These are the white blood cells that come in after the inflammation to cool things off. I'm not sure Lysine can do much if these Macrophages have been killed.
Now this is a theory, like almost everything else, so trying Lysine make sense! Maybe these WBCs don't all die. Great idea.[/color][/b]
Real interesting, thanks. I'm no expert either but one other point and this is maybe speculation but the authors of that study of Lysine and covid say that Lysine is not a cure but it really inhibits the virus (80% patients min. 70% reduction in symptoms in 48 hours!) giving your immune system the ability to fight it which is what cures you. So it is the WBC or immune system that is important there supposedly. Reading Bill Sardi's article with links to science supporting lysine therapy for covid comes up with a study that says:
Arginine depletion as a therapeutic approach for patients with COVID-19
Given the preclinical evidence summarized in this article, arginine appears to be a key metabolite important for successful viral replication, and there are clear steps in the SARSCoV-2 lifecycle that rely on conserved arginine residues. Furthermore, arginine is also a key substrate in the host inflammatory response, and reduction of serum plasma arginine levels could plausibly attenuate the severe inflammatory response in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
So supposedly even with inhibited WBCs the Lysine with reduction in arginine directly inhibit the virus as well as additionally limiting the inflammation so maybe that would take a bit of load off of the "cooling" WBCs not there anymore?
