CYTOKINE STORM the deadly danger by COVID 19 INFECTIONS and an old Egyptian medicine to be helpful.

COVID? This Ancient Medicine May Keep You Out of the Hospital, Study Finds A major clinical trial shows that an inexpensive anti-inflammatory drug used since ancient times can significantly reduce the complications and risk of death in COVID-19 patients. The lead researcher said the study brings “important hope” to the fight against coronavirus.

Colchicine was first used as a medicine by the ancient Egyptians as far back as 1500 BC. It is derived from the crocus plant.

In the 1820s it became popular in Europe as a gout remedy. And it’s still widely used for that purpose today. Colchicine Brings “Important Hope” to Coronavirus Fight In the new study, researchers at the Montreal Heart Institute looked at 4,159 COVID-19 patients. They discovered that those who took colchicine were:

25% less likely to be hospitalized - Half as likely to need a ventilator - 44% less likely to die

Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif led the study. He said that colchicine appears to help prevent the runaway inflammation—the so-called “cytokine storm”—that kills so many coronavirus patients. The results were so impressive that Dr. Tardif said that colchicine “could have a significant impact on public health and potentially prevent COVID-19 complications for millions of patients.”
