Wuhan Doctor Claims He Cured Himself From Coronavirus By Eating Chicken Soup

The new coronavirus took the world by storm, and everyone, even the most advanced countries, was unprepared for the danger it unleashed — from a measly few hundred infected, it ballooned to more than 20,000 infected patients globally with over 427 dead in less than two months.

According to experts, the spread of the so-called 2019-nCoV is more rapid compared to its cousins, the SARS and MERS-CoV.

With the vaccine or antidote still in the early stages of development, some people are trying out alternative remedies to protect or cure them of the virus and chicken soup is said to have helped some patients survive the new coronavirus.

Zhang Jinnong, a doctor who works at Wuhan Union Hospital, said he contracted 2019 nCoV in early January, but he was able to survive with help from a bowl of chicken soup.


He claims to have nursed himself back to normal health by taking regular medication and chicken soup in the comfort of his home.

In an interview with the Wuhan Evening Daily and the Changjiang Daily, Zhang recommends eating chicken soup regularly.

He said that the soup causes your body’s temperature to rise, making it a very unfavorable environment for the virus to thrive.

Meanwhile, kimchi, the spicy dish made of fermented cabbage has long been claimed by Koreans to cure many illnesses like regular flu, bird flu, and SARS.

Many Koreans have been turning to this dish to protect themselves from the 2019 nCoV.

In a recent statement, however, the Health Ministry of South Korea said that eating kimchi may give people a false sense of protection.

The reason is that recent studies indicate the dish does not prevent 2019 nCoV infection.

The government agency went on to say that the best method in preventing the spread of the new coronavirus is by washing your hands often.
