Yet another positive report:
LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles doctor said he is seeing significant success in prescribing the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc to treat patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19.
Hydroxychloroquine has been touted as a possible treatment for COVID-19 by President Trump among others, but it remains controversial as some experts believe it is unproven and may not be effective.
The drug has long been used for treatment of malaria and conditions such as lupus and arthritis but is not technically approved by the FDA for COVID-19. The agency, however, is encouraging trials and has provided limited emergency authorization for its use to treat COVID-19 patients.
Dr. Anthony Cardillo said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients.
"Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free," Cardillo told Eyewitness News. "So clinically I am seeing a resolution."
Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank.
He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication.

"He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication."
Sublingual zinc lozenges (used to treat colds - another corona virus) are available at online stores such as Puritan’s Pride and The Life Extension Foundation for as little as $6.00 per bottle.
Zinc is a crucial mineral for immune system support, and for the male reproductive system.
Very important mineral, zinc.
Could be totally unrelated but my husband was really sick back in January (I’ve posted it on FR before, his symptoms mirror COVID-19)
He wasn’t tested for anything, his doctor said had fluid in lungs so prescribed him z-pack, inhaler & said to take combo of echinacea/zinc & vitamin c
He recovered but weeks later..said it was the worst flu/cold he’s ever had.

Happy to see Zev’s discovery is spreading!
But, but Dr. Doom and Gloom in DC said it is unproven we must spend months and months doing trials before we decide, meanwhile stay in your house 24/7 until I say it is safe.

Many thanks for finding this !
Someone on another thread mentioned seeing the news report & I had asked the name of the Dr.

Here’s that report you saw on the news.
There is no approved treatment for this virus from anyone. Docs are just doing the best they can.
Zinc ascorbate is the zinc version of vitamin C
COVID-19 Treatment Protocols
Prophylaxis
While there is limited data , Vitamin C (500 BID), Zn (75‐100mg/day) and Quercetin (500‐1000 mg/day) may have a role in high risk populations (i.e. all of those on this planet).

1. severely-ill patients.
2. within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free
3. hydroxychloroquine in combination with ZINC
The from critically ill to symptom free doesn’t sound right
The article is written by someone who hates to have to do it.
Oh No! Trump was actually right, I can't be doing this! Ugh! I want socialism, I want the deaths to be right at his doorstep. I want America to suffer! It's good for my bottom line. This can't be happening!!
There are so many “anecdotal” reports now that even the media should understand what is going on.
Two esteemed physicians from different hospitals in NY, this report from LA, the two studies in France, the Chinese randomized controlled study etc etc.
Yes, Trump was right......AGAIN!
Interesting that many of those with advanced covid-19 complain of loss of taste and smell....one of the same symptoms as those with zinc deficiency in their system
Eat oysters.
This is what the reports are saying.
“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free”
Imagine if they didn’t have to wait till near death.
