Yes, medical experts in America, Britain and China reveal that common zinc tablets, over-the-counter oscil-lococcinum, elderberry and other herbal treatments — even garlic! — can help beat the bug that’s triggered panic and chaos all over the planet.

The bombshell revelation comes from therapy tapes, where the now-divorced but still battling pair thrashed out their issues and Amber admits to battering the Pirates of the Caribbean star. On the audio, the 33-year-old bisexual blonde admits knocking her 56-year-old hubby to the floor by slamming a bathroom door in his face and then socking him in the jaw. Depp notes: “I then stood up, I don’t even know if I said — I mean, I might’ve said like, ‘What the f**k,’ you know, whatever. ’Cause I’d just been hit in the head with a f**king corner of the door. “And then I stood…

A SWEET five-year-old was butchered in Texas by her own mother, who says she beheaded the girl because “she asked for cereal!” Murderous mom Krystle Villanueva, 27, was sent to the slammer for life for the 2017 murder of Giovanna Hernandez — a slaying so bloody and brutal it left even hardened investigators shaken. “I’ve been in this line of work for over 43 years — 11 years as a homicide detective,” Hays County Sheriff Gary Cutler said after Villanueva’s arrest. “This is one of the worst cases I’ve ever seen and been a part of.” On the day of the grisly crime, the child’s grandfather Eustorgio Arellano-Uresti called 911 and said Villanueva had stabbed him in the back and head. He’d fled the home but told authorities his deranged…

AFTER a frightening five days being hospitalized with the coronavirus in Australia, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson showed their wacky and serious sides as they completed their quarantine in a rented home.

SWAPPING just 100 calories of meat for a veggie substitute each day can make you live longer! Researchers who analyzed the diet of 37,000 American adults found that replacing just 5 percent of total meat calories a day — or about 100 calories according to dietary guidelines — with plant protein was linked to an almost 50 percent decreased risk of death! Findings also show that people who ate the most plant protein — which includes nuts, whole grains and beans — were 29 percent less likely to die of coronary heart disease. “It isn’t enough just to avoid red meat — it’s also about what you choose to eat in place of red meat,” says Dr. Zhilei Shan of the Harvard School of Public Health, who led the study.…

ELLEN DEGENERES is locked in a fierce war with upstart chatterbox Kelly Clarkson, who’s vowed to unseat the catty comic as TV’s talk show queen bee, insiders say! While Ellen currently rules the roost of gabby cluckers, she’s feeling Kelly’s heat and it’s triggering mood explosions, spies tell GLOBE. “Kelly’s been pushing her buttons and Ellen’s been cussing behind the scenes,” a source tattles. “She’s worried about ratings and Kelly getting ahead of her. What makes it worse is Kelly’s touting it all over town. “A lot of people think Ellen’s soft and mushy and a real pushover, but she’s not. She can get in a bad mood real fast.” The 37-year-old singer’s NBC talk show has been a ratings winner from the get-go due to her engaging personality. She…

FORMER President Barack Obama’s heart-shattered daughter Malia has called off her wedding to fiancé Rory Farquharson after he was caught on camera cuddling another beauty! Malia immediately turned to her mother, Michelle, for advice, according to insiders, who say the former first lady told the Harvard coed to take a deep breath and figure out what she really wants in life. Michelle told Malia that’s the best way to handle a crisis in a relationship, insiders say. In her best-selling memoir, Becoming, Michelle admits she used a similar strategy — and couples therapy — when her marriage to Barack reached the breaking point decades ago.

The popular pair were missing March 16 and being watched for symptoms of the world-infecting bug, as were other office and control room staff — a situation that caused a significant “reduction of critical personnel.” Meanwhile, anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb practiced social distancing by staying far apart at their anchor stations. Later, Roker sent out the message: “Hey everybody, I hope everybody’s staying safe. “I hate to use ‘social distancing I think ‘physical distancing.’ Socially, we want to connect more than ever, to that end I will see you tomorrow morning on the Today show, we will…

THE “shocking announcement” that the latest Bachelor couple, Peter Weber and Madison Prewett, have called it quits after just TWO DAYS of togetherness is just another unsurprising cheap trick! The plain fact is these matchmaker reality shows aren’t about real romances — they’re phony, dopey diversions for TV voyeurs. And they’re outrageously exploitive! We all know how difficult the love game is — and it’s going to be almost impossible for couples who are shoved together on rigged shows where story lines are dreamed up to add drama. Here’s the proof: Out of 24 seasons, the number of couples still together from The Bachelor is — get this — FOUR! The lovebirds still together, after exposing all sorts of private embarrassing stuff to each other and the world are: season…

WONDER Woman hunk Lyle Waggoner took a shocking secret to his grave — he hated the TV series about the Amazon superhero who made him famous! The muscular, six-foot-three, former high school wrestler and high jumper, who died at 84 after a battle with cancer, resented his character Gen. Steve Trevor, who constantly had to be saved by star Lynda Carter on the original ‘70s series, which was set in the 1940s. “Steve tried his best, but had to be rescued by Wonder Woman,” he once grumbled. Says a source: “Lyle felt he was eye candy” on the series. Ironically, that’s exactly how he started his showbiz career. After selling door-to-door in his native Kansas, he took the advice of customers and decided to give Hollywood a try. He lost out…

After their petulant demand for freedom from royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confessed they made a “terrible mistake!” GLOBE has learned — and have pleaded with the queen to take them back! “As their last day as working royals loomed March 31, they realized they’re facing a harsh new reality — surviving as ordinary folks who have to work for a living,” a well-placed palace insider reveals exclusively. “They’ve been living in a fantasy world fueled by money-hungry Meghan. She convinced henpecked Harry they could take the world by storm and make megamillions if they ditched the royals.” Now they appear to be regretting their rash move. “Without their HRH titles,” adds the senior…

With her Live with Kelly and Ryan show banning studio audiences, the bubbly blonde visited her dermatologist, Dr. Robert Anolik, and teased him about bravely treating her condition. “It’s Botox deficiency,” she quipped, which causes “a lot of side effects — lines and wrinkles!” “In this time, there has been a lot of worrying. You can see it written all over my face.

GUTSY Colorado Sheriff’s deputy Michelle Ross fought a rabid six-foot, 91-pound cougar with her bare hands — and lived to tell the terrifying tale! Mighty Michelle’s ordeal began when Larimer County’s law was called after the mountain lion mauled a construction worker in Loveland and was chased off by a witness. But the wildcat didn’t go far. When Michelle searched the area, she was bushwhacked by the snarling beast. “THE only thing that came across my mind was, ‘You have to live,’” says Michelle, who credits her survival to police training. “It was literally a fight for my life.” According to witnesses, she punched the aggressive animal’s snout away from her face as the battle was captured on video camera.
