Exercise due caution with regard to CBD, megadose Vit C, “MMS” (aka industrial bleach), etc, etc. The people advancing these miracle claims are almost always either indulging, selling, or both. Ego and money corrupt even good science when we let them; imagine what they do in presence of unquestioning, evangelical Beliefs. And they are out in force right now, putting even the most venal pharma corp to shame. Panic is no reason to bypass robust replicated research, or even more will die.
Best thing is not to catch COVID-19 in the first place. Next best is not to catch it all at once. And if you do catch it, follow the latest treatment guidelines and do your best not to pass it to anyone else. Be safe.

- hhas01 7y agoCBD is interesting but regularly overhyped; lots of “believed” and “may”, personal testimonials and pilot trials; not a lot of robust large-scale trials to really sift out the truth. PubMed is just an index of published research, not a measure of quality. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/cbd-oil-the-new-miracle-cure/ https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/cbd-oil-the-new-miracle-cur... What’s the current medical recommendations where you are? I’m not going to guess—too much dodgy advice going around as it is—but best to follow that.
