“There’s no cure.”
People are frightened when they hear these words. I know I was.
For those of you who don’t know my story, after surviving a medical error in 2015 only to be diagnosed with a rare bone cancer, I found myself without the luxury of time to wait for a potentially life-saving treatment to be approved.
Sound familiar? Millions of Americans right now are unfortunately experiencing my same fear—as we don’t have the luxury of waiting months or even years for a coronavirus cure to be approved. Although the coronavirus is certainly different than cancer, it’s still the same invisible enemy of death. But just because the enemy is invisible doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. Especially when you’re fighting for your life—and suddenly find Donald Trump fighting for it too.
President Trump recently announced his visionary Right to Try approach to combatting the coronavirus, exploring experimental treatments that could potentially eradicate the virus even “around the 5th day of treatment.”
But some alarmists are already crying “danger, danger,” denouncing the President as giving “a false sense of hope,” and even going so far as trying to scare people into thinking the treatment might “kill” you.
So what’s new? Many fought against giving the terminally ill the Right to Try for almost half a century—until President Trump got it done. For the life of me, I don’t see what’s so dangerous about having the Right to Try a potentially life-saving treatment if you know without it you’re going to die anyway. Like the President says, “What do you have to lose?” because “you know, we can bring our finances back very quickly. We can’t bring the people back.”
As we learn of the vast array of bureaucratic roadblocks the Trump administration is breaking down and through just to make coronavirus tests available, Americans are finally realizing that regulations designed to safeguard public health under normal circumstances can be deadly when patients need immediate treatment. When you’ve exhausted all options, the last thing you want to die from is politics and bureaucracy. That’s why President Trump is fighting tirelessly to “[slash] red tape to develop vaccines and therapies as fast as it can possibly be done” including exploring the promising combination of “Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin” as well as initiating “the first clinical trial of a vaccine candidate for the virus…launched in record time.”
That’s why I’m not afraid of the coronavirus even though I’m obviously not ignorant to the fact that I—like millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions—am more at risk, especially those of us living in high-impact states like California. As I’ve written previously, cancer prepared me for the coronavirus outbreak. I’ve already been left to die in red tape before—only to have Donald Trump cut it and save my life.
Obviously none of us know if the next page in our stories is going to be a happily ever after—or a heavenly one. But I don’t know about you, I’d rather take a chance on life than the certainty of death any day. And when you choose to take a risk and turn the page rather than stay and die on the page you’re on, you just might find the same Good Samaritan saving your life too.
There is no cure for the Corona Virus.
Right and there is also no cure for any of the many virus which circulate every year and kill literally MILLIONS of people.
There is also no cure for the common cold. But despite this article cancer cn and has been cured. have two friends and each of them beat cancer over 20 yrs ago.
There are at least hundreds of forms of cancer.
Some can be successfully treated others can't.
I think the human immune system cures the common cold.
Correct as does it also cure the Chinese Virus over 99% of the time.
Chicken Soup and Oreos cure the common cold...............
I feel like we are basically Africans trying to use the only weapon we have at our disposal to fight disease, quarantine, social distancing, these things that we do to try to slow the spread.
I thank God above that our President is Donald Trump because he is that man we need in the Oval office at this time.
I am afraid of this disease. It is doubling every few days. I don’t think Trump intends to reopen the country quicker than it should be reopened. Rather, I think we are looking at The Art of the Deal in action when dealing with people like Senator Schumer.
Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner

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

I saw this but thank you.
The pearl clutchers here will ignore it as “anecdotal”.
So far there are 1000’s of anecdotal cases like these. But gloom and doom sells or at least the clutchers think it does.
