I have tried methylene blue and low dose-7mg or cut them in half, nicotine patches and found them to be somewhat helpful. The idea behind the patches is that there may be an acetylcholine deficiency and nicotine fits the same receptors so fixes that. If you start investigating it, it does the same sort of thing those new dementia drugs do without the fatal side effects

According to my premise as a structural organic chemist ( PhD, long retired), Nicotine’s chemical structure has features that could make it a very good anti viral against viruses of this kind. Such features are shared by hundreds of common drug molecules in use now from many different indications. That should make 80% of a good high street pharmacy’s stock anti viral here ( additional property). But prophylactically or therapeutically, they must be used in combinations with other URT medications. A single drug may not be adequate. With a combination, you get total anti viral firepower for this job.

Thank you for suggestion. Nicotine patches are just an internet rumor or controlled opposition. Proof of my statement? I smoke over a pack of cigarettes a day and have for years.

Another one that I can debunk is metformin. Was on 2000mg a day before I ever got the virus or the jab. Have since switched to natural supplements to control sugar levels but was taking it at the time.

See my comment on Nicotine above. In that context, I have been wondering since long, if smokers could largely escape this infection from exposure. Nicotine effect. From India, I wrote to my national apex medical body, ICMR , in 2022 itself to conduct a survey among smokers on their infection status. It is serious science. How about you, Mark, could you evade this infection through these 3 years ?

I got it delta in 9/2021. Acute illness was mild. Smoked and was on metformin at the time. So it didn't give me total protection but I can't say they didn't help minimize illness for the acute phase. Unfortunately I developed long covid, then got boosted (huge regret but at the time they were indicating that it might take away the long covid symptoms) and was bedridden for 3 months. I may be sensitive to the spike protein or something else that is in both the virus and the jab??? Almost 3 years later and still suffering
