I saw on the news two days ago a feature on an anti cancer drug that stops the 
corona virus "on the spot".  I believe it was on CBS. It has already passed 
clinical trials as a cancer treatment for safety.  It will take up to one year 
to get it approved for the corona virus.  The doctor in the article said,  
"What's the hold up?"
Thats the same thing as happed with AIDS.  The cancer drug AZT proved by 
circumstance to be effective against aids.

Another possible contender...

Here’s a promising candidate herb that prevents malaria and tuberculosis

In the world of natural medicine, there are already powerful, well-known
treatments against malaria that also happen to prevent tuberculosis, an
aggressive infection of the respiratory tract. While nothing is yet proven
to treat coronavirus, our review of herbal medicine studies and medicinal
phytochemicals leads us to the conclusion that this Chinese Medicine herb
may one day become known as the “natural cure” for coronavirus (although
clinical trials are needed, obviously, to prove this).

The chemical is called *artemesinin*, and the herb is known as *sweet
wormwood*. And no, we don’t sell it. This isn’t a commercial promotion,
it’s an effort to help save millions of lives using medicine that’s
available right now, all around the world.

Artemesinin is known for its ability to block the bacterial strain that
causes tuberculosis, known as *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. That doesn’t
mean it prevents coronavirus, which is a viral infection, but it’s a strong
candidate for a number of logical reasons.

According to research published in the journal *Phytomedicine*, artemisinin
/ sweet wormwood has a “100% cure rate” for treating drug-resistant
malaria, at least in a small trial involving 18 patients (all of whom were
cured). As Herbs.news writes in this important story

:

*A study led by Pamela Weathers, a professor of biology and biotechnology
at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), published in the journal
Phytomedicine, describes how the Artemisia annua plant, commonly known as
sweet wormwood or sweet annie, saved 18 patients with drug-resistant
malaria from the brink of death.*

*The Congolese patients, who ranged in age from 14 months to 60 years, had
all developed severe, untreatable malaria, with symptoms ranging from loss
of consciousness, to trouble breathing and convulsions, among others. When
they failed to respond to intravenous treatment with an ACT, compassionate
doctors decided to try the dried leaves of the Artemisia annua plant as a
last resort. After only five days of the treatment, all 18 patients were
fully recovered, including one child who had been in a coma. Blood tests
revealed that absolutely no parasites remained in their blood.*

That study was published in *Phytomedicine*, and the full study is
available at this link on ScienceDirect.com.
 The
title of the study is, “Artemisia annua dried leaf tablets treated malaria
resistant to ACT and i.v. artesunate: Case reports.”

There’s even more scientific evidence to back this up. Natural News covered
another story about sweet wormwood herb in 2017, entitled, “Chinese
medicine herb discovered to prevent tuberculosis infections
.”
The story cites a study published in *Nature Chemical Biology*
 in 2011.

Here’s part of that story:
Chinese medicine herb discovered to prevent tuberculosis infections

A recent study reveals that artemisinin, a compound found in sweet
wormwood, shows potential in tuberculosis treatment. This Chinese herbal
medicine is previously known for its efficacy in treating malaria.
Researchers at the Michigan State University have discovered that the
compound prevents Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a tuberculosis-causing
bacteria, from becoming dormant. Dormancy was associated with antibiotic
resistance in patients.

Lead researcher Dr. Robert Abramovitch explains that dormant bacteria
become highly tolerant to antibiotic therapy. Inhibiting dormancy makes the
tuberculosis bacteria more susceptible to drug treatments and shortens
treatment duration.  To test this, researchers engineered a tuberculosis
strain that glows bright green upon the onset of dormancy. A vast number of
compounds were then assessed to see if they could prevent the bacteria from
becoming dormant.

According to the researchers, Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mtb requires
oxygen to thrive. Artemisinin is shown to inhibit the molecule called heme
found in the bacterium’s oxygen sensor, which in turn disrupts the Mtb from
sensing its deteriorating oxygen levels. “When the Mtb is starved of
oxygen, it goes into a dormant state, which protects it from the stress of
low-oxygen environments. If Mtb can’t sense low oxygen, then it can’t
become dormant and will die,” Dr. Abramovitch says. The researchers have
also identified five other compounds that may potentially replicate a
similar effect on the bacterium.

A 2011 study also supports artemisinin’s anti-tuberculosis potential.
Researchers said using the compound as a conjugation factor induces a
selective antagonistic effect against multi- and extensively drug-resistant
strains of Mtb. The
