Good news, it seems this week, Science wants to get back on the tracks ; simple plants and fungi could cure the pandemic, all supported by top scientific articles from the best journals.
It all starts with Kew Garden in the New Phytologist reminding that Hydroxychlorochine got its inspiration from the tree Cinchona pubescens used in the West to cure malaria since Louis the XIVth.
Then the Lancet with Echinacea purpurea, the journal Nature Redeploying Plant Defences.… quoting among others the famous Artemisia annua to replace Hydroxychloroquine….
Then come Fungi, which seems to become the new hype communication trend at Kew, reminding that the first antibiotic was Fleming’s penicillin and the many more later were also inspired by fungi.
Now they remind us, some 9 months after the start of the pandemic, that fungi could also be antiviral ! Fomes fomentarius , which they quote as Fomes officinalis, could be the absolute antiviral, among many others less efficient ones (turkey tail, shiitake, reishi…)
It is amazing how essential news can pass unnoticed when no pressure pushes you. When SARS and Mers were only ordinary influenza., Paul Stamets the brilliant mycologists currently researching on pandemic cures since 9.11, published in September 2012 this paper on Agarikon and our old growth forest as vital for National Defence.
These fungi only grow on trees which are more than 50 years old. This is the reason why they were common before the XXth century. The druids ceremonial hats and protective underwear wer often made of their felt.
In November, just before the pandemic, I have been interviewed by #ClaraLefort @Billionaire on how to cure influenza and to remind all the different efficient delicacies the fantastic fungi world can offer us . By the way my 88 year mother insisted to go out shopping during all the lock down. She is taking our #LoxLife #ImmuneShield supplements while eating shiitake and portobello mushroom everyday.
What else?
Comment sauver les abeilles des néonicotinoides ? En protégeant les vieux arbres car ce sont les seuls à recéler des champignons capables de soutenir leurs défenses immunitaires pour pouvoir résister aux produits chimiques, aux pesticides et à la disparition de leur nourriture dont nous sommes la cause principale.
Protégeons ces vieux arbres, car de leur présence dépend celle des abeilles.
