Covid-19 – what about alternative treatment options? is there an effective alternative medical treatment for fighting the corona virus?

Swift and virulent, the CORONA VIRUS continues to sweep across the globe causing the deadly infectious COVID-19 disease with such a violent and calculated force that the world struggles to find ways to understand, control, combat or even intercept this new virus. The world is gripped in fear! The word coronavirus refers to the family of viruses that cause respiratory infections that it belongs to and COVID-19 is the official name for the disease it causes. 1 At this point Stanford University has announced that the Corona virus may be up to 85 times more infectious then being reported. 2 As scientists and healthcare workers contemplate the negative impact and deadly pathological aspects of this disease the goal of finding a viable treatment option becomes increasingly important for a disease that presently has no known cure. Right now several options are being investigated in laboratories worldwide to help pharmaceutical companies develop treatments and vaccinations, but development of these involves accurate research and timely trials that will prevent immediate availability. So what about the alternative options? There are actually unique and effective alternative phytochemical medicinals that can treat viruses including the Corona virus and others like SARS and H1N1. But overall it is known that in the west the general public is not encouraged to consider alternative medicine as a first-option, especially for treating a global pandemic condition like this! Although alternative methods are just as viable scientifically and have been proven effective for treatment of symptoms experienced with the COVID-19 – the public may be too afraid to contemplate this right now. But, what if these options work? As a doctor, parent and world citizen, I would truly appreciate any type of a feasible treatment defense against this pandemic - I feel that it would be crucially valuable to me, my family, my community, and ultimately to the world. So far though, knowledge of an alternative option like this for COVID-19 has eluded mainstream officials and the mainstream media has not even mentioned the topic. PubMed ONLY has one listing 3 and more content can be found about alternative options on YouTube than from a western medical doctor in a hospital setting, but In the east the situation is very different. In China, alternative and mainstream medicine reside side-by-side in the same hospitals, alternative medicines were and still are being utilized to treat the virus and this has helped many of their patients recover and control the deadly symptoms of the virus. In the USA however, alternative medicine is not considered mainstream and at the time of an outbreak it may not even considered a relevant or safe option because it is not thought to be truly medicinal or effective enough for treating extreme conditions like COVID-19. The fact is, studies show that there are several safe, effective alternative treatment options for COVID-19 that work.
