KARACHI, Pakistan, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Pakistani health authorities on Monday announced the completion of a successful clinical trial of Chinese traditional herbal medicine for treating COVID-19, as the South Asian nation enters a fifth wave of the pandemic driven by the Omicron variant.

The Chinese medicine, Jinhua Qinggan Granules (JHQG) manufactured by Juxiechang (Beijing) pharmaceutical Co Ltd, is already being used in treatment of COVID-19 patients in China.

"Since it was tried on patients with different variants of COVID-19, we expect it to be effective on Omicron as on other variants," Professor Iqbal Chaudhry, director of the International Center for Chemical and Biological Science (ICCBS) where trials were conducted, told reporters.

The trials were conducted on 300 patients who were treated at home, and would work on mild to moderate COVID-19 cases, Dr Raza Shah, principal investigator in the trials, told reporters, adding that the efficacy rate was around 82.67%.

The trials were approved by the Drug Regulatory Authority Pakistan.

Chinese medicine cured my wife’s years long stomach ache problems when medical doctors and their drugs failed miserably. I won’t discount it.

I got diagnosed with Hep C in 2000. A month before I was to start on Interferon and Ribavarin I started taking Chinese medicinal mushrooms. The viral load dropped by half and the doctor didn’t want to talk about it AT ALL.

Chinese traditional medicine has been around a LOT longer than the Communist Party. You don't have to get your Chinese remedies from Red China. Plenty of anti-Communists Taiwanese and refugees to do it right. They might even advertise on Epoch Times.
