Backgound: Currently, there are still no satisfactory treatment options available for viral infectious diseases. Recent reports suggest that Marecipe AV, a herbal remedy, has shown significant therapeutic benefits in managing viral infections, especially those that are life-threatening, in both humans and animals. Methods: This review was compiled by analyzing published studies and integrating unpublished clinical and experimental data on Marecipe AV therapies from the original authors. Results: In managing postherpetic neuralgia, most patients experienced complete pain relief within 5 days of treatment. About 20% required 20 days or more of oral Marecipe AV therapy for full pain resolution. Once relieved, the pain did not return in any treated cases. All 28 patients achieved clinical cure, with no treatment failures. In managing feline chronic gingivostomatitis, all cats (62/62) treated with Marecipe AV monotherapy achieved clinical cure, resulting in a 100% treatment response and clinical cure rate. High recurrence rates were observed, with an 83.33% recurrence rate at 3 months in treated cases. In the group receiving three retreatments with Marecipe AV, the recurrence rate at 3 months was 28.57%. In managing feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), all treated cats showed a rapid response and reversal of disease signs within 2 to 5 days. The treatment response rate was 100%, with a mortality rate of 0% in the treatment group and 100% in the control group. For treating iridovirus infection in largemouth bass, final mortality dropped from 34% in untreated controls to under 1% in the treated group. By Day 7 post-treatment, virological clearance was observed in all 30 randomly sampled specimens, along with restored feeding behavior. The results of Marecipe AV herbal medicine in preventing the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in domestic pigs showed that the treated group had a morbidity rate of 0%, while the untreated group had a morbidity rate of 41%. Additionally, the untreated pigs had a mortality rate of 21%. Conclusion: Marecipe AV herbal therapeutics has demonstrated a rapid ability to alleviate clinical symptoms and achieve complete clinical recovery for many chronic viral infections in humans, animals, and aquaculture species.
