Corona- some old articles I stumbled upon

General

Restudying science in quarantine so teaching myself how to interpret peer reviewed documents.
I am specifically looking at the theory Chloroquine+Antibiotic + Zinc Supplement combo prescription some say is a cure.

  1. This article from 2014 says chloroquine Is a zinc ionophore. That is it enhances zinc uptake in cells.

  2. This one from 2010 says
    Increasing zinc intracellular concentration can impair replication of some RNA viruses. Corona is a RNA virus.

Zinc is also present in aphrodisiac food, and also widely used in sexual enhancement supplements.
Pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc in our diet.

so basically we should have more zinc intake…ama?

Caution is needed though.

So unasema malenge inaeza tumika kumanage corona?

That’s a really bad way to jump into conclusions. Don’t go and order a gunia of seeds. Don’t be like those Nigerians who drunk gallons of chloroquine after Trump suggested it’s being used in treating.

I’ll be selling the seeds. Lol

You need a chemical to push it into the cell and the only one that has a track history is chloroquine.
