Abstract: A multi-phase treatment of a respiratory disease in which one treatment is a lysing defense by applying inhibitory agents to respiratory passages. Application may be by nasal irrigant, oral gargling mouthwash, or smelling salt. Another treatment is an immune system suppressing defense by providing a liposome-based countermeasure to excess activity of the host immune system during COVID-19 infection. The liposome increases bio-activity of probiotics, probiotics-produced therapeutic peptides, bio-peptides, and antioxidant level in the blood with a sustained massive dose of antioxidants to counteract excess oxidation produced by excess activity of the host immune system, when administered through oral route.

Abstract: An herbal remedy to asthma comprising a weighed proportional mixture of Sunnut honey and powder of ground seeds of Solarium dubium. Separation and isolation of active compounds from the methanolic extract of combination was carried out using bioassay-guided fractionation. The in-vivo experiments were implemented to assess the toxicological study of the crude and methanolic extracts of the combination, honey and the seeds. The results revealed that there is no acute or sub-chronic toxicity displayed by the different concentrations of the extracts. The method of Carrageenan induced paw edema in Wister Rats was done to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of aqueous crude extract of S. dubium seeds, honey and combination. The results showed that all ingredients were found to have a significant anti inflammatory activity on paw edema volume.
