RE: The potentials of tropical plants in the management of COVID-19 symptoms

Thank you very much for this article, which I consider a contribution to a different understanding than what it generally sounds like.

All too easily we forget the wider perspective of seeing ourselves as living beings that have undergone millions of years of evolution. All interacting creatures on this planet are constantly doing "their best" to guarantee life. The miracle of evolution is indescribable. Whether virus and bacterium, which live in co-existence with all animals and plants, keep up with the respective changes of the organisms, everything always points to the fact that numerous organisms and forms of existence are always trying to reproduce themselves and to "design" their co-existence as effective as possible. In the face of this assumption of evolution that we have meanwhile accepted, it seems to me very presumptuous to mess up this complex process of adaptation of all planetary events and co-existences and to raise us to omniscientists. Only because we have managed to establish a medicine that is often seen in the wrong light. Man is very often mistaken. In principle, the entire science consists of theses that are (must be) refuted again and again and again. There is no absolute knowledge about the innumerable processes inside and outside our body. We make ourselves the greatest experimenters towards ourselves, that should be clear to us.

It can be assumed that the earthly conditions on this planet are of a fascination that we still cannot explain. The tunnel vision we all get when certain events occur and are put by us into the great communication washing machine must be treated with the utmost caution.

The fear for our own species, for our own preservation paradoxically leads us to take rescue measures out of sheer fear, which, put into perspective, cannot be fully reliable as to their effect. Keyword: monocausality.

What medicine someone wants to believe in is important. We must not denigrate this, but we must be very critical and should be, even if there is a current that can be considered overwhelming.

Indeed. The complex structure of nature makes it such that there is a solution to virtually all problems, even those that are yet to surface. If left untended enough, nature will find a way to heal itself. That is why man must do the barest minimum to disrupt nature because therein lies our survival.

Thanks for coming around with such a nice input.
