Renowned physician: Trump's 'medicine of choice' works with zinc

Dr. Eric Berg quoted observations made by Dr. Anthony Cardillo, who recounted his success in significantly improving the medical conditions of coronavirus patients after giving them anti-malaria medication (hydroxychloroquine) along with the zinc supplement.

According to Dr. Berg, the anti-malarial medication allows zinc to infiltrate cells and prevent the coronavirus from multiplying.

He emphasized that the drug should not be taken by healthy individuals or with the absence of a doctor's prescription. He also noted that many coronavirus patients had been observed to have zinc deficiencies.

Thanks for the link. Different perspective BUMP!

The goal of better decision making is behind the current hype surrounding big data, the emergence of “evidence-based” everything—policy,—medicine,—practice,—management, and issues such as climate change, fiscal predictions, health assessment, even what information you are exposed to online. The field of statistics has been addressing the reliability of results derived from data for a long time, with many very successful contributions (for example, confidence intervals, quantifying the distribution of model errors, and the concept of robustness).

The scientific method suggests skepticism when interpreting conclusions, and a responsibility to communicate scientific findings transparently, so others may evaluate and understand the result. We need to bring these notions into our everyday expectations when presented with new computational results. We should be able to dig in and find out where the statistics came from, how they were computed, and why we should believe them. Those concepts receive almost no consideration when findings are publicly communicated.

I’m not saying we should independently verify every fact that enters our daily life—there just isn’t enough time, even if we wanted to—but the ability should exist where possible, especially for knowledge generated with the help of computers. Even if no one actually tries to follow the chain of reasoning and calculations, more care will be taken when generating the findings when the potential for inspection exists. If only a small number of people look into the reasoning behind results, they might find issues, provide needed context, or be able to confirm their acceptance of the finding as is. In most cases the technology exists to make this possible.

Are you questioning your Mom?

Thanks for correction if true -> I must have learned it wrong as a kid.

I have been bombarding a lot of threads with Vitamin D info lately. You were right to point out the need. If we all started taking it in sufficient quantity, the Chinese flu would not be a serious problem.

There is an article on NIH by a Canadian physician (Dr. Gerry Schwalfenberg) who works in nursing homes. He has developed a protocol for reducing flu like illness among his patients. This should be tried against the corona virus in US hospitals:

"A colleague of mine and I have introduced vitamin D at doses that have achieved greater than 100 nmol/L in most of our patients for the past number of years, and we now see very few patients in our clinics with the flu or influenzalike illness. In those patients who do have influenza, we have treated them with the vitamin D hammer, as coined by my colleague. This is a 1-time 50 000 IU dose of vitamin D3 or 10 000 IU 3 times daily for 2 to 3 days. The results are dramatic, with complete resolution of symptoms in 48 to 72 hours. One-time doses of vitamin D at this level have been used safely and have never been shown to be toxic. We urgently need a study of this intervention. The cost of vitamin D is about a penny for 1000 IU, so this treatment costs less than a dollar."

Vitamin D for influenza

There is a presentation by Dr. Robert P Heaney on the healthful effects of adequate vitamin D levels:

Coronavirus can be Prevented - Vitamin D Solution

D is for Debacle - The Crucial Story of Vitamin D and Human Health

There are NIH articles going back years about Vitamin D3 being effective against the flu. It is also known that most people have a vitamin D3 deficiency. But there are millions to be made in developing vaccines, and even more to be made in creating a panic.

Thanks - here's a not very long review of D studies vs resp sickness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5yVGmfivAk

Also of note is that darker skinned people aren't as efficient at making it from sunlight. That may also be contributing to blacks being harder hit along w/all the other factors. Yes D is racist too.

“Trump’s ‘medicine of choice’”......

Which medicine is that? He hasn’t made a choice on any medicine. He only said one looked promising in early tests. ‘Nother lie.

Toss in some C and A and selenium and magnesium and a general multi while you’re at it. A little iodine wouldn’t hurt.

And plenty of rest and fluids and moderate exercise and positive thinking and a decent low-sugar/simple carbs diet and sufficient human connection, even if just virtual.

[tinyowl]

That's what I'm doing. I always take a multi and omega and a couple others ... added D and an ACESelenium + Zinc for the little commie virus and will probably continue that practice ...

It took me a couple days to figure out when the gym closed that nature's treadmill was always at the end of my driveway - 3/4 mile dirt/gravel road loop and mud season just ended ... can't believe I never used it.

The work on chloroquine was abandoned after sars was believed eradicated. Perhaps now we know that next time such work should be continued. The RdRP interference mechanism has important implications for HIV too.

[dfwgator]

We’re going to have to expect going forward, something like this happening every 10 years, at least.

[Eleutheria5]

Oh, he made a commercial. Don’t you know. For all-new CHQ cereal with extra Zinc. The cereal that Covid sufferers everywhere would like to munch, if it weren’t for that poopy head, the evil Dr. Fow Chi, who surgically changed his face and accent so he could pretend to be Italian. CHQ with extra zinc. Available at pharmacies everywhere. Double-blind tests optional. Send in box tops for action figures.

[Widget Jr]

Excuse me, but this treatment should be credited to Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.

Dr Corsi Decodes 4/3/20: Dr Vladimir Zelenko & Dr. Karladine Graves - HCQ Protocol To Win Virus War

20 minutes in Dr. Zelenko goes into the hydroxychlorquine-zinc-acytomyocin treatment he's using.
I'm not a doctor so this isn't medical advice, and I hope no one gets in the position of making a decision over what treatment to take for Covid-19.

[Bonemaker]

Fauci and Birx will want a three stage clinical trial spread out over three years. That’s not the way the west was won.

[Bonemaker]

Is there any zinc in Jack Daniels? Allegedly, zinc can cure or at least help somewhat with wood.😎

[Bonemaker]

“I keep hearing from certain doctors on TV, that it’s only “anecdotal” evidence that hydrochloriquine(sp?) and a Z Pack and Zinc are effective against the virus.”

Penicillin was only “anectdotal” at one point too.

[griffin]

FYI! :) Hope you are doing exceedingly well and your stash of supplements is weathering the storm!

[9YearLurker]

Ah, yes—I pop a fish oil too.

Most of my exercise has been getting in a bigger veggie garden than I’ve had before.

[SC DOC]

Thanks. So far so good.

Biology requires sufficient zinc for enzymes or other entities to form for proper function of the body?

[Ozark Tom]

Add some roofing tacks?
