...cured his 96-year-old father of coronavirus"
[snip]Over the past two months, about 50 percent of our news coverage has been focused on coronavirus. Our goal is not to make up the news but to share relevant information from reliable sources about this deadly virus. To date, the vast majority of our coverage has been focused on sharing news from researchers and scientists about effective treatments for the COVID-19 virus. According to doctors working in the front lines, one of the most effective drugs for treating coronavirus patients is hydroxychloroquine.
[snip]Now that we get that out of the way, we would like to share another hydroxychloroquine success story. Last night, Dr. Marc Siegel, a Fox News medical correspondent, shared a personal story of how hydroxychloroquine saved his father’s life. In an interview with Tucker Carlson on Tuesday Tonight, Dr. Siegel shared a story of a patient who used the drug with a surprise ending.
Dr. Siegel pointed out that there have been multiple preliminary studies that have shown that hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, has a positive effect on coronavirus patients, despite what many called potential harmful side effects.

Tucker was obviously unprepared for that story, Dr. Siegel to his credit got it out before his segment was summarily cut with Tucker saying something about "more after the break". Someone'S do not want President Trump to win this war on coronavirus....actually it was won years and years ago with its success against Malaria, Lupus, and types of arthritis. WHY THEN the road-blocks? Medical/political Jealousy, some part of the 2 Trillion coronavirus spending? Get your doctors to prescribe hydroxychloroquine as a preventative or a curative if you have no underlying health problem and follow that doctor's instructions.
It says Fox News but then it goes to a blog.
Anyway, here is the part of the blog you didn’t post but could have.

Dr. Siegel began, “If you’re a doctor, and you take into account the side effects here, and there are some, you may decide that it’s well worth it for particular patients.” As he went on Dr. Siegel said: “Tucker, I want to tell you about a 96-year-old man in Florida who said one night, ‘I don’t think I’m going to make it. I feel very weak. The end is coming. I’m coughing, I’m short of breath, I can’t get up from the couch,’” Siegel recounted. “The next day he was on hydroxychloroquine and antibiotics, per his cardiologist, he got up the next day, he was fine.”
In a surprise ending that left Tucker almost speechless, Dr. Siegel said: “This man is my father, Tucker.”
“Wow,” Carlson responded. “That couldn’t be a clearer and heavier example.”
Dr. Siegel’s story is not an isolated one. A day before, a Democratic Michigan state lawmaker also made headlines saying hydroxychloroquine saved her life. She went on to thank U.S. President Trump after she claimed that her coronavirus symptoms “went from zero to 100 in [no] time” after taking the hydroxychloroquine.
Below is the video of the Dr. Siegel interview.
BHT and its interaction with certain lipid coated viruses (corona)
BHT is an antioxidant and common food preservative, approved by the FDA for food, oils and fats. Over 25 years ago, a paper was published in the journal Science showing that BHT could inactivate herpes simplex and other lipid coated viruses in vitro (In lab dishes).(1) This was followed by another paper published in Science showing that BHT could prevent chickens from dying of Newcastle disease.(2) The herpes virus and the virus that causes Newcastles disease have a lipid envelope. That is, the nucleic acid core of these viruses is coated with a fatty membrane. Viruses of this type require an intact lipid membrane in order to penetrate cell walls and infect living cells. And BHT will disrupt their lipid membrane.
BHT appears to work against such viruses by disrupting their lipid membranes making them vulnerable to the immune system and imparing their ability to penetrate human cells. BHT also removes binding proteins that the virus uses to penetrate cell membranes. In addition, BHT acts as an antioxidant neutralizing free radicals that damage cell membranes and cause inflammation. It is believed that the destructive action of many pathogenic viruses involves the destructive action of free radicals on cellular membranes. More recent studies have confirmed the anti-viral activity of BHT against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus), (3) pseudorabies (4), genital herpes (5), HIV (6) and some strains of influenza.(7)
A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be affected by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, ckytomegalovirus, west nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. BHT has not been clinically tested and approved to treat these infections.
Based on these early scientific results, some individuals afflicted with herpes virus infections began experimenting on themselves with BHT. They used dosages in the 250 to 3000 mg. per day range with the result that they experienced a reduction in herpes outbreaks. For some, their eruptions remained suppressed for as long as they continued to take BHT daily. For others, they were able to eventually discontinue taking BHT with no recurrences. BHT is discussed in Mann and Fowke’s book “Wipe Out Herpes with BHT” and Pearson and Shaw’s book “Life Extension”.(8)(9)
At issue is that none of the controlled studies on the antiviral properties of BHT have been performed on humans. Rather, most of the experiments have been conducted in the laboratory or on animals. In addition, BHT is a common, inexpensive substance that is unpatentable. No pharmaceutical company will invest money in researching and certifying its value as a medication. Furthermore, it may be difficult to perform human trials because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved BHT for use only as a food preservative, not as a medicine.
Therefore, it is not approved for the treatment of herpes infections or any other disease. While doctors have the authority to prescribe BHT, they could face peer pressure and malpractice insurance issues for using unapproved treatments. You are, therefore, unlikely to get a doctor to recommend or prescribe BHT. If you decide to make an independent decision to take BHT, at least tell your doctor what you are doing so that he can give you advice regarding your diagnosis, your other treatment options, potential consequences, possible drug interactions, etc.
The lack of approval hasn’t stopped some people from using BHT on their own to treat herpes or other viral conditions. While there is no accounting of how many people have used BHT to treat herpes and other viral infections, the estimates run from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
I have taken it in the past starting way back twenty-five years ago, if and when needed and once again started taking it again when this corona virus came on the scene. Since BHT is oil soluble it is absorbed better when first dissolved in oil, like olive oil. What I found works very well is to use 200 ML (two hundred milliliters) of olive oil and dissolve about 18 gm (eighteen grams) of BHT crystals. If this is done within a small container like a glass bottle, warm it up lightly by putting it in a microwave oven for a few seconds (20) to speed up dissolving the BHT. One tsp. of this, depending on the size of the tsp. should give you about anywhere from 450 mg to 500 mg of BHT.
And by the way, most likely you may have heard the old saying to close the barn door before the horses are out. He same goes for BHT.. Better to take it before the virus takes hold of your system. Well just a thought until something better comes up like immunization.
To the people who trashed Trump over this, I hope they can’t get the drug ever, no matter how badly they need it.
Hydroxychloroquine or HCQ for short will not in itself be enough.
Zinc is Key.
HCQ + Zinc
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE + ZINC — MECHANISM OF ACTION

“She went on to thank U.S. President Trump after she claimed that her coronavirus symptoms “went from zero to 100 in [no] time” after taking the hydroxychloroquine.”
Does having zero symptoms mean one no longer has the virus and cannot transmit the virus?
We are already highly overachieving on slowing the spread.
It’s past time to start letting up on the economic choke-holds.
Anecdotal™
HCQ + Azithromycin + Zinc.
...the proof in is the pudding...there are a lot of good endings/success stories out there using hydroxychloroquine.
“Hydroxychloroquine or HCQ for short will not in itself be enough.”
Well, that’s not 100% true. If a person has an ample amount of Zinc in their blood already , the HDQ will allow it to be absorbed into the cell thus permitting it to be effective.
The caveat is many people do not have the level of Zinc in their blood to allow the HDQ to be as effective as it might be.
So to be on the safe side the high quality Zinc supplement should be prescribed to be sure.
This protocol is what is responsible for my 50 year old nephew being released to go home seven days after starting the drug while in the ICU. Thank God for Trump’s advocacy for this life saving drug.
Want to tell us what the initials BHT mean?
This doctor agrees about the zinc. It’s critical. 8 to 12 hours from seriously ill to no symptoms.

“... what many called potential harmful side effects...”
“potential” No one was ever harmed from a “potential” side effect. Only “REAL” side effects can harm you.
The FIRST time I saw Trump mention “ZINC” was on the Hannity interview the other night.
The very next day Trump at the daily press conference Trump mentioned “ZINC” SEVERAL times!
We are getting through to Trump!
He MUST have seen it or heard about it from HERE!
The zinc thing is all over the net, not just here.
