S2 prescription no longer needed for Linhua

A video is going around in the messenger about the traditional Chinese medicine used by MMDA chairman BenHur Abalos in his medicatioin when he contracted the dreaded viral disease after getting this in the covid ward.  This is FDA approved and marked OTC   This is Linhua and costs only P180 per box and is available at Mercury.

Linhua launched in Philippines

In the midst of resurgence, hospital capacity exceeded (no more rooms available and uncertainty about the vaccines (supply safety, and efficacy) this could be the breakthrough.   

Scientific study on LinHua

Before the good chairman took the medicine when he started having the symptoms he had the med double checked (beginning with former Sen. Bong2) and its efficacy was confirmed.  The conclusion of scientific studies say:

Unlike evidence-based modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is an empirical medicine developed on accumulated clinical observations gathered over centuries of practice. It not only deals with the etiological factor to eradicate the pathogenic microbial, but also supports the body's immune function to help fight the disease and ameliorate its consequences. In ancient times, when facing infectious disease, specific pathogens could not be identified; however, doctors could observe the patient's sign and symptoms, assess the condition and develop strategies and formulas for the different stages of the illness.

So far there are over 133 ongoing registered clinical studies on TCM/integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The results of 16 published papers on this topic (not including case reports) and a systematic review on 8 clinical trials (804 cases) have suggested that integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine can reduce the incidence of severe or critical events, improve clinical recovery and help alleviate symptoms such as cough or fever16. Two papers17,18 reported the detailed information of its adverse reactions during the treatment for COVID-19.

Mostly recommended in Chinese hospitals

Maybe this is the reason why China does not need vaccines and/or why covid19 is under control  

SHIJIAZHUANG CITY, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Recently, China’s National Health Commission and State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly-published The Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 (Trial Version 8), recommending that Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, a Chinese traditional medicine, be used during the medical observation period of COVID-19 patients.

Lianhua Qingwen’s selection to the protocol demonstrates the recognition from Chinese authorities of its outstanding performance to control COVID-19 in China. It is learned that during the pandemic, Lianhua Qingwen has been widely used in designated hospitals and medical institutions in China, and has become the most recommended Chinese medicine in the COVID-19 treatment programs from the country’s provinces and municipalities.

Tracking superspreader events

The news and literature on covid 19 point out the following:

1.  The spread follows the Pareto principle that only 10 to 20% of those infected were responsible for the spread;

2.  That transmission occurred in enclosed places like bars, restaurants, choirs, places of worship, but none occurred in theaters libraries or theme parks.  

3.  In factories, spread took place where there is refrigeration as  in meat packing plants dairies  where it is cold.
