A lubricant derived from the mucus of cow salivary glands has shown promise at preventing the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and a herpes virus from infecting healthy human cells.
Mucus is a protective gel that lubricates the epithelial tissues that cover our organs and line our body cavities, as well as acting as a first line of defence against microorganisms. The main component of mucus, a protein called mucin, may have antiviral properties.

Most probably Indians are right when they claim that cow piss can cure a lot of diseases.

I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Also, who came up with this, why?

This might make you feel better. It's the same kind of mucus that's inside your body lining your organs. It's already intrinsically a part of the immune system anyway.
