As of June 11th 2020, there were twenty American states reporting an increase in new cases at a time when North America was hesitantly reopening for business. Now COVID and its variants are raging in all the un-United States and we have the highest numbers in the world of daily dead. Face masks are required in public settings but many people fail to wear them. Don’t be a fool. Why use remedies used for horses or parasites when those remedies do not affect COVID?
I have spent my entire adult life working with herbs and foods to heal people. The Chinese have used herbal medicines to stop Bird flu, another SARS disease, and they reopened completely after defeating COVID. But now since they returned to “normal,” they must again shut down. The smart ones will go back to using their Chinese herbs. This is good news.
COVID19 has a high fatality rate 99.5% for those who are unvaccinated and especially those who have pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, obesity, COPD and heart disease. One key to staying well is to protect our core health and defensive energy by strengthening Stomach and Spleen digestion with a sensible diet. That can help prevents the common cold and allergies. But after an invading army of discomforts has penetrated our defenses, we need to treat internal imbalances such as fever and infection which more acutely damage health.
A Long Tradition of Fighting Epidemics
Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of herbal medicines used to cure epidemic disease. The Shang Han Lun, one of the earliest Chinese medicine texts. explains the treatment of epidemic disease and how it penetrates us from outside the body. Following that tradition, traditional Chinese herbal medicines have been proven effective for curbing milder symptoms of COVID19 without creating an auto-immune response (cytokine storm). Here is one such remedy that may help you to keep your energy and courage strong.
Good News from China
May 5, 2020, cgtn.com news (China Global Television Network) reported that China’s top respiratory expert, Zhong Nanshan, said the Chinese patent remedy Lian Hua Qing Wen capsule “has been proven effective for the treatment of COVID-19.”
Experiments show that the traditional Chinese medicine can inhibit the virus and repair cell injuries and inflammation caused by the virus. It is most effective for patients showing mild symptoms. According to controlled experiments
For the treatment of COVID-19, the main effects of Lianhua Qingwen are as follows: First, after taking the capsule, patients’ symptoms improve quickly, two days earlier than the control group. Second, CT scan result also shows that patients recover faster than the control group. Third, the capsule can shorten fever time.
Many Chinese embassies across the globe are providing overseas Chinese students with health packs containing an anti-epidemic guide and medical kits. Dr. Zhong suggested that identifying and isolating asymptomatic people is a vital strategy in containing the spread of COVID19.
According to the manufacturer, Lian Hua Qing Wen Capsule is recommended for treating influenza “syndrome of heat toxin attacking lung.” The symptoms are: mild fever or high fever, chills, muscle aches, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, dry throat, red tongue, or with a yellow or greasy tongue coating etc.
Lianhua Qingwen Capsules Ingredients:
Forsythia bark, honeysuckle flower, ephedra, fried bitter almonds, gypsum, Radix Isatidis, Mianma Guanzhong, Houttuynia cordata, patchouli, rhubarb, Rhodiola rosea, menthol, licorice and minimal starch.
Forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis are anti-inflammatory, antibiotic herbs. Processed gypsum powder is a strong anti-inflammatory. Mianma Guanzhong (Dryopteris root) is a detoxifying, anti-inflammatory vine. Ephedra, ma huang, often used for fighting epidemic disease, is detoxifying. All the herbs have toxin-clearing, anti-inflammatory effects. Rhubarb reduces fever and increases cleansing.
Forsythia, honeysuckle flower, and isatis root are bitter tasting, cooling broad-spectrum antibiotic herbs that treat skin, lung, and large intestine infections and breast abscess. Isatis also purifies and protects the liver. The cooling detoxifying actions of the herbs and processed gypsum, a mineral, is balanced with the diaphoretic action of ephedra. Ephedra is not Mormon Tea, a popular name, but is much stronger. It is not sold separately but is available in herbal formulas to drive out “evil wind” a category of illness that encompasses aches, fever, and epidemic germs that can affect our immune defense. Ephedra drives out colds and chills by increasing sweating. It is balanced with the laxative rhubarb. Do you get the picture? The invader is exploded out of the body with sweating and laxative action, while antibiotic herbs stop infection in its tracks.
The capsule contains yellow/brownish herbal granules and powder, with a “slightly fragrant aroma and slightly bitter taste.” Oral Dosage: 4 capsules at a time, 3 times a day. Each capsule contains 0.35 grams. It comes with a long list of precautions that will give you an idea of what to avoid while fighting a cold/flu infection:
Precautions:
Patients using prescribed medicines should check with their doctors before using this or any product. To avoid catching COVID19, spreading it even without symptoms, the most successful countries in defeating its spread have followed stringent national plans of testing, tracking and isolation of sick people. In Iceland where the population is small, isolated and most people are related to each other, keeping track of people was easy. That country quickly implemented testing/quarantine for everyone who might have been susceptible and all tourists. That is harder to do in “the land of the free and home of the brave” when they are foolhardy. When Iceland, Australia and other countries “opened up” gathering in large groups without wearing masks and avoided the vaccine the COVID numbers increased. Will COVID be “the disease of the dumb?”
