Today, chicken soup is widely referred to (not just among Jews) in jest as "Jewish penicillin", and hailed as a cure for the common cold.
Let's look at how rediculas the public is being about Covid-19, or the Coronavirus. However, why not try Chicken Soup. As I stated above, "Jewish penicillin" is hailed as a cure for the common cold, why not use it to combat Coronavirus?
But the pandemic, is more deadly then the virus itself. So, lets take a good look at AIDS and the Black Death or the Plague.
In 1980, Rock Hudson contracted the AIDs virus. He died of it. A panic ensued for approximately 10 to 15 years thereafter, sprung up. But regardless of the panic and the epidemic of AIDs, let me ask you a question: Did people quit having sex because of AIDS?
Now about 40 years later, we have a virus, called the Coronavirus or Covid-19. Do not misunderstand me, but this virus is a nasty cold, or flu. It attacks the immune system and it seems in some cases to use the immune system against the human host. However, there is a great deal of Hope here. AIDs had no cure, there was no way to stop the immune deficiency in 1980, just like there seems to be no cure for the Coronavirus. But let's be real here, there is no cure for the common cold, let alone the flu or influenza. So it would be safe to say, that the Coronavirus, or Covid-19 is a superflu or the flu on steroids.
With that being said, the Coronavirus is not like AIDS. It is a virus, that acts like influenza. Well since a lot of the symptoms of Coronavirus are the same as the flu, then some medicine that helps the human body to fight off the flu should work here. Maybe not as good as we want it to, but it would help. If this is true, then the chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine should work. Laura Ingraham on the Ingraham angle devoted a whole episode on that.
In fact, Donald Trump even mentioned chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment as they find a cure for the disease. Now, I am not a doctor but can deduce from the reporting that chloroquine fighting the coronavirus, or Covid-19, is like tylenol fighting the flu. chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine is not a cure however there are promising effects of these drugs. For example, the hydroxychloroquine has shown in some studies to help prevent the virus in latching on to the host.
This fact that was pointed out on the Laura Ingraham show, intrigued me because of an old remedy that the Jewish people claim will "cure what ails you". One such ingredient that helps the human body to keep viruses from "latching" on is garlic. If you boil garlic, and squeeze the boiled garlic into a broth, it could possibly help the human immune system to fend off the virus.
But garlic alone is not good enough in helping the immune system. Chicken- is another ingredient that could also help. So boil the garlic with the chicken for at the least three hours. It is here, that an old Marine once told me to stop. He said to me, "Don't put carrots, potatoes, etc. in the soup, just garlic and Chicken." Personally, I add to the soup, barley, but that is me. Then I ingest the steam coming from the soup and broth. But what I also do, is add milk, while the soup is still hot and for taste some salt. I would recommend Sea salt.
Now the ingredients of the Jewish Chicken soup actually come from the writings in the bible. We must understand the best medicine is food. Any doctor would tell you that. So, my personal solution in fighting the virus is this Chicken soup. Boiling the Chicken, with the bone, until the meat falls off the bone, and the garlic, until the garlic is soft enough to squeeze the juices out of the garlic into the broth, adding Barley, which will soak up the broth, and adding the calcium that is in milk, plus the sea salt. Should help build up the immune system.
The other cure to the Coronavirus, is our attitudes. I think it is a very good idea to keep personal hygiene up, wash your hands and clothes, etc. Keeping up with social distancing is also a really good idea. Even before the pandemic, I agreed with social distancing, for another reason, I don't like to be restricted. But every American, in fact, every person in the world should do simple things like making chicken soup to battle the virus, as the experts are seeking the vaccine and antiviral medication.
Most of the medical professionals are claiming that it will take months or even years before they have a treatment let alone a vaccine or antiviral. But in the meantime we ourselves can do our part by increasing our immune system.
Let's look at history for a moment:
The Black Death, also known as the Pestilence, Great Bubonic Plague, the Great Plague or the Plague, or less commonly the Great Mortality or the Black Plague, was the most devastating pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. This plague, is made up of three plagues. 1.bubonic plague, 2. Septicemic plague, and 3. Pneumonic plague. Penicillin is considered one of the most effective antibiotics against the Plague.
Incidentally, Chicken soup, or Jewish Chicken Soup was very effective fighting the Plague.
My advice is make and eat Chicken Soup. Make it say on Sunday/Monday, and eat it on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Skip Thursday, Friday and Saturday, then start again on Sunday. The reason why you want to skip eating it for at least three days is to allow the body to get use to the improved immune system. But if you love the soup like I do, I could eat it for every meal. I also suggest eating bread with the soup. Not as a main course, but rather as a staple.
Hope you like my opinion, tell me what you think.
