Treating infectious diseases with antibodies has a long history. For COVID-19, this approach is also being investigated through the administration of plasma derived from the blood of recovered patients. With the plasma, antibodies of donors are transferred. “Ideally, the most effective antibody is produced in a controlled manner on an industrial scale and in constant quality. This is the goal we are pursuing,” said Dr. Momsen Reincke, also first author of the current publication.
“Three of our antibodies are particularly promising for clinical development,” explained Prof. Dr. Harald Prüss, a research group leader at the DZNE and also a senior physician at the Clinic for Neurology with Experimental Neurology at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. “Using these antibodies, we have started to develop a passive vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.” Such a project requires cooperation with industrial partners. That is why the scientists are collaborating with Miltenyi Biotec.
An article on the front page of our newspaper yesterday cited 4 local doctors who developed a protocol to alleviate the virus' effects on the body. They call it 'ICAM'. Immunosupport - Vitamin C and zinc to boost the system
Anticoagulant -Enoxaparin, blood thinner to help prevent blood clots often seen
with Covid-19
Macrolide -Azithromycin (Z-pac) reduces chances of pneumonia
They said for 76 days their hospital patients had zero transfers into ICU, zero mechanical ventilator placement and zero deaths. They're now doing a 100 patient study with the Florida dept. of Health. All these drugs are generics and readily available. The key is to start treatment early. It would be wonderful to have a successful protocol to treat this beast until we have a vaccine.
"April 13 '20, my partner is sent home from the nursing home, where she is a carer, with suspected Covid-19. April 14 '20, The Hub confirms it as being extremely likely to be Covid-19. April 17th, I start to show symptoms of Covid-19, the start of an 8 day 38.9°C fever. Avoided both Paracetamol and Ibuprofen to let the fever burn itself out thus enabling my immune system to work to it's optimum, upped my Aspirin to 150mg once a day, along with increasing my Nitrate Vasodilators to 20 mgs. 4th day of the fever I started a course of Doxycycline to counteract any secondary infection. April 25th fever subsided. May 1st developed a wheeze, so started a low dose, 15mg, of Prednisalone for 10 days. I managed to avoid hospital admission. I have been taking a vitamins K2& D3 supliment for the last 3 years. A long recovery process is now expected."
