Little noticed research on oleandrin extract from flowering plant gaining steam.
Just The News – Though often omitted from public conversations about pandemic solutions, the U.S. military has a huge stake in fighting deadly infectious diseases and quietly has been researching novel treatments for years at its secretive biodefense lab at Fort Detrick.
The reasons are mission obvious. With soldiers deployed in exotic locations around the world where novel viruses like Ebola, Zika or bird and swine flus can strike with lighting speed and alarming fatality, the Pentagon wants to make sure it has treatments to keep its forces from being disabled
It’s from that body of research that an intriguing potential remedy, an organic extract, has emerged. And of all sources, it comes from the common but toxic flowering plant oleander. read more
These are all over SoCal and as kids we were warned about them and pyracanthas. We used to have “battles” throwing pyracantha berries at each other. It got pretty messy.
I was just reading that article. The plant world is amazing. Sounds like Galveston has enough Oleander to supply the U.S. with ‘raw material.’
Hawaii has plenty of Oleander as well. Back in a previous life I lived in Hawaii and I remember a little kid nearly dying from roasting marshmallows on an oleander branch. That stuff really is toxic.
Pyracantha berries and sling shots were a lot of fun.
Pyracantha spreads like weeds, xplodeit. The birds eat the berries and poop them miles away. Next thing you know, you have a Pyracantha forest. It’s truly a nasty, invasive species in North America now.
Why aren’t we hearing more about ivermectin. I first saw the reports of it out of Monash U. in Sydney. Here is more info:

The writer also details the reasons why ginseng, zinc, etc. are well-known anti-viral treatments.
Well, somebody must warn PDJT NOT to mention the possibility of Oleander working against the dempanic, because some asshole will feed their whole plant to their spouse and claim that the President MADE them do it.

‘Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime flu.”
Mitigation – no cure.
In a free country – we should (SHOULD?) be able to try whatever we can think of, without waiting for Big Brother’s consent.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Showing my age!

Chickweed!
That’s the ticket!
Don’t know if it’ll work, but it’s got a kool name!
“Does military’s secret biodefense lab hold a key to future coronavirus treatment?”
I live nearby.
I’ll scream that question over the fence to them and I’ll get back to you if anyone replies…
No other post to put this at the moment, but I though it worth passing on. The CoVid-19 case analysis of Snohomish County, Washington, where I live:
https://www.snohd.org/499/COVID-19-Case-Count-Info
It’s a very complete accounting. As you can see, we’re real close to being done with the first wave. (Hats off to Snohomish County first responders and medical professionals – some of the best trained and prepared in the country!)
I would be interested in seeing any similar county web pages from commenters at iOTWReport.
How did Ft. Detrick go from being a “Bio-Weapons Lab” to a “Bio-Defense Lab?”
Mutation?
