A Turkish study on kefir consumption evidences lower levels of dangerous cytokines in healthy patients. I consider next step is trying kefir therapy on covi19-affected patients. I think it could help people out of ventilators. And the good things about kefir therapy:
. little known side effects
. no long term side effects
. insensitive with variants
. transforms every patient as a dead end for the virus (it cannot reproduce and soon is wiped out by the usual system)

Specific fermented foods and probiotics may deliver viable microbes with the potential to promote immunity. In addition, prebiotics, such as Kefir may enhance gut immunity by selectively stimulating certain resident microbes. Different levels of evidence support the use of fermented foods, probiotics, and prebiotics to promote gut and lungs immunity, related to Covid-19.
In my country, in 2020, people threw themselves on vitamin C, D3, Zinc and Selenium. Also, in March and April 2020, lemons simply disappeared from most stores. After almost two years, various types of supplements and superfoods are still being sold. People believe in "immunity" and "improved nutrition" and will continue to believe, even if they have no idea. Scientific studies are full of questions and poor in simple answers that most people can understand (which is why people don't trust them). If the Turks think that eating kefir protects themselves from a virus for which no effective medicine has yet been found, they probably do so because they like that food very much and give it a pseudo-scientific charge. I also read a few articles about the beneficial effects of probiotics in fermented milk, but I have not seen anyone say that they have a decisive role in the treatment of COVID19.
