    		I suspect the answer you're expecting is the possibility that Glycyrrhizin, a compound extracted from licorice roots seems to be highly effective at stopping the SARS virus from reproducing. http://health.discovery.com/news/afp/20030609/licorice.html

    There are also indications that ß-hydroxy-DHP (BHP), another licorice extract, may be efective against some forms of cancer. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-12/rtsu-ccs122203.php
