Apologies if this has already appeared at Free Republic. I just saw it myself, courtesy of Instapundit. Please see the hyperlinked Instapundit excerpt for more information than is allowed at Free Republic. I've forwarded said tidbit to family members and others who might like some insight into the growing hullabaloo over hydroxychloroquine.

Thanks for posting the excerpt. Unfortunately, Wall Street Journal is on a paywall. :(

per news sources yesterday New York state will begin testing this regime today. Reports are they received 70,000 doses and Cuomo thanked the President for making this happen.

A man died and his wife became ill when they ingested chloroquine phosphate-—
-—— not a medically-prescribed drug ordered by a doctor that Trump mentioned———
but a commercially sold additive commonly used to clean fish tanks.

Nobody can allege with a straight face that Trump told them to do something that idiotic......
“go to the pet store, buy some fish tank cleaner, and ingest it.”

But the vengeful “Get Trump” media reported this as if Trump were responsible.

“One lesson that should inform the U.S. approach: Use this treatment cocktail early, and don’t wait until a patient is on a ventilator in the intensive-care unit.”

Fortunately, physicians who want patients to survive, must be using the “unproven” medicines that work, and only 14 people died of the virus in the past 24 hours. That is a great improvement in outcome. Keep praying. God listens.

Tonic water: 83 mg of quinine per liter. Basically, the full China-recomended dose is equivalent to 5 liters of tonic water after the first day. That’s a lot but doable. Those who say tonic water does not have enough quinine to matter are misinformed. If you assume that even a partial dose (perhaps 1-2 liters) will help the body to fight off this virus, it’s worth having some in your pantry or even on the daily menu.

also,

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko

Board Certified Family Practitioner

501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950

845-238-0000

March 23, 2020

To all medical professionals around the world:

My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.

As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).

Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:

1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.

2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.

3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).

My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:

1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days

2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days

3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days

The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.

Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.

Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.

In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.

With much respect,

Dr. Zev Zelenko

This guy is talking prophylaxis.

Shifting subjects slightly, the amount of #TDS I’ve seen on HCQ + ZPack from Leftists is astounding. They won’t believe it’s already in use, are just blitheringly deranged about the whole subject. It’s sad, really.

Here’s another excerpt from the WSJ article:

“We had been using the protocol outlined in the research from China, but we’ve switched to the combination prescribed in the French study. Our patients appear to be showing fewer symptoms.”

But that letter, Post #13, WOW! And he’s easy to find on a search, so he’s real. I sure hope the letter is legit.

Also, regarding the letter in post #13:

It’s important that he found so many (65%) already infected. That could mean that community spread is approaching its endpoint, i.e., when everyone’s been exposed, at least in some areas. After all, if 65% are infected, the remaining 35% must have already been exposed, but didn’t catch it, or are immune to it, or are severely isolated.

I do realize that he might have not been doing random testing, but still, to have that high a percentage infected...
