    While it has its limitations to be sure, still a study of major importance here. It’s odd they mention whey in the context of its impact on GSH in one short sentence, and clearly miss the importance of that as it applies to their results, but a very important study:

    Effect of Whey Proteins on Malnutrition and Extubating Time of Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients
    Abstract


    The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to a severe pandemic, starting from early 2020. Intensive care (ICU) management of the COVID-19 disease is difficult with high morbidity and mortality. Early nutritional support, especially with whey protein, seems to be crucial in this medical case. Thus, we aimed to assess the effects of an adequate nutritional protocol rich in whey protein on nutritional and inflammatory status, extubating time, and mortality of critically ill COVID-19 patients (CICP). Methods: A prospective single-center exploratory observational study was undertaken on 32 consecutive CICP admitted to the ICU of Santa Maria Hospital, Terni, Italy, and treated with whey protein-enriched formula. Patients’ demographics, nutritional status, indexes of inflammation, daily pre-albumin serum levels, duration of mechanical ventilation, and mortality were recorded.

    Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled. Ninety-five percent of them showed a gradual reduction in C-reactive protein (CRP) values and increase in pre-albumin levels after the whey protein-enriched formula. Prealbumin levels were not correlated with a better nutritional status but with a shorter extubating time and better survival. Conclusions: An adequate administration of whey protein during COVID-19 patients’ ICU stays can provide fast achievement of protein targets, reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation, and improving inflammatory status and ICU survival.

    Ivermectin given if you spike a temp after an exposure.... it works , it's not a miracle drug but could have saved lives, what they did is criminal... it will all come out.

    Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin

    I'm still in the "might be worth using along with other modalities" camp as data is mixed at best. Just published, largest best controlled study to date, didn't find benefits:

    Jama is corrupted. Just like the medical community, they go against the narritive they get threatened. Same as any MD on YT walks a fine line.
    Hear it from the docs themselves
    https://rumble.com/vtamrn-covid-19-a...ght-video.html

    Certainly not a miracle drug, but can save lives if given at the right time.

    Fauci is the big dog, you must follow the narritive if you want any funding, if you think docs were able to treat as they saw fit, watch the video, they had to follow the death protocol

    I'm well aware of those docs, followed it and them since the start, and not going to debate the topic here, as it's been discussed at length in prior threads. The vid covers various approaches, not just IVM, and they all continue to miss the key aspects of what drives the serious complications and death from vid, as covered in the OP linked article, as well as the best review on IVM.

    The way the main stream approached covid was as bad as it is for many others, that kill far more people, which I have been discussing 30+ years now, so welcome to my world...

    Good review paper on what I have been stressing that mechanism since the beginning (1), largely overlooked and not addressed during the pandemic:

    The Role of Glutathione in Protecting against the Severe Inflammatory Response Triggered by COVID-19

    Abstract

    The novel COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the world’s population differently: mostly in the presence of conditions such as aging, diabetes and hypertension the virus triggers a lethal cytokine storm and patients die from acute respiratory distress syndrome, whereas in many cases the disease has a mild or even asymptomatic progression. A common denominator in all conditions associated with COVID-19 appears to be the impaired redox homeostasis responsible for reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation; therefore, levels of glutathione (GSH), the key anti-oxidant guardian in all tissues, could be critical in extinguishing the exacerbated inflammation that triggers organ failure in COVID-19. The present review provides a biochemical investigation of the mechanisms leading to deadly inflammation in severe COVID-19, counterbalanced by GSH. The pathways competing for GSH are described to illustrate the events concurring to cause a depletion of endogenous GSH stocks. Drawing on evidence from literature that demonstrates the reduced levels of GSH in the main conditions clinically associated with severe disease, we highlight the relevance of restoring GSH levels in the attempt to protect the most vulnerable subjects from severe symptoms of COVID-19. Finally, we discuss the current data about the feasibility of increasing GSH levels, which could be used to prevent and subdue the disease.

    Melatonin and Long Covid 😷

    Melatonin was identified a while ago as a possible benefit to Covid, but it may also be valuable to those dealing with long Covid:

    "Studies have shown that in more than 30% of cases, secondary neurological symptoms, including headache, anosmia, myalgia, hemorrhage, seizure, and stroke, persist for a long period of time. This condition is defined as “long COVID”.

    In the current study, the scientists have investigated whether melatonin and melatonin-derived medicines can prevent the brain entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-expressing mice."

    Interesting and potentially important paper below that even mild covid may damage the brain. I didn’t see a mechanism offered for the statement “Local microglial cytokine secretion contributes to at least part of this dysregulation” underneath the increase in pro inflammatory cytokines, but note the statement:

    “This complex cellular dysregulation is thought to contribute importantly to cognitive impairment, and anti-inflammatory strategies correct this multicellular dysregulation and rescue cognition in disease states such as those occurring after exposure to neurotoxic cancer therapies”

    But, do summarize the macro issue to be addressed:

    “Systemic inflammation-induced neuroinflammation, consequent glial dysregulation and impairment of neural function is a principle that extends beyond COVID.”

    That systemic inflammation by Covid is driven primarily by the over production of ROS, and why some have concluded the mechanisms of damage, serious complications and death, and I suspect long covid too, is severe GSH depletion via both direct and indirect mechanisms.

    I’m more convinced of that now than ever and supportive data continues to mount from my article on the topic:

    Good vid via Dr. Campbell on recent review paper on vite D. If I could only use three things, D, NAC, and lactoferrin would be it. Luckily, we are not limited to three. If D alone was of value to covid, every single person who entered the hospital with covid should have been given an IV of D, C, zinc, and NAC at a minimum, and they, along with lactoferrin and others, recommend to people ongoing during covid:
