You can bet that I will be using them if the situation arises.

Sarracenia purpurea extract is what the Native Americans used and it was supposedly an effective treatment. I picked up a small bottle of it just in case. It's right in the medicine cabinet along side of my prescribed Ivermectin and HCQ.

Checks grow the link. As an aside, Lomatium dissectum was used successfully for the Spanish flu but the Washoe tribe. Stephen Buhner has a great monograph about it in his book. Herbal Antivirals for Emerging Organisms

Wow! I know this plant, and it grows in abundance near my home. Good to know. Thanks.

According to a physician that was there during the Spanish flu, people on the verge of death recovered fully. It's quite a story. I keep the root both to make tincture or tea, or just blend it in juice or water. Flavor on the less than pleasant side ЁЯШП. I've used it successfully for viral "crud" flu like illness. Happy harvesting!

interesting. It would be interesting if a molecular biologist compared the yarrow plant tea to S. Purpurea. Hey, we need a randomized blind study! ha!

NOTE: I mentioned yarrow tea above in a post regarding WD Stokes herbal remedy for smallpox back in 1890's, re: Sunflower Storms link: https://ia601807.us.archive.org/26/items/b30478637/b30478637.pdf

Very interesting p-r OG. I saved that one in my herb file. It would be a good comparison to see if it is beneficial for eliminating small pox if used topically. I will be looking for it in on my hikes through the back country this spring and summer. Thank you.
