Treatment from banana protein works against all known COVID variants, study shows [View all]
https://news.yahoo.com/treatment-from-banana-protein-works-on-all-covid-variants-141127520.htmlA revolutionary new treatment derived from banana protein offers hope for a new medicine which works against all coronavirus variants.
The chemical - H84T-BanLec - is isolated from banana fruit and works against all coronavirus variants and all flu variants.
It was initially designed before the pandemic to target flu, with the researchers hoping to move on to target coronaviruses but - ironically - COVID lockdowns put a stop to the research.
The researchers then discovered that the treatment, which has only been tested on animals to date, works on COVID-19.
May work for all flues and might even be a break thru for some cancers.
