EAST END, Tortola, VI- As the world seems headed to a standstill and scientists work overtime in laboratories in various countries to find an effective vaccine for the dreaded Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), a couple in the [British] Virgin Islands has claimed to have a cure for the disease.

Mr Roy W. Penn and his wife, Esmie, of Parham Town, East End, the proprietors of Wellness by Natural Means, said their product guaranteed to combat COVID-19 is known as ‘2-day Flu Buster’.

Speaking exclusively to Virgin Islands News Online, Mr Penn said he is confident based on what he understands about the coronavirus that his product, which is selling for $50.00 a bottle, can defeat it.

“It is a different manifestation of those flu viruses but there is no reason in my mind, everyone who gets exposed will not get sick but, for those who do, we believe that this 2-day Flu Buster can get them over that in a short period of time.”

‘Completely safe’

While herbal medicine has been practised for ages and handed down from generation to generation, modern medical practitioners have criticised the effectiveness and even safety of such practices.

As for Mr Penn, he said his father, the late Mr Richard C. Penn, was well known in the Virgin Islands for the use of herbal medicine; however, he has gone more in-depth with the use of natural medicine.

Asked about the safety issue regarding the 2-day Flu Buster, Mr Penn said it is completely safe.

“I have been using it since I have been here in the BVI, going on 4 years, I have never had anybody say to me that this caused any problem in anyway. It is something that is put together by myself. I use it for myself, I use it for my wife, her children, her grandchildren, I sell it to people who want it of course,” Mr Penn said

According to him, Wellness by Natural Means always do follow-ups with their clients, ‘Because we want to know if they have problems with anything we offer.

“As a matter of fact it is so effective that if you use it for the flu or the cold it also corrects other problems because it is [a] natural antibiotic,” Mr Penn said, adding that it inhibits the overgrowth of Candida in the body.

“It is completely safe,” he assured.

Not bothered with the critics

Given the heads up that persons may be critical of his practice and more so, his claims of having the cure for COVID-19, Mr Penn said he isn’t too bothered with the critics.

“I have people that laugh at me all the time but it doesn’t matter to me because when they laugh they are on the losing side. I take what I do seriously but I know there are people who don’t take anything seriously."

He also said, "They have their own version and method of dealing with anything, whatever that happens to be, but I tend to separate people into two classes- those who will listen and those who wouldn’t no matter how clear the argument is and so I don’t waste time with them.”

Testimonials

Mr Penn also shared that his business has received many testimonials from well-known people in the Virgin Islands since they have started their business here about four years ago.

“We are not just talking about a few family members.  We are talking about people who are well known.

Some of these testimonials can be found on the business website.

“I have been in business for a good four years in the BVI. I have been doing this for some 40 years and I would estimate that around 500 people in the BVI have come to us suffering with all sorts of things and we have been able to help many of them.”

According to the Wellness by Natural Means website, “This website is unlike any other. It is geared towards persons who has suffered illnesses that has no cure and for whom has found themselves tied to a system that has admittedly failed them many such persons are sick and tired of being sick and tired. They have been lied to about medicine in the USA.”

See link to website:

To date, there have been some 358,852 confirmed cases of coronavirus globally and 15,433 deaths. 100,658 patients have recovered.

There have so far been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the [British] Virgin Islands.

    Wait! Who has this been tested on who had the Corona Virus and was cured. This is not the Flu or a common cold we are talking about curing. If this is true and they go to the places where there is a, outbreak to test it out, and it works, they will become instant millionaires and won't have to worry about no $50 per bottle. There is no one in the BVI who has the virus, so...........where was it tested? Shameful coming out with this story without any proof.

    If indeed Roy and Esmie have found a cure for the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, this is wonderful news and should be celebrated as inventors and should be nominated for the local inventors hall of fame. They will be enhancing the lives of billions of people around the globe. However, before I fork over my$50, I have a questions.

    1. Which local agency approves the use of food and drug in the V.I.? How safe is the product?

    2. Did the developers get a patent?

    3. How was the supposed medicine tested, for how long and by whom?

    4. Will the ingredients be listed on the bottle?

    5. Is the medical produce just for domestic consumption?

    In the US a pastor also was selling a product claiming to be the cure and he was forced to cease and desist. You can't just mix a bunch of bush and because it is "naturally made" claim any and all kind of healing purposes without being scientifically tested and approved before putting on the market. This is a potential law suit if the claims turn out to be false and loss of whatever trade license they may have to sell such products.

    Ok. The medicine is supposedly a cure for Coronavirus. However, can someone be cure of a disease he/she does not have? That is an illogical situation. The VI does not have any confirmed cases as yet. As such, have the medicine cure anyone of the virus yet? How did the manufacturer determine that the medicine actually cure the virus? Has the medicine gone through any trials? Is the manufacturer guaranteeing buyers that the medicine will cure or prevent the Coronavirus?

    Ok. The Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic is globetrotting except for Antarctica and there is no cure or vaccine to prevent it. Thus, the globe is hungry and starved for a cure and vaccine. Many companies are racing to be the first to market with a cure and a vaccine. In addition to bringing global relief, there would be great riches. Persons of African descent in the West have had an impressive history of inventions. One can’t go through the day without the benefit of Black inventions (traffic light, blood bank, touch tone telephone, caller ID, peanut butter, engine lubricator, beauty products, brain surgery). It would be a tremendous achievement if Roy and Esmie Penn join this illustrious group. Nonetheless, the testing, effectiveness and safety of this antiviral drug must be validated. An individual should have the right and privilege to treat themselves with herbal mixtures. However, if he/she is going to offer it for sale to the public, it must be approved and regulated by government who is responsible for maintaining public health and safety. In regards to this supposed antiviral drug that may be a cure for Covid-19, what are the ingredients, daily dosages, side effects, reactions with other drugs, test trials, if any...........etc. Is this 2-day Flu Buster considered a prescription drug that is prescribed by a license physician and distributed by a pharmacy/pharmacist? Or is it classified under “Bush Medicine”?
