SAN DIEGOâUniversity of California researchers announced on Nov. 12 that they, together with colleagues from other institutions, are assessing whether medicinal mushrooms and Chinese herbs can provide therapeutic benefit in treating acute COVID-19 infection.
This research study, âMushrooms and Chinese Herbs for COVID-19â (MACH-19), is a multi-center effort led by the University of CaliforniaâSan Diego (UCSD) and University of CaliforniaâLos Angeles, along with the La Jolla Institute for Immunology. It is among the first to evaluate these medicines using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
âWe hope these treatments will reduce the need for hospitalization,â said MACH-19 principal investigator Dr. Gordon Saxe, director of research at the Centers for Integrative Health at UCSD School of Medicine.
