I wrote the material below for a comment on an FR post regarding possible suppression of commonly available healing substances. It refers to a long comment there about a Dr. Vladimir Zelenko’s recommendations for using Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc Sulfate. I offered my thoughts and experience using readily available supplements.
No, a potential cure might not be discussed by either Democrats or Republicans. For example, the fact that NY is now trying Vitamin C to treat Covid-19 sufferers was not mentioned, and you can be sure none of the doctors like Fauci and others have mentioned it in public even though China has three clinical trials at work, which unfortunately will not be reported until Sept. Below explains why I no longer belong to either party.
While Democrats might wish to deprive Trump of any credit for helping this scourge, both parties are subject to the political donations and pressures of Big Pharma. These established treatments for other illnesses are off patent, and therefore no longer BIG money makers for the drug companies. On the other hand from their perspective Vitamin C is even worse. I checked lower cost chloroquine at GoodRX. It was $75.00 for 30 500mg tablets. The same quantity of Vitamin C tablets costing from 5 to 10 cents each would be $1.50 to $3.00. Wow!! No fortunes to be made there, for sure. And C is well known as completely safe.
New York is now reported to be using Vitamin C for treatment. https://nypost.com/2020/03/24/new-york-hospitals-treating-coronavirus-patients-with-vitamin-c/
This is good news, but they are still using doses far less then those by Cathcart in his high C treatment of 9,000 patients over 10 years. He recommends pushing C to bowel tolerance. The link is long, and very informative regarding how to treat a number of conditions. http://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html
A Chinese doctor has transmitted his good news about Vitamin C treatment, but points out at the video that NY is not using strong enough doses.

Should you have any medical or military deciders, or even President Trump’s office you want to contact with the above, here is the official NIH description of at least one of the Chinese studies.

When my son in Special Forces said the World Health Organization (WHO) was asking Google and facebook to suppress some videos on China and Vitamin C, I was surprised. I am no longer a skeptic. So, I hope the skeptics here will be willing to consider my own recommendations based on over 45 years helping myself, my family, and others, some in deadly peril. To parallel Dr. Zelenko’s advice. In addition to what he suggests if you can find it and trust it,
1. Any person of any age not yet sick and living where infection is possible:
1 gram (1,000 milligrams) of Vit. C morning and evening.
2000 to 4000 IU of Vitamin D per day
1 good multi-vitamin/multi-mineral morning, and evening if under stress or chronically tired, continue when sick
1 or 2 calcium/magnesium/zinc tablets a day, continue when sick
Other supplements you have researched and find sensible for your physical age and condition
2. Any person in the high-risk category even with minor symptoms
2 grams C in the morning, 1 or 2 gms. every 5 hours, 2 gms at bedtime
Continue use of other supplements, drink plenty of water
3. Any person with serious symptoms if they are not hospitalized
Continue with step 2 recommendations
Crush 10 grams of C or equivalent of powdered C and add to 12 to 20 ounce bottle of water
Have patient sip the water as they wish to level of “bowel tolerance”, see Cathcart’s link above
Allow new C water bottles as often as every 6 or 8 hours
A tablespoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or juice can be added to water bottle
4. For serious case try to find doctor/hospital that will use IV high dose Vitamin C if you want it. If not, sneak in the water bottles if not intubated.
In my experience, using number 2. Vitamin C doses would reduce a fever by 2 degrees: 104f to 102, 103 to 101. Using honey makes it easier to take the acidity of the C, the garlic I found especially good for the dry choke phase of a cough. Do not use unpasteurized honey for a child under 1 year. When very young and sick, I would fill a baby bottle with water, add 500mg of crushed C, a tablespoon of honey, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, mixed well. They would wake crying or coughing, grab the bottle, suck on it and fall back asleep. This also helped open their drainage when they had ear infections. Good luck and please send this information to anyone who can use it or encourage authorities to look into it.
1,000mg C
5,000iu D3+K2 (up it to 10,000 if I feel sick)
40mg Zinc picolinate (zinc sulfate works too)
Magnesium, Potassium, Iodine
CoQ10
NAC
Vit. B Complex
L-Serine
So yes, I think your recommendations are based on good research and sound advice, based on what I've also read and studied up on. And in our case, we have an honest to goodness MD in our immediate family who we check with before getting too crazy. :)
Thanks
