A new study investigates the antiviral activity of four plant extracts. Among the plants studied are: green tea (Camellia sinensis), pomegranate juice (Punica granatum), black choke berry juice (Aronia melanocarpa), and elderberry syrup (Sambucus nigra). These medicinal plant extracts were effective in vitro for stopping viral attachment, reducing viral load, and stopping the spread of infectious SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and adenovirus.

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apples are ionophores for zinc cellular permeation.
    Aronia harvest starts next week. Reasonable estimate of extracted juice is around 100qt....and then we make sauce and jams from the rest of the pulp. Doing same with pears, apples, 3 types of grapes and an oriental cherry.

    And as we settle in for snow season, wine and booze shall begin in earnest. Winters are short above 45degree.

    Any in vivo test results? Many in vitro results don't replicate in living things.

      I read an article a while back by Dr. Mercola that did and ole spike was replicating. Autopsy's have shown ole spike had occupied ever organ in the body.
      Not sure why in some and others not...knowing that is key.

        The article said nothing about their anti-viral activity if use as part of a diet. Anti-viral activity in vitro has nothing to do with any anti-viral activity in vivo when the substances are metabolized and not in touched with the virus. The article indicated their use as an oral rinse for virus but SARS CoV 2 is a respiratory virus and those anti-viral substances would need to contact the virus. Caution about using as a nasal rinse, caution because some misunderstood Trump's question about whether substances such as bleach could kill the virus if put in the body.

    Up here in Canada we call chokeberry chokecherry. Where I live in Calgary, the bushes grow in abundance in the Bow River valley. The native people used it to make pemmican: dried buffalo meat with the dried berries all ground up together. Kept dry it wouldn't spoil. Nutritious food.

    I just finished selling property which I can no longer care for, leaving behind pine, blue spruce, well-established asparagus, concord vines, plantains, sugar maple, apple trees, raspberries... I would have kept it if I had been more physically able. The proceeds will enable my going Gulch plans within the scope of my abilities. Just because I'm no longer Mrs. Charles Atlas doesn't mean I can't survive using other than physical strength. Meanwhile, time to look into those juices. Already drink green tea.

    Another strong herbal antiviral is cistis incanus, or rock rose. NIH studies support use in the form of tea as an effective natural treatment for pneumonic infections. Produced mostly in Turkey and Bulgaria, it's readily available through online herbalists.
