Great, but chilling analysis John, keep it coming.

Berberine, its an amazing therapeutic to add to the arsenal.

I blame you for mentioning it :-) but its a good job you did given the unfolding public health disaster.

Therapeutic properties of Berberine

A literature review

Americans kept complaining how impossible is to use Metformin, Berberine does almost the same thing, so I tell people to use Berberine.

I didn't get that post from you... hum wonder what happened.

It was thanks to you for raising awareness we do have a very cost effective and (currently) accessible alternative to ivermectin.

BA.5 is what prompted me to investigate further & write the review asap, and I've ordered berberine & silymarin tablets on account of it as we are all potentially at risk.

That was the other person who I collaborated in the Reverse AIDS thing. I focused on Metformin, and the person said Berberine was pretty much the same, so I always double checked, and it is pretty much it.

I have easier and cheaper access to metformin here. (Brazil) Berberine is too expensive here lol.

berberine & silymarin tablets are a good alternative to IVM?

In a mouse study IVM & HCQ were more effective at inhibiting viral replication early on, but BBR was significantly effective at higher viral loads than these when administered later in the course of infection.

Silymarin increases bioavailability and reduces possible intestinal discomfort.

BBR significantly reduced diarrhoea in Chinese patients with severe Covid compared to controls. And more:

Wow , comprehensive post! So I need to add berberine to the list if a family member catches covid. Theres so many vitamins to use though. Vit C, d3, K2, NAC, NMN, quercetin, zinc, magnesium, melatonin. Is one 400g berberine tablet a good dose or would you megadose if you had covid infection?

Effective range 500-1000mg, above 1000 you risk stomach ache without silymarin. My approach would be to trial each first individually. There should be synergistic benefits through combination but few interaction studies conducted, spacing throughout the day probably sensible and usual disclaimer not medical advice, check with a licensed medical practitioner first.

Oh hello Carp & Igor.

=> check where the murdered Bing Liu lab's paper took the SEB super-antigen QTQTNSPRRAR reference from. Cue: NAChR.

@amicocolorido Nov 3, 2020

And this:

Y(674)QTQTNSPRRAR(685), homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera and HIV-1 GP120

Was here actually:

nAChR pathway is hypothesized to be engaged in the Covid-19 inflammatory syndrome.

Nicotine nAChR agonist just like IVM.

Well the Y(674)QTQTNSPRRAR(685), HIV-1 GP120

homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera

has been on the charts for a while (thread where U are)+ Cholinergic metabolism + nAChR cure.

Absolutely FANTASTIC find of the first paper. While I am very sad about the implications of this paper, it validates what many said on substack about lack of N antibody and endless repeat reinfections in the vaxxed.

(I do not read much on MIS-C as such)

The MIS-C is the most important one. The N is just confirming the biases of the other side.

The MIS-C explains a LOT, but I ain't explaining exactly how. Will see how long it takes for people I despise life Fynn and Walter to make sense (probably never).

So, had I not been vaccinated three weeks prior, would the nasty Staphylococcus A abscess I had to deal with last spring have developed at all? Or would my body have been able to clear that on its own? Because I was fairly convinced that that was a side effect of the jab.

Yes, either the abscess would not develop, or the body would clear it so fast, it would be a mild nuisance that you barely paid attention. It is a side effect of the jab, but not a direct one.
