There has been some debate among the Minister of Health
Malaysia, the Director-General of Health and former Deputy of Health Malaysia, other
doctors and members of the public as well, whether drinking warm water recommended
by the current Minister of Health helps kill the corona virus?
Read here their quarrels :
Let me now join in this interesting debate as a former senior medical
researcher and multi-disciplinary scientist
There is scientific truth that viruses cannot withstand high
temperature. I shall explain.
This is one of the reasons why the body response with a
fever when infected by Covid19 or any viral or bacterial infections
This immunological response designed by the body of generating
a high temperature (fever) is gospel truth and nobody can deny this
However, I do doubt if the warm water temperature is high
enough (at least 75 degrees C), or can be drunk or maintained long enough (at
least for 20 minutes) to inactivate the viral RNA and its outer protein envelop?
At such high temperatures of 75 degrees C it will instantly scald
the throat, let alone maintain it for 20 minutes. Throat reflex will instantly throw
out the hot water
Furthermore Covid19 is primarily a respiratory tract and not
esophageal- gastro tract infection.
These are two separate anatomical systems.
Any water drunk can only enter the stomach, and not into the
windpipe
How then could any water hot or cold enter from the throat
into the windpipe, airways and into lungs instead
of into the esophagus when it is blocked
by the epiglottis in the throat when food is eaten, water drunk?
The reason given by the Minister of Health is correct in
that viruses are intolerant to high temperatures and I concur with him.
But there is a catch here:
Frigid of Space where Viruses Lurk in Suspended Animation:
We scientists trained and qualified in astrobiology and
astronomy knows that there are untold quantities of pre-life molecules, biomolecules,
viruses lurking out there in space in the interstellar clouds that literally
remain there for hundreds of thousands of years in the frigid and darkness of
space
They can withstand horrendously long journeys lasting thousands
of light years in suspected animation because they are not activated yet into
life in a frigid and dark environment of
interstellar space where the temperature
is only a little above 3 Kelvin (3
degrees above absolute zero)
This is the temperature as CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background),
the remnant temperature from the Big Bang when the Universe was first created
along with pre-life such as RNA molecules and viruses soon after the Big Bang. The searing temperatures
from the Big Bang then dropped to almost absolute zero soon after
Pre-life molecules like RNA are synthesized soon after
That how the viruses are kept in suspended animation at such
low temperatures where all molecular movements including viral RNA freezes to
almost zero and remain motionless for thousands
of millions of years without needing any living host, oxygen, nutrients, or any
life-sustaining molecules etc. simply because all molecular motions and
movements is zero or almost zero
Now after this astrobiological explanation from me, we now know
why viruses cannot tolerate high temperatures in Earth’s hot environment or in
the fever of an infected person as they are used to almost absolute zero Kelvin
found in deep, deep space for thousands
of millions of years from where they originate
Having explained that, let now go back to what the Minister
of Health recommended
The Minister of Health advice is to drink warm water to kill
the corona virus
I do not agree with him that drinking warm (not hot) water
can inactivate the corona virus in the respiratory tract.
However I would like to use his idea to work it in another way.
Alternative Therapeutic Modality: Based on Space Science:
Since corona viruses, and for that matter all viruses like
cold environment, and are heat labile, let me use this scientific truth to recommend
all suspected corona viral infected patients
to inhale HOT steam for at least 20 – 30 minutes.
Repeat this procedure as many times as they can inhale
except take care not to flood the bronchioles and lungs with condensed stream,
or they may be drowned by the condensed steam – caution. Aspirate excess water in the airways using
postural drainage often. This is
physiotherapy that does not require harmful and unnecessary drugs
Anti-viral Oil:
If they like, enhance that anti-viral steam-inhaling therapy
with anti-viral essential oils such as from star anise, camphor, eucalyptus
oils, and all oils rich in powerful
anti-virals phenylpropanoids and sesquiterpenes.
Add about 5 mls. of these anti-viral essential aromatic oils
into the boiling water, and inhale the steam
Steam together with all these anti-viral aromatic oils will
enter into the respiratory tract and fight the virus. Steam can NEVER into the
stomach
Mechanisms of Hot Steam on Airways:
The action of steam inhalation is not just that alone. Warm steam when inhaled will trigger off the following mechanisms
1.
Liquidize any thick mucus (mucins which are heavily
glycosylated proteins) trap in bronchus and bronchioles along with the virus
for easy expectorant effect and expulsion from the airways. Retinol from cod liver oil accelerates the airways
ciliary sweep as the primary mechanism for mucus clearance along with the trapped
viruses.
2.
Warmth is not a conducive environment for
viruses. They die very easily in hot and warm surroundings since they are
pre-life RNA particles that “thrive” under the frigid cosmic background temperature
of nearly minus 273 degrees C (3 Kelvin) where they remain in suspended animation
for at least 4 billon years in torridly-chilly inter-stellar space before
arriving on Earth.
At that temperature near 0 K (−273.15 °C; −459.67 °F),
nearly all molecular motion ceases where mathematically ΔS = 0 for any
adiabatic process, and where S is the entropy according to the laws of thermodynamics
of near absolute zero.
3.
The heat of the steam above body temperature (37
0 C) will cause bronchial dilation and angio-vascular dilation and vascular injection over the area bringing in
immune bodies such as cytotoxic T cells seeking for any kind of viral infections
via their toxic mediators.
Cytotoxic T cells have specialized proteins called T cell
receptors (TCRs) tagged on their surfaces
that help them to recognize
virally-infected cells.
Each cytotoxic T cell has a TCR that can specifically recognize
a particular antigenic peptide bound to an MHC molecule.
If the T cell receptor detects a peptide from a virus
(example corona viruses), it alerts its T cell of a pathogenic invasion.
The T cell then releases cytotoxic factors to destroy the plague-ridden
cell and, consequently prevent the survival of the invading virus
This is natural medicine (naturopathic medicine), a field among
others, I am also well-trained and also well- qualified. These quarrelling doctors can learn quietly from me.
That will INSTANTLY SOLVE all the quarrels among the top
experts on health and medicine.
I hope they, all including all specialists doctors too will read
my explanation and suggestion
Hope this helps to settle their disputes
