The Dr. Rath Research Institute is a world leader in science­based natural health. Three decades ago, Dr. Matthias Rath – together with two­time Nobel Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling (†1994) – was already pub­ lishing groundbreaking discoveries on the importance of vitamins in fighting cardiovascular diseases.

Viral Infections

The world’s first patented health technology to help to fight certain viral infections – naturally Viruses are microscopic infectious organisms that can only thrive and multiply after getting inside the cells of another living being. Hu­ mans are particularly susceptible to viral infections, because gen­ erally low vitamin levels weaken our ‘body barriers’ (skin, lung, in­ testine, etc.) against viral entry and our immune system in fighting and eliminating these intruders.

Thus, it comes as no sur­ prise that the coro­ navirus pandemic (COVID­19) is essentially a human­spe­ cific pan­ demic. Ani­ mals can get infected, but they do not fall seriously ill or die from this infection in pan­ demic proportions.

From the very onset of the pan­ demic, the research at the Dr. Rath Research Institute did not focus on developing vaccines against one or the other mutation of the coronavirus.

Pharmaceutical micronutrient composition and its use to simultaniously inhibit multiple cellular mechanisms of infectivity caused by coronavirus, its variants and mutants Inventors: Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, Matthias Rath, Vadim Ivanov, Anna Goc

effective prevention of all future mutations of the coronavirus – a precondition to end the COVID­ 19 pandemic.

4. Completely blocking these ‘doors’, e.g. with a vaccine/anti­ body strategy directed against the ACE2 receptors, could lead to severe health problems, since a minimum level of these re­ ceptors is essential for health.

5. Understanding how these cellular entry ports can be decreased to a desirable minimum by nat­ ural means is a key step towards developing effective public health strategies that can help to pre­ vent infections with current co­ ronaviruses – as well as future, as yet unknown mutations.

Instead, the research team took a fundamentally different and much broader approach, based on the following scientific analysis: 1. All coronaviruses use the same molecular ‘doorway’ (ACE2 re­ ceptor) to enter the cells of the lung and other organs to infect the human body.

2. Any therapy that significantly lowers these viral entry ports – by decreasing the production/ expression of these ACE2 recep­ tors in our body – must lead to a significant protection against COVID­19 infections.

3. Since all mutations of the coro­ navirus use this very same cell entry, such an approach would also signify a major step towards

The Dr. Rath Research Institute in­ vestigated a multitude of combi­ nations of vitamins and other micronutrients for their best effi­ cacy to inhibit not just the first steps of infection, the entry of the coronavirus into human cells, but all key mechanisms of coronavirus infections.

The research results formed the basis of the patented technology to help to fight various mutations of coronavirus infections naturally.

The infection mechanisms inhib­ ited by patented micronutrient combination tested included. They include (see graph): 1. Inhibition of the binding of the coronavirus to human lung and blood vessel cells.

2. Inhibition of coronavirus entry into human body cells.

3. Inhibition of all key enzymes re­ quired for the coronavirus to multiply inside human cells.

4. Inhibition of multiplied corona­ viruses leaving the cells.

In addition, the patented micro­ nutrient combination is able to in­ hibit the dangerous ‘cytokine storm’ associated with the infec­ tion, which causes inflammation and organ damage.

Based on the research results ob­ tained with this micronutrient com­ position, the Patent Office allowed the following statements to be made in connection with COVID­19 and coronavirus infections:

Patent claims allowed (excerpt): ‘A micronutrient composition to treat a SARS­CoV­2 virus infection by inhibiting attach­ ment to a cognate receptor, cellular entry, replication and cellular egress of the SARS­ CoV­2 virus in a mammal’ — that includes human beings.

Micronutrient combinations inhibit all key mechanisms of coro­ navirus infections simultaneously. The patented micronutrient combination inhibits viral binding to human lung and blood vessel cells (attachment), viral entry, viral multiplication (replication) in­ side human cells, as well as newly formed viruses leaving these cells (egress).

This micronutrient combination has been successfully tested to be effective against all known variants/mutations of the coronavirus, in­ cluding the original (Wuhan) variant as well as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Kappa and Omega variants.

Since all coronavirus variants use the same mechanism to infect human cells and the same enzymes to multiply inside these cells, this tested micronutrient combination is likely also to help to prevent in­ fections with future, yet unknown, variants of the coronavirus.
