This is what I’ll call a classic bait and switch. The article is titled “New Study Shows Chemical Found in Green Leafy Vegetables Can Slow the Spread and Treat Illnesses Caused by COVID-19 and Other Common Cold Viruses.” So, Salad cures COVID?
That’s the sales pitch. Eat your greens and a phytochemical called sulforaphane “can inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2.”
“While the results are promising, the researchers caution the public against rushing to buy sulforaphane supplements available online and in stores, noting that studies of sulforaphane in humans are necessary before the chemical is proven effective, and emphasizing the lack of regulation covering such supplements,” Hopkins Medicine stated.
Sulforaphane can be found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, both red and white varieties, bok choy, watercress, arugula, also known as rocket.
Then we get to this.
According to Alvaro Ordonez, M.D., the first author of the paper and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, sulforaphane and remdesivir work better combined than alone is very encouraging.
Do you know what’s even more encouraging than having a salad with your thousand-dollar a dose boutique drug that doesn’t work well at all by itself? Ivermectin. It’s cheap, safe, and works before infection, during, and can be started will into an actual infection of SARS CoV2 and all of its variants.
And the leafy greens are optional (but still good for you). No COVID19 vaccine. No ventilators. No death by hospital. No kickbacks from the feds or rising Gilead Sciences Stock prices.
It’s almost like the only incentive is to treat people and make them well.
Can you imagine if we had a health care system like that?
