A Sri Lankan faith healer claims to have created a concoction that is a âmiracle cureâ for Covid-19 that will offer âlifetime protectionâ against the disease. A purported recipe for the alternative medicine was subsequently shared thousands of times on Facebook and Instagram,

advising people to âmake [it] at homeâ. The claim, however, is misleading; Sri Lankan medical practitioners advise the public against taking medication that has not received the approval of professional medical agencies; as of December 15, 2020, there is no âcureâ for Covid-19, according to international health authorities.Â
This Facebook post published on December 8, 2020 purports to show a copy of the âmiracle cureâ recipe created by a Sri Lankan faith healer.Â
