Anti-Viral/Anti-COVID19 solution for ingestion. 4 oz of ‘louched’ absinthe - 3:1 ice water/absinthe. 2 oz 94proof gin 2 oz tonic soda 2 oz lime juice concentrate 2 oz heavy cream 1-2 oz simple syrup top with ice & tonic soda BLEND to mix = 2 serving portion. 5 components of this cocktail are active against coronavirus, as well as against a variety of other microbes. It will cure coronavirus (including SARS-Cov2), influenza, rhinovirus among others (but not norovirus). It will relieve symptoms within 24hours, but can be repeated for residual symptoms . The most potent antiviral component of this concoction is ethanol. Alcohol obliterates coronavirus on contact , which is the basis for alcohol-based hand-wash recommendations, as well as for Lysol spray for surface decontamination. It is the basis for the Rutgers Listerine (26% etOH) study showing 100% eradication of SARS-CoV2 with 20seconds of gargle contact. With blood alcohol levels of ~0.1% typical for normal adult after cocktail, a significant cleansing anti-viral effect is seen. Alcohol’s importance throughout human history has included its sterilizing effects inside the human body. The next most potent ingredient is Artemisinin, which is currently in clinical trials for anti-COVID properties shown previously. Artemisinin has long been known for antimicrobial properties, specifically to malaria, intestinal worms, as well as for specific antibacterial effects. Absinthe is known for its high content of artemisia, most typically Artemisia absinthium, known as artemisinin grande. This varietal is banned in the USA due to its content of GABA receptor blocking chemical thujone. Since 2007 only absinthe with less than 10ppm of thuja is USA legal. The mechanism of action of artemisinin against COVID19 is its zinc super-accumulation properties in-vivo. Intracellular zinc increases CD4, T helper cells, increases interferon-alpha, IL-6, TNF-alpha and other cytokine production, and inhibits SARS-CoV2 enzyme activity directly. Safety of artemisinin levels found in absinthe products relies on 200+ year history of its ingestion with most adverse effects previously attributed to thujone. Absinthe also contain fennel and anise seed which lends it aroma and flavor over the bitterness of artemisia. The standard way of serving absinthe via “louche” method of slowly drip ice water over a sugar cube and letting cold sugar-water drip into a shot of absinthe causing whitish clouding – the Ouzo effect - creates an emulsion when 3:1 water absinthe unlocks essential oils present in absinthe holy trinity of botanicals. The next ingredient of interest is chloroquine, and its more refined compound, hydroxychloroquine. Tonic water typically contains ~67ml/L of quinine, which is a fraction of the therapeutic dosing of quinine (10mg/kg TID), but at low levels may still have antimicrobial effects used synergistically as here. Chloroquine has a narrow therapeutic window compared to hydroxychloroquine, and both may have arrhythmia inducing effects when used close to therapeutic range. All are potently anti-COVID in early studies from 2020. Vitamin C and Vitamin D have been shown to be active against COVID-19. Vitamin C specifically binds to and inactivates 3Clpro protease which is essential for SARS-CoV2 replication. Here we will use 60ml of lime juice, which is 21mg vitamin C (24% daily allowance). Vitamin D has been shown to improve pulmonary epithelial barrier maintenance thus preventing the most severe forms of COVID-19. In this concoction, I use Lime Juice concentrate as the source of C and heavy cream as the source of cholecalciferol. Though only 1 IU may be present in 2oz, vitamin D also helps Vitamin C be absorbed maximally. This cocktail is curative for COVID19 and symptoms, and preventative for SARS-CoV2 illness as well as a many other viral infections. This type of curative is NOT recommended by NIH, CDC, WHO, and most physicians because a cure for COVID19 removes the legal authorization for emergency use of experimental vaccines from which these organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and corrupt politicians/bureaucrats profit. This cocktail is antibacterial, anti-helminthic as well as antimalarial. It sounds too good to be true, almost like snake oil, that an enjoyable alcoholic cocktail could be a cure-all. But if you peruse references, you will find sound scientific backing for this claim. Anecdotally it cures symptoms miraculously in everybody to whom I’ve recommended it.
