COVID-19 Tips: Although the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus originated from China and also spread to the rest of the world as a result of the incompetence and selfish attitude of the Chinese government, China did manage despite all the cover ups and censorship, to control the number of infections and fatalities after weeks of lockdowns. Even now, despite there still being many cases of infections, reinfections all the country which is being concealed, China has still maintained low figures unlike the United States and Britain, where despite claims of the epidemic peaking by government and health authorities, the number of new infections and deaths are ever spiraling out of control on a daily basis and it is expected to get worse.

Many of the current medical guidelines used in US and UK to treat COVID-19 involved the usage of many unproven antivirals which are very toxic.
Despite all the studies that originally originated from China claiming efficacy about the use of various antivirals such as Favipiravir, Lopinavir-Ritonavir, Hydroxychloroquine and Interferon-α, new credible studies have revealed that none of them are able to treat the COVID-19 disease.
However China did use TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs in treating the various stages of COVID -19 and it seems to have worked.
However China concealed many of these TCM formulations and even did not allow any of the clinical trial and studies to be made public so that it would not fall in the hands of other countries. China has also made it illegal to export any of these TCM herbs and formulations out of the country.
In fact it has emerged that China has been playing a very conceited game of not revealing a lot of critical details and studies about the COVID-19 disease to the rest of the world.
One of the main TCM protocols that China had used and is still using today is a modified version of the Qingfei Paidu decoction(QPD).

This formulation was shown to have demonstrated the highest efficacy of eradicating the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and also preventing or reducing the cytokine storms according the Chinese health authorities.
It was found to be highly effective in treating those with mild to moderate symptoms and also prevented patients from progressing into severe stages.

The Chinese authorities are even using same modified formulation today in which pre-packed versions of the herbs are given to its citizens where it is mandatory to consume the concoctions made by boiling these herbs.

Outside of China, with the exception of countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan and certain other South-East Asian using some of these TCM herbs, the rest of the world is totally oblivious to the presence of these TCM herbs.
There are about 16 clinical trials ongoing on TCM herbs however many or them are having problems procuring all the necessary ingredients and also most do not have access to right formulations.

Most health authorities in Western countries should focus on studying and conducting clinical trials to test the efficacy of these TCM herbs and also include it into their medical guidelines.
Thailand Medical News has access to two TCM suppliers who are able to supply readers in the US and UK only, the modified Qingfei Paidu decoction(QPD) TCM formulation at a price of US$ 320 for two packs of the pre-prepared dried herbs (enough for a single person for a 4 day dosage) not including DHL charges. There are discounts for bigger orders. However there are only limited stocks. Those interested are advised to email directly to the supplier with your contact address and telephone detail to viktorthanis@gmail.com . Anonymous emails and time wasters will not be entertained. However Thailand Medical News does not make any claims that these TCM herbs can cure, treat or help with the COVID-19 disease and readers have to do their own due diligence and also consult a licensed doctor preferably prior to consuming anything to treat COVID-19 disease.
