All coronaviruses use the same molecular \u2018doorway\u2019 (ACE2 receptor) to enter the cells of the lung and other organs to infect the human body.<\/p>\n<p>2. Any therapy that significantly lowers these viral entry ports \u2013 by decreasing the production\/ expression of these ACE2 receptors in our body \u2013 must lead to a significant protection against COVID19 infections.<\/p>\n<p>3. Since all mutations of the coronavirus use this very same cell entry, such an approach would also signify a major step towards effective prevention of all future mutations of the coronavirus \u2013 a precondition to end the COVID19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>4. Completely blocking these \u2018doors\u2019, e.g. with a vaccine\/antibody strategy directed against the ACE2 receptors, could lead to severe health problems, since a minimum level of these receptors is essential for health.<\/p>\n<p>5. Understanding how these cellular entry ports can be decreased to a desirable minimum by natural means is a key step towards developing effective public health strategies that can help to prevent infections with current coronaviruses \u2013 as well as future, as yet unknown mutations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-662d0d0805006\" data-id=\"662d0d0805006\" data-height=\"160\" data-height-mobile=\"160\" data-height-tab=\"160\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1669625024122{margin-right: 75px !important;margin-left: 75px !important;border-top-width: 5px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-bottom-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;border-left-color: #0d529b !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #0d529b !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #0d529b !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #0d529b !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Vitamin C<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Broccoli Extract<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Quercetin<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Black Tea Extract<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Turmeric Extract<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Baicalin<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Naringin<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Resveratrol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668165839806{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]The Dr. Rath Research Institute investigated a multitude of combinations of vitamins and other micronutrients for their best efficacy to inhibit not just the first steps of infection, the entry of the coronavirus into human cells, but all key mechanisms of coronavirus infections.<\/p>\n<p>The research results formed the basis of the patented technology to help to fight various mutations of coronavirus infections naturally.
