Yes.  This cocktail essentially inhibits replication a range of RNA and Retroviruses (like herpes, hiv, hepatitis).  If you inhibit replication, then the body's immune system has a better chance of eradicating the infection.  In the case of retroviruses, the virus writes itself into the DNA of the infected cell.  If this cell happens to be a stem cell or mast cell, it becomes a 'viral reservoir' and can "hide" in the host as dormant for a long time.  This is the problem with retroviruses and why we can't defeat them entirely.  They are looking at ways to "shake" the reservoirs loose as a way to completely eradicate this class of virus  Anyway, Read this before wikipedia is paid by the pharma industry to change it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionophore#Zinc_ionophores Quote:    Zinc ionophores have been shown to inhibit replication of various viruses in vitro:    Coxsackievirus[14][17]   Equine viral arteritis[18]   Hepatitis C virus   Herpes simplex virus   Human coronavirus 229E   Human Immunodeficiency Virus   Mengovirus[14][17]   MERS coronavirus[21]   Rhinovirus[14]   SARS coronavirus[18][21]   Zika virus[24][25]   endquote
