Antivirals with anti-sars capabilities:

We will finally know what works via trial for truvada.

Truvada = $20/mo
(and might work better)

Paxlovid = $1300 for 2 weeks.

Funded study of antiviral tx in long covid announced that tests truvada and will also look at marovirac Here.s an approach to address steps in the long covid puzzle using proven drugs/supplements that are cheap, safe and accessible.

This like many approaches is not proven.

Sharing as FYI to use or not as makes sense. A 🧵

1) antiviral 2) TLR4 antiInflamm 3) micrclot breaker

“Smoking gun” articles together re:brain fog #longcovid

spike binds TLR4. TLR4 activation causes memory issues.

AND IS REVERSIBLE at least in mice! DrT post shows flow process.

There are lots of ways to quiet TLR4 activity (curcimin, metformin, berberbine, LDN etc)

Exercise capacity increased ~25% after 2 weeks of 1.5mg/day or taurine vs placebo. Small number of patients, 29. Heart failure.

Long Covid study shows TLR4 inflammation is at the core of the disease. Stop/Reverse to end the feedback loop causing ongoing downstream issues of inflammation and micro-clotting . Multi prong approach should work. Antiviral, TLR4 block, Fibrin break up, Probiotics… What Else? Link to original study on long covid cause. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

@organichemusic interesting article on melatonin as a therapeutic for #longcovid. Can you include a melatonin try/efficacy question in an upcoming survey? Or if someone has tried melatonin for.
