Thailand turns to medicinal plants to fight Covid-19

Thailand on Tuesday, July 27, approved the use of the medicinal plant green chirette to treat asymptomatic patients with Covid-19.

Green Chirette (Andrographis paniculata or Fah Talai Jone in Thai) has been used successfully to treat inmates in Thai prisons.

Deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek said the green chirette contains andrographolide, a substance that protects cells from the virus and reduces its multiplication.

The Department of Corrections has given green chirette to about 11,800 infected inmates, she said, and 99.02 percent of them have recovered.

According to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, patients should consume 180 milligrams of andrographolide per day, or 60 mg per meal, she said.

How come the world is not aware of the benefits of green chirette that cures covid-19?

Just because Western media and news networks receive large amounts of funding from pharmaceutical companies, which are often, for the largest ones, also shareholders in these newspapers.

So natural treatments are not being promoted, or even discredited, because they are all relying on vaccines.

For prisoners, anything cheaper, I doubt its effectiveness.

Another ace of the scientific method, ah no sorry, it's more like a conspiracy theorist delusion.

99% recovery is nothing extraordinary, the placebo has the same result. The disease mainly kills fragile people (elderly people, people with comorbidities) so they don't talk about it, it's simply because they haven't proven anything!!!
To know if Chirette works or not, it would simply have to be submitted to a serious scientific publication so that it can be analyzed by other scientists (that's roughly how scientific research works) this has not been done, I can say without any qualms that Chirette does not work (what is affirmed without proof can be denied without proof.)

Well, to answer everyone quickly, the Covid-19 vaccines are all still in the testing phase, but we already know that most of them are not effective against the Delta variant, for example in Israel, where there are more cases of covid and serious cases among vaccinated people than among unvaccinated people. Finally, they are starting to talk about it quietly in the mainstream media, continuing to make people believe that it protects against serious cases, which is a lie.

2 The US CDC realized that the PCR test could not differentiate covid from the flu and that the number of people dying from the flu had decreased by almost 80%.

So, since chirette has been a herb that has been known for years to treat the flu, it is also possible that the explanation comes from there...

I will answer ALFEDIC only with irony because of the Brodolini law (https://www.laculturegenerale.com/loi-de-brandolini/)

So yesterday a Thai authority was talking about a so-called effective drug against covid (it would just be enough to give it to infected people, unlike the vaccine, it must be given to a very large majority of the population) and yet today, we are talking about doubts or a delay in the opening of the Pattaya sandbox.

There would be an effective drug that should at least make the front page of the Thai newspapers, my thaigirl should call me to say that I could see her again soon, we should talk about the end of quarantine, end of covid insurance, etc...!!!

Well no, radio silence. Oh yeah, I forgot, it must be the conspiracy!!

The same thing with a glass of water? A lump of sugar (homeopathic granules)?
The placebo...
It does "harm" when people who are seriously ill use it as their only medication.
4,000 molecules are being tested worldwide by pharmaceutical companies, from start-ups to large ones.
The very small ones have a chance if they conduct robust studies... Double-blind and large cohort.

I agree 100% with Alfedic.

Covid-19 is a huge business and Big Pharma doesn't like anyone putting obstacles in its way...

The repressive measures put in place to combat the Delta variant, which is now nothing more than a bad cold, certainly more contagious, but much less lethal, are totally disproportionate.

This fear-mongering is no longer about health. Is
it conspiracy theories?! Alas, no, it's the sad reality, and we're paying the price. Let's hope this page turns as soon as possible...
