Might be a physical reason why he isn’t taking it versus the claims I am seeing here that it doesn’t work.
From the manufacturer:
Couldn’t you find a more slanted article? Lol.
trump now on Remdesivir. First dose.
p
You are on a posting roll tonight, thank you.
He is taking it. Earlier I saw the entire protocol Trump is following. I am too tired to locate it right now but anyone who wants to see it, freepmail me and tomorrow I’ll find it.
I’m high risk due to age/health, all I take is D3 and 30 mg Zinc. Firm believer in vitamin/minerals.
It’s high fat medium protein and vegetables.
Standard Merican diets is much better.
Famotidine is pepcid. I take it everyday.
I'm with you on that one, but from a slightly different angle, from personal experience with my 90 y/o Mom. She's certainly not "gone" from dementia, or anything like that, yet, but, I swear, she'd try to subsist on dill pickles, mac'n cheese, doughnuts, hard candy, and root beer floats, if we let her... I almost wonder if it's a subconscious wish to just end it all, even tho' she says she's not in pain (this does depend on a very modest prescription of Norco), she is in reasonably good condition for her age, and so on.
Then again, it could be a desire by some to return to one's teen years... ;-)
My sister’s rhuematologist told her that she recently treated one of her patients with HCQ, zinc and Also. In 4-5 days he was practically cured.
My wife is a retired nurse and was a department head for many years at multi-level care facilities. She also taught nutrition classes to staff, residents and was even contracted by the military for “fat boy” programs. I volunteered at the places that she was working at. It was not uncommon for residents to have poor dietary habits even when they had a care plan that included their nutritional needs. It’s the old “leading a horse to water” but not being able to get it to drink situation.
Young people can typically get away with poor nutrition for decades; it may be detrimental to their overall health and well being but it ususally doesn’t kill them. Old folks who decide to go on some sort of fad diet can litterally just drop over dead after a few months. I worry about few here who seem to be in cognitive decline who advocate various diets that focus mostly on cutting out carbohydrates. I have seen it repeatedly and it almost never ends well.
My own mother is a retired RN. She was always a very beautiful woman and often still obsesses over maintaining her weight. She makes choices about what she will eat based on maintining her figure and not her nutricianal needs. Unfortunately, she and my dad are both hunched over and shuffle around like typical oldsters despite being very active at one time. Most of this is old age but part of it has to do with their poor diets.
My wife just reminded me that we all lose a great deal of our sense of taste and smell as we age. So sweets and foods with strong flavors aften appeal to older folks much more than they did when we are younger.
Trump should say that he is letting himself be a guinea pig for the new drugs that he has fast tracked. It would not be fair to let everyone else be at risk and not him.
The odd(?) thing about my Mom is that she was quite good about eating a generally good diet for many, many years. After she hit 87 or so, that went downhill and the slope just keeps increasing...
a drug he widely promoted that has been shown in many studies to be ineffective >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is a statement that is untrue.No scientific study has been successfully completed to show that HCQ does not work.
The censorship of HCQ is political , not scientific.
Some physicians who use HCQ with great success have had their HCQ supplies cut off at the state level..
Read Dr. Zelenko’s reports on HCQ,

and also read the articles by Yale University Harvey A Risch.
This article is a good summary:
“The Politics of Hydroxychloroquine and Other Commentary”
My parents are about the same age and their diet has gone to crap lately as well. They were going to the YMCA every day and exercising for over an hour up until the coronavirus lockdown shut it down. And they were preparing their own meals at home. After the shut down they basically switched to eating Taco Bell and McDonalds every day, supplemented with various goodies that have little nutritional value.
They have always been very social and their church was shut down. I think inactivity, and lack of contact with others has really zapped their motivation to take care of themselves. In the last six months they have transformed from healthy, robust looking people for their age to fragile looking hunched over oldsters who have a hard time getting around and look like they are unstable and ready to fall over at any moment.
I do believe that the lock down is killing them.
