Big pharma is really going out of their way to downplay low tech approaches which may not “cure” the virus but instead minimize the symptoms to the point of avoiding hospitalization.
Here is a good Italian survey of in vitro results which offer a promising category of nutritional options (polyphenols) which may very well offer the maximum in terms of lowering the symptoms for minimal cost and risk. “No cure but no hospitalization” is an attractive compromise for many. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmed.2020.00240/full >From all I have read, this polyphenol category actually provides the most >promising near term approach if your goal is avoiding hospitalization >following a positive test for the infection. Of course – big pharma gets zero and the economy still suffers – but the hard truth is that a real cure and effective vaccine may NEVER materialize. Many experts agree with this but will not go the next step and actually recommend polyphenols.
