Compositions comprising milk fat globules and methods of making same

A method for treating a viral infection in an oropharyngeal cavity of a patient, the viral infection being caused by an enveloped virus selected from the group consisting of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), and Herpesviruses, wherein the enveloped virus (1) can be transmitted to another person through the oropharyngeal cavity, (2) uses a glycoprotein or ACE-2 protein in a cell membrane of a cell to initiate a binding event with the cell membrane, and (3) after the binding event, deposits viral genetic material inside the cell where the viral genetic material begins a replication process, the method comprising:

• preparing a gargle composition by separating milk fat globules from milk obtained from a mammalian source, and mixing the separated milk fat globules with a liquid carrier selected from the group consisting of water, milk, fruit juice, a sugar solution, a sports drink, tea, chilled coffee, a mouth wash, and an ethanol-based liquid, to form the gargle composition, the gargle composition consisting of from 16% by weight to 80% by weight milk fat globules and the liquid carrier, the milk fat globules comprising an organized mammalian membrane containing glycoproteins and ACE-2 protein;
• containing the gargle composition in a spray bottle;
• administering the gar composition by spraying the gargle composition from the spray bottle into the oropharyngeal cavity;
• and
• gargling with the gargle composition in the oropharyngeal cavity, the gargling comprising gargling at least twice over a ten-day period.
