Native American Remedy to kill poxvirus
’There is much scepticism on herbal medicine but what our results illustrate conclusively is that this herb is able to kill the virus and we can actually demonstrate how it kills the virus,’ says Langland. ’It takes this herb out of the realm of folklore, and into the area of true scientific evidence.’
The team made extracts of S. purpurea and found that it was highly effective at inhibiting the replication of the virus in rabbit kidney cells. They then looked at the replication cycle of the virus and found that the herb inhibits mRNA synthesis, halting production of proteins vital for replication. ’Other drugs are being developed against smallpox, but S. purpurea is the only known therapy that will target the virus at this point in the replication cycle,’ says Langland.
Smallpox symptoms include a high fever and rash. It usually takes about 12 days for smallpox symptoms to appear after being infected.4 Early symptoms can include headache, backache, and fatigue. Vomiting might also occur. Approximately two to three days later, a red rash appears over the skin. This rash turns into fluid-filled blisters that later fill with pus. The rash then scabs over, the scabs fall off, and it leaves scars.
Natural Herbs/Remedies
• Yarrow - Taking yarrow orally, such as in a tea, is said to help treat smallpox.
• Tansy - Tansy can be taken orally or used as a topical wash to heal smallpox.
• Ginger - To help ease irritation and fight the smallpox virus, it can help to add ginger to your bath.
• Goldenseal - Another smallpox home remedy for the bath is goldenseal.
• Lady’s Slipper - The lady’s slipper herb can be taken orally to help fight smallpox.
Drugs used to treat:
TPOXX, tecovirimat, brincidofovir, Tembexa Ithis last one was approved by the FDA over the summer)
I think I also read Geranium oil applied to skin....Japanese Barberry is being removed in Pennsylvania..it has very beneficial uses....I find it odd that here I've had those plants 50 years..now they call to remove them...invasive they say.....not evasive...I say its useful.....
This sounds obvious but after reading about disease and the pharmaceutical industry, healthy living prevents and stops diseases. Many diseases flourish in 3rd world countries due to lack of clean drinking water, poor nutrition and poor sanitation.
Take good care of yourself and you'll be well equipped to fight a virus. Joe Rogan said he caught the coof after being on the road and doing some heavy drinking. Get plenty of sleep. Layoff the booze and caffeine. Drink plenty of water. Take supplements that support your general health (magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, etc.) Eat healthy food especially leafy greens and avoid sugar and fast carbs. Get some exercise and sunlight when you can.
The common cold is a viral infection. COVID was an engineered and released virus (unless you think it came from a wet market). Yet 99% of people with a decent immune system didn't die from it. Unless psychopaths are engineering a "super bug," having a robust immune system is a good prevention.
Good health will increase your resilience regardless of the disease. Smallpox wasn’t the Black Plague. Many people never got it. Many people overcame it without treatment. Why? How much of what we ‘know’ about smallpox is fake?
Since waking up my focus has been on prevention. Making myself the strongest person I can be, in every aspect.
It’s good for us to know treatments, but this fren’s comment is probably the best advice in here.
I have a brother and a mentor who both managed their respective diseases with a change in diet (essentially avoiding everything processed). My brother has RA in his 30’s, nothing to scoff at.
“You must be 21 to drink”
2 drops bleach per 1 quart water
Mix the following amount of bleach with water, and wait 30 minutes for it to work. The water should have just a ‘hint’ of chlorine smell.
Water – Bleach Ratio For Purification
(Bleach containing 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite)
numbers are ’rounded’
This will initially produce ~ 5 ppm chlorine
1 Quart water, 2 drops bleach
1 Gallon water, 8 drops bleach
5 Gallons water, 1/2 teaspoon bleach
10 Gallons water, 3/4 teaspoon bleach
50 Gallons water, 4 teaspoons bleach
Water – Bleach Ratio For Purification
(Bleach containing 8.25% Sodium Hypochlorite)
numbers are ’rounded’
This will initially produce ~ 5 ppm chlorine
1 Quart water, 1 drop bleach (1.3 rounded)
1 Gallon water, 5 drops bleach
5 Gallons water, 1/4 teaspoon bleach
10 Gallons water, 1/2 teaspoon bleach
50 Gallons water, 2-1/2 teaspoons bleach

Time To Boil Drinking Water
Boiling is the most certain way of killing all microorganisms.
According to the Wilderness Medical Society:
Water temperatures at 160°F (70°C) kill all pathogens within 30 minutes.
185°F (85°C) will kill all pathogens within a few minutes.
Water that has reached a rolling boil will have killed all pathogens.
So in the time it takes for water to reach the boiling point all pathogens will be killed. The moment your drinking water reaches a rolling boil, the water has already become safe to drink.
We have lots of water as well as a straw purifier for our local lakes. We have local game in case our stocked food runs out. Great to know about the bleach combo, thx!
We have a well, cistern and generator. Worst comes to worst, guess we'lll have to use a hand crank. Family and friends thought we were crazy for moving to the middle of nowhere. Over the past two years, some have realized why.
We considered a generator but so much of it needs electricity ex. to pump gas to your house etc. I didnt realize there was a hand crank possibility. And smart on you guys for moving to rural America!
Sarracenia Purpurea may be useful as already mentioned in this thread. Herbal tincture is probably best. The S. Purpurea available on Amazon is a homeopathic version.
Since Ivermectin acts as a protease inhibitor, I do not see why it would not be useful for treating other "viruses" such as smallpox. Also, L-Lysine is useful in treating double stranded DNA viruses, like herpes viruses, by inhibiting replication. It competes with arginine so the virus will substitute the lysine instead of arginine thereby stopping a virus from replicating. Smallpox is a double stranded DNA virus which means it is more stable and does not mutate as rapidly as RNA viruses, such as coronaviruses and influenza. Medications for treatment are easier to develop because the target is not always moving. Dosage of L-Lysine is between 1000mg to 1200 mg a day, in divided dosages, on an empty stomach.
Just remember, there is no organically originating smallpox. The US and the former USSR had the only remaining samples of smallpox when it was officially declared eradicated in the wild. Both countries weaponized it. After the fall of the USSR, there were weaponized smallpox stockpiles that went missing. Besides those missing stockpiles that more than likely went to the highest bidder, the US is not past playing loose with bioweapons. So, any outbreak of smallpox anywhere in the world will have been a weaponized version. Smallpox already has about a 30 percent death rate, so who knows what a weaponized version could do. Smallpox is a nasty disease and the fact that scum like Gates is dropping hints about an outbreak is more than a little unsettling.
My understanding of historical response to smallpox (going from memory, so please research for yourself) was one of two methods.
Get cowpox (a milder infection that did not leave as significant damage or blistering to the skin and generally didn't cause death) which conveyed strong immunity to smallpox. It was common for milkmaids to get cowpox, and uncommon for them to suffer smallpox.
Get an inoculation to smallpox. Retrieve from a smallpox infected person pus from one of the blisters by slicing the blister and scraping a previously sterilized tool over the open wound. Cut a shallow incision into the arm of the person being inoculated. Introduce the scraped off pus material into the wound to inoculate the individual.
#1 was generally effective.
#2 supposedly introduced weakened or near dead smallpox into the person being inoculated. This method did not always work out and some still died from smallpox introduced by the inoculation. John Adams family had an inoculation of this method done and I believe the results were mixed for his family.

I would say if they fly with this they are relying on the 12 days to appear and therefore making fear mongering more believable and line up the needles. which they may say is a SPox vax but how do we really know?
In 5% to 10% of smallpox patients, more rapidly progressive, malignant disease develops, which is almost always fatal within 5 to 7 days. In such patients, the lesions are so densely confluent that the skin looks like crepe rubber; some patients exhibit bleeding into the skin and intestinal tract. Such cases are difficult to diagnose, but they are exceedingly infectious.

These crazy people are already priming us for small pox. Those vials they found in Philly will somehow accidentally contaminate us. God I hope the normies wake up.
I’d recommend the book Dissolving Illusions. It’s a wonderful history on the beginnings of vaccines and she has a chapter or two On small pox. First healthy lifestyle and food plus of course clean water and sanitation are all key to keeping a person healthy to fight it off. If you don’t want to get the book check out Leicester england and how they handled smallpox and refused the mandated jab. An 1800’s “anti vax” True life story.
I mean, would it really be beneficial for them to release it? They aren’t afraid of covid. Do you think they’d be afraid of smallpox? Much higher likelihood of death.
May get attacked for asking this, but what’s the molecule size of variola? Would masks actually help with this one?
Just thinking it would be very dastardly to make everyone realize masks do nothing to stop COVID and then release a nastier virus that would be helped by mask use after everyone doesn’t use them.
Masks are pretty useless for the average person because they don’t have a seal against the face, and people touch them with their hands.
Most viruses are too small for a mask to be effective, but even if they weren’t, people touch their masks, spreading particles around.
Doctors wear them for bacteria, and it’s usually for the patient’s benefit, not their own. They also wear rubber gloves and sterilize their hands to go along with masks.
It it helps reassure you, smallpox transmissibility in practice is much lower than you would think, and in endemic conditions, the average infected person will spread smallpox to less than one other person.
Smallpox is most contagious when symptoms are apparent, so if we quarantine those with the telltale rash, it is incredibly effective.
I knew you needed prolonged contact inside to really spread through aerosols/being around a sick person. That one doctor who slept in the same bed as his brother with an active rash and never got the pox himself comes to mind.
Just kind of sucky that we even have to consider this again, lol.
As of right nos smallpox does not exist in nature and us only found in labs, and was eradicated by the 1970s / 1980s so it's not like it has slowly been coming back. It doesn't spread globally like the media portrayed covid in a matter of says, nothing really does but smallpox was slow and requires prolonged face contact. Masks should work actually since its spit transmitted, big huge molecules, not just invisible viruses "in the air"
I have a question. This is not suggested as a cure or treatment but I'm curious about your thoughts on something slightly unrelated but maybe beneficial. I had a young family member that was highly allergic to poison ivy. They broke out in blisters, lots of them. I used to use spray benadryl on them. The spray helped them not itch or scratch the blisters and dried them all up in virtually 24 hours or less. Since I had such great success with that, I've used it on other infectious type bumps / blisters over the years with the same remarkable results. Is it possible that using the spray benadryl on the smallpox blisters could help dry them up quickly and thereby lessening the more infectious time frame?
Waddya wanna bet Ivermectin works just fine?
It does according to Clif High
before or after "treatment"?
I would guess if left untreated

Lets hope the power grid doesnt go off and stops pumping water to our house while this happens, if they end up getting away with it it will be bad.
Get water storage going now. We have about 25 gallons in 2liter soda bottles stored away & picked up bleach as well to sanitize if needed.

Agreed about the separate steps.
You also have to change masks out every two hours to stay uncontaminated.
Just didn’t know if properly fitted N95’s might provide some protection if the variola molecule is larger.

Back when small pox was ravishing Europe doctors noted that milk maids were not affected by small pox.
Turns out that they were exposed to cow pox, milking cows, which made them immune to small pox.
I say find a cow and cozy up to a teat.
