An Emergency room physician buddy of mine says the efficacy as a prophylactic is best of all.

Which is precisely what all of the governors appear to be "banning".

Note that in your chart 51% of U.S. doctors report using “nothing” to treat Covid-19.

This survey, as I understand it, was an online survey conducted over three days. The 51% number makes me think that half of the 500+ doctors who completed the survey in the U.S. are suffering from TDS and answered “nothing” to make it look like we are doing nothing. The doctors on the front lines are way too busy to bother with a survey anyway.

In other words, I call B.S. on the U.S. part of the survey. It’s interesting that two of the hardest hit countries, Italy and Spain, have settled on HCQ and/or Z-pack, however. I suspect the doctors on the front lines here are coming to the same conclusion.

I interpreted it to say that 51% of the U.S. doctors surveyed say that nothing is the BEST treatment they've seen. Minor semantics I suppose.

They're saying of all the treatments they've given, doing NOTHING had the most positive outcome with their patients.

I don't understand how they can say that doing nothing has turned out to be the most effective treatment for them.

I'm repeating myself because I'm utterly confused as to what they are saying here. And I'm dumbfounded that this is supposedly coming from American doctors.

I got an overly-long phone message from my healthcare provider that stated (among many other things) that there is “no treatment” for COVID-19.

I hope that that doesn’t mean that we will not get hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin if we have high-risk COVID-19 disease!! PHOOEY!!!!

The government should give out large amounts of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin (provided by the drug companies that said that they would produce it) to all healthcare providers (hospitals, HMOs, doctors’ groups, etc.) to thwart hoarders. And all patients with high-risk COVID-19 disease (without contraindications) should have the right to receive it!!!!

What you described is what one theory says about the effect of HCQ. Zinc is a charged ion in the body and can’t get inside an infected cell by itself. HCQ is an ionophore—it docks with the cell and provides a channel through the cell wall that the zinc ion can use to enter the cell. Once inside it can start acting on the virus which is replicating itself in the cell. (This is a layman’s description, not a medical one, so terms are descriptive but not accurate.)

Long story short, quercetin is also an ionophore and might also work. It’s also an OTC supplement so you can get it. As for the zinc, most people on a decent diet probably already have zinc onboard.

And then there’s dosage. That guy who died taking fish tank stuff was taking a legitimate chloroquine medication, but in impure form and in a dosage that would have killed him even if it was pure. In the right dosage it might have worked, although he didn’t even have Covid-19 at the time as far as I know—a fine Darwin Award contestant and probably winner (except his wife might have murdered him, but that’s another issue entirely).

The point is, dosage matters and no one has tested it for Covid-19, plus if HCQ has contraindications, this drug probably has all of those and then some, given that HCQ is the safer drug. All that said, I got a bottle just in case there’s no HCQ available (or permitted) if I need it with very low confidence that it will work.

MUST INCLUDE ZINC!

ZINC is the CURE, hydroxychloroquine is the vehicle, Azithromycin, helps, not essential.

The “cocktail” that works best is: Hydroxychloroquine, ZINC, Azithromycin.

If you’ve got it, settle for NOTHING LESS!

What have you got to lose? Other than YOUR LIFE!

The question asked “which ones” meaning I assume that you could pick more than one.

And yet hospital doctors are receiving it for prophylaxis or treatment if they have a positive test. So Cuomo is lying that it is only being used as FDA approves or in clinical trials. It was used14 days ago on a doctor in aBrooklyn hospital who got a full exposure to the virus. She was treated for 5 days. Home on day Six.

Great news. Sounds like world doctors are coming to a consensus that HCQ/Zpack is the first line of defense to fight the virus.

Very interesting that Spain is now using it heavily, and also Italy. They both were late being allowed to use the combo by their governments but really there isn’t much else readily available and both countries have been devastated by the virus. Hopefully there will be a steady reduction of deaths seen.

I posted a story from Dr. Smith on his very successful treatment of COVID-19 treatment with Hydroxychoroquine on our HOA Facebook site. All of the responses were negative, calling it “FakeNews” and that HC was homeopathic and that it doesn’t work. Literally, our HOA FB page is full of people hoping there is no cure.

If I were symptomatic, the first thing I am saying to my doctor is: “HCQ, PDQ, ASAP!!!”

I would say that before I said “Hello.”
