4. Other antiviral medications
A large number of existing antiviral drugs are also being tested for use in COVID-19. This includes the combination of lopinavir and ritonavir formed into one drug under the brand name Kaletra, which is actually a licensed treatment for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
In a study finished last month and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers in China looked at 199 patients and found that the combination didn’t show any benefit.
However, its effectiveness is being investigated right now in a WHO trial called SOLIDARITY. The European-based DISCOVERY trial is also looking at lopinavir and ritonavir in patients who are infected with COVID-19.

It is not true that the long-proven Cathcart Titration Method is either dangerous (it has never harmed anyone) nor that it has ever failed with any Corona virus. Various desperate trials have shown promise despite the failure of medical efforts to utilize the actual treatment. Trials by physicians with “megadoses” have not used the correct amounts (200-300 grams per day) but instead tiny fractions of the needed amounts (never reported, but almost certainly), and have still saved lives according to the NYT. It is an ongoing crime by physicians and researchers that has cost millions of lives over tge 42 years since Cathcart’s research was first published (ChemTech, Feb 1978).
