A Possible Cure Therapy for Covid-19 Virus and Other Types of Viral Diseases. Using Autologous Stem Cell Trapping Mechanism

Abstract

Amen Ugochukwu Ikeh

This research opinion paper advocates for a new system of treating viral infections and diseases, it lays more emphasis on the current virus called Covid -19 virus (Corona Virus), it is a new innovation different from the known methods of treating viral infections and diseases. Some of the known methods include use of vaccines, anti -viral medication, monoclonal, serology. Most recently, stem cells have proved to be very effective in solving complex medical diseases such as leukemia, cancer and a host of other medical diseases that pose difficult challenges to the medical field. This method could be used to cure covid-19 permanently and then simulated to solve and cure other viral infections such as HIV and AIDS, Ebola, Hanta Virus and a host of other diseases like Malaria, Chicken-Pox, Small Pox, Measles etc. It is worthy to note that viruses are always evolving by way of mutation and are developing intelligent and strategic ways to beat or avoid being detected by the immune system, this can be seen in HIV and AIDS virus which attacks CD4 cells and even goes as far as engaging and fighting to wear down the T-Cells. Also, Covid -19 tries to proofread the cells to counter anti-viral drugs such as Ribavirin. Although Remdesivir anti-viral medication which has proven to work on some covid-19 patients, cannot be proofread by the corona virus. More insight about this "Autologous stem cells trapping mechanism" is discussed under conceptual framework of this research paper and attention should also be given to the suggestions and recommendations as they hold potential methods to permanently stop the actions of viruses in invading the human cells.
