CBS Coronavirus Drug Exclusive: Meet Dr. Zelenko, The Doctor Behind The Hydroxychloroquine Treatment, And What’s Next For Its Use
New York CBS Local ^ | 05/01/2020

ROSLYN, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – One New York doctor claims to have kept hundreds of coronavirus patients out of the hospital with a cocktail of medications.

It’s been criticized as unproven, but now a major hospital in New York is launching a clinical trial based on the treatment, reports CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff.

In the village of Kiryas Joel in Orange County, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a self-described “country doctor,” says a cocktail of medicines keeps his patients alive.

Weeks ago, he recorded this message for President Donald Trump: “I’m seeing tremendous positive results. I haven’t sent any patient to the hospital yet, even though I’ve treated hundreds already.”

Zelenko prescribes the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine but only when two other substances are added, an antibiotic and zinc.

“All the hydroxychloroquine does is open the door and let the zinc in,” said Zelenko, a board-certified family physician.

Hydroxychloroquine got the president’s attention, and swiftly got him criticism for touting unfounded cures.

“There are people dying,” said Trump at the time. “If it works, that would be great.”

It’s Zelenko’s combination of meds given early on when people first get sick that makes his protocol unique. He claims of his 400 patients at high risk for severe illness, only two died.

In New York State, though, that’s a Catch-22. To prevent shortages, pharmacists can only dispense hydroxychloroquine for severe hospital-based cases. By then, Zelenko says it’s ineffective.

“There is a very narrow window of opportunity where you can hit this virus hard and early where it makes all the difference,” said Zelenko.

Now science will weigh in. St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, NY is launching a study using essentially Zelenko’s cocktail. On newly symptomatic patients with underlying conditions, Hydroxychloroquine and zinc will be given to all of them.

Youtube has banned this video. It is CBS local news, yet Youtube doesn’t want us to see it. I want to post it on Facebook, but can’t find a valid link. Help?

The Medcram Dr said last night in his Webinar that dots still need to be proven as to whether Quercetin will do similar with zinc...but the dots are connected.

Quercetin is hard to absorp so it needs help.One of the Drs I follow that is treating Covid patients is taking quercetin phytosome. I take that and alternate with Quercetin Bromelain

Definitely good to finally see someone in the msm get the right message out with right combo and timing given. Hopefully St Francis will do the study right and be honest and hopefully good results will come of it.

The main stream media has been suppressing the news about the successes of this cocktail. Trump needs to bring a few of these doctors, who are using it, to his pressers, minus the doomsayers, Fauci and Birx, to tout it’s success. A good therapeutic will do wonders toward opening up this economy. And it’s cheap at around $20, I hear.

The guy should be awarded the Medal of Freedom in a huge ceremony in the middle of a Trump speech to the Nation.

That ought to frost a whole bunch of Liberal patooties.

The Role of Quercetin in Wine:”

Quercetin is a naturally occurring phenol in grape skins and stems that developed to protect grapes from ultraviolet light damage.

Generally speaking, the more grapes are exposed to sunlight, the more quercetin they contain.

Probably, the late harvest red grapes like cab contain the most Quercetin.

Meanwhile NY still awaits results cuomo’s clinical trial that he promised weeks ago- so while 1000’s more die needlessly every week, the trial’s results wait in limbo because ‘orange man bad’

I wonder if cuomo will ban the doctor from publishing his results-

I guess this answers my question in my last post- Dirty Dirty dealings in NY- NY is allowing people to die while a doctor trying to save lives is being investigated-

“Dr. Zelenko Under Surveillance: Hasidic doctor touting controversial drug has emails examined by Justice Dept. prosecutors”

I have found a seemingly better way to get a point to POTUS. Directing short copy to Mark Meadows pays off from time to time. Co incidentally it was Mark that tipped Trump off about the potential viability of Hydroxychloroquine.

How much (dosage) Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc is being used in hospitals to successfully treat virus?

Take Quercetin before sick or only after getting sick?

I can only tell you that Dr. Z’s pre-hospital protocol is 5 days as follows:
Hydroxychloroquine 200mg daily X 5
Zinc Sulfate 220mg X 5 days
Azithromycin 500mg X 5 days
Consult your Doctor..some possible side effects from the antibiotic.
