Scientists: Common sleep aid could be used to help prevent or treat COVID-19

I have been reading up for sometime on how to prevent* or reduce the severity of Covid if you are unfortunate enough to become infected with it. My most recent find for remedies is melatonin, an over the counter dietary supplement.

I had already discovered elderberry, zinc, vit D,C,&B1, aspirin, and n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) which was recommended in a Doug Batchelor video. My infectious dz doc recommended famotidine (Pepcid). My doc also recommended the zinc, vit D B1, aspirin, but I was already taking them!

Unfortunately, many "Never Trumpers" probably won't be interested in these as President Trump received them when he was sick with Covid. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was seriously trashed because Trump recommended it. We don't need to mention that HCQ was the drug of choice way back in 2003 when the earlier SARs pandemic was scaring everyone in the medical world but largely came to nothing in this country.

When President Trump contracted COVID-19 in October, he received melatonin as part of his treatment, along with zinc, vitamin D, famotidine and aspirin. He was also treated with experimental polyclonal antibodies, the antiviral drug remdesivir and the steroid dexamethasone.

*Prevent could mean symptoms so mild you do not even know you have and are spreading Covid.

BTW - After a recent site upgrade, a couple of forums disappeared - notably to me was the Health and Tech Support forums. Will they be coming back?

I've been taking D3 since it was recommended by the former CDC head as a good one. Also hammering C. 

Trump had the CCP Virus figured out before most everyone else did - Trump is the reason we are as prepared as we are right now. I agree with ya on that!

I am really thankful that he pushed as hard as he did for a vaccine. Without him it would have been a long time down the road before we had a vaccine.  I cannot wait till MN has it available for our group
