Better than Ivermectin, over the counter, totally natural substances

the main reason why Ivermectin helps is b/c it is a proteolytic that inhibits the 3CL protease in SARS-COV-2.

All coronaviruses, and some other mRNA viruses as well, are ESSENTIALLY dependent on the 3CL (3 chymotrypsin like) Protease in order to replicate. It is the "main protease". SARS-2 uses to cleave polyproteins for replication at ELEVEN highly conserved sites on the virus (highly conserved means they don't tend to mutate since they are essential to replication).

This is why all the drug companies are developing drugs in pill form that are 3CL protease inhibitors. And they are showing promise of course.

It has been determined Ivermectin is not the strongest 3CL inhibitor out there, which is why it works so well in prophylactic use and for early treatment when viral loads are low, and why over time the recommended dose by those doctors using Ivermectin has increased every couple months as they have found higher doses necessary for full effect.

YET when a person is already very sick and their viral load is high, ivermectin has proved less effective and requires many other therapeutics in combination to help them recover.

There are 2 other proteases involved in SARS-2. One other for replication (Papain like protease (PLpro) and one that serves as an alternate pathway to invade cells when the virus is blocked by the immune system (trans-membrane protease serine 2 (tmprss2).

Fortunately, Mother Nature has highly potent protease inhibitors, including one's that target these ALL of these specific SARS virus proteases.

1. A protease inhibitor more potent than Ivermectin that DIRECTLY targets 3CL protease is an herb from the Indo China region that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years called Bakuchi (Psoralea Corylifolia in the west). A wonderful company called Hawaii Pharm sells it in tincure form.

2. Vitamin E and Selenium combined DIRECTLY inhibit PL-pro and to some degree 3CL

3. Fisetin (bioflavonoid from strawberries) DIRECTLY inhibits TMPRSS2.

All polyphenols (Quercetin, Reservatrol, ECGC (from green tea) are general protease inhibitors and are helpful. Interesting isn't it that Quercetin and ECGC have been used around the world with Zinc to cure people of SARS-2?
