Study: Giving Men Female Hormones Could Reduce the Severity Of Their ‘Covid-19’

Researchers from California suggest that injecting men with the female sex hormone progesterone could improve the outcomes for those with severe COVID-19 infections.

The study follows several reports that claimed men are at a higher risk of severe illness and death from the covid virus than women.

The Mail Online reports: The research was undertaken by pulmonologist Sara Ghandehari of the Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and her colleagues.

‘As an ICU doctor, I was struck by the gender disparity among COVID-19 patients who were very sick, remained in the hospital and needed ventilators,’ she said. 

Progesterone is produced in both men and women’s bodies, although the latter produce considerably more of the hormone during their reproductive years. 

Experts have also noted that premenopausal women tend to experience less severe cases of COVID-19 than their postmenopausal counterparts.

Premenopausal women tend to have higher progesterone levels while such tends to decrease to lower levels post-menopause.

One group acted as a control sample, for comparison, and received only the standard medical care given at that time for the disease.

The experimental group, meanwhile, also received 100 milligram injections of progesterone twice daily for five days during the time they were hospitalised.

All the patients were assessed by the team daily for either 15 days or until they were discharged from hospital.

On the seventh day, each patient was ranked on a standard seven-point scale of clinical status, which ranged from 7 (‘not hospitalized, no limitations on activities’) though to 1 (‘death’).

The researchers found that, compared with the control group, patients who received the progesterone treatments scored a median of 1.5 points higher on the scale.

The experimental group also had fewer days of hospitalisation overall and a lower need for supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation, although the team said the differences between the groups in these areas was not  statistically significant.

No serious adverse effects were observed as a result of the progesterone injections. Two patients did die during the 15-day study period — one from each of the two groups — but such were unrelated to the experiment treatments, the team said

While our findings are encouraging for the potential of using progesterone to treat men with COVID-19, our study had significant limitations,’ cautioned Dr Ghandehari.

Firstly, she explained, the sample size was relatively small and was primarily made up of White, Hispanic and obese individuals with a moderate burden of other conditions, which serve to increase the risk of worse outcomes.

Furthermore, while the trial was randomised and featured a control group, it was also unblinded — meaning that the research team, physicians and patients all knew who had received the experimental treatment.  

‘Further research is necessary in larger, more heterogeneous populations, including postmenopausal women and at other treatment centres,’ Dr Ghandehari added.

This, she continued, will allow the team ‘to establish the degree of clinical efficacy and to assess any other potential safety concerns of this treatment approach.’

  1. This whole thing with Covid 19 Vaccines and Female Hormones is a Depopulation Scheme by the Elites.. If Anyone is under 30 years old and in there Child Bearing Years do NOT take the Vaccine.

  2. What a load of baloney How many ” patients ” were in their group? Two or three ? What a waste of inch space that crap was

  3. everytime I see a house on fire, there are these red trucks parked out front. Why do these red trucks like to burn down houses?
