Why Omicron Symptoms Are Just Like The Common Cold

Deseret News – The omicron variant of the coronavirus might have symptoms similar to the common cold because the new variant literally has a genetic code from the common cold inside of it. Per Reuters, the omicron variant likely acquired a mutation — one of its more than 30 mutations, mind you — from a snippet of genetic material from the common cold.

Covid Cure: Benadryl and Milk?

ONERESEARCH.ORG – Researchers looking for prevention and treatment strategies for COVID-19 that are not impacted by SARS-CoV-2 mutations published findings in Pathogens. Findings showed that a combination of diphenhydramine (the active ingredient antihistamine in Benadryl) with lactoferrin (an immunologically active protein found in human and cow milk) reduced SARS-COV-2 replication by 99% in human cells. The key to the researchers’ findings related to proteins called the sigma receptors. These receptor proteins are located in the...
