  • Patent number: 11278602
    Abstract: The invention concerns a medicine and a prophylactic medicine for COVID-19 disease. The inventive medicine targets the endosomic, non-endosomic and/or intracellular viral pathways and inhibits them. The best mode of the invention is considered to be the medicine that blocks all three viral pathways. In the best mode the individual dose of a constituent component of the medicine is arranged to a dosage size sufficient to inhibit its designated SARS-CoV-2 viral pathway. This allows the dose of a particular pharmacological agent to be smaller than in a drug with just one kind of pharmacological agent. The best mode of the invention shuts the two cell membrane viral pathways and the one intracellular viral pathway with the minimum efficient dose, thereby preventing drug overdose, and enabling prophylactic or preventive use.

  • Publication number: 20130011410
    Abstract: The present invention provides the method for prevention and treatment of specific localized intestinal infections and diseases using IgA and IgM antibodies obtained from the eggs of hens which have been hyperimmunized to the same specific infections and diseases. The invention describes the high functionality of IgA and IgM antibodies present in the white of an egg from a hyperimmunized chicken as compared to the IgY from the same egg. The invention also describes the resistance of IgA and IgM to low pH environments such as stomach acids. The invention also describes the inhibition of bacterial growth when bacteria are exposed to IgA antibodies specific to said bacteria together with lysozyme from egg whites.
