I have been taking 50mg of zinc gluconate daily since about mid May....so far so good...who knows....

[goodnesswins]

Good doc, but I think he needs to add some Vit K2 to that list...in association with d3...

[Veto!]

I drink red wine and eat organic blueberries every day. Probably enough quercetin for a small healthy woman.

I wish I had your doc.

I don't understand why everyone talks about increases in Wuhan Virus but absolutely nobody talks about treatment in government or mainstream news media. It's as if it were classified Top Secret in America.

Zinc and hydroxychloroquine are not going to hurt anyone so why not give it to every patient? What is being done for treatment if not that?

YES!! I have noticed the exact same thing! I've heard people say, "The death rate is going down because we're getting better at treating it." But nobody talks about what that treatment is!

I've been taking extra zinc for decades.   Of course I take a host of vitamins, minerals and supplements‎, too. The only thing I've added to my regime since the CCP Flu was sent here is L-Glutathione.

I take Zinc and D3 every day....i’m on the front line every day man!

Anyways i’ll keep taking that combo for the rest of my life.

You could have simply licked a galvanized trash can.

I bet Trump could single handedly cause a world wide ban of zinc mining

You're just bad.

Besides, the battery was obviously lead-acid; those car batteries are hard to swallow.

[dsrtsage]

“ Next is a d battery that might be hard to go down :-)”

Coming back out can be quite a shock to the system

[taildragger]

Yes NOW is good, I have some of their Vite’s in stock Thanks!

[TLI]

Correct on copper.

Those levels of zinc can do that.

I have read that the correct ratio is 8 parts zinc to 1 part copper.

Do research this and do the math.

I am taking K2 also!!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

They are more effective as a suppository.

[nevergore]

Surprisingly, I feel recharged after eating one...

“(Holding up bottle of Centrum Silver for Men)
No wonder why I never really got sick last winter. I had enough Vitamins C, D3, E and zinc daily.”

I just got some of that for me ( for men) and for my wife (for the women)

Thanks for suggesting quercetin. I’ve been taking zinc for a while and passing it out to friends, but didn’t realize that quercetinwas a zinc ionophore.
