That is great info, never knew that some humans could do that.
Too bad the Limeys couldn't, it would of saved them from that nickname.

I feel it is ridiculous that the medication is being withheld when there is a chance it could help some people.
Pretty sure Big Pharma is the driving force behind this because why get behind a cheap medication that is no longer under patent when you can push a new and very expensive one that they stand to make millions from? We know Fauci and his cronies are in their pocket!

Do you have some source or perhaps a youtube video explaining the Bromelain thing (specifically the function in relation to what you said regarding that enzyme)?
It's something that happens after you're infected (inside the cell where the virus is replicating)? It doesn't keep the virus out of the cell like HCQ (giving it its great prophylactic attributes)?

...but HCQ can actually significantly lower the amount of virus that gets into the cell because it changes the Ph-value of the cell, which causes changes to the cell membrane as well as the ACE2-receptor, that prevent the corona virus from binding with the ACE2-receptor and thus getting into the cell (not 100% probably, but any virus that might still enter the cell can then be easily dealt with cause because of the lower Ph-value, virus replication is also hampered). This is the main reason why HCQ works so much better prophylactically (preventively) than supplements. It actually keeps the virus outside of the cell.

... I'm not sure exactly what Bromelain does other than that it's often included in Quercetin supplements to mitigate some of the inflammatory effects that quercetin can cause (or was it an anti-oxidant? Not sure anymore; either anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant). ...
