I gave them the formula which I call covidex and&nbsp; in three days&nbsp; &nbsp;of use they greatly improved and became negative.&nbsp; &nbsp;\u201cThis year petronella called me about a colleague who was on oxygen due to covid and she&nbsp; requested for my help. I gave her six bottles which the patient&nbsp; took and again in three days improved and&nbsp; was put off oxygen -later tested negative and was discharged.\u2019 Prof Ogwang added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Prof . Ogwang says last month he decided to study the product more and found a compound&nbsp; that is scientifically&nbsp; proven as able to kill corona virus in&nbsp; laboratory test tubes. \u201c With increasing cases of covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started getting many people calling for a solution from me.&nbsp; I then began large scale production and many Ugandans are benefitting now.&nbsp; I will share messages from clients. So even though we are still carrying out more tests -we now know that covidex has a natural compound that stops corona virus from multiplying,\u201d the Ugandan Prof asserted .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Prof. Ogwang\u2019s statements about his \u201cmagic cure\u201d for Covid-19 has since gone viral and Ugandans&nbsp; rushed to pharmacies to buy the herbal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Uganda continues to battle the rampaging Covid-19 pandemic that has left over 700 Ugandans dead , the Pharmaceutical &nbsp;Society<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[30,65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG-20210612-WA0061.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3562,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/finally-national-drug-authority-approves-prof-ogwang-s-covidex-herbal-medicine-in-the-national-fight-against-covid-19-pandemic\/","url_meta":{"origin":3549,"position":0},"title":"FINALLY NATIONAL DRUG AUTHORITY APPROVES PROF.
