This article suggests lysine as an anti-viral and that lysine supplementation at 2000 mg daily helps to prevent SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic infection: Melano I, Kuo LL, Lo YC, Sung PW, Tien N, Su WC. Effects of basic amino acids and their derivatives on SARS-CoV-2 and influenza-A virus infection. Viruses. 2021 Jul 4;13(7):1301. doi: 10.3390/v13071301.
It should be noted that anti-inflammatories do not prevent or treat the inflammatory autoimmune diseases but only address "the symptoms". Improving life style choices (more exercise, reduce stress, eat more fruit and vegetables) but particularly stopping alcohol and sugar consumption would go along way to help address the cause of these inflammatory diseases. It is a difficult situation indeed, to resolve what the best course of action would be for someone with rheumatoid/osteo arthritis, given that longer term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks [Pepine CJ & Gurbel PA. Clinical Cardiology, July 2017]. The decision to stop statin use (statins can be considered as NSAIDs) is easier to make when used by otherwise healthy individuals. In the clinic, statins, tumeric and melatonin above 2 mgs per day prevented the ability to reverse immunosenescence. This is why I am saying one needs to 'halt' the use of anti-inflammatories (unless only used short term). Note that if you are in the hospital and in the hyperinflammatory stage with COVID-19, they will and should use potent anti-inflammatories. See FLCCC Alliance protocols.
