A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University say they have found that ulvan could help stop the spread of coronavirus.

Could a substance extracted from edible marine algae stop coronavirus from infecting human cells?

Ulvan, the major water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from the cell wall of green seaweed, could help stop coronavirus from infecting human cells, according to a team of researchers from Tel Aviv University.

“The lack of access to vaccines takes the lives of many victims and even accelerates the creation of new variants,” said TAU’s Prof. Alexander Golberg, who led the study on ulvan that was recently published in PeerJ − a peer-reviewed science journal. “The study is still in its early stages, but we hope that the discovery will be used in the future to develop an accessible and effective drug, preventing infection with the coronavirus.

“Our findings at this stage arouse cautious optimism,” he said.

Golberg and his team have been working with seaweed for the past eight years, looking for different compounds, mainly for the food industry. But he said that during the first lockdown, they started to think about how they could play a role in helping find solutions for the pandemic. Through other research they knew that certain seaweed compounds had antiviral properties and so decided they wanted to evaluate them against COVID.

If indeed seaweed is found to be effective in stopping the transmission of COVID it will never be acknowledged.  Too much money is to be made by the pharmaceutical companies and governments would lose control over people.  Not going to happen.

100% agree.  Big Pharma has went "all in" on COVID.  They and their MSM and Big Tech lackeys will be starting the disinformaton campain in no time.

Wait a minute....

I'm having trouble reconciling the statement. If you are dead, you can't be cooking up new variants or spreading them.


I'm good for finding whatever will help people, but I think the top two regimens so far have been brutally ignored or decried unfairly with 'studies' which were designed to produce failure.
