Holista confirmed that since mid-January 2020 it had sold out all
NatShield(TM) Sanitizer in its inventory. Each bottle of
NatShield(TM) Sanitizer contains 5% of Path-Away(R) which is made
from natural plant-based substances that have been approved for use
by the U.S. Food and Drug of Authority and tested by World Health
Organization ("WHO") approved laboratories in numerous countries
around the world.
Developed by Global Infection Control Consultants LLC ("GICC LLC")
based in South Carolina, USA, Path-Away(R) (www.path-away.com) is
distributed in Malaysia by Holista as NatShield(TM) Sanitizer.
Holista is the exclusive distributor of Path-Away(R) for the ASEAN
region. ASEAN countries with confirmed cases of the coronavirus
include Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Cambodia.
Based on requests from seven chains representing over 3,000
pharmacies in Malaysia, Holista has ordered 60,000 bottles of
NatShield(TM) Sanitizer to be air-freighted to Malaysia from the
U.S.A. by mid-February.
The novel coronavirus was first reported to WHO on 31 December 2019
and has been under investigation ever since. Countries with
confirmed infections include the U.S.A., Canada, France, Australia,
Japan, South Korea and Nepal.
The active substance in the spray weakens the cell walls of the
virus, causing the infectious organisms to clump together, in the
process killing themselves, almost instantly. The potent compound
is environmentally safe with very low toxicity and hence is not
harmful to humans and pets even if accidentally swallowed. It is
free of alcohol and other potentially toxic chemicals.
It is approved for use by Malaysia's Ministry of Health, with
special reference to the H1N1 virus - another coronavirus, similar
to one in this outbreak which led to more than 70 deaths in 2009.
It has also been approved by the Food and Safety Authority of New
Zealand, and the New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority
("EPA"). It is also approved by the United States Pharmacopeia
("USP") and has undergone successful USP-51 testing as a
disinfectant.
"This is not a drug. It acts by sanitising body parts. It had been
consistently shown to be effective and safe to users and the
environment in the most advanced biosafety laboratories in the
world," said Dr Rajen Manicka, the CEO of Holista which is
headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX").
"NatShield(TM) Sanitizer was created to treat previously known
coronaviruses. It can be used as a precautionary spray in crowded
areas including public transport. Three to five sprays are all that
is needed to disinfect hands, toilet seats, doorknobs, countertops
and trolley bars, with efficacy lasting up to two hours. We plan to
sell it in all infected ASEAN countries," he said.
Dr Arthur Martin, the President of GICC LLC (www.giccllc.com) said,
"The Path-Away(R) formula has been proven in world-renowned
laboratories including those working with WHO, to be able to kill
over 170 deadly pathogens including previously existing forms of
coronaviruses. Path-Away(R) is currently undergoing testing on the
newly emerged coronavirus designated as the "Wuhan Virus."
Dr Martin is a globally respected scientist and a member of the
WHO's Stop Tuberculosis ("T.B."). Board who had been previously
nominated for the prestigious "Kochon Prize" for his work on T.B.
"Humans of all ages can use Path-Away(R) with little or no risk of
toxic effects. It retains its efficacy for hours even under
extremes of temperature and is not corrosive and can be used even
in sensitive installations," he said.
