The results of that study are confusing to me. First, they didn’t bother with zinc at all. Why not? Second, they found that HCQ alone worked well and they found that HCQ + azithromycin worked well but not as well as HCQ alone. In fact, of the three possibilities (HCQ alone, Azithromycin alone, and HCQ + azithromycin) the LEAST efffective was HCQ + azithromycin. It was worse than either drug alone. Huh? I’m not sure what’s going on there.

I have heard that quercetin is an ionaphone like HQC. I take two tabs a day with zinc. zinc is zinc.

I take Quercetin because I can’t get hydroxychhloroquine. Quercetin is a zinc ionophone, but I don’t know if, in addition to transporting zinc into cells, it also changes cell pH like hydroxychloroquine, which inhibit pH-dependent steps of coronavirus replication by increasing pH in intracellular vesicles and interfere with virus particle delivery into host cells.

Do you take Quercetin with zinc simultaneous?

If so, what are your daily dosages for each?

Thanks for the heads up.

My doc gave me a script for hydrocloroquine and Zpack, HOWEVER to prevent the virus he gave me a list of 4 things to take he is giving the list to all of his patients!! Vitamin C 1000 mg, Quercetin 500 mg., N-A-C 600mg. and Zinc 50mg.!!! My doc says taking this faithfully everyday I should not need the scripts he gave me!! If I should under a rare circumstance get REALLY fatigued and have a fever start the scripts immediately!!

“BHT supplements - fairly cheap from Amazon. Very strong against lipid-coated viruses, useless against anything else.”

Yep, I found that one as well.

I take zinc orotate 60mg (Advance Research) daily (because it doesn’t stay in the system long) and Quercetin 500 mg (Jarow) daily with the zinc. I have some zinc sulfate 220 mg pills that I will use when my zinc orotate runs out. All above bought through Amazon. I also take vitamin C and D3, plus a mixed vitamin pill that has some zinc in it. I’m in my late eighties, so I probably need a zinc supplement anyway.

My opinion has been early on that we do not need studies because early on there was no medication for this illness. So that means the death rate of those high risk patients is the control group results numbers to compare against. Did Raoult and Zelenko and others beat that death rate? The answer is obviously yes.

I present that argument all the time when the HCQ question comes up, as well as saying there were no studies until recently having an experimental group take HCQ/Zinc right away early in the infection. The “studies” were with patients in dire straits so the “studies” really were there only to come to the predetermined conclusion that HCQ was not effective and perhaps harmful. And that is still the stance of WHO and others in authority, so how can doctors go against that authority without risking their licenses?

It is a very bad situation driven by some very bad people.

I am not a doctor. But I had the virus, was getting worse after a few days, and then was prescribed the hydroxychloroquine “cocktail” of Hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline, and zinc, and have recovered from the virus. For details, click on my FR page.

Thanktul that you recovered. But I have a few questions:

1. How long did you have the Covid-19 sickness before you started on the HCQ cocktail?

2. After using the cocktail, how long did it take for you to recover?

3. Have you tested negative for CoVid-19 and positive for the antibodies?

Thanks.

4 days between test/full symptoms and starting right RX
Symptom free in 10-12 days
Still very tired for many weeks. (I am a senior with pre existing medical issues)
Waiting for results from antibody and another swab test.
