He probably means this: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/fda-expands-access-to-...

But that has nothing to do with HIV, neither do garlic and beetroot have anything to do with nitric oxide.

Validated at least by reference, which he has given. Upvoted. We need more than this such as references to it or disclaimers for it, niether of which I can find. That is not to detract from the existence of the paper which he referenced.

Whether nitric oxide has much to do with health is anothre question. I believe one of the reasons viagra works is due to nitric oxide, so perhaps it's we should be viagring instead.

Mind you the important part is where it's enhanced, and by how much.

And we're taking purified alicin at nearly toxic doses. In vitro. Yes, garlic can kill. And it was described to be active in vascular tissue not lungs.

Now Viagra is an interesting bet, but it also does not reach lungs or non-vascular cells.

I posted links to one of the in vitro studies here, and in the comments I posted the press release for the FDA approval:

Your information is wrong and misleading. It’s irresponsible for you to post stuff like this.

This goes to "COVID-19 Stack: Research and discussion on supplements and medications relating to COVID-19!

No mate, post a precise link. This one goes nowhere and I still don't believe you.
