Newly obtained documents confirm yet again Fauci lied about COVID. Fauci’s NIH lab was a partner with Wuhan on a proposal to engineer a highly transmissible coronavirus in 2018. But he wasn’t alone, 15 government agencies knew about it and said nothing. Americans deserve answers. foxnews.com/opinion/great-…

There is a new Geert interview with Maria Zeee. Interview starts at 1 minute and ends at 19 minutes. I didn't watch the rest of the over hour long video.
He discusses his recent remarks on the tsunami coming. He says this variant he has been predicting will be so different from Sars Cov2 that it will be considered a new coronavirus, but it's from the damage of vaccinating into a pandemic. Prediction of when his variant will occur: 50% before end of April, 99% before end of June. Lots of science in the interview.

University Of Georgia Study Shows That Drinking Hot Black, Green Or Herbal Teas Help Reduce SARS-CoV-2 Viral Loads In The Oral Cavity
Nikhil Prasad Fact checked by:Thailand Medical News Team
Apr 09, 2024
The tradition of tea spans centuries and cultures, often revered for its medicinal properties and soothing effects. In recent times, amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have turned their attention to this age-old beverage, investigating its potential in combating the novel coronavirus. The University of Georgia's study stands out as a significant contribution to this evolving field, offering insights into how certain teas can reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the oral cavity.
Tea's Journey in Medical Science
Tea's medicinal use dates back to ancient times, where it was often prescribed for respiratory ailments, among other health benefits. Today, modern science has delved into the bioactive compounds within tea, such as polyphenols, catechins, and flavonoids, unravelling their potential in bolstering immune function and combating pathogens.
The Urgency of COVID-19 Research
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 sparked a global race to understand the virus, develop vaccines, and identify effective preventive measures. Amidst this urgency, researchers like Dr Malak Esseili at the University of Georgia focused on accessible and potentially impactful interventions, leading to the investigation of tea's antiviral properties.
Methodology: Screening Tea Varieties for Antiviral Efficacy
The study meticulously screened 24 commercially available teas, assessing their ability to inactivate infectious SARS-CoV-2 in simulated conditions. The teas were prepared as infusions and incubated with the virus, with subsequent analysis focusing on reductions in viral infectivity.
Key Findings: Tea's Effectiveness Against SARS-CoV-2
Among the teas tested, black tea emerged as particularly effective, showcasing a remarkable 99.9% reduction in viral load within a mere 10 seconds of contact. Other variants, including green tea, mint medley, eucalyptus-mint, and raspberry zinger, also exhibited significant reductions ranging from 96% to 99%.
Exploring Tea's Mechanisms of Action
The study delved into the underlying mechanisms through which tea exerts its antiviral effects. Tea polyphenols, renowned for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, were identified as key players in the rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2. This correlation between polyphenol content and virus reduction sheds light on tea's potential as a natural intervention.
Practical Applications: Drinking and Gargling with Tea
One of the study's practical aspects was the evaluation of tea's efficacy both as a drink and as a gargle. Researchers found that concentrated tea infusions, whether consumed or used as a gargle, could significantly reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the oral cavity, offering a simple yet potentially impactful preventive measure.
Tea as a Complementary Intervention
While emphasizing that tea should not replace medical care, the study highlights its potential as a complementary intervention. Tea's accessibility, safety, and historical use make it an attractive option for individuals seeking additional ways to protect themselves against COVID-19.
Dr Esseili commented, "Inactivating SARS-CoV-2 in the mouth and the throat matters because that potentially reduces the introduction of the virus to the lower respiratory system.”
TMN had covered numerous COVID-19 News articles extolling the merits of various Teas for COVID-19 since the early part of the pandemic.

Can a Cup of Tea Keep COVID Away? Study Finds 99.9% Virus Reduction
By Jennifer L Reynolds, University of Georgia
April 10, 2024
New research from the University of Georgia suggests that something as simple as a cup of tea can help in the fight against COVID-19.
Tea has been renowned globally for its many health benefits, and Malak Esseili, a virologist with the University of Georgia Center for Food Safety in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, wanted to know if it may also affect SARS-CoV-2.
When the first rumblings of the pandemic began, no one had to convince Esseili of the seriousness of the matter because of her background studying viruses. She immediately began looking for ways to help protect herself and her family. She needed something that was easily accessible and palatable, so she turned to the humble tea leaf. After a quick trip to her local grocery store, she was ready to begin her research.
“Having something that is accessible, easily prepared, and suitable for all the family would be ideal,” said Esseili, who was also inspired by her tea-loving kids.
Reducing the virus
Her team’s findings, out now in the journal Food and Environmental Virology, demonstrate how certain teas inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in saliva — in some cases by up to 99.9%. This is important because the virus infects and replicates inside the oral cavity, passing through the oropharynx before reaching the lungs.
“Inactivating SARS-CoV-2 in the mouth and the throat matters because that potentially reduces the introduction of the virus to the lower respiratory system,” Esseili said.
Esseili and then-graduate student Julianna Morris, who graduated with her master’s degree in food science in 2023, studied 24 different types of commercially available teas, some of which claim to aid in respiratory health. Of those, they found five that significantly reduced the virus in saliva: raspberry zinger, eucalyptus mint, mint medley, green tea and black tea, with black tea showing the greatest reduction. All testing was done in the laboratory in simulated conditions.
Hot tea as a drink or a gargle
The team tested the efficacy of tea both as a drink and as a gargle to provide an option for those do not want to drink tea but want a highly concentrated rinse that would provide the same benefits as drinking a cup of tea.
Researchers prepared a drinkable infusion concentration using one tea bag per cup steeped for 10 minutes, with no additions such as milk or sugar. All five teas reduced the virus by at least 96% within 10 seconds in the mouth. Black tea was the most effective, reducing the virus by 99.9%. When tested as a gargle, they brewed the tea at four times the concentration of the drinkable infusion, finding that all five varieties of tea reduced the virus by 99.9% within 10 seconds when gargled.
Clinical trials are needed to understand better what effect these results may have on a patient who is ill with COVID-19, Esseili said, stressing that tea is not a replacement for medical care. Still, the initial results are both promising and exciting for those looking to supplement medical care.
“At this stage, we are not suggesting tea as a stand-alone intervention against SARS-CoV-2, because the virus also replicates in the nose and may have already reached the lung by the time a person tests positive,” Esseili said. “But tea can be an additional layer of intervention that the patients and their families can easily adopt on a routine basis.”

We read about black tea as an antiviral several months ago I’m almost positive!
There’s something to be said for the old methods recommended by “mom and grandma”….hot tea and some good chicken broth when you’re sick actually works!
This research is the kind we need! Readily available antivirals that anyone can use and found in almost any store is the kind of stuff I love to hear about.
I wonder if brand, and strength of the tea matters?
I have a small collection of different teas and drink a cup almost nightly. Not so much when the weather warms up though.
I check tea sales at Kroger regularly. Actually, I check them wherever I shop lol.I saw this last night....some years ago I had food poisoning and have not been able to drink coffee since....
I drink 2 to 3 cups tea per day...
With all the supply chain problems....it is important to remember tea is not grown here...
It may become more difficult to obtain in the future...and the price may explode...
I believe welding oxygen is just as pure. There is only one type of supply chain, and it must be highly purified. Any impurities at high pressure could cause an explosion. The tanks will have different fittings, and the regulator is different, a flow meter instead of pressure, so good luck with that. I believe Argon uses something similar. Never use anything on the fittings like pipe dope. Never any kind of oil.Oxygen concentrators require a prescription...
OTC oxygen in cans is available on Amazon...
Sold for use for high altitude, athletes, quick recovery from exercise...and such... the CDC.... does not recommend for any health uses...but it is nearly pure oxygen....and far less expensive than medical oxygen....
Good points. Don’t drink the bathwater. Don’t eat yellow snow, either.True. He is very into climate change and vegetarianism. I just ignore that part because his science on Covid and the vaxx and the immune system, and now on bird flu is very much aligned with Geert's and makes a lot of sense to me. As I just told PoD in a post above, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!

When I was young a friend delivered oxygen. The same truck was used as he went from place to place.I believe welding oxygen is just as pure.

Our hospice services had a concentrator and a large tank as power failure backup. One service had small portable tanks refillable for travel, maybe two hours apiece. That concentrator could refill those tanks.

Only difference is tank fittings and labels.When I was young a friend delivered oxygen. The same truck was used as he went from place to place.

Yes, he serviced hospitals and welding supply shops on the same trip. How it was stored and handled afterwards would have been different.Only difference is tank fittings and labels.
We don't have a Kroger near us.. we get 100 bag boxes of a Twinings teas on Amazon(English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Earl Grey) we enjoy a variety of their teas...I have the loose leaf tins for twinings teas... those tins will hold 20 bags...we have have blank tins that we order from Harney and Sons (USA)...I cut part of the label from the various boxes and tape on the tins...we also enjoy their teas, Scottish morn ..Paris..and several others... Brodies (Scottish).blend great black teas...and Ahmad (London) black teas with fruit are to die for we love their Peach and Mango...DH drinks coffee in the morning but tea the rest of the day....so we keep a large stock of various teas..but a lot of the ones we like are blended in the UKI check tea sales at Kroger regularly. Actually, I check them wherever I shop lol.
You can pick up all kinds of teas by browsing the sales, if you just want to try out a new variety (I’m sure you’re already aware of that though )
I’ve discovered those with stevia in the blends I DO NOT like, unfortunately so those are a waste. Stevia makes me nauseous. Yogi brand has several teas, for different ailments, but I found out the hard way the ones I especially wanted are not for me.
I bought those before I realized what ingredient caused my stomach quease.
We’re updating our Extenuating Circumstances Policy and changing its name to make it easier to understand.
The revised Major Disruptive Events Policy will apply to all trips and Experiences taking place on or after June 6, 2024, regardless of when they were booked.
What’s changing in the policy?
Your continued use of the Airbnb Platform from June 6, 2024, constitutes acceptance of the updated Major Disruptive Events Policy.
- Foreseeable weather events at the reservation’s location are explicitly eligible for coverage if they result in another covered event, such as a government travel restriction or large-scale utility outage.
- The policy will only apply to events in the place where the reservation is located. Events that impact a guest’s ability to travel to the reservation are no longer covered.
Uh, yes they do. Thousands within the first couple of days. Some in the waiting room.“This adds to evidence that people don’t drop dead from getting their mRNA Covid vaccines,” Levy said of the study.
Do you order it from an herbal supplement store?There is a very interesting article at Encouragingangels.com
I have no way to bring it over and post it here
It deals with long covid and the use of nicotine patches to block the receptors..that venom can attach to....they are the same ones that nicotine can attach to
It appears that nicotine can have a major effect in helping people with long covid....
I know that many drugs and cosmetics use venom...so I have no idea if nicotine might effect some other Rx drugs also...
?¿?
Maybe someone can bring it over...
I do know that tobacco can be very useful as it has very strong drawing powers...I can draw the venom from bee stings...and can draw blood poison from an infected wound..using a wet tobacco poltuce....I keep tobacco with my first aid kit..
