Covid-19 -- The HCQ Controversey and Zinc + Azithromycin/Dr. Zelenko

The revelations in Bob Woodward's new book, Rage, and subsequent broadcast of the actual taped comments by President Trump are deeply disturbing.  He admitted to Mr. Woodward, that Covid was worse than the severe flu, and that spread was also airborne.  His claim that he did not want to alarm the public is hard to swallow.  Surely all the people who value their freedom so much would want the freedom to make decisions based on the best available information.

    Jan. 24, 21 - In a TV interview, Dr. Deborah Birx, who along with Dr. Fauci was connected to the White House effort on Covid, said she often felt as if there was a parallel WH Covid program she was NOT a part of.  She feels she will be fired soon.  The following link has many added links to information about independent efforts to treat early Covid illness, and lists many links that appear to have been censored from Youtube and other media. https://faculty.utrgv.edu/eleftherios.gkioulekas/zelenko/index.html  Getting low cost effective treatment info out to the public has not been treated kindly.  This could certainly help Bid Pharma, but with how much harm to the rest of the economy and people's lives?

     President Trump has displayed his unfitness for his job by not only denying the public key information to help them make their own safety decisions, but also by denying them possibly life saving medical information. 

     On at least 3 occasions in late March and early April, a NY doctor, Vladimir Zelenko, attempted to contact President Trump and alert him to a very low cost and comparatively helpful early, out-patient treatment for Covid-19. See this March 23, 2020 letter to medical professionals with cc to Trump and Mark Meadows, Chief of Staff: https://faculty.utrgv.edu/eleftherios.gkioulekas/zelenko/Vladimir-Zelenko-treatment.pdf.**   Dr. Z has since recommended using Quercetin* (which does not need a doctors prescription in place of HCQ), as a prophylactic and for early Covid treatment.  Doxycycline is a safer antibiotic for some.  Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) has developed a 2 page treatment protocol for all phases of Covid treatment, out-patient and in hospital.  Good to show to your doctor.***

 *** Nov. 30, 2020 update by Dr. Marik (note, BID means 2wice a day):  https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_medicine/Marik-Covid-Protocol-Summary.pdf

      Dr/ Ze;enko's March 23 letter clearly states the 3 parts of his protocol, dosages, and reasons for using each part. His $20 treatment uses ZINC to enter infected cells to kill/stop virus reproduction, Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to electrically alter zinc's ion charge to help it get into infected cells, and the antibiotic Azithromycin to kill bacteria that might attack the lungs. For some reason President Trump has only stressed the HCQ, which helps the zinc get into the infected cells where zinc can stop virus reproduction. They work together. HCQ is what is known as an "ionophore". It is not the only ionophore that can help zinc. Readily available Quercetin also works, as does Ivermectin and several others. Zinc is not the only antiviral, the S. Koreans have used the HIV antiviral Kaletra.  To protect the lungs, Azithromycin and Doxycycline.

     The key to this effective early kind of treatment is, (a) an ionophore, (b) an antiviral, and (c) protection against lung infection. I would say Vitamins C and D3 are also important, but not part of the Trump issue. That issue is a question of why the President left out a key part of Dr. Z's treatment, the zinc. Did he never read the letter(s)?  Did he not understand what he read?   Was he told to ignore the zinc, by people with other agendas? Both he and Dr. Fauci mentioned HCQ and zinc once or twice in March, but after that, only the HCQ.  Was Dr. Fauci also silenced?  Then a number of governors forbade the use of HCQ in their states for Covid treatment, and the media started saying it was terribly dangerous and could kill you. 

    On April 7, 2020, Dr. Zelenko sent this message and plan to President Trump:  https://internetprotocol.co/hype-news/2020/04/07/how-to-cure-coronavirus-an-exclusive-letter-to-donald-trump/    This 11 part call to action urges President Trump to immediately amass the 3 materials of his protocol to launch a nationwide war against the virus.  President Biden should look at this!  It would have been easy to test a few thousand volunteer patients with early Covid to see if Dr. Zelenko's initial reports were promising.  Instead, everything was done to misidentify and confuse his information and quickly misuse only parts on unsuitable VA hospital guinea pigs (our brave sick veterans), and then use the bad results to prevent any useful action.  Some of our veterans even died using this MIStreatment.  How many died between the time the White House received copies of the March 23 letter and when VA stopped including data up to April 11, 2020?  Was this a crime??  Was the President duped, or simply heartless?  Who had the March 23 information and failed to pass it on.

PLEASE GET THIS INFORMATION TO THE BIDEN/HARRIS CAMPAIGN.  Joe Biden says he has a plan.  He should see and be able to talk about the plan President Trump was given on April 7th, and never shared or used.

     When speaking of his recent illness (Oct. 2020) President Trump finally mentioned that he was taking zinc and Vitamin D.  He did NOT mention taking HCQ this time, and he took so many other things, we have no way of knowing which elements might have caused what for the moment appears to be a rapid recovery.  Since he has been eagerly telling voters NOT to worry about Covid, and he is also involved in trying to  get rid of the Affordable Care Act, I have a question.  How much did the President's recent medical care cost the taxpayers?  I suspect it is many thousands of dollars.  Try telling voters not to worry about their medical bills when they have no more ACA, or his "free" care.

      In fact HCQ has a 65 year history of relative safety, even at much higher doses and longer than Dr. Z's 5 day protocol. In addition an early study of seriously ill veterans in VA hospitals using ONLY HCQ, and a now withdrawn article in respected publication Lancet were also used to debunk HCQ. To what extent have the efforts to prove effectiveness of expensive and very profitable Remdesivir, and vaccines which may need annual reuse, been used to influence President Trump and the rest of us?

     We now know from Woodward that Trump hid the seriousness of Covid from us. What is not generally know in Democrat and progressive circles is that 4 times a seriously religious Jewish doctor tried to make Trump and also Mark Meadows aware of his apparently successful treatment of 500+ very early Covid patients with NO deaths, hospitalizations, or intubations. He has since treated over 1000 patients with 1 death and a few hospitalizations. Trump kept talking about one or another part of this doctor's 3 part protocol, but never stressed the most important component, virus killer zinc.  And Trump NEVER explains how the 3 parts work together.
     
     Do Trump's failures to inform us about this apparently successful $20 treatment amount to criminal negligence? Do the efforts to treat VA hospital patients, some of whom died, with only part of this protocol to prove it was useless deserve prosecution of someone?  And why wasn't the VA system told about ZINC after March 23rd?  Did some of Trump's medical advisors shut him down to aid development of a $3,000 a treatment cure? Please read the following link, and then share it with anyone who can use it to defeat this lying, killing(?) president. https://faculty.utrgv.edu/.../Vladimir-Zelenko-treatment.pdf    
 
     A month or 2 after his March 23 letter, two European doctors/scientists collaborated with Dr. Zelenko to develop a retrospective follow-up study of people he had treated, compared with people with Covid who had been treated by others not using his protocol. Below is the link for results of this study (showing 5 times the deaths for OTHER patients, not his), as explained in the Abstract. There are many interesting comments.
 
     For serious study and more details click the box saying "Download PDF" below the Abstract. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202007.0025/v1 We must do everything we can to inform the voters about this lying president and his disregard or gullibility regarding Covid treatment. One of the comments in the above link reports Trump sent Brazil's Bolsinaro 2 million items of the treatment protocol, I'm not clear which one(s).

     We are getting into flu and flu vaccination season.  There have been some concerns expressed that a flu vaccine might make you more susceptible to catching Covid, but that has been pretty well ruled out. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/no-evidence-that-flu-shot-increases-risk-of-covid-19/  

     Personally, I think any vaccine has the potential to slightly weaken the immune system.  I always encourage new parents to limit vaccines for their babies or toddlers to no more than 3 at one time, and not if they are already unwell or run down.  See my recommendations for health and immune maintenance at my blog post 2 paragraphs above "covid-19-what-treatments-are-working.html"

     I wonder if scientists have every done studies where they checked the levels of important nutrients like Vitamins C and D3, and minerals like zinc and iron before and after administering vaccines including flu.  This would also be interesting to do with people before, during, and after they have had Covid, as it seems some of these items like zinc to kill/stop virus reproduction, and Vitamin D3 are especially important for people or children who don't get enough sun, or have dark skin the makes it hard for D3 to absorb into the body after being produced by sun on skin oils.                                            - - - - - - - - - -

There has been censorship of some comments I attempted to post at AOL articles and other places. I was only writing medical information, not the kind of nasty insults that were being exchanged at the same site by others without AOL comment.  Others have reported similar censorship of efforts to convey information about the importance of ZINC use WITH HCQ on major media.
