Medical Herbs Inhibit Inflammation Directing T Cells to Kill the COVID-19 Virus (COVID)

Summary

The human immune system is designed to protect individuals from external sources of infection and internal cell mutation. It works effectively and efficiently until inflammation disturbs its functioning. Once compromised by inflammation, the immune system loses its capacity to recognize antigens and dependably defend the body against disease and illness. When COVID-19 invades humans, it causes an immune-storm (cytokine-storm) that can directly damage the organ(s), leading to death. The virus is an antigen - a trigger - but it is not the actual reason that causes organ failure and death; instead, it is the body's over immune reaction that is the cause. In attempting to protect the body, the immune system overreacts to the antigen, which includes the infected cells, which causes a cytokine-storm, and the subsequent and rapid shut down of the infected individual's organ(s)' structure, leaving the body without sufficient strength or time to fight back. When the medical herbs join the body, it can slow down the immune reaction. Medical herbs benefit the physical body; they protect the cells and organism structure and mediate the immune response, allowing the T cells to kill the virus (mutated or not) internally. Such success has been achieved by the All Natural Medicine Clinic during pre-clinical trials. This clinical study's goal is to demonstrate that the immune system can be rebuilt and retrained, using natural medicine (i.e., medical herbs), to kill the virus without causing the immune storm, and to explore the mechanism by which these medical herbs, which have been used for thousands of years for healing, achieve results.
