Send us a text
Join us for an exciting episode that explores the incredible potential of plant-based compounds as antiviral agents against COVID-19! We’re diving into a treasure trove of research that highlights both traditional medicinal uses and modern scientific discoveries showcasing how various plants can help combat this virus.
Discover the fascinating mechanisms by which these natural compounds work! From turmeric and black cumin seeds to ginger and garlic, learn how they can inhibit the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into our cells or disrupt viral replication. We’ll delve into specific plants like Radix Bupleuri, kudzu root, and artemisia annua, each with unique properties that could turn the tide in our fight against COVID-19.
But that’s not all! We’ll also discuss the promising role of metformin, derived from goat’s rue, in reducing viral load and the risk of Long COVID. With recent studies showing a significant reduction in Long COVID risk, this is a topic you won’t want to miss!
As we celebrate these natural warriors, we’ll emphasize the urgent need for further rigorous research and clinical trials to validate their efficacy and safety. Join the call for action to support funding from organizations like the FDA and NIH to explore these affordable antiviral options.

This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
