“COVID-19 is a new disease and each therapy occurs as a protocol for a new infection. Even under Trump, doctors believe that his life is in danger and use an unapproved therapy, such as the antibody cocktail. This was stated. in the NOVA study Dr. Chavdar Botev.

Guests in the study also spoke about a new type of COVID-19 treatment, which may be decisive for the future.

“Surfactant is a mixture of proteins and lipids that is produced in pulmonary pneumocytes. Its synthesis is established in the sixth month after the onset of pregnancy,” explained Dr. Vasilka Zarcheva.

He adds that in premature babies it is absent or in very small amounts, which is not enough. Therefore, children have very severe respiratory failure and the use of surfactant on them saves their lives.

“The surfactant was used in Bulgaria about 20 years ago. It has been applied to more than 15,000 children who have come to life thanks to it,” says Zarcheva.

Dr. Zarcheva explains that COVID-19 affects the lungs very severely and alters their synthesis. This is the reason why some patients develop respiratory failure incompatible with life.

“Regardless of the ventilation of the hardware, its condition is not restored. This leads to damage to other organs and systems,” says Zarcheva.

Dr. Botev adds that evolutionarily, this virus has adapted to surfactant.

“Vitamin D has been shown to lead to an increase in surfactant,” says Botev.
