Scientists have advanced more cures for COVID-19. Top on the list are: combination of ivermeticin, zinc and vitamin C; Andrographis paniculata, the key ingredient of IHP Detox Tea; extract of Artemisia annua, which interferes with replication of SARS-CoV-2; snake venom enzyme; metformin; colchicine, melatonin; and essential oils.
Reacting to the advances in traditional medicine as cures for COVID-19, the pioneer of natural cures for COVID-19 in Nigeria, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme (BDCP) and a professor of pharmacognosy, Maurice Iwu, told The Guardian: “The containment of the pandemic has not failed. It is rather a work in progress. We understand the virus better now. I believe that soon Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS CoV-2) will be like any other persistent virus and not so deadly.”
