9. I will now proceed to link various studies that deal with the benefits of Quercetin, especially it’s potential against diseases, bacteria and viruses.
14. Study of Quercetin on Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress as a major cause of age-related diseases and cancer:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19149749

https://www.spandidos-publications.com/or/33/6/2659 
17. Here is other Quercetin anti-cancer research on test tube and animal studies on liver, lung, breast, bladder, blood, colon, ovarian, lymphoid, and adrenal cancer cells:
A. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28677813 
B. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28264020 
C. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24223637 
D. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27186419 
18. Here are Studies of some positive effects of Quercetin on Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia:
A. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26904161 
B. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25666032 
C. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29736217 
24. In test-tube studies, quercetin reduced markers of inflammation in human cells, including the molecules tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here are two studies with regard to that:
A. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20943792 
B. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27294919 
25. An 8-week study in 50 women with rheumatoid arthritis observed that participants who took 500 mg of quercetin experienced significantly reduced early-morning stiffness, morning pain, and after-activity pain. They had reduced markers of inflammation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27710596 
26. Quercetin’s anti-inflammatory properties may provide allergy symptom relief. Studies found that it may block inflammatory enzymes and suppress inflammation-promoting chemicals, such as histamine.
A. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27187333 
B. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18187018 
C. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21625024 
27. Another study showed that taking quercetin supplements suppressed peanut-related anaphylactic reactions in mice:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20548131 
29. Now let’s turn our attention to the possible effects of Quercetin on SARS-COV-2, otherwise known as COVID-19.
There are various ways Quercetin may be effective in inhibiting the effects of the coronavirus.
31. More detail: https://twitter.com/ne02012/status/1249760290113089539
32. Yet more detail on the mechanism of how Quercetin may block virus entry into cells. Here is the table from the Supercomputer simulation mentioned above: https://mobile.twitter.com/taitlog/status/1241859474781917184
33. This seems to be the mechanism proposed by the Montreal researchers mentioned above. Here is a piece of the article mentioned above: https://www.mcgilltribune.com/sci-tech/montreal-researchers-propose-a-treatment-for-covid-19-170320/
36. Here is a great video demonstrating how chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine work as zinc ionophores to inhibit virus replication:
37. As an aside I would like to share two recent documents showing the strong efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc in fighting Covid-19.
A) https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ka76CL50hR_a0b5oIhEAVY4gfyqkJcBxXBcP0r2nrz0/mobilebasic
39. Zinc- The following is a study showing Zn2+ Inhibits Coronavirus and Arterivirus RNA Polymerase Activity In Vitro and Zinc Ionophores Block the Replication of These Viruses in Cell Culture:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2973827/pdf/ppat.1001176.pdf
40. Here is a trial on the efficacy of Zinc on the common cold: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15496046 
44. 4) Another potential Quercetin anti-Covid-19 mechanism: https://mobile.twitter.com/taitlog/status/1248776042291933186
46. And this tweet: https://mobile.twitter.com/__ice9/status/1249820862745894913
47. I will now proceed to link articles and videos related to Quercetin’s potential to fight COVID-19.
54. Quercetin as Zinc Ionophore and COVID-19 Outpatient Management By DrBeen Medical Lectures:
55. MedCram Video Update #35- This was one of the first mentions on the potential of Quercetin to act as a Zinc Ionophore like Hydroxychloroquine to inhibit virus replication, thereby potentially acting as a treatment for SARS-COV-2/ COVID-19:
56. Eastern Virginia Medical School Critical Care COVID-19 Management Protocol & earlier treatment recommendation/ They recommend Quercetin 250mg-500mg each day.
https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_medicine/EVMS_Critical_Care_COVID-19_Protocol.pdf
58. I will now proceed to provide anecdotal evidence of people who took Quercetin/Zinc as a remedy for COVID-19. Thank you @ScarofOdysseusfor collecting many of these cases and your ongoing work on providing anecdotal support to this potential treatment. https://mobile.twitter.com/ScarofOdysseus/status/1249647539684552704
