RE: Silver and Cannabinoids DESTROY Covid-19!
As I was completing my post: https://steemit.com/covid-19/@dwarrilow2002/covid-19-and-natural-ways-to-reduce-its-effects I saw this one that you made. I have referenced it and the article that you cited. If I had seen your article earlier, I would have suggested an edit to "Silver is known to be particularly effective against ALL types of microbes" to include a description of its effect on viruses.
Due to [preferential binding to the gp120 glycoprotein knobs], silver nanoparticles inhibit ... virus[es] from binding to host cells, as demonstrated in vitro.” This is true for HIV and a similar situation may occur for the COVID-19 spike proteins as there might be a similarity between the two.
Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag
While there isn't proof that I know of that silver will interfere with COVID-19 yet, I follow the least risk doctrine. If there is a less than 1 percent chance that it will help but that there is a 0 percent chance it will cause harm ... take the chance.
I watched your censored video (in addition to your dartboard) and gave it a thumbs up.
Thanks for your comment, vote, and link!
Have the authors of that study come out with their revised version yet? Last I heard, they had withdrawn that one, and promised to conduct a better study after hearing criticism from the scientific community.
While I haven't come across anything else, the statement that silver nanoparticles might inhibit viral infections is also echoed in this paper - Antiviral activity of mycosynthesized silver nanoparticles against herpes simplex virus and human parainfluenza virus type 3. There seem to be a number of studies that show Silver Nanoparticles interfere with viruses and by extension should help interfere in the infectability of COVID-19. As far as the lead author of this paper, he hasn't re-submitted this one but has submitted a paper on the markers for COVID-19's evolution: Mutation landscape of SARS-CoV-2 reveals three mutually exclusive clusters of leading and trailing single nucleotide substitutions
