I've been having lingering sinusitis and eustachian tube blockage from covid going on 12 weeks now. I've done many conventional and alternative therapies.

I've been taking bht in varying doses starting with the pinch for 9 days, up to 900 mg some days, 600 yesterday. Generally my eustachian tube pressure is down 90 percent and my sinuses have cleared a lot. It seems to be working as a decongestant in a way. I still have loss of smell and taste and I've been having severe sleep disfunction for weeks. Not sure where I go from here.

This use of BHT to treat and prevent covid 19 is too important not to make more noise about it. If the powers that be about all this need something that sounds more scientific, here is my take on it: Butylated Phenols are oxidized at the tert-butyl groups during digestion, and these metabolites are still very lipophilic but do have some added O-H groups that cause these molecules to move about rapidly once embedded in the lipid envelopes of the different viruses including covid 19. Each O-H or hydroxy group is in effect a dipolar spot on the larger molecule. This rapid movement helps destroy the lipid coatings decloaking the viruses and marking them for destruction by the bodies' defense mechanisms. Also, there are three tert-butylated phenols. You have a phenol ring with one, two, or three tert-butyl groups. These are called BHA, butylated hydroxyanisole with one tert-butyl group. Then BHT, butylated hydroxytoluene with two tert-butyl groups. And TBP, tri 2,4,6 tert-butyl phenol with three tert-butyl groups. The different sizes may be very important in creating the best treatments. It does seem likely that BHA with only one tert-butyl group would penetrate the viral envelopes more readily, for example. There have been animal studies using BHT and BHA together more effectively than either one used alone. I have not heard of anything more promising.

Thanks Bill for sharing this e-book with us. Very interesting how simple one can treat viruses. Hope more people will read it and get BHT. rgs

Concerning using BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) against COVID-19 infections, here is a short, free explanatory ebook (PDF) by Steve Fowkes on how to use BHT as an anti-oxidant for general for health, anti-aging and against lipid-coated viruses.

http://www.projectwellbeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/BHTbook-StevenWmFowkes-100903.pdf

Steve Fowkes is one of the few researchers (along with other researchers like GM Williams) who, through his own well-known and extensive research, strongly supports using BHT against viruses like COVID-19. This downloadable ebook contains all you need to know about BHT and I thought this book would perhaps be particularly useful to help allay any fears that people might have about using BHT.

Couldn't agree more, Josef! I purchased BHT about a month ago (lots of it, so that I can share it with others). If taken in small amounts, it certainly can't hurt anyone. It was used for decades in cereals, etc. And if those small amounts even just 'might' protect us from COVID, then I am all IN! Stay safe, everyone! (And please listen to information from Dr. Fauci and other equally experienced and qualified immunologists/virologist--*not* to the politicians, who are putting their party/agenda, before the lives of their fellow Americans.)

One of the best kept secrets around is BHT, short for butylated hydroxy toluene.

It has been around for the better part of thirty years, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense. Without going into all the details which would fill many pages, some of the benefits are difficult to ignore. Even so, pharmaceutical as well as the medical profession does their best to do so.

Some of the reasons are that that there is no money to be made by pharmaceutical companies as patents related to BHT ran out long time ago and in order to have it approved for medical application it would require an immeasurable amounts of human tests with expenditures in the millions of Dollars which most likely will never be recovered.

On the other hand, many doctors may know about BHT but will refrain from suggesting it as recommending anything which is not approved by the FDA would leave them wide open to lawsuits, as it is pretty well known that one of the American dreams is, to fall on your neighbors property and then sue them for what ever they can get.

Over the years enough information about BHT has surfaced that if used in small quantities to achieve a particular result, such as from 100 mg to about 1g (one gram or 1000mg) and in most cases 250mg to 450mg may do a nice job for some of the things suggested, it may be less harmful than an equivalent amount of Aspirin. Again, do your own research and use common sense which appears to be in short supply these days.

Even so, if you still apprehensive or hesitant use BHT only when one of those nasty viruses appears on the scene and use it as a prophylactic in a small quantity perhaps 200 mg and once the danger subside stop taking it.

The catch is that in order to do its job, BHT works better before you get sick, as BHT will NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGE which may already have been done by an infectious disease such as the coronavirus.

Even so if taken afterwards BHT will still continue to disable lipid covered viruses, but to repair any damage already caused may require different medications.

So why to take BHT on the first place? It has been long known that BHT will remove the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such a virus and by doing so will prevent such a virus from attaching itself and do its dirty work.

The Principal Benefits of BHT

In order of importance, supplementing with BHT can help with:

Reduce and prevent viral infections such as herpes, thus terminating their outbreaks. Also BHT is effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes, 11 HIV, 12 and some strains of influenza. 13 A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be treated by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat these infections.

The CORONAVIRUS is also a lipid covered virus and BHT affects the lipid covering and in turn prevents the virus from attaching itself and do its damage. Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well. So when everything comes down to being cut and dried, do you prefer risking being infected with a nasty virus with all kinds of unpredictable side effects or take a chance with some substance which overall has a very good safety record.

Hi everyone, For those interested in taking BHT for viruses, here's a video we just published a quick video YouTube. https://youtu.be/No-yTPSoXbY

I would wholly agree with both Lee and Tyler Vincent’s view of BHT. I bought 500 gms of BHT powder (USP grade) direct from an online chemical supplier and it only cost me $8.50.

For the last 3 or 4 weeks, I’ve been taking BHT at between 250 mgs to 500 mgs every day dissolved in coconut oil (which also kills the COVID-19 virus) as a preventative and for protection against the virus. I have also calculated, at that daily dose, that my BHT powder should last me between 3 and 4 years of constant daily supplementation if required.

I love it when you can find such a cheap remedy like BHT for use against a nasty virus like COVID-19 because that also means that BHT is accessible and easily affordable to everyone who needs it.

I have consumed BHT many times over the years for its antiviral and antiaging. Never regularly. Most recently, when coming down with a sore throat and fatigue twice over the past 60 days, I took just one 350 mg capsule of BHT on an empty stomach with a small glass of warm water. My symptoms disappeared within the hour. Now I'm not sure if this was the beginning stage of coronavirus or just a cold, but it worked.

Hi Tyler, I read all your postings. WOW, what a success story. I have no problem believing that the BHT worked as well as you said it does. I had the same amazing results using BHT to cure my hepatitis C infection. In one of your posts you mentioned BHT is found in some fungi that grows on olives. BHT is also found in 4 different phytoplankton, some lichen, a certain fruit, and others. So this BHT is every bit as natural as any herb. Keep posting everywhere. People need to hear from you.
