This American Pandemic. may have started in China but it's persistence and enhanced ability to kill is strictly a function of Big Government and Big Politics. As one of many examples.
Andrew Cuomo "followed the (Goernment) data" and promptly put advanced virus cases in Nursing Homes filled with frail sickly.old people. He used "Science and Data" to kill people.
The Doctors discovered that. if given early a well established drug. could be very effective. The Experts immediately decided to limit its distribution to "in hospital" use. Too late in the cycle.
Perhaps the Political Class needs to stop trotting out newly minted Experts with every new event on the news. Am I the only one to notice that they are always wrong. Thanks Doc for ignoring the Experts!

Let us do an empirical model: Zinc is an anti-viral. Hydroxychloroquine improves the bodies ability to absorb zinc and is administered with mega-doses of zinc. Symptoms of zinc deficiency are lack of taste and lack of smell, which are two symptoms of covid-19. Clearly the body exhausts its supply of zinc fighting the virus, hence the symptoms. Let me think for a millisecond about this....administer Hydroxychloroquine!

In my experience as an engineer, I have found that "experts" revel around complicated solutions when simple, obvious solutions are available. Ventilators, new vaccines, orders pertaining to social distancing for years until the complicated solution can be found, and...

It is time to use a proven anti-viral as an anti-viral!

BTW, I agree with your post.

Thanks, btw i take zink every morning. I suspect i will need a permit shortly

So do I. Be sure to stock up now before it is regulated....or be sure to enjoy eating oysters!

As I say to Margaret, my wife about desert...why not both?

Administer the drug WITH ZINC!

405 seriously ill Wuhan virus cases were put on Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromyacin + zinc and 403 saw dramatic recovery. Only 2 died. That is 0.005%. Another doctor used this on 2300 cases and I believe there were no deaths. What is aggravating is that every mainstream media discussion, Fauci and the bureaucratic "experts", and even the WSJ, never mention the efficacy of this treatment. Makes me very suspicious. There's no money to be made off of HCQ......or are they just against it because Trump recommended it? Do they prefer continued deaths so Trump can be defeated in Nov.? Makes one wonder.

Trying to make way for the blue wave to take the election (all the kids, coming of voting age, brainwashed under the Obama admins take over of the public education system) by riding the US (and the world) of the older, more conservative, people. :( This tonight did come to my mind.

Even in Europe, the elderly are the strongest in the Christian Faith, the younger generations have had all sense of Faith pulled from them.

If they get rid of the older people, then they have those remaining who they can manipulate.

In my dealing with "experts" who have earned MDs or PhDs, I find that they opt for the complicated solution rather than the obvious solution. As an example, my name is on a patent for a textbook electronic circuit...so textbook that it is found in the first EE class text. It was originally rejected by the patent office because the solution is "obvious." However, more than one PhD gave symposium presentations, wrote trade journal articles, and gave "expert" advice for a horrendously complicated solution. Since they "proved" that their solution was the only solution, the patent office was obligated to issue the patent. We are observing the same pattern of behavior with Fauci, et al. President Trump needs to get some practical people around him and dump the so-called "experts"!

Very good article on powerline today from other frontline doctors. They have a recommended protocol. Similar, but they also give blood thinners and Vitamin C intravenously. They also zero in on the inflammation problem.

Simple Zicam (OTC) is used for the cold virus. It has zinc plus Vitamin C. Good stuff.

Cold-eze lozenges are awesome at stopping upper respiratory (the earlier, the better), such as colds and "flu". It's the zinc. I have experienced the effects on many occasions - zinc works too well for me not to believe!

We're taking vitamins A (beta carotine and retinyl palmitate, not actual "A"), C, D3 and zinc. Also, because someone pointed out that since tonic water has a tiny amount of quinine, we may as well drink 3-4 oz per day, just because. These things (A,C,D,zinc) are said to be related to boosting and correcting the immune system, for proper response. Quinine is said to assist the zinc entering the cells (though I have heard the zinc assists the quinine entering the cells, but who hasn't heard half a million "cures", these daze? [sp!])

One observation I heard discussed on radio a couple days ago, is that vitamin D (D3) is absolutely critical to the immune system and, the doctor was saying, that darker skin means LESS vitamin D is produced (via sunlight exposure), hence the increased impact of covid-19 on "black" populations. The doctor was saying that vitamin D (D3) and zinc supplementation are critically important to make normal the immune response.

A couple weeks ago, I called Cold-eze and asked that they consider a zinc inhaler. Their rep said that all ideas are put before their team.

THAT'S THE TICKET!!

Vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory.

Doctors are often too busy to read what other doctors have discovered, especially during a pandemic. Had this doctor heard of Dr. V. Zelenko's cure or Dr. Robin Armstrong's cure, in NY and TX respectively, he'd've known that HCQ + Zinc would provide his Covid patients with a cure, if administered early enough.

It would be good if only we could create a Federal function to deal with pandemics. We could have somethng like a national institutes of health and a centers for disease control and prevention, and a national drug administration, . . . oh wait, . . . forget it they would become bureaucratic and partisan. They would want to protect turf and destroy any option, "Not Invented Here" NIH, hey . .
Ya, how's that national health system / national hospital system workin' for ya!

I can already hear Fsuzi saying NO ..this won’t work.

Fauxci

I stand corrected, Cindy. Thank you.

In his next sentence, he’d say, “It’s not safe , nor FDA approved to fight COVID!” While he has begin studies on people in NYC hospitals with his new drug - Remdesivir. People who were dying left and right as they were being given NOTHING to treat the virus - only sedation and a ventilator. How does someone on a passed out on a vent give give consent to be a given an experimental drug that is not known to have helped anyone?

Watch the above video, about that scoundrel and his "science", before Youtube yanks it off.

For example, they'd have no 2 hours to watch this video, although they'd learn therefrom things they never learned in med school, and, by the way, who the real Faucci is:

There is a doc, Frank Shallenberger, who is also suggesting ozone therapy with IVC . He has sent the protocol to President Trumps team to look at. Again, going after inflammation in the body. The ozone therapy is not harmful and the Vit C replaces what is lost in the body during extreme inflammation and helps bodys immune system function. If we wait in hiding for a vaccine only then we are doomed. We need to help people understand their immune systems and what you CAN do to either prevent infection or have it only have a mild effect. Why do many people get the flu but recover? What makes a difference? Why did I have 5 kids with no ear infections ? Not one standard of care pediatrician was even curious enough to ask me what I did to prevent infections....

Doctors treat illness.
They don't prevent it.
Without ear infections pediatricians would go broke.

Pamela, what did you find prevented ear infections?

God bless Dr. Thomas Yadegar.

Dan Stockhammer,M.D.
I am reading for the second time fascinating book by Thomas E. Levy, M.D. titled Primeval Panacea. In it he describes benefits of big doses of Vit C given iv for serious and life threatening condition.
He is advocating the Vit C doses of 100 to 200 grams (100.000mg to 200.000mg) daily, with excellent results.
There are scattered notes of beneficial results when Vit C was given to COVID-19 patients. Unfortunately the Vit C doses were 2-3 gm iv daily.
It is also proven that Vit C does not cause overdoses or other harmful .
The question now is when in the course of treatment of the COVID should it be given? When the condition of the patient is severe, on ventilators, when the damage to the multiple vital organs was set in motion, it is most likely too late.

Linus Pauling anyone? One of the greatest minds ever.

and Dr. Kevin Pham.

Thanks to Dr Yadegar. Hopefully, more will try out this "unconventional" therapy for a "runaway" inflammatory process. I guess, its similar to a severe asthma flareup, where steroids are used as an outpatient and for those hospitalized. Come to think of it, we use it also for many other viral induced illnesses; severe tonsilitis in those with EBV( mono), bowel inflammation in Henoch Schonlein purpura, etc.

This really sounds similar to what I read of the Spanish Flu, especially the part where it looks like someone is recovering and then they take a bad turn and usually die. And I think for the same reason - the auto-immune reaction.

So great that this doctor figured this much out. It will help to save some lives while we hopefully get a vaccine but also perhaps using that Remdesevir drug as well.

Facts on Remdesivir.
1) Fauci (head of NIH) was sending millions to Wuhan Virology Institute for the development of corona-type viruses
2) this was done despite hundreds of scientists who protested the experiments due to pandemics such as COVID.
3) Gilead and its subsidiary, UNITAID, own the patent on Remdesivir. These two were big backers of Hillary during her campaign for Pres.
4) George Soros and Bill & Melinda Gates are big backers of UNITAID.
5) Fauci has been a HUGE admirer of Hillary for years!

Wonder why Fauci has been downplaying treatment with Hydrochloroquine (92% success rate)??????? Follow the money folks!

One is also tempted to wonder how remdisivir, a brand new, never been approved for anything drug, Could make it through the approval process in what appears to be a month. Anyone who doesn't see something strange going on here IS NOT paying attention.

Actually, it was developed years ago as a treatment for Ebola, but was shelved and never submitted for approval because it wasn't effective for that kind of virus.

You missed the point. The "approval process" usually takes a couple years. On this one it's down to a few weeks. Tell me that isn't mighty convenient.

Remdesvir isn't a sure thing yet. It has "Emergency Use Approval," which is little more than permission to give it to people not formally enrolled in a standard clinical trial. However, early reports aren't much different from those for hydroxychloroquine. - some say it's fantastic, and others say they aren't seeing much improvement.

In any case, at this time it is not yet through the formal approval process. As for the length of time, the Trump administration has been pushing the FDA hard for several years to improve its approval process so it doesn't take so long, and increased the pressure with the pandemic. It's not "mighty convenient," it's a forceful President reminding the bureaucrats that their usual slothful pace and Byzantine processes cost lives.

Right on the money. A crisis is an opportunity for investors & political hacks. Also check out why Bill & Melinda Gates foundation was asked to leave Indian polio vaccine program who by the way is also involved in Covid 19 vaccine.

Multiple treatments using remdesiver COST $4500.!!!

Would you rather die and save the money?

No, but why not use the cheaper route that works?

Why pay thousands for an unproven highly invasive treatment that requires hospitalization and that has significant known and unknown side effects and, at best, might shorten the symptoms by 30%, not cure you of the disease when you can take a course of home treatment with few if any known side-effects, proven over 65 years in use, quite inexpensive (cheap, even) and cures the disease?
Then you can use the leftover $4450 for a vacation to beautiful chicomChina and watch the Asian Hornets blossom.

The results for either appear to be roughly the same. Heck yeah I'd take the $20.00 course of treatment vs the $1000.00 course of treatment for the same result every time.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Fortunately, it isn't killing young people like the Spanish Flu did for some reason.

If it's about the inflammation, the younger people are probably better at dealing with that naturally. Age and chronic illness both weaken your response to inflammation.

One doctor (Gottlieb) explained one possibility: during the Spanish Flu there were not a lot of "old people" (or people over 60 or 70). So the virus was attacking everyone else. Now we have a lot of old people and esp the ones in nursing homes, so it's hitting them badly.

And now there are some indications that some young people are getting hit with inflammation as well. Like a Toxic Shock Syndrome. There are 15 patients right now, ages 2 to 15, that are hospitalized because of it. Luckily no one has died yet.

This virus is weird. It's not moving the way we think it would move and it's doing all kinds of weird things. It's scary.

Some meta data research done a few years ago showed that the high mortality rate may have been due to high doses of aspirin that were given at the time. I found this interesting since all of my paternal great grandparents died of the spanish flu.

WHICH inflammatory markers should be checked? And what cutoff values to follow before considering systemic steroid +/- IL-6 inhibitor therapy?
Is outpatient or pre-hospital treatment feasible if we were to detect a worrisome cause with increased inflammatory markers pre-hospitalization? Could I implement this in my urgent care setting?? This is really intriguing stuff...

I hope he has his protocol available. It sounds like he is really on to something big here!

To whom are you posing your question? If you want a direct and correct response contact Dr. Yadegar directly.

“The disease course is so unpredictable because every person’s immune system is unique to that person.”

Which is why giving all the same vaccines on the same schedule to all people, and even mandating such protocols, is not only illogical, but extremely dangerous.
