A pair of over-the-counter compounds has been found in preliminary tests to inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19, University of Florida Health researchers have found.
The combination includes diphenhydramine, an antihistamine used for allergy symptoms. When paired with lactoferrin, a protein found in cow and human milk, the compounds were found to hinder the SARS-CoV-2 virus during tests in monkey cells and human lung cells.
The findings by David A. Ostrov, Ph.D., an immunologist and associate professor in the UF College of Medicine’s department of pathology, immunology and laboratory medicine and his colleagues, are published in the journal Pathogens.
“We found out why certain drugs are active against the virus that causes COVID-19. Then, we found an antiviral combination that can be effective, economical, and has a long history of safety,” Ostrov said.
Like diphenhydramine, lactoferrin is available without a prescription. Ostrov thought about pairing it with diphenhydramine and ran with the idea. In lab tests on human and monkey cells, the combination was particularly potent: Individually, the two compounds each inhibited SARS-CoV-2 virus replication by about 30%. Together, they reduced virus replication by 99%.
While the findings are encouraging, Ostrov cautions against self-medicating with either diphenhydramine or lactoferrin as a COVID-19 prevention or treatment. The type of lactoferrin used in the research differs slightly from the type that is commonly available to consumers, he noted. Lactoferrin is commonly used as a supplement to treat stomach and intestinal ulcers, among other uses.

Today, I am outlawing antihistamines and milk.
The soience says its for the greater good.
Get your shots.
ALL of them.
Its your only way out.
Well, there go my allergy meds.
Great. Add them to the growing list of commonly available coof-busters, but it won’t help with the cancerous authoritarianism which plagues us. I’m afraid we are going to have to resort to some other commonly available over-the-counter remedies to deal with that.
“In lab tests on human and monkey cells”. Ok, but what about the rest of us?
SeE. tHaTs AnOtHeR rEaSoN To OuTlAw CoWs!
8 to 10k iu’s of Vitamin D a day. More if you’re heavy set as D is fat soluble. Prevention works! Unless you took the jab. Then you got some more work to do but D remains part of it.
Take one Benadryl with milk or ice cream daily.

Okay, then where do we get the type that ISN’T commonly available to consumers?
^^^^^^^^^
Pfizer and Moderna are coming with pills for only $999.00 each.
More proof they want power and don’t care if you die. As if we needed it.
The two compounds are called your thumb and index finger, reach over and turn the television off and poof, just like that the “pandemic” is over
I take 3 diphenhydramine 50mg every night to get me to sleep. Now I just need milk??
I am also ordering all unvaxxed females to get double mastectomies.
This is to ensure that their milk is not used for unauthorized, off-label purposes.
Its for the greater good.
The military will be mobilized to ensure compliance. The 69666 Mobile Transgender Mastectomy Battalion has been specially formed as their interest in gender equity will drive them to complete their mission in the bloodi…I mean, most efficient way possible.
I am soience.
I have spoken.
My independent research has shown 2 to 4 shots of Laphroaig 10 year old has prevented Covi 100% for 2 years.

Ivermectin, vitamins, antihistamines… all just as effective. When purchased, shelved, and unused.
Both will be removed from shelves immediately.
It is a shame that we are at a place where the first responses to this breakthrough are cynical – either the govt will suppress it, or big pharmacy will exploit it.
Benadryl + Lactoferrin.

people who have low iron use lactofferin, too.
[I take the regular ferrous iron pills]
Quercetin works for allergies and arthritis [alone], as well as against the rona ( with Zinc and D3).
So by implication then that means that garden-variety college researchers have vials of SARS covid 2 handy for playing around in a Petri dish. Sorry I don’t even believe it’s been proven to exist to begin with, much less isolated.
I consume both of those & chew nicotine gum (trying to stop smoking), so I’m set!
