“Anti-SARS coronavirus agent and product containing anti-SARS coronavirus agent.”
*Sunshine reduces cases, deaths from infectionAs Nigeria and indeed the rest of the world grapple with the novel coronavirus, scientists are churning out traditional ‘cures’ for the dreaded disease.
“The anti-SARS coronavirus agent according to this embodiment contains a guava extract extracted from guava using a specific extraction solvent and ascorbic acids as active ingredients.” Contributing to the study on medicinal efficacy of the plant in different ways are: Prof. Ademola Ladele ; Prof. Rasheed Awodoyin ; Professor Olaniyi Babayemi , Professor Olapeju Aiyelaagbe ; Dr. Okhiomah A. Abu ; Dr. Olugbenga AdeOluwa ; Dr. Olajumoke Oke Fayinminnu ; Dr. Funmilayo Adebiyi ; Dr. Idayat Gbadamosi and Dr. Joseph Badejo .
“In Benin , the plant is pounded, mixed with palm oil and licked to treat any form of cough. Traditionally in Nigeria, a handful of fresh leaves steeped in four cups of water, bring to boil, live boiling for three- four minutes and taken as tea for two- three times a day softens dry cough to release mucus as phlegm, which will clear airways and nasal chambers experienced by someone suffering from chronic flu.
The latest study used pre-existing data on vitamin D levels, including from a comprehensive 2019 study led by Paul Lips, Professor Emeritus of internal medicine at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. “[The study shows levels of] vitamin D of 26nmol/L in Spain, 28 nmol/L in Italy and 45 nmol/L in the Nordic countries, in older people,” the researchers write.
A simple statistical analysis, called a t-test, was then performed on the two sets of data to determine any relationship, which unearthed the correlation between deaths and vitamin D levels. Skin cancer researcher, Dr. Rachel Neale, said that having low levels of vitamin D, which the skin produces when exposed to sunlight, increases your chance of getting a respiratory infection – which can be fatal if one also has the coronavirus.
The doctor does not take vitamin D tablets, as she believes time in the sun provides more benefits – but accepts they are useful for people who can’t leave their home.Also, the WHO has broken its silence on the array of scientifically based herbal cure claims for COVID-19. The WHO said medicinal plants such as Artemisia annua are being considered as possible treatments for COVID-19 and should be tested for efficacy and adverse side effects.
