No actual knowledge, but apparently the way Coronaviruses kill your lung cells is by inhibiting their ACE2 receptors, so I doubt taking an additional ACE2 inhibitor would be helpful. C.f.:

Coronavirus destroys the ACE2 receptors as well as well kills the cell.

If you have an ACE2 receptor inhibitors that do not damage the cell it would be quite helpful as they would prevent infection while only temporarily disrupting RAS function.

P.S. stephen harrod buhner is a herbal “medicine” quack so stop posting his nonsense.

I swear contagion should win an Oscar for being dead on the money. Preferably a new category “called it”.

You mean besides the fact that they recommend taking herbs and hoping for the best?

Ironically they recommend ACE2 inhibitors which was one of the primary treatment protocols explored with SARD just form unproven herbal “remedies”.
