Study: Common asthma drug slashes Covid hospitalisation by 90%
Posted by freedomforall 4 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They were often prescribed the steroid drug - originally made by the firm AstraZeneca, which also makes Oxford's Covid vaccine.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"."

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.
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.
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!

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.
