The inhaled steroid Budesonide is being hailed by one West Texas doctor, Richard Bartlett, as the 'silver bullet' for COVID-19.
Midland Memorial Hospital seems to disagree with him, telling us Tuesday that there is no such thing a 'silver bullet' for the virus.
But Bartlett’s patients credit the treatment for saving their life. He has treated well over a dozen patients and has had a 100% success rate.
Even with patients who have preexisting conditions.
“I’m in my 60s, I’m living with two different types of non-hodgkin's lymphoma," Kathy Lollar, Dr. Bartlett's patient and COVID-19 survivor, said. "In fact I’m on daily chemo.”
Lollar is one of many at-risk patients Bartlett has treated.
I’m 48-years-old, I’m diabetic and I’m a bit overweight," Eric Rodriguez, another one of Dr Bartlett's patients and also a COVID-19 survivor, said.
When they were diagnosed with the virus, they both thought the worst-case scenario.
“I was scared, fearful, desperate," Rodriguez said. "I starting thinking about my children without a father.”
Rodriguez lost his 31-year-old brother, who had no preexisting conditions, to the virus in June. For that reason, Rodriguez sought a different treatment and reached out to Dr. Bartlett for help.
He started taking Budesonide twice a day.

I posted my protocol for prevention and treatment on FR a few months ago.
My bride and I and our daughter and her (hospital) nurse husband all got covid and shrugged it off.
Thankfully
using decadron systemically is currently standard of care. Budesonide stays in the lungs and is not systemically absorbed. i don’t see his there would be an advantage to budesonide over decadron
