Quercetin may be helpful against Covid19

Quercetin is a non-prescription supplement that is being studied for its ability to inhibit the coronavirus from entering the cell. This plant flavanoid is found in abundance in green tea, berries, broccoli and apples. This natural polyphenol. could prove very valuable in your arsenal against the coronavirus infection. It is currently being studied for its ability to close the doors where the virus tries to enter. The "doors" are the ACE 2 Receptors sites.

Researchers have been applying computer modeling techniques to identify molecules with structures that could conceivably block the “ACE2 receptors” on cells to which the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 attaches, much like a key fits into a lock. Once the virus enters a cell it hijacks the cellular machinery and uses it to reproduce and crank out more viruses. Based on its molecular structure, quercetin could be a “key” that fits the lock and blocks other “keys.”

Quercetin is a Zinc Ionosphere so it helps zinc get into the cell and the zinc prohibits the virus from entering. This is why I recommend you take Quercetin at the same time as your Zinc. 

Quercetin as a zinc Ionosphere is used increase zinc intra-cellularly and inhibit viral production. Therefore, this can possibly be used prophylactically.

Quercetin closes the door to the virus and does not let it enter the cell and therefore it cannot replicate.

Quercetin was used during the Ebola outbreak with some success. Dosage for ebola infections was 3-7 grams or 3000-7000 mg.

During this outbreak, I am personally taking 1000 mg of Quercetin, 3 times a day with zinc 30mg. You could go higher on zinc if you know you are deficient.

NSAIDs like Advil may make Covid19 worse.

More and more information is coming out about NSAIDs like Advil and Cortisone. It may be best to avoid them at this time. I know that there is pain assosiated with Covid19, so if you must take something, it is advised you take Tylenol or acetaminophen. However, if you are just trying to lower a fever, please be aware that a fever is your body's way of fighting off infections. So unless you are extremely uncomfortable, you should let your body work on the fight and allow your temperature to rise a little bit.

"The French government has reported that 'grave adverse effects' are linked to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).  They urged that the treatment of a fever or of pain linked to Covid-19 should be paracetamol."

And French Health Minister Olivier Veran (who has also worked as a neurologist) said that \"taking anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, cortisone...) could be an aggravating factor of the infection. If you have a fever, take paracetamol (Tylenol). If you are already on anti-inflammatory drugs or in doubt, ask your doctor for advice.\"\n\nFurthermore, anyone on ACE inhibitors, usually used for hypertension or diabetes should talk to their doctor about whether or not to continue to take them as a study in the Lancet proposed.

We therefore hypothesise that diabetes and hypertension treatment with ACE2-stimulating drugs increases the risk of developing severe and fatal COVID-19.

This is still being studied

but the rational as to why they are makes sense. If Querceetin closes the door on the virus, ACE inhibitors open the door, and actually create more doors.

Be cautious and reference this article in the Lancet:
