Phthalocyanine

30th treatment shown to reduce risk in December 2021

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

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

No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments. ^* >10% efficacy, ≥3 studies.

4,900+ studies for 102 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.
