    From Above - "But researchers from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute found that heparin can actually bind to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 just as neutralizing antibodies would. The drug could be used as a decoy to trap the virus and render it useless. Once the spike protein is neutralized, the virus would not be able to hook up to cells. By blocking this handshake between the spike protein and ACE receptors at the exterior of human cells, heparin would prevent the virus from replicating, a process that takes place inside the cell."
    (i like that method of posting lengthy dealios, very nice)

    Heparin, and any other widely available and CHEAP treatments are non-starters in the medical-industrial complex and the support network that is The Media.

    they sure as hell don't want to forego pharma ad revenues.
    If it ain't patentable, it ain't going to be heparinin any time soon.

    But the information alone is enough to consult a good doctor if you haven't found your go-to yet, and get ready get set get it behind you, move on.

    The $fouch makes no money and gets no face time for heparin, no?

    good post, holmes. Heparin
