Arbidol / umifenovir https://rupharma.com/ https://twitter.com/__ice9/status/1316112583754158088?s=19

Russia has widespread availability of Arbidol (umifenovir) and Grippferon (interferon alpha-2b), both of which have been shown in Chinese studies to have some efficacy against COVID-19 (nebulized interferon though).

Bromhexine and tilorone also look very likely to be useful.

Regarding the thymus, a section on short peptide bioregulators would be useful.

They generally just increase expression of particular genes, usually transiently via binding to a promoter. For instance, epitalon is a telomerase activator.

Other Russian stuff:

There is another interferon brand whose name I cannot remember. It is like Grippferon but about 2.5x more potent. Worth looking for

There are no human clinical studies for it against COVID-19. The usual dose is 125mg. Half life is 48 hours.

The effect in stimulating interferon response is potent and systemic. Such a strong interferon inducer should not be used after a few days of symptoms have elapsed.

In other words, it is the kind of thing that might make sense as a 'hit-and-run' interferon ramp-up strategy at the beginning of a symptomatic viral infection, not as much for continued use throughout its course.

Other, milder options include e.g. elderberry syrup and umifenovir

Correct. The fastest source of ambroxol is Mexico. Mexican pharmacies also carry other useful/relevant items. I tend to order mostly from India as selection and price are usually a bit better, but have bought from: India, Mexico, Turkey, Japan, Russia, Latvia, Thailand, etc.
