Abstract
Objective: To describe outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the outpatient setting after early treatment with zinc, low dose hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin (the triple therapy) dependent on risk stratification. Design:Retrospective case series study. Setting: General practice. Participants: 141 COVID-19 patients with laboratory confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in the year 2020. Main Outcome Measures: Risk-stratified treatment decision, rate of hospitalization and all-cause death. Results: Of 335 positively PCR-tested COVID-19 patients, 127 were treated with the triple therapy. 104 of 127 met the defined risk stratification criteria and were included in the analysis. In addition, 37 treated and eligible patients who were confirmed by IgG tests were included in the treatment group (total N=141). 208 of the 335 patients did not meet the risk stratification criteria and were not treated. After 4 days (median, IQR 3-6, available for N=66/141) of onset of symptoms, 141 patients (median age 58 years, IQR 40-60; 73% male) got a prescription for the triple therapy for 5 days. Independent public reference data from 377 confirmed COVID-19 patients of the same community were used as untreated control. 4 of 141 treated patients (2.8%) were hospitalized, which was significantly less (p<0.001) compared with 58 of 377 untreated patients (15.4%) (odds ratio 0.16, 95% CI 0.06-0.5). Therefore, the odds of hospitalization of treated patients were 84% less than in the untreated group. One patient (0.7%) died in the treatment group versus 13 patients (3.5%) in the untreated group (odds ratio 0.2, 95% CI 0.03-1.5; p=0.16). There were no cardiac side effects. Conclusions: Risk stratification-based treatment of COVID-19 outpatients as early as possible after symptom onset with the used triple therapy, including the combination of zinc with low dose hydroxychloroquine, was associated with significantly less hospitalizations and 5 times less all-cause deaths.
Yes, and Quercetin is also a Zinc ionophore.
The edge that HCQ has it that it blocks the ACE2 receptor where the coronavirus enters.
So any SARS-CoV-2 flushed out by cytokine response can’t get back in.
HCQ creates an opening for Zinc and Zinc stops virus
HCQ closes door on virus
Why it’s so effective.
Agreed. Thanks for posting this.
I agree and the qTC thing was theoretical in my book, I still treated early on. The tachycardia is not an issue — you see that in all hypoxemia and sepsis. It would be nice if congress passed a sovereign immunity bill around CoVID, the passed a bill to pay regardless of uninsured status so it could be done — but they won’t.
I understand that some physicians take HCQ as prophylaxis, and I think that is an excellent idea. Given the azithromycin and zinc to treat, but start everyone who is vulnerable on Plaquenil 800 mg loading dose, then 400 mg maintenance a week and I think the pandemic stops.
As I said on another thread, allopathic medical school is extremely short on vitamins. I understand Vit C and D for immune system boosting. Vitamin A? Can you help explain to me so I can be educated. I am under the impression toxicity with water soluble is nearly impossible, but fat soluble A, D, E, K can be overdosed.... Thoughts?
Now MDs have an argument to back them up.
...
Only if when the tree falls in the woods...it makes a noise...otherwise, it doesn’t exist.
Correct, water soluble Vitamins can be toxic, however the amount taken has to be very high, ie. 10 x times suggested dose for many months. For Vit A it would take approximately 9-10 months at this level to see a toxicity. It would usually present itself first as a yellowness of the eyes.
careful. The henry ford study showed if azithromycin was added to the hcq the death rate almost doubled
Without proof The Pres. had to let Dr. Fauci and others keep talking. Give a crooked man enough rope and he’ll hang him self.
Sorry, I meant FAT soluble Vitamins can be toxic not water soluble.
Good points. Zelenkos work came out about a month ago. Trumps team (Pence) should have picked up on it, spoken with the Dr., and then run with it.
I believe the first mention of Zelenko’s drug cocktail was towards the end of March 2020
This should be an easy fix.... simply ban Remdesivir like was done to DDT.
The HCQ Protocol becomes the go to as it should have from the start with the side benefit of those sordid individuals that invested in Rem. losing a crap ton of money for their treachery.
Is any MSM reporting this?
No harm in adding a reasonable amount of zinc along with the HCQ as prophylaxis as far as i can tell. Any reason why not?
zelenko does not apply to hospitalized patients. On hospitalized patients the evidence is not overwhelming No helpful drug should be banned. We should use everything available including remdesivir convalescent plasma and decadron. If we have enough ICU patients a randomized study of several treatment modalities can and should be done
Yes your point is well taken. I know a doc who is ok doing their that. For actual treatment the azithromycin is what treats superinfection and has an anti-inflammatory effect
