New Antiviral Chewing Gum Could Help Prevent Flu and Herpes Infections

Oddity Central: Scientists from Finland and the United States have developed a special type of chewing gum that can ‘trap’ and neutralize some influenza and herpes viruses.

When asked to think about the best thing to fight the flu and herpes with, most people probably wouldn’t say ‘chewing gum’, but according to a new study published in the Molecular Therapy journal, the humble chewing gum could prove extremely effective at fighting off certain viruses. A medical-grade gum made primarily from lablab bean powder ground from the seeds of the Lablab purpureus species, which contain a natural viral trap protein called FRIL, has shown great potential for neutralizing certain types of viruses, including influenza and herpes-causing viruses, in lab tests. more

  1. Apparently I’m the lone wolf (or sheep?) here…

    IF they are only using naturally found chemicals, and NOT secretly embedding mRNA anywhere, this should be applauded and encouraged.

    But, until RFK Jr rewrites the book on pharmaceuticals, they are not to be trusted.

  2. Agreed SNS – the plant kingdom is notorious for producing poisons that kill anything that eats plants.

    But that’s something for scientists to weed out (pun intended.)

    And some poisons from nature in small quantities can turn out to be very helpful.

    Foxglove (digitalis), Henbane, poppy (Opium), Sweet Clover (warfarin) to name a few.

    “But that’s something for scientists to weed out (pun intended.)”

    …you are correct, but it all falls apart on the “scientist” thing.

    Theyve pretty much blown their trust with me. With a lot of other people too.

    Murdering our relatives will do that.

    …years to build and seconds to break is how trust works.

    So they have a LOT of proving to do to get it back.

    Not CONTINUING to lie about mRNA would be a good start.

    But so far, they cant even man up enough to do THAT…

  4. …by the way, do you notice something about this depiction of satan here, apart from him misleading children?

    Look what he has stuck in his shorts.

    A caduceus.

    …This is not shopped. I didnt do it. His own followers did.

    Seems like maybe they know something about modern medicine that we are just STARTING to notice, nicht wahr?

    …seems pretty accurate to ME…

  5. I believe RFK jr and Trump need to slow walk the mRNA debacle so RFK’s congressional testimony can’t be used against him.

    The price of getting confirmed…

  6. A TRULY FREE MARKET in everything medicine-related, would have brought us real health a long time ago. Sadly we have a government-protected CARTEL that promotes disease and pharmaceuticals.

  7. We live and move in a soup of bacteria and viruses. There already are trillions in the ecosystem we call our bodies.

    Guess what. We also have an incredible immune system that usually dispenses with the dangerous buggers — unless we’ve trashed it with too many antibiotics and vaccines.
