Nutritional medicines may help coronavirus patients recover. The LA Times published an article on April 10, 2020 citing concerns about long lasting effects resulting from COVID-19. There are many unknowns about how people will recover from the coronavirus. This is a day by day learning situation for everyone. Once the country is on the other side of the pandemic, lingering symptoms will still persists, not just economically but physically for some of those who contracted the virus. Damage to the heart, liver, kidneys and lungs may take time to recover if full recovery is even possible. Some people may need pharmaceuticals to help with symptoms and long term complications. Recovery is enhanced by healthy practices, good nutrition among them. Large doses of properly prescribed and administered nutritionals can also enhance recovery. Alpha lipoic acid has been demonstrated to protect the lungs from the damage of inflammation and reduce fibrosis of the lungs. Scarring of lung tissue is a big concern associated with the novel coronavirus. Alpha lipoic acid might help. It has been used for decades in the US for a wide variety of conditions, often to treat lung damage resulting from chemotherapy or radiation, diabetic neuropathy and liver disease. Unfortunately, the FDA has recently written regulations that will illegalize intravenous alpha lipoic acid. Now, more than ever, it is especially important that we keep intravenous use alpha lipoic acid accessible to patients with lung damage to help them more quickly and fully recover.
