ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) - A West Texas Doctor claims he’s found the “silver bullet” for COVID-19, but the treatment is not currently approved by the FDA.
Dr. Richard Bartlett works at various clinics around West Texas, and says he’s found a successful treatment for the coronavirus.
“The treatment plan is inhaled, generic budesonide,” Bartlett said. “Using some generic antibiotics to protect from a secondary bacterial infection. Using zinc, which interferes with virus replication. It’s common sense. It’s intuitive.”
Budesonide is a steroid, that can be inhaled directly to the lungs using a nebulizer.
The drug has been used for decades to treat asthma and is approved by the FDA. However using it to treat COVID-19 is not.
“I am not aware of any doctors anywhere that are using this specifically for COVID-19, yet,” Bartlett said.
Bartlett said he treats people as soon as they show symptoms.
“Early treatment is better with this disease,” he said. “And I’m having a 100% survival rate. I don’t even know how many I’ve treated...dozens. I have 14 that I’m treating right now.”
Bartlett said that patients tell him they feel immediate relief.
CBS7 asked local health authorities about Bartlett’s claims.
“When we go look at a study,” Odessa Regional Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Rohith Saravanan said, “If they say ‘oh five cases, all solved. Magic pill. Silver bullet’, well that’s not how science works. You take thousands and thousands of patients across multiple countries, multiple sites, you blind them, you control certain people, certain treatments. And then you compare the groups. It’s not that he’s doing something wrong. He’s sharing what he found could be useful to the scientific community.”
Bartlett said he’s currently writing a paper to submit to medical journals.

Hurry, before it is simultaneously vilified and then forbidden and pulled off the market.
Don’t tell Trump. ;-)
Seems like hydroxychloroquine or any other anti-inflammatory drug works with a mild antibiotic and zinc.
Bookmark.
As long as it’s treated early.
BFLR
More importantly don’t let Trump ever mention it. Once Trump mentions that drug, it will become thr most dangerous drug on the planet. Overnight.
Yup, HCQ + azithromax/doxycycline + zinc.
Zinc; don’t forget the zinc.
And vitamin D3.
You BLIND them?
Gee, that's a little harsh there, Doc.
"health authorities"
Flushing my sinuses with 3% hydrogen peroxide worked for me.
Bump for all and for reference. ZINC! ;-)
Very similar to Dexamethasone.
Yep.
Good thing I already have this in my med cabinet.
budesonide i think is an anti inflammatory- like prednisone- wonder if inhaled prednisone would work too- or inhaled asthma drugs- which are also anti inflammatories
and i thought that early treatment was only like 12% effective or so? with only about a 37% or so effectiveness for people on respirators?
[[Bartlett said he treats people as soon as they show symptoms. ]]
The problem with these kinds of anecdotal evidences is that you have no way of knowing if they will develop severe covid complications- most people that get covid survive it just fine without anything- they suffer- but survive it fine-
IF however, He’s treating people with severe underlying conditions that have proven deadly if someone gets covid- then that’s another story-
A number of these studies are taking subjects that are days away from death with their lungs filling up with blood and they’re going to give half of them placebos?
Blinding them is a form of mercy so they don’t have to see themselves die.
Double blind testing is criminal when people are on death’s door. IMHO.
Nothing funny here but I love your tagline.
