Professor Patrick Ogwang, the founder of the prominent COVIDEX, a natural herbal for supportive treatment in the management of viral infections said he first experimented with his mixture in curing his American friend.
Ogwang made the remarks during a radio interview over the weekend. He said his American friend had travelled into the country to attend the burial of his uncle and out of the blue he got infected with the virus.
“So when I invited him because I really knew him, he left everything and came to Mbarara University. So, one day he comes for the burial of my uncle and on going back he shared a car with someone who had Covid-19, he got it.”
“He was badly off and admitted in Kampala. I asked that he be brought to Mbarara Hospital where he was put on oxygen. I felt personal guilt. I asked myself if he dies here what will I do? I knelt down and kept praying for that man,” Ogwang revealed.
Ogwang who was left puzzled at that time disclosed that he felt guilty seeing someone he had invited into the country admitted to an intensive care unit.
He says this also left him in fear that he could succumb to the virus.
Ogwang discloses that this prompted him to try the concoction mixture which is now called Covidex on him and luckily it did not disappoint.
“So, I told the professor to use this mix on top of his other medication. Three days later, he called me and said he was much better. On Saturday he was discharged and his lung that was deteriorating was okay finally,” Ogwang said.
He added that the person who infected the American upon hearing the news also requested the same mixture and within a couple of days he healed.
Ogwang notes that during the same period he received multiple calls from people who wanted the concoctions.
“He wanted seven bottles, I told him that was an overestimate. One needs at least 3 bottles to cure. He took and was negative in a few days. During that time another friend of his also called for the same.”
“I asked her to go to the lab and I instructed my colleagues at the lab to mix it for her. She took it to the patient and three days later, the patient was off oxygen. This is when I assembled my team and we started taking this seriously,” he added.
Ogwang explains that because the mixture had done wonders this prompted him and his team to seek the government’s approval and funding to widen their production scope.
“The money came in April and we started working in June this year. We started collecting data and two weeks. At about this time, a cousin of mine in Namugongo called me, his family members were badly off with Covid-19. I sent them fifteen (15) bottles. The following day they sent me a message and they were out of danger,” Ogwang explains.
“So because of these testimonies, we decided to apply to NDA and they called me in return with strong fear that they were going to close our operations another number with so many 8s also called the next day and it was President museveni,” he adds.
Ogwang said on top of asking him many questions, the president demanded the professor provide proof defending allegations concerning the covidex mixture.
He said the president also requested him to forward to his numbers of those who had used the concoction and recovered.
“He called all of them and asked them the same questions, he then said he would call me the next day at 10:00 am. The next day at exactly 10:00 am, the president called as promised. He asked me more questions regarding the science of the medicine. How does it work? Etc. I shared with him all those details,” he said.
So he asked for what I wanted and I told him I want security especially for the factory and for myself. I also told him I want the capacity to expand production. He told me he would connect me to Paul Lokech and Madam Nakyobe (Lucy) to handle the security and financing. He kept calling me every day to check on the progress.”
Going further, Ogwang says he also got infected with the coronavirus days before his discussion with the president and upon knowing that, the president urged him to use the concoction to cure himself.
“Within four days of using my codex and vitamin C, I was great. I tested on day 10 and was negative. The president called me on day 10 and was so happy, he asked me, did you use the other medicine of ours? I said yes sir. He was so excited. I was also very happy in my heart,” Ogwang added.
