KOCHI: According to a study report, inhalation of nitric oxide can eliminate the SARS COV2 virus that causes Covid. The study was conducted by doctors at the Amrita Hospital in Kochi and scientists at the Amrita School of Biotechnology at Amrita University.

Inhalation of nitric oxide not only destroys the SARS COV2 virus, but also prevents the covid virus from contacting other body cells. Practical studies were also conducted on Covid patients at Amrita Hospital using nitric oxide therapy.

Covid patients who received nitric oxide therapy recovered faster than those who received normal treatment. Of these, the mortality rate is zero.

The study was done when a Swedish team suggested that nitric oxide could prevent the SARS COV2 virus, said Prof. Bipin Nair, Dean of Life Sciences, Amrita School of Biotechnology. Nitric oxide directly affects the spike protein of the virus.

The team of doctors at Amrita Hospital led by Dr. Avik Jayant, Dr. Deepu T S and Dr Merlin Moni did the study on 25 Covid patients. Amrita officials said the study was published in the scientific journal lww.com.
