Dr Richard Bartlett has discovered a silver bullet therapy for covid 19. It has to do with using a type of steroid in an inhaler. This is kind of what Japan, Taiwan and Singapore have used. Inhaled steroids used for asthma can cure the inflammation in the lungs from covid 19.

He seems very convincing, let's hope it's true.

How many other Covid-19 "silver bullets" have we heard about over the last 3 months? (Did not bother to watch the video).

I think the inflammation is a reaction to the blood clotting. I think that is the REAL key.

It is a short video and not at all boring. To sum it up, Dr Bartlett has been using a steroid inhaler like a nebulizer that asthma patients use. This cures the inflammation in the lungs which is the main reason people get incubated. He has cured covid 19 patients with underlying health conditions such as cancer. Currently Dr Bartlett claims a 100% cure rate with almost instant results.

Dr Bartlett says that this is the treatment that Japan, Singapore and Taiwan use. All of these countries have a huge population with very little covid 19 deaths.

Most people who die have a cytokine storm where their own body acts in response to the virus in a huge inflammatory storm in the lungs. There are lots of therapies that focus on reducing this immune response to allow the lungs to function. It's a bit counter-intuitive but many immunocompromised patients do better due to the lack of inflammatory response.

Re immunocompromised... quite interesting.

I can see merit in the argument IF you catch it early. That makes having a pulse oximeter on hand important so that you can catch the low oxygen level early and start a round of inhaled steroids to avoid being put on more invasive treatments.

Yes. Diagnosing any illness, early, is 100% a good thing.
