Letter to the Observer: On Federal hoarding of Hydroxychloroquine
Albuquerque Journal ^ | 08/20/2020 | Ken McDaniel

Posted on 08/20/2020 9:03:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Dear Editor:

I was glad to see Katherine Owre’s reply (Aug. 2 Observer) to my letter of July 26. I sometimes wonder if anyone reads anymore.

The Zelenko/Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) controversy is an interesting study of what happens when “out of the box” thinking runs up against Establishment SOP.

Standard operating procedure is a collection of rules and habits which allow people of limited intellect to nevertheless function productively in society, a good thing. However, SOP rarely if ever advances science or society.

Advances are made by “out of the box” thinkers, whether John Lewis or Christopher Columbus.

Fiercely held SOP often reacts violently when confronted with such iconoclastic and heretical thinking.

This is what has happened to Dr. Zelenko.

Lethal diseases are treated in hospitals, with expensive beeping machines. Zelenko’s treatment happened in the family doc’s office and at home, and short-circuited the entire process, by making hospitalization unnecessary. Apostasy!

The fact that it was far more successful than anything else medicine had to offer was beside the point. The fact that it involved $20-30 worth of pills, and no procedures, made it even more threatening.

The doctor freely gave out the “recipe,” but the government has refused to follow it. It tested only one of the three ingredients alone, and at the wrong time, and claimed it unsuccessful.

This is like getting a cake recipe, leaving out most of the ingredients and then complaining when you don’t get cake!

Yup, it’s a cake mix without the baking powder/soda. It’s made to fall flat, to fail before it’s put in the oven.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

"The doctor freely gave out the “recipe,” but the government has refused to follow it. It tested only one of the three ingredients alone, and at the wrong time, and claimed it unsuccessful."

Test results for HCQ - with or without other components such as Zinc and Azithromycin - have been all over the map, with some showing dramatic positive results, and others showing minimal or no result, or even negative effects. I wonder how many of the negative findings were those in which HCQ was used without any of the other components which Zelenko and others have touted.

Maybe the following falls under the “Out of the box thinking” as well

One of the best kept secrets around is BHT and its ability to kill LIPID covered viruses amongst them the corona virus.

BHT short for butylatedhydroxytoluene, has been around for the better part of thirty years or more, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense. Without going into all the details which would fill many pages some of the benefits are difficult to ignore even so pharmaceutical as well as the medical profession does their best to do so. As a prophylactic it would serve its purpose very well until the right vaccine comes along, without any undesirable side effects, besides being inexpensive and is safer than alcohol consumption, use of tobacco or many other unhealthy eating habits, including many prescription dugs with, many of them having undesirable side effects. No doubt whenever you had a prescription filled it came along with a sheet filled with warnings.

Some of the reasons are that that there is no money to be made by pharmaceutical companies as patents related to BHT ran out long time ago and in order to have it approved for medical application it would require an immeasurable amounts of human tests with expenditures in the millions of Dollars which most likely will never be recovered.

On the other hand many doctors may know about it but will refrain from suggesting it as recommending anything which is not approved by the FDA would leave them wide open to lawsuits, as it is pretty well known that one of the American dreams is, to fall on your neighbors property and then sue them for what ever they can get.

Over the years enough information about BHT has surfaced that if used in small quantities to achieve a particular result, such as from 100 mg to about 1g (one gram or 1000mg) and in most cases 250mg to 450mg may do a nice job for some of the things suggested, it may be less harmful than an equivalent amount of Aspirins. Again do your own research and use common sense which appears to be in short supply these days. Should you decide to try don’t go overboard with it, as more is not always better.

Even so if you still apprehensive or hesitant, use it only when one of those nasty viruses appears on the scene and use it as a prophylactic in a small quantity perhaps up to 450 mg and once the danger subside stop taking it. The catch is that in order to do its job BHT works better before you get sick, as BHT will NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGE which may already have been done by an infectious disease such as the corona virus. Even so, if taken afterwards BHT will still continue to disable lipid covered viruses, but to repair any damage already caused may require different medications.

One suggested way of taking BHT is to dissolve the quantity you intend to take first in oil as BHT is only soluble in either oil or alcohol, I is also much better absorbed by the human body, but alcohol is not recommended to consume along with BHT. One way of doing it is to dissolve 18 grams or 277 grains, if you happen to have a powder scale used for reloading, of BHT in 200 milliliters of olive oil in a small glass bottle. Then heat it up slightly in a microwave for maybe 40 seconds and then shake it a few times. A teaspoon of this substance, depending on its size will give you approx. 450 mg of BHT which in most cases should do the trick.

So why take BHT on the firs place? It has been long known that BHT will damage the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such one of such viruses and by doing so will prevent such a virus from attaching itself and do its dirty work.

The Principal Benefits of BHT

In order of importance, supplementing with BHT can help with:

Reduce and prevent viral infections such as herpes, thus terminating their outbreaks. But BHT is also effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and many strains of influenza. These are just a few but not all of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be killed by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat and address these infections individually, and there probably never will be as no money can be made. Here, it may be of interest to note that a patent had been filed with the number US4350707 for BHT because of its LIPID COVERED virus killing ability approximately 30 years ago, however in the meantime this patent has expired.

Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well as BHT. So when everything comes down to being cut and dried, do you prefer risking being infected with a nasty virus with all kinds of unpredictable side effects or take a chance with some substance which overall has a very good safety record.

Besides most viruses will mutate over time, and by the time someone may come up with the proper vaccine it may no longer match the virus which is currently making its round. But this doesn’t make any difference with BHT if such a virus mutates or not. As long as such a virus has a lipid coating it will damage and disable it..

One of my hunches is, of course it is only speculation, and is based on how vaccination generally works. After BHT has finished the deactivation process of a given virus, such a virus may no longer have the potential to harm the human body, however any remnants of it may encourage our immune system to spring into action and produce anti bodies against this particular virus. Basically this is how basic immunization works by injecting a deactivated virus in anticipation that our immune system responds to it and begins to fight the real thing, when it come along by means of antibodies it has developed in the mean time.

More recently what you may call a ‘Quickie’ COVID “vaccines” are being worked on and developed which inject a live, SYNTHETIC virus, programmed to invade each and every the cell in our body, more or less using the human body as a bio-reactor in hopes to encourage the he human body on its own to develop anti bodies to fight a specific virus. It is a known technique but never tried before on a large scale due to safety concerns. But with the latest COVID virus coming along and being declared as an emergency the FDA dropped most of heir safety requirements giving pharmaceutical companies more or less a free hand to see how I will work on a huge number of people.” Quick” developed vaccines may work just fine initially for a specific virus which they have been designed for, but later on should you get in contact with a mutated strain of such a virus, and viruses can and will mutate, the outcome may not be in your best interest with severe consequences. I for one would not want to be the first in line for such a vaccine and provide a test case. And for what it is worth a report just cam in from Malaysia (08-15-20) that a new strain 10X more infectious was discovered, apparently brought in by a traveler from India.

Myself and many others who have been using BHT off and on for the past thirty years whenever one of these lipid covered viruses made their rounds have been pretty successful in keeping those nasty viruses at bay with no side effects.

“It has been long known that BHT will damage the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses...”

What about all the other cells in the body that are protected by lipid layers? Which is just about every cell in the body...

Actually this is an excellent question and I for one would like to know the answer. The one thing I know is that BHT has been taken by many people including myself for a good number of years to fight off viruses without any ill effects. I do believe that more thorough studies on this subject should be made especially in reference to the point you just brought up.

From what I have read it is FEMA who is hoarding mega-millions of HCQ pills.

Thanks for posting. We need to keep the HCQ ban front and center on FR.

Well, my guess would be it is damaging your own cells too, but your cells have the capacity to regenerate or replicate themselves, while viruses do not. So it’s like a war of attrition.

the results are affected by when treatment starts

the sooner the better

its more effective earlier than later

because if it establishes in the lungs you have to change how you’re treating it to prevent the immune system getting into overdrive and killing you

bht is an antioxidant

its a regularly used ingredient in the food processing industry

its kind of like asking why coq10 wont kill you, or any other antioxidant you take or eat in food won’t

it goes after the oxidative damage in your body, it helps keep inflammation down, it basically stops you “rusting”/breaking down on the inside

Thank you very much for your insightful answers which were appreciated, with most of them I have been very well acquainted as I have explored BHT for a good number of years. One answer which makes a lot of sense is the one, that our own cells are able to repair themselves while viruses are not. Either way I still believe that BHT warrants some more research as in a roundabout way it may help the human body to produce its own antibodies. How so?

As BHT destroys the invading virus, enough of the debris will be left to encourage our own immune system to spring into action and set into motion a process very similar in nature how vaccines are created by pharma companies. Except in this case we are using our own body as a bioreactor. Once his process is accomplished there would be no longer any need to take BHT. I think this process would be preferable over some what you may call “Quick” produced vaccine where a synthetic virus is injected which in turn will interact with our DNA-RNA in hopes to produce he desired antibodies. From what I have read coming from medical authorities is, that this process initially may work for a specific virus it was designed for, but should you get infected again by a mutation the results could be vey detrimental to your health.

Of course if we use BHT solely as a prophylactic this process will not be initiated until the actual infection takes place and not until then, the human body will act as a bioreactor and will start to produce antibodies. It certainly would be nice if some companies would direct their research along these lines, but I also know that the world revolves around money and if no big money can be made fairly quickly, most companies would not give it even a second thought. If you care to comment, I would be delighted to hear it.

I have read over a dozen studies that came out against HCQ, and each and every one of them failed in basic study design.

Based on the Zelenko Protocol, HCQ is an excellent treatment for Covid-19 at

Every "failed" study had at least one of these fatal flaws, some had several at once! They used

In other words there were extreme design flaws ... almost... as if... they wanted to show that HCQ failed.... ya think?

That, plus the two studies (NEJM and Lancet) which used the data sets provided by Surgisphere, which were shown to be (hold onto your hat) entirely bogus. Fictional. Yes. Data fabricated out of thin air. The authors were permitted to retract these sci-fi "studies" --- what there really needs to be, is criminal indictments.

I tell you, the more I studied these things, the more I became convinced that there is something very dark going on here. Not ordinary incompetence. Not a series of honest mistakes. Something designed to gin up death rates and create fear that nothing was going to work against Covid. Especially not a lifesaving $20 solution pioneered by a beardo Hasidic Family Practitioner--- and Trump.
