victim is still pumping them into their mouth.
It seems very likely that a low carb diet would fix this in the same way as the drug.
The liver converts both protein and fat into glucose.
