# Resources & Tools

## Treatments

Here are the drugs and nutrients [NaturalNews lists](https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-04-05-single-dose-of-agricultural-drug-ivermectin-eliminate-coronavirus.html) as the best candidates for urgent clinical trials, as these may turn out to be highly effective treatments or even cures for the coronavirus, especially in combination:

* Hydroxychloroquine
* Zinc
* Vitamin D
* IV vitamin C therapy
* Ivermectin

## Alternative news, software, and technology

Alphabet (Google), Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, the mainstream media, et al spy on you, censor you, and lie to you because they think you are stupid.

Arm yourself with knowledge and alternative software so that whenever possible, you can avoid using their products and further enriching them.

### News

* [Cor.ax](https://cor.ax) - News aggregator site built and maintained by libertarians.
* [The Corbett Report](https://www.corbettreport.com/) - Definitely not to be confused with Stephen Colbert.
* [Gab Trends](https://trends.gab.com) - A free speech friendly news aggregator.
* [Nitter](https://nitter.net/) - Lightweight (15x lighter than Twitter in some cases), tracking disabled Twitter replacement frontend. Javascript disabled by default.

### Video sites and software

* [lbry.tv](https://lbry.com/faq/lbry-basics) - Peer to peer, decentralized file sharing and payment network secured by blockchain technology. Saves content you view to disk by default.
* [Spee.ch](https://spee.ch/about) - LBRY network media hosting service that stores your content on a decentralized network of computers.
* [Bitchute](https://www.bitchute.com/) - WebTorrent-powered/censorship resistant YouTube alternative.
* [Invidio.us](https://invidio.us) - An alternative YouTube frontend. Lightweight (4 KB), does not use any of the official YouTube APIs. **No ads.** | [GitHub](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/) lists mirrors/other instances in case the main site is down.

### Software

* [archive.today](https://archive.today) - Archiving tool which can be used to take a "snapshot" of any webpage in its current state, [which can often be quite useful and revealing](https://www.theburningplatform.com/2020/04/07/the-coronavirus-encounters-of-an-average-american-nobody/). Can also be used to deny hostile websites (CNN, NYT, WaPo, etc.) ad revenue from clicks.
* [NewPipe](https://newpipe.schabi.org/) - Lightweight YouTube app for Android.
* [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) - Swiss army knife for downloading video and audio content from [a wide variety of sources](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html), including YouTube. Written in Python. Cross-plaform, updated frequently.
* [Riot](https://about.riot.im/) - A secure Discord alternative. End-to-end encrypted chat based on the [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) protocol. There are also [other clients](https://matrix.org/clients/) for Matrix, on Mobile, Desktop, Terminal, Web, and even Nintendo 3DS platforms.
* [Threema](https://threema.ch) - Full-featured, Swiss-made “End-to-End Encrypted Messaging Application”, “EEEMA” (or 3-E-MA, Threema). Can be used without phone number or email address. Android/iOS.


### Text

* [Encrypt your text](https://gillmeister-software.com/online-tools/text/encrypt-decrypt-text.aspx) - You can’t censor a language you don’t understand, therefore, encrypt your posts.
