Phthalocyanine

29th treatment shown to reduce risk in December 2021

^*, now known with p = 0.00019 from 4 studies.

Lower risk for ICU admission, hospitalization, recovery, and viral clearance.

No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. ^* >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.

4,100+ studies for 60+ treatments. c19early.org

RCT 75 patients in Brazil, showing significantly lower viral load with phthalocyanine mouthwash and nasal spray. The combination was more effective than mouthwash alone.
