Cuba promotes homeopathy as effective 'weapon' against the coronavirus
Source: The Miami Herald
As scientists around the world speed up clinical trials to find a cure or vaccine for the coronavirus, the Cuban government will begin distributing a homeopathic remedy to the elderly and other vulnerable people to “prevent” the spread of the disease, a top health official said.
Dr. Francisco Durán, national director of Epidemiology at the Ministry of Public Health, said in a press conference on Sunday that “sublingual drops” of the compound PrevengHo-Vir “prevent different diseases such as influenza, the common cold, dengue, and emerging viral infections such as this one.”
On Monday, Durán tried to correct his statements and said that the product “does not prevent contagion” but rather “increases resistance, the body’s defenses against a certain virus.”
Several state media outlets reported that PrevengHo-Vir is already being used in various Cuban provinces to treat the elderly and other groups vulnerable to the coronavirus. There is no internet record of PrevengHo-Vir, other than press reports about the announcement of its distribution in Cuba.

But you are certainly free to have your opinion as well. 
Then I began to read up on it. You might find it interesting as well.
I am going to google it, too. It isn't one I'm familiar with. 
It is a different concept of healthcare. It is energy medicine - kicks electrons back into healthy orbit.
But I'm not finding remedy info here in States. Perhaps it is a remedy made from an indigenous plant in Cuba. Interesting! 😍
If you find any info please pm me? Thx! 
For anyone interested, I highly recommend Richard Gerber, MD's book: "Vibrational Medicine." 😊
Not that crap again! What's next? Leaches? Humours? Miasmas?

In early 2007, I began studying medicine at the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana, Cuba. I entered the program not knowing much about the Cuban healthcare system, other than that it was universal and free. “Now that’s a system I want to learn from,” I thought to myself, “It’s a system we could all learn from.” Five years later, what have I learned?
There are many subtle and not so subtle differences between the Cuban and the U.S. health care systems which have allowed the Cubans to equal the U.S. with respect to their health statistics, but at a much lower cost and with better preventative and primary care. In this paper I analyze just one of the reasons for the differences between the two systems; Cuba produces more primary care practitioners per capita. How do they do it? Medical education in Cuba is free, all doctors interested in specializing must first serve two years working in primary care, and graduating doctors are not driven to specialize by salary incentives. This socialist approach towards medicine and medical education assures the human resources necessary to provide universal and preventative healthcare to all.
People marvel at how Cuba has “accomplished so much with so little.” And they marvel with good reason. According to the World Health Organization, Cuba spent only $503 per capita on healthcare in 2009, the U.S. spent almost 15 times that sum. In fact we in the US spent $421 per person just on the administration of the private healthcare insurance system, almost enough to fund the Cuban system. [1] [2] Despite dramatically lower costs, Cuba has some of the best health statistics and health indicators of any country around the world.
Although people like to compare and contrast the health statistics of the U.S. and Cuba, I think this a bit preposterous. Cuba, a small island in the Caribbean, is being compared to one of the largest countries in the Americas with a very different history. So in the table below, I have shown some health statistics on Cuba and the U.S. as well as the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The Dominican Republic and Haiti are Cuba’s Caribbean neighbors; similar in size, history and geographic location.

Frankly, I am amazed at the negative backlash on this thread. 😳
I "perscribe" a thorough, thoughtful reading of physicist Fred Alan Wolf's "The Dreaming Universe."
✌
Going to research these ingredients!
To quote cosmologist & astrophysicist, Martin Rees.
Until someone you care about has a health problem that modern medicine cannot begin to address after many months & you begin trying cheap, non toxic alternatives & see instant improvement or cure, please don't judge.
Also, I highly recommend Richard Gerber, MD's book: "Vibrational Medicine," and Fred Alan Wolf's "The Dreaming Universe," for some enlightenment on energy. 
PS - It is a different principle: like cures like, which is perhaps why it is not understood well. There are still a fair amount of homeopathic hospitals in existence, btw. This modality is absolutely denigrated by pharmaceutical companies, as is neurotherapy. Follow the money folks. 😉
To each their own. Stay well!
Humanitarian deterrence of the virus, not Cold War–era regime change, should be the top priority of US foreign policy.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Nation believes that helping readers stay informed about the impact of the coronavirus crisis is a form of public service. For that reason, this article, and all of our coronavirus coverage, is now free. Please subscribe to support our writers and staff, and stay healthy.
On March 25, as a team of Cuban doctors and medical technicians set up field hospitals in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy to treat thousands of Italians infected with Covid-19, the State Department issued an absurd warning, via Twitter, against accepting Cuban humanitarian support. “Host countries seeking Cuba’s help for #COVID-19 should scrutinize agreements and end labor abuses,” the message stated. “#Cuba offers its international medical missions to those afflicted with #COVID-19 only to make up the money it lost when countries stopped participating in the abusive program,” a reference to right-wing governments, such as those in Brazil and Bolivia, which under US pressure last year kicked out thousands of Cuban doctors providing medical services—a decision that has come back to haunt the populations of those countries as the coronavirus spreads.
Never mind that the 52 members of the Cuban medical team in Italy are risking their own lives to save those of citizens of a major European nation that is part of the NATO alliance. Or that Cuba, with its highly successful track record of developing antiviral drugs and providing rapid-response support for victims of epidemics and natural disasters, is a much-needed ally in the international struggle against the worst threat the world has confronted in recent history. For the Trump administration, scoring political points in Florida with crass, unwarranted attacks on Cuba’s humanitarian commitment remains a top priority.
But in this “dire moment of dread and pestilence,” as the writer Ariel Dorfman has described our current crisis, it is obvious that US political and foreign policy priorities must fundamentally change. With the survival of the world at stake, Washington’s punitive efforts to roll back the Cuban revolution have never seemed so petty, and so abjectly counterproductive to real US national security interests, as they do now. Rather than condemn Cuba’s humanitarian contributions to fighting the virus around the world, Washington should be actively supporting them. The most immediate way to do that is to suspend US sanctions that severely compromise Cuba’s efforts to safeguard its citizens at home as well as bring medical services to so many others abroad.
. . .
But unlike most nations, Cuba’s ability to confront the pandemic is hobbled by severe US sanctions that have escalated under the Trump administration. The trade embargo, almost six decades old, continues to hamper Cuba’s financial transactions and its ability to export and import needed materials. Among other punitive measures, the Trump administration has effectively penalized foreign shipping companies ferrying cargo from other countries to Cuba, impeding the flow of oil, foodstuffs, and other commerce critical to the daily needs of Cuba’s citizenry. Even before the coronavirus crisis hit, the Cuban economy was experiencing chronic shortages. There is such a lack of textiles on the island, for example, that the Cuban government has called upon its citizens to manufacture cloth face masks at home to mitigate the spread of the virus.

TY for sharing!
Pharma squelched neurotherapy too, decades ago. Talk about nonsense! Neurotherapy is brain training, sort of like Dyno tuning your brain waves. Lol
Pharma said it must be a "hippie" thing because people felt so darned good after sessions. Why wouldn't one feel superb when brain is functioning at its very best? 
My first comment after a session was, "Holy hell, doc, why would anyone ever do drugs to feel good when they could have a session?" 🤣👍 The answer is because people don't know about it, generally, thanks to pharma.
And there is plenty of objective medical research reflecting robust results from neurotherapy for many maladies, many of which ... wait for it ... are either treated with expensive & often harmful, toxic chemicals via pharma to "manage symptoms" or are corrected through brain wave training.
Follow the $$$$. Always.
I would never wish this upon anyone but, perhaps, until a person goes through a medical life-threatening crisis with a loved one which is exacerbated by drugs, or for which drugs are completely ineffective (while literally destroying organs), one might not be compelled with a desire to research outside the proverbial box or to develop an appreciative awareness that in most cases Mother Nature has already provided what we need to attain and maintain homeostasis. In fact, most drugs are made from plants - herbs & such. lol
As for those who so vehemently attack homeopathy and anecdotal, qualitative resesrch - yes, there is such a thing! - I challenge you to go to a health food store & spend about $10 for a bottle of spray on arnica.
The next time you smash your thumb with a hammer, try your normal pharma drugs first. Then, when the throbbing returns or becomes too intense, spritz your thumb with arnica spray a couple of times, then let's have a chitty chat about whether homeopathy is "woo woo" stuff. Oh, and you quite likely might be surprised to find that your fingernail doesn't turn black & fall off, as has been the case for me & several friends. It's good stuff. You do yourself a disservive by limiting your thinking, imho.
PS- Never use arnica on cuts or broken skin. 👍
Rescue remedy is fabulous! A large majority of dog rescue groups use it for traumatized fur kids and is it fabulous!
I love flower essences! 🤩
TY for sharing your experience & I'm glad your hand is OK.
Those who won't, must be mocked, ridiculed, reviled, taunted, maybe leered at from behind keyboards, with vile gestures and faces, who knows, the sky's the limit! Nothing inflames a predatory exploiter more than the thought someone might ever impugn his right to profit at others' most tragic expense.
It seems to escape them so impressively that the powerful drugs in use do have a natural origin.
Great post, totally enjoyed it from beginning to end, SheltieLover!
