This writer has missed EVERYTHING that he could have learned over these past many weeks.I hope I NEVER see someone like this in my ER visit.
Poor oxygenation caused by the virus blocking hemoglobin oxygen function.
Hydroxy, with Zith And Zinc, EARLY.
There, I’m an ER Doc too.
Agreed,
Who is this guy?
if this guy is seeing patients in the ICU, its probably too late for the zinc/H/A trifecta....
This was posted today so he has had to of heard of HCQ or zinc, but not one mention of them.
hakim means “wise” in Arabic.
The virus doesn’t block the hemoglobin, red cells damaged in the cytokine storms release their hemoglobin at the lungs(causing the ground glass scenario in the lungs) as well as in the blood stream. The free strands of hemo globin have a binding effect on o2 but it will not release it(much like what happens in carbon monoxide poisoning...only the co molecule is bound and won’t be released). (Now immature red blood cells in the marrow do still have their nuclear material in them so I’ve wondered if the virus attacks such cells in the marrow itself. RBC’s normally lose their nucleuses when they are to be released to the bloodstream to take up their work in gas and nutrient transport for the body.)
I’ve wondered if Desferal Therapy which is an iron chelation drug might work against such damaged hemoglobin by working to strip the iron from them. Zinc itself might help in that zinc competes with iron for absorption in the gut and may mitigate what the iron does in those damaged hemoglobin packets in terms of 02 binding. Zinc after all is used in the galvanizing of ferrous metals to keep them from OXIDIZING or rusting.
