I do apologize that you found some of these articles which I place on FR offensive. The reason for me attempting to bring the benefits of BHT to the attention of the public was that some people may be interested to know that there is something which may prevent them from getting bogged down by the current virus which is making its round. So far it has been well established that BHT will remove the lipid coating from lipid coated viruses and the corona virus happens to be in that category.

In order for this virus to do its damage it needs its lipid coating in order to properly bind to the heme group in hemoglobin in your red blood cells which in turn are responsible to carry oxygen where it is supposed to go and needed. BHT in small quantities such as below 1 gm (one gram) for example 250mg to upwards of 500 mg is very well tolerated. Yes, granted there are some humans who can not tolerate it at all and if this is the case avoid it altogether.

By pointing out and explaining how BHT will damage such a virus and render it less damaging, I was under the impression that many people were able to make the connection and come to the conclusion, how to possible avoid the grief this virus poses. Maybe some people were able to make the connection, and perhaps many are not as was evident from your reply.

I also realize that there is absolutely no incentive for pharmaceutical companies to push this as there is no money to be made, neither can this process being patented. Doctors could not or would not even dare to suggest it, as unless there are dozens of pages of iron clad guaranties they would leave themselves wide open to lawsuits, you may be aware of that one of the great American dreams has become to have an accident or damage caused by some one else, hire a lawyer and then sue, for what ever they can get.

So far it has been shown that BHT can be quite effective in keeping a variety of viruses at bay such as herpes, chicken pox, shingles, influenza and Epstein Barr viruses just to mention a few. Needless to say nothing is fool proof or comes with a hundred percent guarantee, neither do any vaccines. As far as myself is concerned I had good experience with BHT dating back over 25 years and taking it off and on when I saw the need arise to ward off some possible infection in a range as mentioned above.

So the conclusion I came to was this. Over all BHT has a pretty good safety record and its benefits are well known and in small quantities it is well tolerated like Aspirin. Once the chance for any infection has passed I no longer take it. The other option would be to take a chance and have this virus catch up with me and cause me all kinds of trouble, especially for a person up in years, even so I am in fairly good health. In this case I opted for the lesser of the two evils.

It is always nice to run into an observant reader of FR. In any case I hope you will not catch this virus and remain in good health,
