Study: Common asthma drug slashes Covid hospitalisation by 90%
Posted by freedomforall 3 years, 2 months ago to Business
"Budesonide, which is sold as Pulmicort, also shortens recovery times from the infection, according to new research.
Asthma drug budesonide, sold as Pulmicort, reduces the likelihood of needing hospital care for Covid, a study has found
The steroid is typically given to people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is sold under the name Pulmicort.
Pulmicort is inhaled through a puffer, but budesonide also comes in tablets, granules or rectal foam for a range of conditions, according to the NHS.
Oxford researchers were keen to study the medicine when they noticed few people with chronic respiratory disease going to hospital for Covid in the first wave.
They were often prescribed the steroid drug - originally made by the firm AstraZeneca, which also makes Oxford's Covid vaccine.
In the STOIC study, half of the 146 participants were given budesonide within seven days of having coronavirus symptoms.
The 28-day study found those who inhaled the drug had a 90 per cent reduced risk of urgent care or hospitalisation compared to those on "usual care"."

Don't know how we'd hook up though. Oh well.
Thanks for the tips in your post.
One of the points of focus last week was that of Ionosphores. We are growing natural products to facilitate "metals" absorbtion as well as looking at the soil for natural microbes which serve the same functions. I'm going to bring allergies and asthma to the "table" as well. We are already looking at "gut" health through fermented foods in dealing with these afflictions. Just as a reference, I watched a video of Sherri Tenpenny's explanation of eosiniphils and cytokine reactions....WOW!

I know we have talked about manufacturing for my small business. Tomorrow we debut our first disinfection prototype at a festival here in Florida for over 2000 people. What I explained in the previous paragraph is a major part of the premise behind our company (http://www.chem-freesolutions.com and then click on Our Product across the top banner). We haven't forgotten you and are about to reach out to companies like yours with an update for you, johnrobert2, and the rest of the Gulch.
"Gut health" medications work on the premise that I discussed earlier in this response and earlier in this thread. That problem has been "solved" even if the underlying science is only partly understood by others (and almost completely understood by me). Their work helped me formulate my understanding.
Prosper tomorrow!
imo, the death numbers are so inflated with other causes redefined as COVID that very few deaths would have been prevented by any therapy. Those deaths could have been delayed by therapies, but would have occurred anyway because they were really from other causes, A greater reduction in deaths would have occurred if people had not been discouraged from getting treatment for other conditions due to fear of COVID.
Just my opinion.
According to death rate comparisons to other years and projections for 2020, the number who died in 2020 is only about 16,000 deaths more than the expected total if there had been no COVID at all.
I did listen to an interview with a doctor from somewhere in South America where they treat allot of people for parasites with ivermectin.. He stated it was curing people at all stages of the virus even with comorbidities. That didn't mean something else wasn't going to kill them but they were saved from covid.
This article indicates that more recent studies show it to be effective:
https://www.theburningplatform.com/20...
A small (n=72) study comparing ivermectin, ivermectin plus doxycycline, and placebo found no symptom benefit for patients with mild disease despite faster viral clearance and reduction of inflammatory markers.107 A retrospective cohort study (n=280) suggests lower mortality, especially in patients with severe COVID-19 lung disease, but neither length of stay nor extubation rate were affected.12 In general, these and other studies of ivermectin for COVID-19 had limitations such as small sample size, varying doses, open-label or retrospective design, confounding medications, and unclear COVID-19 severity and outcome measures.12,50
NIH guidance recommends neither for nor against ivermectin due to insufficient evidence.
I don't just "believe" anything the US government "health" (propaganda) agencies tell us until it is analyzed and corroborated by unbiased scientific sources with no agenda or conflicting financial interest. They have been lying and ignoring whatever doesn't follow their agenda for years. The most recent episode has made this obvious to even the most skeptical.
Here is a story .
"There is no evidence that ivermectin works on C19.. There is a concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.."
Source, Merck, manufacturer of ivermectin.
Merck donates ivermectin to more than 300 million people annually for river blindness at higher doses than used for C19.
On a poster in a friend's office in the 70's:
"If you are faced with a situation you can't understand, look for the financial interest."
It was probably the best advice I ever received. I wish I had always followed it.
The link that you had was prior to that.

So I go in to get my Pulmicort, and they say it's $600 ... I said "I wasn't asking for sexual favors"
He replied: If you did, I'd have offered the rectal Foam and one of our "Models" as a delivery system, for $1,000
I thought about it, and said, sure...
I get a private room. a 300lb Male "model" walks in, bends over and asks me to inhale sharply!

RECTAL FOAM? Honestly! Next time I go to the pharmacist... NO MATTER what it is...
I am going to have to ask "Do you have that in a RECTAL FOAM?"
My only fear is the response: "Sure, what flavor? I've got Cayenne, Peppermint, and Jalapeno"
