Title: Could a friendly bacteria or virus work against the coronavirus?
Post by: nudephil on 01/04/2020 09:47:36

Charlie asks:

Is it possible that a virus or bacteria that is friendly to our bodies, or one that we have already dealt with and built up an immune system against, could be used to work against this virus and attack it? Or disarm it in any way and help remove it/eliminate it from our bodies, or give our immune system a helping hand so to speak, as a way of bad fighting bad?

What do you think?

There is evidence that part what makes corvid-19 a killer is that the inate immune response is not mounted against it, so that it multiplies unhindered after initial infection. Giving anything which might induce this response or simply boost the number of white blood cells may be helpful. The BCG jab has been suggested. If you google Medcram youtube this is looked at in updates 45 and 46. You would need to check out the links given to assess the validity of this for yourself.
