Guys Im a co-founder of the company Halo-Tx. Our work is based on a publication in Science Magazine. This is highest level science not "snake oil" stuff. This is not about inhaling vegetable oils: this is free fatty acids which are components of dietary oils, but also central elements of our metabolism and bodily function. Free fatty acids have decades of use as inactive ingredients in drug products, inhaled, nasal, and oral administration route. Dosing and safety parameters are not only known, they have been used by million of people in different drugs that are presently marketed. What we discovered is that the virus hijacks the body's natural free fatty acid pools to drive (turbocharge) its own replication, and a side effect is nasty inflammation because free fatty acids are the major inflammatory signaling precursors in the body (e.g. aspirin, and dexamethasone cools them off). P.S. dexamethasone is the only anti-inflammitory shown to have any effect in really sick COVID patients.

How good is your solution at stopping the initial virus binding [?1], and how good at stopping (re)infecting - in the way that virus produced from some cell of my body could be deactivated before it reaches some other cell of my [?2] or someone else [?3] body, or by other means [?4] ?

Do you have any studies in the works to discover efficacy?

I'm also a little leery about an oil-based nasal spray. And not convinced that anything administered in this way would reach even the majority of the virus in your body. At best it seems like it might reduce your viral load.

I'll look around your site more, but I'm seeing a lot of talk and not any hard data.

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't address any of my concerns about whether it would be safe and effective when administered as a nasal spray. I was curious if you had any studies in the works to identify efficacy in animal models.

I hate to bring out the tired old argument, but a flamethrower will kill cancer in a petri dish. Doesn't make it an effective therapy.
