https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiviral_drug

Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections rather than bacterial ones.[1] Most antivirals are used for specific viral infections, while a broad-spectrum antiviral is effective against a wide range of viruses.[2] Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogen; instead they inhibit their development.

Garlic can prevent infection inside or outside the body. Laboratory studies confirm that raw garlic has antibacterial and antiviral properties. … Cooking garlic, however, destroys the allicin, so you'll need to use raw garlic to prevent or fight infections.

Due to their content of boron, borax and boric acid have basically the same health effects, with good antiseptic, antifungal, and antiviral properties but only mild antibacterial action. In plants as well as animals boron is essential for the integrity and function of cell walls, and the way signals are transmitted across membranes.

So…….. what I have done…… when a flu headache starts and throat gets scratchy…….

1. dissolve a tablespoon of laundry borax in a pint of filtered water; gargle with it; spit it out;

take a small sip and swallow; gargle several times as needed

1. chop two large cloves garlic; melt 4 tablespoons butter in small skillet; remove from heat;

add chopped garlic to skillet; dip pieces of bread into this garlic mix til finished;

do this once a day before bedtime; get a good rest

1. take a capsule of acidophilus with a cranberry capsule twice a day

2. suck on Vitamin C cough drops

3. eat easy to digest foods like baked yams, chicken, soup, and make juice from any veggie

4. take a tablespoon of RAW honey every now and then

and if it gets out of control I add a 25mg benedryl liquigel to keep the mucous to a minimum

while my body fights off the virus
