Fah Talai Jone herb formally approved for use in Thailand in treatment of mild COVID-19 symptoms

[webfact]

 

The Thai Ministry of Public Health has approved the use of Fah Talai Jone (andrographis paniculata), a Thai traditional herbal medicine, in the treatment of mild symptoms of COVID-19 infection.

 

The National Drug Development Committee, headed by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, has issued an announcement to add Fah Talai Jone to the national essential herbal medicine list, paving the way for its use in COVID-19 patients who are suffering mild symptoms.

 

The announcement has been published in the Royal Gazette and is now in effect. The Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine and Thai traditional medicine practitioners have long been fighting for the Ministry of Public Health to recognize that the herb can ease some COVID-19 symptoms.

Twice I've used this stuff for a sore throat, both times it did zilch

[scotsdude]

Call in the witch doctor as well …. 555

[mtls2005]

So will the GPO control the productions of this? Test it? Does a Doctor have to prescribe it? WHo can sell it?

 

We're told that it is very challenging to import new vaccines, so much process, rules, laws to follow. 

 

Crapsules filled with who knows what? Go for it.

Because It is not indicated for sore throats

[jacko45k]

So the quarantine hospital staff will come round with  few twigs and leaves and maybe an amulet now? 

Might as well dress up in grass skirts and animal bones and dance around.

Yet I've used it several times, my daughter was even prescribed it by our local hospital. She was at a big open air concert in Chiang Rai back in February 2020, then went down with a fever and sore throat etc. It worked! She passed whatever lurgy it was on to me, I took it and it worked.

 

It doesn't matter: now it is officially approved a monopoly will be established to produce and distribute the stuff, and there won't be enough...

It does work, does it work against covid 19 symptoms though, if it's approved where is the evidence it does anything?

[Credo]

If the symptoms are mild, there is no way of knowing if it 'works' or not.  Most likely recovery would occur with or without it.

 

[rabas]

 

Symptoms? Many things help relieve symptoms, from colds, flu, whatever.  For me aspirin is the best.  Comes from the bark of a tree.

 

Anutin again? Just a scheme.

 

[mtls2005]

For all the asymptomatic and mild cases in field hospitals, prisons, migrant worker camps.

 

Makes it seem like they're getting "treatment" and " medicine".

 

Placebo, at best.

 

For those who've used it to treat COVID-19, what dosage did you use?  Any recommended "pharmacists" on Shopee?

Lucky it did nothing bad ???? But did you take the herb on the night of a full moon with 3 Monks chanting, if not then no wonder it didn't work.

It is funny that even the companies that produce do not agree on the treatment indications.

How is it possible to be so obtuse and not even look at what happens in neighboring countries such as India with the preventive use of Ivermectin that have managed to block the worrying progression of the Covid variant, everything is without hope of an improvement in Thailand's mentality from top of the class.

Where is the evidence that the so called vaccines work??????

[Ventenio]

works with asymptomatic symptoms very well!!!!

 

The key is to get friends to sell them for you, then they get friends, then they get friends, and you get a commission on everything.

 

if it doesn't work, you can sue....hahhhhahhahhhahaha...no you can't.   

 

remember, mild COVID symptoms might include, but not limited to, everything.  

 

so if you take the pills and then eat.....if you are not hungry, presto!!!!   

[Cake Monster]

Look more like a suppository

Sorry, Dr. Icelandman, are you prescribing Ivermectin as a prophoylactic, or a treatment?

 

Another Ivermectineer.

It seems most posters here are not knowing what they are talking about. I suggest to google „King of bitters“ to get a bit of knowledge before writing bs here….

Says quite clearly on the box it is a suppository.

[Falcon]

I wonder how much the producers of this stuff paid the government for the endorsement. I see, from the photo of the packet here, that it costs 350 baht right now. Wait for it now, it’s going to go way up in price and be sold for 1,000+ baht for the same thing. Next miracle cure will be drinking hales blue boy which is already popular here. What about recommending people go eat Som tam at a certain restaurant (owned or sponsored by the government of course) with an extra portion of chili? Thai govt ‘workers’really have no idea about anything other than stealing the countries money and liking their own pockets.

I have personally use on my wife (she ask me) that she had taken a bad bronchitis that after two weeks of high fever and healed in three days, for Covid according to the Thai doctors who tested it it works but I can not testify that it is true, like one of mine previous comment I think Thailand should instead use Ivermectin which would be more suitable for prevention as in India and other countries

 

[Emdog]

If you use this stuff, you could recover in a week, but if you don't it might take seven days!
