Summary:Methods and compounds for preventing and arresting COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, via inhibition of Interleukin-6, TNF-alpha, and other cytokines, and via reduction of C-reactive proteins are provided. Analyses of patients with COVID-19 complicated by ARDS, for example, show highly activated cytotoxic T-cells, resulting from hyperactivation of the immune system. A significant surge of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-α, and other cytokines are thought to be mediators of this enhanced T-cell activity, and runaway inflammation that are dangerous or fatal to the patient. Example oral formulations dubbed BV-4051 and Artovid-20 provide prophylaxis and treatment of these conditions caused by COVID-19 disease. The example formulations contain plant extracts boosting the human immune system and targeting the detrimental effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in its various strains.
