Understanding COVID-19
COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus related to other widely spread viruses, such as MERS, SARS, and the common cold
It can cause severe illness, is highly infectious and has the ability to rapidly mutate, evading both our immune systems and vaccines that trigger immune response
Serious illness also relates to how one reacts to inflammation (cytokine storm) and how easily the body forms blood clots
High fever, cough, and shortness of breath are all well-known symptoms of COVID-19
It can cause more dangerous conditions, oxygen levels can become dangerously low, often fatal
It has also been seen that an abnormal number of small blood clots present in severely ill patients can travel through the body blocking vital organs
It is now believed that both the poor oxygen exchange and formation of blood clots can all be traced back to overactivity of the immune system (cytokine storm)
Treating COVID-19 with Aspirin
Aspirin is a proven, safe, and widely used drug that is very effective in treating three of the most dangerous symptoms of the virus:
Viral Load: The amount of virus in your body
Inflammation: Aspirin is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent
Blood Clotting: thinning the blood” and thereby preventing clotting
In many hospitals, Aspirin has been used in the treatment of severe COVID-19 cases. It is one of the reasons it is thought that the death rate from this virus has been reduced.
A recent study published from The University of Maryland School of Medicine found patients on Aspirin were 43% less likely to require intensive care treatment and were 47% less likely to die from COVID-19. (ref:——)
ELA, WITH ITS SUPERIOR DELIVERY SYSTEM, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DELIVER EVEN BETTER RESULTS.
Advantages of ELA over Aspirin
Enhanced Liquid Aspirin delivers the same pharmaceutical benefits as Aspirin but at a higher degree of efficacy
Improved delivery system allows the drug to enter cells in higher amounts making the new formulation significantly more effective
Furthermore, as a liquid, ELA is significantly gentler on the stomach and so is safer than normal Aspirin
ELA has been shown to be far better at controlling inflammation than standard Aspirin
ELA may better control the devastating inflammation caused by COVID19—in addition to reducing the amount of virus in the body and preventing blood clots
Lowering the number of patients requiring hospitalization, protecting against mutations and future pandemics
“Unless you have a perfect vaccine, which very few are, you’ll always have people who end up getting sick. With or without a vaccine, we’re going to need other treatments.”
A Vaccine Is Not Enough
While successful vaccines are mission critical to ending the pandemic, they do have limitations
It is not known how long immunity to COVID-19 will last
Many people who will not have access to it, may refuse to take it, or will simply not form immunity
The virus will continue to mutate, making certain vaccines obsolete
In order to defeat COVID-19, we also need a way to treat the illness itself. As we see every year with the flu, millions still become seriously ill and thousands die despite the ready availability of vaccines
We must be ready to face future outbreaks with stockpiles of treatments that can prevent serious illness and crippling levels of hospitalization. A safe and effective treatment will help stop a pandemic.
