Research: The engineered spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 can be stopped by a common "weed" that is eradicated from lawns every year. A German university study found that dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale ) can block the binding of spike proteins to ACE2 cell surface receptors in human lung and kidney cells.

The plant-derived dandelion leaf water-based extract was effective against spike protein D614 and a variety of mutant strains, including D614G, N501Y, K417N, and E484K.
Dandelion extract blocks SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins and their variants.

The researchers used high-molecular-weight compounds from a water-based dandelion extract and tested them in human HEK293-hACE2 kidney and A549-hACE2 TMPRSS2 lung cells. The dandelion blocked protein-to-protein interactions between the S1 subunit of the spike protein and the human ACE2 cell surface receptor.
This effect was also true for the spike protein mutations of the predominant variants in circulation, including the British (B.1.1.7), South African (B.1.351), and Brazilian (P.1) variants.
Dandelion extract stopped the attachment of SARS-CoV-2-tipped pseudotyped lentivirus particles to lung cells and halted an inflammatory process called interleukin-6 secretion.

Since the study was conducted in vitro, further clinical studies are needed to understand how dandelion extract is absorbed and utilized in biological systems of the human body.
As vaccines weaken herd immunity, natural herbs promise true prevention and stronger immunity
Although tens of billions of public funds have been poured into experimental vaccine development and propaganda campaigns, the world continues to struggle with new respiratory infections as SARS-CoV-2 is pressured to mutate into different variants.

There is no evidence that coronaviruses can be eradicated from the earth, so human adaptation will be critical in the future. Dandelion extract is one of many herbs that contribute to a healthy immune response. Better yet, dandelion extract could prevent infections altogether by blocking the exact channel through which spike proteins attach and cause virus replication.
Other natural products have been investigated with molecular docking studies.

Nobiletin is a flavonoid isolated from citrus peels. Neohesperidin, a derivative of hesperetin, is a flavanone glycoside also found in citrus fruits. Glycyrrhizin is a molecular compound extracted from licorice root . All three of these natural compounds also block the binding of spike proteins to ACE2 receptors. Hydroalcoholic pomegranate peel extract blocks spike protein at the ACE2 receptor with 74 percent efficacy.
When its major components were tested separately, punicalagin was 64 percent effective and ellagic acid was 36 percent effective.
These natural compounds (along with dandelion extract) can be easily mass produced, combined, and used as preventative medicine for all future spike protein variants.

These herbs are generally considered safe and there are no known cases of overdose with dandelion leaf extract .
According to the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy, the recommended dosage of dandelion leaves is 4-10 grams in hot water up to three times daily......

The study authors warn that reliance on vaccines is risky and dangerous, not only for individual health but also for herd immunity. Reliance on vaccines focuses only on increasing antibodies and proves to be a high-risk intervention with short-term results. Vaccine adverse events are frequently reported. Re-infections after vaccination are also common as the vaccine puts pressure on the original engineered spike protein to mutate.
The authors concluded, "Factors such as the low toxicity in humans and the effective binding inhibition of five relevant spike mutations to the human ACE2 receptor, as reported here in vitro, encourage more in-depth analysis of the efficacy of T. officinales in SARS-CoV-2 prevention and now require further confirmatory clinical evidence."
