The older population in The UK are in a rush to get their flu and bivalent covid booster. Many are sick afterwards. Some got both on the same day. Which injection made them ill? Who knows, who cares.

I do not know one older person who declined the latest covid booster. That is how brainwashed the elderly Brits have become. It is sad to watch the sheep go to slaughter. Most of them have had covid post earlier covid vaxxes. They simply don’t get it, but why would they, their GPs are totally SILENT for fear of losing their jobs.

Thank goodness I lost all my friends family and never had kids. I don’t need to mingle to feel alive

I posted this study over two years ago on my social media because I was trying to explain to my friends and family that vaccines have unintended consequences and nonspecific effects that they usually are not tested for and so it’s a bad idea to take vaccines. I used this article as an example. Flu vaccines have been shown in other studies that they increase your risk of other respiratory diseases that the flu shot does not cover. There was also a study done at the beginning of the “pandemic” that showed that getting the flu shot was protective from dying of Covid but when they expand the study to more countries than one, they realized that the flu vaccine had actually been correlated with a higher mortality rate from Covid. Unfortunately, people are so brainwashed about vaccines that they refused to look at evidence that there could ever be anything wrong with them.

And is this cromolyn sodium a prescription medication? Or OTC?

In the US, cromolyn sodium, brand name Gastrocroym , is a prescription. And VERY expensive. My husband tried 2 cheaper generics and they were not effective.

That's not surprising. Thank-you for the info!

Hey, Bandit, I consulted with an associate and this is his opinion re Cromolyn’s suggested use by the paper’s author. (Disclaimer: this is not medical advice.)

“ Interesting, but it’s well reasoned connection is a disjointed collection that may not be connected. The sudden leap to Cromolyn was inspired, but the author didn’t spend enough time researching Cromolyn and that casts the rest in a bad light. The liquid is useless for this purpose and the inhaler is barely still in the market because it’s inferior to the cortico-steroid inhalers somewhat in effect, and massively because the duration of effect is <2hours. The liquid Cromolyn is useless becuase it’s barely absorbed and what is absorbed is so efficiently excreted it might as well be instantly excreted. It’s effective in the lining of the GI tract, but nowhere else because it never gets there. The inhaler will act in the throat, bronchi and lungs, where the inhaler mist made contact, but it won’t have any effect in the nasal passages. There won’t be any change in the dripping and sneezing the author was taking about.”

I disagree. Cromolyn is highly effective against stabilizing mast cells at three to four times per day oral administration. Therefore it can be a potential useful medication in certain patients. Measuring IGE and eosinophils would be useful. Please share this article with your friend. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6407111/ Also there is a clinical trial. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05077917

Thank you, Irene, I will. I don’t think his issue was with its effectiveness in the GI tract, but with getting Cromolyn into the nasal mucosa. Currently, I believe the delivery methods available in the States consist of two: the liquid oral ampules and an inhaler. Getting the drug to the nasal passages would require a nasal mister, like that used for the OTC product Flonase.

This medication would be indicated in patients with interstitial edema and cytokine storm symptoms from IGE mechanisms. This is geared towards the more ill patients day 6-8. Whether the nasal symptoms are helped is not the goal of this medical treatment.

Ahh, thank you for explaining that. Much appreciated.
