Natural medicine is getting official recognition outside of the US—when will our government wise up? Action Alert!
For many months now we’ve been telling you about natural medicines that can help in the fight against COVID—medicines that our government not only refuses to recognize, but actively undermines. This is in stark contrast to other places in the world that are harnessing the power of natural medicine to promote the health of their populations. Cronyism is keeping us sick and our medicine expensive—this situation has to change.
Thailand just cleared the herb Andrographis paniculate to treat early COVID infections. Research demonstrates the stunning ability of this herb to fight the virus. Laboratory research in Thailand found that the plant’s extract was effective at killing the virus and preventing it from multiplying. Clinical trials on human subjects began soon after, which found that patients treated with Andrographis showed improvement after just three days of treatment.
How did this research come about? In general, Thailand owns the intellectual property rights on traditional Thai medicines like Andrographis. In the US, it is generally not possible to patent natural medicines, so there isn’t an incentive for companies to fund the exorbitantly expensive studies necessary to win FDA approval. And without FDA approval, no claim can be made for a medicine to treat a disease.
Thailand isn’t alone. China includes Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) in its protocols to treat COVID-19. This includes a host of herbs and botanicals such as honeysuckle, liquorice, astragalus, orange peel, and yam.
In fact, most promising treatments are not being studied at all in the US and have little chance of attracting the necessary attention and funding with the onerously expensive FDA approval process standing in the way. Here are a few key examples of items that have tremendous potential but are being ignored by Pharma and its allies in government (more elaborated explanations for these treatments can be found in this article): potassium, zinc, quercetin, oregano oil, monolaurin, silver, and vitamin D. More information can also be found at our COVID-411 page.
The case for vitamin D is particularly persuasive. A study of 154 COVID patients found that 97 percent of severely ill patients requiring ICU admission were vitamin D deficient, whereas only 33 percent of asymptomatic cases were deficient.
Hospital protocols in the US are even including vitamins D, C, and B, as well as zinc and melatonin, in their COVID-19 treatment protocols.
Yet, as we’ve been telling you, federal agencies are attacking doctors and clinics for sharing basic information about the benefits of these medicines for COVID-19. The FTC and FDA sent a warning letter to a company advertising the benefits of Andrographis. Other letters have been sent to those discussing the benefits of vitamins D and C. Why? Because these treatments don’t have FDA approval to treat COVID.
The result of all this is that promising natural treatments are completely ignored by our health system. If we have any hope of improving healthcare in this country, this arrangement needs to change.
Action Alert! Support our legislative efforts that seek to reform a healthcare system that blocks access to natural treatments that generally cannot go through FDA approval. Please send your message immediately.
There are natural treatments for COVID-19 as an alternative to harmful drugs and untested “vaccines” (which are really medical devices, as there are no actual pathogens in them). Why aren’t these proved remedies not being promoted to the public?

Took andrographis and black elderberry syrup for my bout of covid. It helped. Did not use any other therapies
REMEMBER, the FDA and their ilk ONLY have authority over interstate commerce, and not intrastate commerce.
Any natural assistance people can get, needs to be allowed; certainly the ‘possibilities’ need to be considered in conjunction with main stream treatments. Why not?? What’s the harm?
I live in Austin, TX, where the Covid death and infection rates are far more than 10 times those of Thailand. Thailand is about the size of Texas. Austin is a fraction of the cases we have in Texas. How is it that Thailand is controlling this pandemic so much better? We should be paying more attention to natural cures for all disease.
I’ve been actively searching and researching all papers, webinars, courses and classes all summer trying to find what studies and clinical results are showing to work to help fight off or lessen the effects of an infection with COVID-19. Almost ALL of them recommend the things mentioned in this action alert with studies and clinical results to back them up. These are measures that carry none or very little adverse events. Why in the world are we not being able to share this valuable information? It is truly criminal. It has to stop.
This is great information!
Not forgetting.. search..” Vitamin D and COVID 19: The Evidence for Prevention and Treatment of Coronavirus (SARS COV2)’ Professor Roger Seheult, MD explains the important role Vitamin D may have in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Dr. Seheult illustrates how Vitamin D works, summarizes the best available data and clinical trials on vitamin D, and discusses vitamin D
I have found that Vinegar and Ginger are viracides Anti inflammatory foods as detailed in Michelle Babbs ,Anti Inflammatory Eating Made Easy along with Blueberries and Blackberries as stated in Dr Cass Ingram,s The Wild Berry Cure help reduce inflammation which is a symptom of infection with Covid 19.
Let the Truth be told.
Unless Biden breaks the link between Big Pharma & the CDC
& the link between the FDA & Big Pharma, nothing will get better.
We also need the return of free speech by the banning of censorship
by the Media & the Social Networks.
I agree with Robert comments about Biden and Big pharma and others, we’ll loose even more rights due to this virus. His two appointments who were both connect to FDA,
Vilsack and David Klesser are not choices that will benefit us!
Natural remedies, including herbs, acupressure and homeopathy, are safe and useful. Western medicine can work with both modalities.
Our US healthcare system needs to be reformed immediately! It needs to include individual choice about how we choose to heal and maintain our health. Natural healing/treatments needs to be recognized for what it truly is, proven and natural. It is our right to choose which treatments we feel we want and need. It is unconstitutional and immoral to force US citizens to take only medicine or treatments prescribed by our pharmaceutical industries and government!
support VITAMIN D and C
Wake up to NATURAL COVID-19 therapies.
Down with BIG PHARMA!!!! Many natural solutions better than chemicals.
Natural medicine , Chinese herbs have saved me after what Big Pharma provided for me caused a plethora of health issues. Please..it is far beyond time to continue to allow Big Pharma to control all of our health care, choices etc.
Additionally, this country, and wonderful statesmen that I admire such as Adam Schiff are supporting censorship of anyone or anything including scientific research.. that does not go along with what Big Pharma pushes. This is terrifying and disturbing.
This must change.
Support legislative efforts that seek to reform a healthcare system that blocks access to natural treatments that generally cannot go through FDA approval.
The FDA is part of the crime syndicate that has infected every branch of our “government.”
We shall save the earth and the earth shall save us!

God put natural remedies on earth for us to treat anything that causes harm, please open your eyes to the truth and help us take back our heath without harmful side effects, natural is the only way to go.
Amen!
