Two over-the-counter drugs effective against coronavirus. What does it mean? There is a warning

Two popular over-the-counter compounds (diphenhydramine and lactoferrin) reduce COVID-19 replication by 99%. This was shown by laboratory studies of scientists from Florida

[BusterDog]

I call it the Benadryl and Bordans Protocol.

Study from University of Florida originally published in Pathogens on Nov 20, 2021. Didn't start to see any press until end of Nov, beginning of Dec, but is accelerating now.

Studies in vitro, and is reminiscent to me of the way story on Ivermectin rolled out. That, too, was promising but just in vitro. For the first month or two, it was easy to get Ivermectin, after that, it became much more difficult.

I'd expect within the next couple of weeks this study will hit our regular "alternative" news sources.

We will see what happens, but if it turns out to be even partially correct, it's a pretty big deal.

Is it as safe as marijuana?

Hunter wants to know if it’s safer than crack.

Dr. McCullough has been advocating gargling with a dilute (2 tsp/8 oz water)solution of OTC povodine ( Betadyne) for months. States it reduces viral( any type) replication in the upper respiratory tract ( should be especially effective on omicron then)and also using dropper to cleanse nostrils twice a day. He cites a study showing this and says this has been standard practice with some dentists for years. He says to prepare a new solution daily rather than keeping it on the shelf.

Chocolate milk and a Benadryl. I added the chocolate.

What’s next, chicken soup, grilled cheese, and 7-up? Moms everywhere will be gloating over their homeopathic cures.

A core tenet of science is that experiments can be repeated successfully. We will need to see that from overseas, since CDC is not trusted. Maybe best we wait for Israel’s or South Korea’s public health people to make a declaration.

What is Bordans? Yes I googled.

Brand of milk, I misspelled it, Borden’s. Need Lactoferin supplement, though, which is derived from milk.

The study actually points out the the lactoferrin used in this in vitro study is specialized and NOT from milk.

Maybe Borden’s milk? It’s a brand of dairy products

Note quite... ;-)

I guess folks that can’t have milk will have to forgo the lactoferrin...

[ConservativeMind]

I read the study paper, itself.

The lactoferrin was an 85+% extract from human female breast milk provided by Millipore Sigma.

Of note, lactoferrin from women is about 90% apolactoferrin and 10% normal lactoferrin.

Fortunately, apolactoferrin is the form more supplements recently use, which they state is just “Lactoferrin.” Case in point is Jarrow Formula’s “Lactoferrin.” It is 100% apolactoferrin, but is named “Lactoferrin.”

It is safe to interpret the “lactoferrin” from the study was about 10% normal lactoferrin (“hololactoferrin” with ferric iron) and 90+% apolactoferrin, which, when used in the study, would provide great insight into how babies across the world are surviving COVID-19 so easily.

Cows make the exact same lactoferrins, but in a different proportion.

So, my theory still holds water: Everything cures the Wuhan Flu...except The Jab.

"The study actually points out the the lactoferrin used in this in vitro study is specialized and NOT from milk."

The source is irrelevant. Lactoferrin is lactoferrin...that is just basic chemistry.

Lactoferrin supplement capsules.

I'm going to stick with what I've got that has worked almost 2 years perfectly; not even a cold in that time: quercetin + Zn gluconate + vitamins B, C, and D3. Quercetin performs exactly the same function as hydrochloroquine, but is freely available without a scrip, which HCQ is not.

Have often also taken diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg (Benadryl) sold in the Dollar Tree stores everywhere as a "nighttime sleep aid." Thirty-six tablets for a dollar, is the cost there.

This "lactoferrin" costs as much or more than quercetin, and it's not proven to my satisfaction yet. So I'll pass on this for the time.
