You obviously do not follow the posts but for your highness’ happiness...The reason that we are using HCQ is because it modulates the autoimmune reaction that causes shock (some people call it cytokine storm...its a misnomer). It acts as a relative anti-inflammatory on the immune level which causes loss of progression to the critical phase, and rescues in the critical phase. We are not treating the virus per se as much as the ramped up autoimmune function. The fact that there is some virocidal activity is NOT the principle issue. Azithromycin likewise has mild virocidal activity but also acts as an anti-inflammatory and works against the SIRS response.
This is the science — I can’t help it if you want to promote all the rest.
Thank you, Doctor. I do understand the science. It is also ‘the science’ that the ionophore action of BCQ qyickly reduces the vural load when there is not a zinc insufficiency. Thank you for adding to the discussion of ‘the science’.
“modulates the autoimmune reaction”
Is that at all similar to how prednisone functions?
I’ve seen material by some Canadian dentists who mention iodine - as in Lugol’s, but not so much in Betadine, as a potent viricide and bactericide. From the tech details, gargling with 25 ppm iodine (Lugol’s cut 1000:1) or applied to a mask or filter (higher concentration, so cut 100:1 to 250:1) seems effective. Lugol’s is 2% iodine and 4% potassium iodide, and 94% distilled water. Safe? Not safe?
I’m not a doctor, and I am not advising anybody on anything.
