"Sure, I'd like to take some effective preventative measure against COVID-19 infection."
"And sure, I know HCQ+Zinc is best, but nobody around here will issue or fill a HCQ prescription for prophylaxis."
You can go 100% OTC for prophylaxis, because Dr. Zev says OTC quercetin will work, too, in place of HCQ. This is the simple regimen he posted on Twitter for prophylaxis:
Quercetin 500mg one or two a day (OTC)
Zinc 25mg (elemental) once a day (OTC)
Personally, I take 2 capsules of “Zinc Quercetin” (Sandhus brand: Amazon, Walmart and almost any drugstore would have it, and there are many other supplement brands) and I eat Zinc/Quercetin foods. I eat just one little smoked oyster every day, cut in thirds, with 3 capers, on crackers. Simple as you can get. COVID-crusher canapes.
Any shellfish, lamb, beef good for Zinc, and MANY foods contain quercetin in small amts. Onions! An apple a day.
Zinc is notoriously hard to absorb, but it absorbs best when eaten with meat (which is, itself, a zinc-containing food) and EGCG, (which is found abundantly in any kind of caffein-type tea, especially white, black, but especially green tea, even the cheapest kinds), and quercetin. So the easiest way to be sure you're getting adequate dosage and get good absorption,is to take the supplements together with zinc-rich foods.
As I was typing this, I was thinking "Why doesn’t everybody know this, just like washing your hands?"
My next thought was, “Why am *I* not shouting this from the housetops?? Why am I, in effect, prolonging the damn plandemic by not COVID-proofing everybody I know? WHAT HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 151 DAYS?”
OK. I’m gonna kick myself. And then I’m going to buckle down and do this.
Let's pray for each other. Let's educate ourselves. And let's each of us, personally, engage in effective outreach --- through all the social media platforms, our churches, our friends, neighbors and kin.
We can crush COVID and stop this damn plandemic.

THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE A.S.A.P., SAME DAY AS POSITIVE TEST RESULT, OR IF POSSIBLE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF FIRST SYMPTOMS. But as far as I know, they will prescribe only for people who have tested positive, or have symptoms. There's no way for them to check, so I'm sure you can think up a couple of symptoms (cough, cough) and they will be happy to prescribe the treatment meds. But as far as I know, they can't prescribe preventatively.FIRST, FOR TREATMENT: Go to TeleMD link http://SpeakWithAnMD.com. They'll prescribe the Zelenko Protocol meds and ship them the same day or overnight. They charge ~$60 consulting fee, and Zelenko serves as unpaid advisor and makes no $ off of it. It's a lifesaver.
Another question:
Dr. Zev recommends:
Zinc 25mg (elemental) once a day (OTC)
What is meant by “ELEMENTAL” Zinc? There are so many different types of Zinc available, I want to get the best type!
Bump for later
You’ve already been exposed to this bug. Everyone has. Didn’t drop dead, did you? Didn’t think so.
Bump
Good find

Well, I have a friend going in for an infusion, tomorrow, and she tested negative. (Hospital required the cv test, prior to procedure.)
You said EVERYONE has it.
Do you have a source for that?
TIA.
You do have to for HCQ. In the US, it is still prescription only. It shouldn't be, but it is.
I am 68, with multiple comorbidities. If I had reason to think I was infected with coronavirus, I think I'd go for HCQ, even if I needed to get it from an online MD service. I'd feel more certain that the dosage and efficacy was optimal.
Fortunately, I don't have to do that, because I have rheumatoid athritis, and so I have a HCQ prescription from my rheumatologist.
Chart of different kinds of Zinc https://tinyurl.com/y6h4w6js
Don't buy a supplement with Zinc Oxide, the absorption is so low (3%). On the chart, it looks like a lot (80% elemental Zinc) BUT you can't absorb much of it. It's 80% but mostly non-absorbable. Zinc-fortified cereals like Total, use Zinc Oxide. Total waste!
But don't exceed Dr. Z's recommendation, either. 50 mg is plenty. If you take more than that, it can interfere with the absorption of other important things (like Iron and Copper) and it could give you stomach aches.
Bttt
Thank you for your very helpful replies...I have purchased zinc, quinine, and quercetin—but have been unsure of dosages, etc. I feel more confident now :)
Mind your manners.
Your comment: You’ve already been exposed to this bug. Everyone has.
Your reply: Do you know that you have NOT been exposed? Please source.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You did not answer my question...instead you deflected by asking a question.
I did not think you could source it. I seriously doubt that everyone has been exposed to this virus (at least not yet) because the number of new cases and positive tests is not static.
Can I source it? No, but then I did not make a blanket unsubstantiated statement...
“You did not answer my question”
So? Did that hurt your feelings?
You claim you have not been exposed and so we should continue to close our country and do stupid and useless things like wear masks. Prove it.
Thank you.
For best dosage and absorption, you can buy Zinc 50mg elemental as Zinc acetate, Zinc sulfate, or Zinc monomethionine as an OTC supplement online or at any drug store.
Truly most helpful thread of the quarter if not the year :)

FRiend, my feelings are not hurt...actually I feel fine about your not supporting your claims. Your posts just make you look triggered and uninformed.
However I do find it rather annoying that not only will you not support your claim, but you are now putting words in my mouth.
I never said “and so we should continue to close our country and do stupid things like war a mask...” and again, I don’t have to prove anything...least of all to someone who won’t support a statement and puts words in my mouth.
You try to have yourself a nice day...maybe do some research and get some new reading glasses so you can read what people actually post.
