Aw hell ...... that’s only anecdotal. /sarc

Fantastic if true, but get out the Crayolas and color me skeptical

Were these patients showing symptoms, in serious condition, in mild condition, ??

If this keeps up, the MSM will be claiming that PDJT never recommended the drug, even though he did. That’ll be fun.

[Sarah Barracuda]

What were the conditions of the people BEFORE they got the drug, were they on ventilators, were they just starting to show symptoms of the disease, etc etc

Costantino noted there were no hospitilizations, intubations or deaths among Zelenko's 350 patients. As many as 40 hospitalizations would have been expected, he said, along with possibly two or three deaths.

Zelenko called Hannity yesterday. He was impressive.

[Yo-Yo]

With the now-calculated death rate at about 1%, he should have lost three or four of his 350 patients.

Not exactly iron-clad proof that the treatment works, but 100% proof that it can't hurt to try it.

Doctor has not been testing patients, just prescribing for high risk people with minor or suggestive symptoms.

Extremely high infection rates in ultra orthodox Jewish communities. They were slow to stay home.

We need him to give us a 110%

I want to know what “success” is!

We don’t even know for sure what the typical duration of this virus is, and how “virulent” it is (I’ve heard some say it was awful fever/exhaustion for 2 days, then back in shape), etc.

We have a feeling, but it’s not solid.

So what does “success” mean? You only feel bad for 4 hours? How can we tell the medicine did it, and not the natural course of disease?

Trump is playing with fire !

[FreedomNotSafety]

he treated patients for WiFlu not necessarily WITH WuFlu. Huge difference.

[hawkaw]

I really hope this is going to be a game changer.

[El Cid]

Pfft. Piker. I heard that the PRC’s army doctors treated over 10,000 Coronavirus patients with their special lead cure, and nary a one died from the Coronavirus (now, lead poisoning, though ....).

Be funny if all you need is Zicam.

[catnipman]

here’s a source that MIGHT be a bit more legit than the scurrilous WND (after all, forward.com completely lied when they said “Dr. Fauci suggested that he would only make the drug available under the auspices of a controlled clinical trial.” [Fauci did NOT say that, and besides, he does NOT control the availability of ANY drug]):

https://forward.com/news/national/442285/coronavirus-hydroxychloroquine-trump-doctor/

“A doctor treating clients in a Hasidic village in upstate New York said in an interview on Tuesday that none of the roughly 500 people he has treated for coronavirus symptoms symptoms has required hospitalization”

so, this doc treated SYMPTOMS (like cold symptoms) and has zero idea whether ANY of his “patients” ACTUALLY had COVID-19!

Zinc is very useful but don’t take too much or your kidneys will not like it.

Don’t overdo the zinc!

Ask your physician!

Just so everybody's clear on what he said:

Here is a copy of the letter he sent.

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
