Hi JoeyDiamond.....2nd part of your Egyptian post.....
The healthy and stimulating it to produce a special protein against the virus, the interferon does not interfere with the entry of the virus into the cell, but rather prevents the virus from multiplying inside it, which reduces the spread of viral infection from one cell to another in the body, and this is very important for the prevention of viruses. Interferons also activate macrophages and killer T cells.
The affected cell warns its neighbors by secreting interferon as part of a complex system of communication between cells. The interferon attaches to other cells and causes them to kill themselves with a mechanism known as apoptosis, and thus prevent spread, but this is the amazing thing about the covid-19 virus. Large lung, causing a lot of damage Viruses have many deceptive ways to trick our immune system.
So, Bassiouni added, the study tried to compensate for the interferon production stopped due to the Covid-19 virus, and it studied this on a small number of about 100 people, dividing them into two groups. The first: she was treated with interferon, and the second: she was treated with a placebo. The result was, 6% died in the second group, while no patient died from the first group on which the drug was tried. In addition to the fact that this treatment also has the ability to treat other viruses such as influenza, they also found that it is not affected by the genetic mutation of the virus.
They found the following: 79% reduced disease severity or the need for ventilation. The recovery rate has doubled, and it speeds up discharge of patients
The "professor of immunology" indicated that the possible treatments for Covid-19 that are currently available are given after infection with the virus, or only to patients who need oxygen or artificial respiration. This is the difference between it and the interferon, the INF, which is given at a very early stage of the disease.
