From commentary by Steven Mehl:
Hydroxychloroquine's mechanism of action appears to be how it acts as a strong zinc ionophore (i.e. pushing extra zinc into the intracellular space) and allowing that zinc to inhibit the enzyme that the virus is using to replicate. Two other zinc ionophores that are over the counter are Quercetin (flavonol) and EGCG (found in high concentrations in "matcha" green tea) and also available as a supplement.
Here is Dr. Zelenko's 'Zev' treatment regimen:
Patients treated with three drug regimen:
CONCLUSION - TREAT AS EARLY AND AS AGGRESSIVELY AS POSSIBLE IN THE OUTPATIENT SETTING
they need a clinic (safe area) within the hospitals where people who have tested positive can get the malaria cocktail along with a thermometer (pick a kind) and self monitoring info.
The FDA says you can use it...but you have to be hospitalized to get it. That's just not right.
Yeah, I saw that ‘Politico’ piece last week.
Politico is part of the problem, they were/are deep state connected. Their bias is that HHS is claiming the HCQ is to be used only where a clinical trial is not available.
Things are changing. It could be that Cuomo is holding it back based on early unfounded HHS directives which have since been superseded.
There is a war going on over this treatment. The Soros and Gates crowd, their democrats, and operatives, definitely do not want this treatment to end the pandemic which it will.
A Dr on the Texags site recommended Zinc picolinate. One of the Drs here is also using it.
I would think not but perhaps your body will stop the replication of the RNA of the virus and help your body fight it.
This virus is extremely unpredictable. All kinds of symptoms. You can feel better and end up dead a few days later
I call it Wuhan Roulette.
I thought the purpose of hydroxychloroquine was to keep the immune system from going nuts.
Was just messaged it is Cuomo’s office holding back likely based on the early ill-placed HHS comments. Politico was being used by deep state operatives to spread a false directive that states need to control the distribution of HCQ.
Dr. Stephen Smith in NJ is prescribing it from his clinic as are now hundreds of other physicians.
Dr. ‘Zev’ Zelenko, in the latter part of his video says his clinic is running short on HCQ and asks patients who have any left over to please return it. But his video is from last weekend.
Zev has the ear to WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
I will bet President Trump has already dispatched a team to investigate any policy inside FDA or HHS etc. that is holding back private clinics from getting the HCQ.
Our federal government was so screwed up by the Obama Administration, I hear that the President has to expend orders of magnitude more time and energy than is necessary just to see simple things get done. But also hear things are changing for the better.
KNOWN COVID 19 INFECTED INDIVIDUAL IS TAKING ZICAM FOR A WEEK NOW AND HAS HAD MINIMAL ILL EFFECTS FROM THE VIRUS.
It appears to assist getting minerals inside cells. The virus causes a cytokine response which leads to pneumonia.
The cytokine response is a form of immune response to flush out the bad but if the bad keeps multiplying, the cytokine immune response ends up inadvertently helping to spread the virus that it flushes out.
The HCQ apparently helps dampen this response. So in that sense, yes HCQ helps to keep things calm. But without Zinc to stop the multiplying (replication) inside the cell, people might stay sick longer, maybe less sick but still sick.
Malaria is a microscopic parasite that gets inside a blood cell and multiplies on its own without using the DNA to replicate.
The population of malaria parasites inside cells grows to a point where the cell bursts releasing more parasites into the blood stream. Anemia results.
HCQ causes the cytokine response to flush out malaria parasites before they have a chance to grow in number to burst the cell. So the parasite growth is curbed because it needs to be inside the cell to grow on its own but importantly it doesn’t use any cell machinery to help it grow, so once it’s out of the cell, it’s eliminated in the urine or bowel.
But with a virus, the HCQ can flush it out but it keeps coming back because it uses cell DNA to replicate, to grow again.
The Zinc stops it from using the DNA to replicate.
Putting together both HCQ + Zinc was a stroke of genius and luck.
Zev’s medical knowledge of dosages and protocols helped form a cure.
He’s a hero, a real one.
Feel free to add more to that story.
“HCQ causes the cytokine response to flush out malaria parasites before they have a chance to grow in number to burst the cell.”
Not to be picky, but I thought HCQ keeps the cytokine response from happening, and that the cytokine response is what kills most patients.
Just trying to understand the mechanism.

Azithromycin has a side effect of heart arrhythmia, which can be fatal, especially in older patients. Doxycycline does not have this side effect.
Cytokines are cell signalling molecules that aid cell to cell communication in immune responses and stimulate the movement of cells towards sites of inflammation, infection and trauma.
In the case of SARS-COV-2, the cytokine immune response flushes the virus outside the cell where normally it would be expected to be eliminated in the urine and bowel.
Some of the virus will enter other cells (spreading) but the cytokine immune response will again flush it out.
But the virus (unlike Malaria parasites) uses DNA enzymes to replicate (multiply) so the cytokine response inadvertently ends up flushing more and more virus out where it spreads and spreads and spreads making matters much worse.
In pneumocytes, the lung cells fillup with fluid caused by the cytokine response and rather than recede to normal levels (because the virus keeps replicating and cytokines keep signaling to make fluid to flush it), the levels stay high causing lung cells unable to function, unable to return to normal. As the virus spreads to other cells, the lungs are unable to breathe properly and the infected host experiences shortness of breath and dies from suffocation.
Zinc attaches to DNA enzymes that the virus uses to replicate. In effect, Zinc takes over and butts in line, stopping the virus from being able to use the cell machinery to multiply.
As the virus gets flushed into the blood stream, it’s eventually eliminated in urine and bowel. Zinc stops it from growing and in a short time it’s gone.
With that being said, I'm drinking a gin and fevertree tonic (elderberry) a day+ a mulitvitamin.
I have secured some Quercetin with Bromelain from Amazon, but am awaiting some input from www.medcram.com on how effective it is (and since it goes through the liver. Should be safe, but won't start taking it until I talked to my primary care physician.
WOW !!!
Bkmk

You’re smart.
I think many of us will be waking up to the benefits of zinc as a mineral nutrient and quinine related products.
Thank you, we should all thank you.
