May also help those with Long COVID.

Since I believe the evidence now clearly shows that any exposure to the Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 can be harmful, I have begun a search for therapeutics which not only mitigate the disease of COVID but also prevent infection of SARS-CoV-2. One such therapeutic I have discovered is Spirulina.

First, let us discuss what Spirulina is and a bit of its history.

Spirulina or Arthrospira is a blue-green alga that became famous after it was successfully used by NASA as a dietary supplement for astronauts on space missions. It has the ability to modulate immune functions and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the release of histamine by mast cells. Multiple studies investigating the efficacy and the potential clinical applications of Spirulina in treating several diseases have been performed and a few randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews suggest that this alga may improve several symptoms and may even have an anticancer, antiviral and antiallergic effects. Current and potential clinical applications, issues of safety, indications, side-effects and levels of evidence are addressed in this review. Areas of ongoing and future research are also discussed.
