natural treatment of SARS 2 and other influenzas

1-26-21  Jha, dean of Brown University School of Public Health, and Gigi Gronvall, PhD, a senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.  Jha says that evidence suggests

 the variants from the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil are about 50% more contagious than the strain common in the United States.  Scientists are still studying the transmissibility of the California variant, but they believe it is also more contagious.  All the variants have mutations to the spike protein that the virus uses to gain entry to and infect human cells.  https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/covid-19-variants-are-spreading-rapidly-here-s-what-scientists-know-about-them-and-why-you-need

  Taiwanese research team believes vaccine approach may be ineffective against SARS 2 ongoing mutations.  They found after a broad search that 3 herbs are effective against SARS 2:  Ganoderma lucidum (lingzhi mushroom), Perilla frutescens (perilla or Korean perilla, a mint) and Mentha haplocalyx (Chinese peppermint).    https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2021/01/28/2003751347

  sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda--we found out that this substance is capable of balancing the pH level in the human body.  Scientists emphasize that acidosis in the blood is reflected by a drop of pH level to less than 7.35.  On top of that, they asserted that the existence of acidosis in the blood simplifies the entry of viruses to host cells and then thrive and replicate inside their hosts.  And based on these facts we reach a conclusion stating that sodium bicarbonate is capable of defeating covid-19.  We suggest depleting the virus resources instead of destroying it through drugs or improving the immune system through vaccination…."Your blood needs the right balance of acidic and basic (alkaline) compounds to function properly.  This is called the acid-base balance. Your kidneys and lungs work to maintain the acid-base balance.  Even slight variations from the normal range can have significant effects on your vital organs.  Acid and alkaline levels are measured on a pH scale.  An increase in acidity causes pH levels to fall.  An increase in alkaline causes pH levels to rise" [1].   We learn from scientists that the sodium bicarbonate administration increases the pH level and consequently alters the body acidosis condition to equilibrium. Thus enclosing the virus in an environment where it cannot survive. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346929536_Sodium_Bicarbonate_defeats_Coronavirus

Oct 2020    the current review attempted to explore the possibility to use sodium bicarbonate as an alternative lysosomotropic agent based on the reported literature owing to its anti-flu properties and widespread use during 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.  The suggestions put forward in the current review article based on the careful use of sodium bicarbonate could probably help to restrain SARS-CoV-2 infection.  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344946669_Lysosomotropic_properties_of_sodium_bicarbonate_and_covid-19

1-27-21   New study out of Oxford University found  1 in 8 people who have recovered from COVID-19 are diagnosed with their first psychiatric or neurological illness within six months of testing positive for the bug, according to a new study.  Researchers  surveyed 236,379 coronavirus patients.  https://nypost.com/2021/01/27/1-in-8-covid-patients-develop-mental-illness-within-months-study/    .........................
