At the cow shelter he runs in Geeta Colony in east New Delhi, Radha Kant Vats says people desperate to boost their immunity come to him for a special cocktail called panchakavyam, made of cow urine, dung, milk, curd and ghee (clarified butter).
“I tell them to have it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. With this inside them, they won’t get the virus. It’s worked for me,” Vats said.
Asked how the concoction was supposed to prevent infection, Vats said simply that the cow was a “mother”, claiming that as such, its waste products had disinfecting and medicinal properties that “the world has yet to discover”.
