Jansen (2006) writes that “the herbal tea approach to artemisinin as a therapy for malaria is totally misleading and should be forgotten as soon as possible.”

Artemisia Annua is an herb with anti-viral, anti-malaria properties & can increase platelets. Draggin Slayer Recipe is being modified for the current issues with this as one of its constituients. We will also be taking out some of the anti-inflamatories for right now. Some of them work to thin blood by reducing platelets. That is good at times but perhaps not now. If you go looking for Artemisia Annua make sure you distiguish it from Artemisia absinthium & Artemisia Vulgaris. They dont have all the desired properties. We have a few lbs of the herb and are making product now. FYI

I would like to encourage people to eat foods rich in vitamin k and to avoid foods that thin blood as that reduces platelets. Vitamin K, folate and iron are needed for platelet production.
This will not keep you from getting COVID19 nor will it cure it. But it may have some influence on the level of severity when you do contract it.
More vitamin k is not better, enough is much better than a feast. I also encourage you not to use vitamin k pills. They lack the other helpful constituients like zinc, iron, b vitimains and fiber that will also help. My favorites are spinach and Papaya but there are others. Google "foods rich in vitamin k and include them. Not magic but it can help platelet production.

More is not better and is in fact worse because it cannot be stored and any excess must be processed out which taxes your liver and renal system. A serving of spinach and a bit of celery will get you there. Or another combo but it must be every day to maximize platelet production.
You may consider avoiding unneccessary blood thinners right now. Aspirin and ibupropen thin blood by reducing platelet count. That is not what we want right now. You may want to talk to your Doctor about any prescribed blood thinners but do not use this information to cease prescribed drugs. As an example I still take my immuno suppresants every day. But I am eating foods to encourage platelet production and other little things as well"CONCLUSIONS:
Low platelet count is associated with increased risk of severe disease and mortality in patients with COVID-19, and thus should serve as clinical indicator of worsening illness during hospitalization."

OK. Looking for anti viral herbs to put in my pea shooter to take on this behometh. As a transplant recipient on immune suppressants evey day I am gathering all the peas I can get, I may have found a brick, it may be a feather. I hope it is a bazooka.
Here it is, Artemisia Annua. It is a well proven anti viral and is also used against malaria.
If you dont know the whole Malaria thing is because it act in similar way. It frees iron from red blood cells causing toxicity and oxygen depravation. It is the iron in your blood that carries oxygen. Cut loose the organs starve for oxyge and fail. It was not long ago I was on a ventilator fighting for my life. It pains me that so many are going through that now. I mean really. It is palpable in the air I breathe.
Beware though. This plant has cousins by simmilar names that are not anti-viral that are selling online as if the were. Others are useful for other things but you want Artemisia annua to fight this. Accept no substitutes. Artemisia vulgaris and absinthium do not have the same properties. Unfortunately that has not stopped people from selling it like hot cakes now. Unfortunately that sort of thing goes on often and gives herbs a bad name
I have contacted two growers and I will have some within the next few days to make teas and extracts. I will also do a Special Edition of Draggin Slayer with it. I will make it available ASAP.

OK, this is a weird post but these are weird times. This is a very interesting mushroom. Common name Shaggy Bracket.Latin name Inonotus hispidus. It is a cousin of Chaga, Inonotus obliquus (another great mushroom I use in Draggin Slayer).

We found a nice specimen in Tennessee last fall. I have dried it and I am doing an alcohol extract. Ill find a picture of it when we found it when I locate it. I know I have it.

This stuff is found to be anti viral against Influenza A & B. It is also been found to reduce viral load in AIDS patients.
It'll be ready in about two weeks.

Of course o one knows if it will be effective. Like so many other things there are no time to prove.

I will let it mature and include a bit of extract in my morning smoothie.If I catch the virus I may break into early. I am that guy. It cant hurt and can only help. It is certaily an immuno modulating ifluence and I am not hearing any better ideas. Of course this is only one bullet in the pistol I am bringing to a war. But I will take all the ammo i can get.

This may sound extreme to you. But it is just including a natural element into my diet after much study at an opportune time. Quite natural in the course of things.
