I have this small book "Totalitarian Science" thats about the common aspects of "science" under totalitarianism. It talks about the pseudoscience that was behind some of mankind's biggest disasters of recent times.
Basically, politics should not enter into science at all. But it does.
All of the players in this disaster have an agenda that embeds the growing corporate control of the world into all solutions which are being put forward.
this virus has shown some of the weaknesses of how we develop new knowledge and what it is telling us - we're unable to just go about finding what works and doing it.
Instead we're listening to people who have vested financial interests who are obsessed with making lots of money on people in an emergency.
Also there is a large class of people who don't pursue facts logically, they have biases that they cling to aggressively which they use to defend their actions. But those biases are unscientific. I know some of these people.
Ozone therapy" is classic pseudoscience. Like solar roadways. Its junk science. Ozone is used to kill bacteria in water but in the body reactive oxygen sepecies (like hydrogen peroxide) are not a good thing at all. Brushing with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, yes. Thats good for your teeth. helps them be whiter. and reduces gum disease. But dont do that if your gums are bleeding, get your teeth fixed first.
Hydrogen peroxide is reactive oxygen species.
Sometimes ROS provide essential functions. And are useful in signaling.
We know that now. But "Ozone" is not going to cure coronavirus in any way. You can bet on it. the people who put it forward are basically failing to fix a serious problem and they feel they have to say something helps.
The ozone therapy may be a solution for Covid. Injecting ozone via intravenous, it achieves to improve the oxygenation of the blood besides reducing the inflammation and cytokine storms

If Google translate is to be trusted, it says IV vitamin C or administering ozone, not administering ozone through IV. I don't think the heart will appreciate if you inject a large column of air into a vein.
Yes,it is correct . Here, the hospital press don't explain how they do it.
Here it is the video where Dr. Alberto Hernández explains the method(3:08) and the number of patient treated. According Dr.Hernandez , they extract a blood sample from the patient. The sample mix with ozone and it reinjecting via vena.(There are subtitles)

No no no no..
Don't do it.
On the other hand, there are some ANTI-oxidant substances that may turn out to be useful.
I think several common ones are likely to. Not to be a cure, but likely to mitigate some of the severity of it.
Vitamin C might help significantly, Zinc also, people should be taking extra zinc and Vitamin C. I am.
But dont be an idiot and think that is a cure, it isnt, and having some false sense that it may be is actually dangerous.
Lots of things need to have more eyes focused on them.
There is one possible candidate that seems not unlikely to be both an antiviral and immunomodulator, plus it addresses a huge number of the things that COVID-19 does - in other diseases.
However there is also a nonzero chance, like there is with everything, that it might not be helpful at all. I personally think the chance is much larger that it helps than hurts but my own knowledge is missing the comprehensive knowledge of cytokines and immunology and experience that I would need to posess to be able to know. This substance is active against many viruses and also against many kinds of sepsis and seems to even have activity against acute lung injury and even ARDS, when caused by other pathogens and medical conditions.
Even though we are now five months into this pandemic, nobody has investigated it yet in the ways it needs to be investigated in COVID-19, a global pandemic. That raises a red flag for me.
If any of you are doctors and working on solutions you should know. Its the best known stilbenoid. You can buy it almost anywhere.
