New research leads to possible easy-to-implement treatment for Covid-19.

Covid-19 attacks red blood cells and destroys them. The iron from the hemoglobin becomes a free radical floating around in your bloodstream.
Taking some sort of chelator might mitigate the damage caused by Covid-19 although it would not treat the primary cause of the illness, which is the virus.
Any seed such as wheat or beans is a natural chelator but the closer to raw or whole, the better.
Obviously, chelators would not be a preventative measure but would only be useful if Covid-19 were already destroying your lungs.
It would also seem possible to overdo chelation. Too much might strip your body of other minerals when you needed them to fight off illness.

But, but, but Barzilla, there are authoritative sounding statements and apparently there really are genuine anecdotes out there some where, why would you need real science in the face of all those words?
The lack of any actual data to back the proposition makes it suspect. Dr. Fauci has said all along that the anecdotes sound promising, but there is no actual research to back the assertion.

I am not sure what article you read. The point of the article I posted is that the iron from the destroyed hemoglobin floats around in your blood and causes tissue damage. Taking responsible doses of a chelator or antioxidant would seem to mitigate the damage.Barzillia said:...are you really suggesting to chelate (remove) the same iron stores that are ostensibly missing from heme molecules and causing tissue hypoxia?

"2) That little iron ion, along with millions of its friends released from other hemes, are now floating through your blood freely. As I mentioned before, this type of iron ion is highly reactive and causes oxidative damage. "
The hypoxia can't easily be helped until the virus is stopped by your immune system or a drug, but maybe it's possible to mitigate the damage from the iron released by damaged red blood cells.0 -
No, the author claims his conclusions are based on some studies.Barzillia said:The point of the article,as you have identified, is a conclusion based upon assertions only.
If there is evidence that this is the mechanism of injury, please bring it forward.
It would be easy to measure free iron levels, for example.
Having some extra antioxidants and natural chelating foods has no real drawbacks and might serve to keep the immune system stronger by cutting stress. It's not like the proposed treatment is risky. That's why I don't get where you're coming from. Is a patient going to die if they have some beans or black tea or vitamin C?0 -
I guess some here saw my post about my experience with Azithromicin. Like Barz says whats the source? This is starting to get very complicated and unsettling.
Vitamin C? Heck, have not seen a container (any brand, any store or pharmacy) in over a month. I will bet their is not a bottle left in NY State or Alcohol for that matter.
Ken, I know how you feel as here I sit at 77, COPD, Asthma and a Mitral Valve Implant. What the Hell, I have had a good life, even drove across North America in '89 and up the Pipeline in my Silverado.0
