I wonder if HCQ, Ivermectin or other antivirals work on smallpox?

You can bet that I will be using them if the situation arises.

Sarracenia purpurea extract is what the Native Americans used and it was supposedly an effective treatment. I picked up a small bottle of it just in case. It's right in the medicine cabinet along side of my prescribed Ivermectin and HCQ.

interesting. It would be interesting if a molecular biologist compared the yarrow plant tea to S. Purpurea. Hey, we need a randomized blind study! ha!

NOTE: I mentioned yarrow tea above in a post regarding WD Stokes herbal remedy for smallpox back in 1890's, re: Sunflower Storms link: https://ia601807.us.archive.org/26/items/b30478637/b30478637.pdf

Very interesting p-r OG. I saved that one in my herb file. It would be a good comparison to see if it is beneficial for eliminating small pox if used topically. I will be looking for it in on my hikes through the back country this spring and summer. Thank you.
