Wouldn,t it be nice to know what this stuff looked like, what form it comes in, and where it can be purchased ?

Comes in bottles and strips. It is in capsule form. You can buy it at 7-11.

Timely. I became quite ill on Wednesday evening, with headache, fever, and nausea. No sore throat. I don't know what the problem actually was. With fever mounting continuously, by yesterday afternoon I remembered I had bought a bottle of Fah ta lai Jone capsules right before the lockdown. Took four of them after dinner and in less than 90 minutes the fever seemed to break. Took three more at bedtime last night. Woke up and no fever. Coincidence. Could be. Might be just having worked through the illness, whatever it was. Don't care. Next time, I'll take at the first sign of fever.

I had a "lurgy" back in early February. I caught it from my daughter, it appears she caught it at a weekend Pop concert. I don't know whether it was Covid or not -felt like a nasty case of the flue. We were both prescribed this stuff at our local hospital, and it cleared it up quite remarkably.

And cure Ebola - oh no the Thais have already done that.

Not to forget, making you rich when offered on the spirit house in front of your home.

Could probably replicate the same results using mama noodles, or sugar cubes if you had a mind to.

Don't knock powerful herbs.  I read something about Arteminisin years back how it works in malaria and certain cancers.  My ( at the time late 80's year old and had never smoked) mother was diagnosed 5 years ago with stage 4 lung cancer and the doctors said they could treat her some with radiation, or she could go for immunotherapy for 10K USD a month.  She did a couple radiation treatments and that was all she could handle.  The doctors told her she had less than a year.  She decided to give Arteminisin a try after our family contacted some US medical research centers about this, and as fate would have it, her oncologist was from India and knew about this plant.  Now a number of years later, the cancer ball just sits in her lungs and does not grow at all.

it is known to help with FEVER since decades or centuries

 

big pharma will not dump & dump a billion baht or more in a product they cannot patent

 

if they could, they tried with CURCUMIN and India protested, they would sell it 100x to 1000x more expensive, by just changing ONE molecule that is patent-able but will not work as the original

 

so many examples where they tried & failed to copy mother nature

The first effective treatment for malaria came from the bark of a tree.

Yes. Positive test result

However, the herb cannot provide any protection against the virus.

If the curative effects are real, and you can take the curative dose long-term without ill effects, it'll probably have a protective/prophylactic effect. I think they may have reached the conclusion that it doesn't because Covid incidence in Thailand is so low their test for prophylactic effects was underpowered.

 

(The in silico studies linked to in one of the posts above really only point to the possibility of it being effective; it's quite common for compounds to have high binding affinities and not do much in vivo.)

I think that its where it does help, reducing fever symptoms quite quickly
