Coronaviruses
& COVID-19
- Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause respiratory illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Sever Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
- A novel coronavirus, “COVID-19”, is a new strain that had not previously been identified in humans.
Significant Global Economic Impact of
COVID-19
-
The death toll attributable to COVID-19 has surpassed that of the SARS epidemic.
-
Significant economic loss and global trade curtailment has already occurred in a relatively short period of time.
-
As of late February 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has led to more than 77,000 illnesses and 2,600 deaths in China according to the WHO.
-
Outside of China, there have been over 2,000 reported cases across 30 countries with a total of 23 deaths.
Scientific Validation
Previous Investigation
Of relevance to coronavirus, Dr. Hudson conducted a study involving seven respiratory viruses that were tested for infectivity following exposure of dried virus films to certified cedar leaf oil vapour for various periods of time. All were susceptible, although the membrane containing viruses, like coronaviruses, were more vulnerable and were readily killed by short exposures without detrimental effects against the human cells.
Previously published manuscripts authored by Dr. Hudson have concluded that, in a laboratory setting, cedar leaf oil vapour was effective in killing (inactivating) several human respiratory viruses, including influenza virus, rhinovirus, adenovirus, as well as herpes simplex virus.
It was shown that short-term exposure to cedar leaf oil vapour had no adverse effects on cultured lung epithelial cells, thus confirming it is not cytotoxic.
Another interesting finding was that cedar leaf oil vapour also partly reduced the pro-inflammatory effect caused by rhinovirus infection, which means that it acts as a multifunctional therapeutic agent.
