President Donald Trump is eyeing another unproven coronavirus "cure," at the recommendation of Housing and Urban Development Sec. Ben Carson, Axios reported Sunday.
Oleandrin a botanical extract from the oleander plant was suggested to the president by Carson in a meeting in the Oval Office in July, according to the Axios report.
MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell, who's known to be well-connected with the president, also expressed support for the experimental extract. Lindell also has a financial stake in the company developing the oleandrin product, Phoenix Biotechnology.
Lindell told Axios that Trump "basically said: 'The FDA should be approving it,'" regarding oleandrin as a potential treatment for the coronavirus.
With the help of Lindell, Andrew Whitney, an executive at Phoenix Biotechnology, personally met with the president to discuss the medical effects of oleandrin, The Washington Post reported earlier this month.
In an interview with Axios, Whitney said he stood by his claim that oleandrin "cured" COVID-19 in a span of two days, and he is actively pushing for the botanical extract to make it to shelves even as a dietary supplement instead of an approved coronavirus treatment to speed up its distribution.
"Now, there are all sorts of lawyers who would tell me I can't say things like that, because you know you need to have years of studies, and you need to have this, that, and the other, and so forth," Whitney told Axios. "But as an American with a right of free expression, I'm telling you, I've seen it with my own eyes."

I think I like hydroxy better than a suicide and abortion agent
Oleander plant will kill you
The extract used must be very refined small and comtrolled
The media is highly irresponsible to put this out with Trumps name just because he met with a scientist. And because they hate the Christian Mike Lindell. I think they want to kill people, like the fish tank cleaner
How strange Dr.Ben Carson, a renowned surgeon, is now just some schlub?
The bottomline is that the President is searching for solutions to a problem.
This outrages the Media. A Democrat would never do such a thing.

Well duh!
In the eyes of the left, agreeing with Trump on anything is an automatic 90 point IQ drop!
Oh, boy. That irresponsible publicity is one way to kill off a lot of snowbirds.

at the recommendation of Housing and Urban Development Sec. Ben Carson...

Interesting. No mention at all in the article that Ben Carson is in fact a doctor. In fact a pediatric neurosurgeon. I’m sure it’s just an innocent oversight.
All over ten bucks worth of "malaria candy"...
Artemisia Annua,(aka sweet annie, sweet wormwood, or mugwort), would be a better choice of natural anti-virals.
Dont worry much about HCQ not being available.
The reason why HCQ works is because it is a zinc ionophore - it lets zinc into the cells, and the zinc stops the virus (and malaria, and lots of other viruses) from replicating. Thats why it is important to take it as soon as symptoms appear - you stop it dead in its tracks before it can do its true damage, which is setting off a cytokine storm in your body (where your immune system kicks into such overdrive to kill the virus that it kills YOU).
There are other zinc ionophores - with quercetin being one of the best known, highest quality (for a natural substance) and best studied. It is about 1/3 as effective as a zinc ionophore as HCQ is, meaning that you probably need to take your zinc with about 1200 mg of quercetin to equal having the 400 mg dose of HCQ that is usually taken on days 2-5 of the treatment (Day 1 has double that). But this is only if you have China virus symptoms. Note that it is safe in doses as high as 10,000 mg/day. It is found naturally in onions, apples and capers, but not in huge quantities - you need to use supplements.
I take a mixture every other day from Life Extension Foundation that has 1000 mg of C with 15 mg of highly bioavailable quercetin (equivalent to 250 mg of what you usually buy in the stores), plus 50 mg of zinc. I wear a mask when in stores and wash my hands, and thus Im not worried much about exposure - so this preventative dose is IMHO sufficient for me, since if I was infected, this mixture would go after it from the first moment, not starting a few days later when symptoms presented.
I take the exact same Bio Quercetin product from Life Extension but also take a 25 mg zinc tablet along with it and I take it every day.
Don’t forget botox. Deadly poison used by all the beautiful people.
I will probably go to everyday pretty soon. School started today for my son (electronic, of course) and my daughter next week. She’s in a paramedic program, and will have to go to class for 8 hours each Friday; in November they start clinicals in the local hospital. Son may start going to class in person as soon as 4 weeks from now. I am thinking about returning to my actual office (instead of my living room) on a full-time basis pretty soon, also. So I need to step up my game.
Glad to see another LEF’er out there. They really make a bunch of quality products, and I love their magazine - truly cutting edge, and I’ve been reading it for over 25 years.
I take Sandhus ZINC/QUERCETIN 22mg zinc, 800mg quercetin per day (2 capsules).
Walmart.com $19.95, Amazon.com $24.95, 120 capsules/60 day supply. Along with Vitamin D3, C, B12, Selenium, Omega 3, 6, & 9, and several other supplements for various other reasons.
I wear a mask only where I have to (NOT while driving alone in my car).
I am NOT concerned about getting COVID-19. I’ll just fight it off if I do and have symptoms. I’m not so sure that I didn’t have it before the pandemic. A mild case. My wife as well shortly after me and she was sicker and it lasted longer with her. Who knows for sure. Only God.
So now the HUD secretary thinks he’s a doctor........
