As the world is in panic finding a vaccine for the deadly Coronavirus-19 Disease (COVID19), a Filipino inventor, combining new technology and old but proven traditional medicine, has developed a machine that kills airborne virus and those stuck on surfaces to prevent the bacteria from spreading.
Jun de Jesus, the enterprising Filipino inventor, calls his invention Vicure Machine.
“I started developing the machine in February this year after the outbreak of the pandemic disease in our country as my humble contribution to fight the virus,” de Jesus said in an exclusive interview with this writer.
“It is designed to fight airborne virus and other bacteria, particularly Covid-19,” he stressed.
“The Vicure invention it is a combination of new technology and old traditional Filipino medicine using soluble steam which has been proven to be effective as a way to prevent the virus from entering our respiratory system,” he said.
“The local and traditional way of ridding the body of virus is called ‘Suob’ (covering the whole body, including the head with a blanket), get a pail of hot water mixed with one kilo of salt as this will increase our immune system. Through this process the virus and other bacteria are neutralized,’ de Jesus said.
The device can be used to disinfect hospitals, offices, homes, restaurants, and other areas he said.
De Jesus stressed that “during the disinfection, these areas must be cleared of people and wait for one hour before they occupy again.”
He also said that “those who undergo disinfectant procedure must wear clothes or masks and set the machine on automatic switch and presto, the virus is neutralized within a few minutes.”
De Jesus expressed his thanks to the Filipino Inventors’ Society and the Valenzuela Inventors Procedure
Society, Inc. for their all-out support of his invention.
He sent a letter to Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian informing him about the newly developed Vicure Machine.
