“Vit D, Vit C, Quercetin, zinc, melatonin. You can get this stuff on your own,”

Saudi Arabia has been running trials using Zinc, Quercetin, Bromelain and Vitamin C. I’d definitely add Vit D3 to their list.

Quercetin is a zinc ionophore, as is HCQ. If the ionophore action is what makes HCQ effective then quercetin could be an effective substitute. And unlike HCQ, quercetin is a food product available from some vitamin suppliers as well as the produce aisle of your grocery store.

A proposal was made by Georgia physicians to rescind. The national body voted it down and reiterated their previous stance against it.

RE: The national body voted it down and reiterated their previous stance against it.

What is this national body composed of? Are they physicians or infectious disease experts?

RE: I went to push health and a nurse practitioner prescribed me Ivermectin for a two month supply.. no questions asked.

Not even asking if you were diagnosed to be CoVid-19 positive?

For what it is worth, my relative was on her 10th day of symptoms of COVID-19 when she started taking the “HCQ Trump cocktail”. The next day her fever and diarrhea was gone and the day after that her oxygen level was almost normal.

She said that she thinks she would have been on a ventilator within a few days if she had not taken the cocktail. Only the top of her lungs were compromised yet and she said the HCQ cocktail might not have worked if it had progressed to the bottom of her lungs.

Right after POTUS Trump first mentioned HCQ, I know someone who found a way to bypass doctors & prescriptions, and get it and Zpak from someplace overseas, and stocked up for his extended family in case they needed it. So far, I don’t think anyone’s needed it. Although I’ve known fewer than 10 people in my area (supposedly a hot spot at various times) who ever got only mild cases of Covid from which they easily recovered, and nobody at present, I bought some of the horse paste Ivermectin to keep on hand, simply because it was only $6 at Amazon.

When I first read recommendations of zinc, quercetin, NAC, vitamin C & D3 for prevention, I was very happy because I’d already been taking them all (and much more) in my daily supplement regiman for decades. Maybe that’s why I’ve never gotten the flu or any of the viruses that people seem to pass around. I don’t want anything to do with drugs, covid vaccines, flu shots, etc. Can’t remember last time I saw a doctor; it was probably my pediatrician, and I’m a senior citizen now. I did feel a cold coming on one time about 6 years ago, but quashed it in about 16 hours with colloidal silver. (I make my own, and give it away to my friends).

“Apparently, after several months of observation, it is looking like Ivermectin comes out ahead of HCQ in terms of effectivity. Ivermectin ( like HCQ ) has to be used with a cocktail for maximum effectiveness.

See here:”

BUT when all you have is a tube of Apple Horse paste ivermectin, how much paste is an equivalent dose to that linked protocol???

I believe it’s AMA’s delegate body, consisting of doctors from around the country.

Here’s more detail on the final result:

Ok. Problem is I bet my doctor would never prescribe HCQ or some of those other helpful things.

Good info, re: Saudi Arabia. I heard about Quercetin from Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai. I like that it is a natural product, from fruit. Sure can’t hurt you. I think vit D, C and zinc are vital to the immune system. So is FRESH AIR and sunlight...and dirt, and virus particles. I really worry about our once great nation...hiding inside our homes, wearing a mask over our faces when we are in public, keeping our elders in jail, away from their loved ones. This has got to change, quickly or we won’t have anything worth preserving.

Tractor Supply still has ivermectin in the horse meds area. My local store has signs all over saying WARNING! WARNING! Not for human Wuhan flu! I would rather get the pills from a doctor, but I’m thinking I’ll spend the $40 and buy some, just in case. Pathetic that our once great nation has devolved into us having to figure this crap out, on our own....

The only "evidence" in this entire article is that the media cannot be trusted. I'll review the parts on Bamlanivimab since I've never heard of it before this article, so I obviously have no opinions on it, at all.

"Bamlanivimab: Bamlanivimab is a monoclonal antibody produced by Eli Lilly to treat COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins developed in a laboratory that are designed to mimic the way the immune system attacks a pathogen. "

There is simply no "evidence" in these words at all. The word "mimic' is very vague, and is hardly a scientific term, so no real information is conveyed, either.

"One randomized controlled trial has found that bamlanivimab reduced the amount of the coronavirus and symptoms in outpatients. It also slightly reduced the number of patients who had to be hospitalized or go to the emergency room. Yet this was only phase two of the trial. A larger phase three needs to be conducted before the full safety and efficacy of the treatment can be determined."

No "evidence is given. Evidence would include information about who conducted the trial, and actual numbers on the outcomes. The word "slightly" is biased and clearly not factual. Real data would provide facts, not opinion. The word "yet" also conveys bias and is intended to produce doubt in the reader.

"That was enough for the FDA to issue an emergency use authorization for bamlanivimab as a treatment for COVID-19 in November. In response to the FDA’s action, the National Institutes of Health later released a statement saying at present, "there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against the use of bamlanivimab for the treatment of outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19."

The words "That was enough" and ""there are insufficient data to recommend either for or against" again convey negative opinion, and lack real facts. The words "NIH had no opinion on this" would be equally true, but would be far less biased.

In summary, don't believe anything you read in a "news"paper.

They are mistaken - the “apple flavor” is almost detectable behind the light bitterness - but I’ve had regular medicines that tasted much worse.

I believe I got this on a freerepublic thread a few days ago. I only bookmarked the link to the article not the thread itself. I thought it contained about the best I had heard or seen so far.
