Therapeutics are where its at. My neighbor after contracting the Vid was told to stay home and see how it goes and if he got worse, go to the hospital. 2 weeks later he’s dead. Should have been put right on a therapeutic instead of waiting and ending up in the hospital.
What a disgrace.
I called my own family medicine (general) doc TWICE and got the same God Damned response from his assistant both times. They REALLY piss me off.
I contacted Push Health, got a telemedicine consultation (by email), and had Ivermectin within 24 hours. I've got a full prescription of Doxycycline from late 2020 that I didn't use.
To make sure I have enough on hand, I then contacted Dr. George Fareed and had a phone consultation. He sent in prescriptions for HCQ, Ivermectin, and Doxy (he believes in improved efficacy if both HCQ and Ivermectin are used in conjunction). The pharmacist warned me that Ivermectin is not effective! I contradicted him and told him about the numerous clinical trials all over the world showing remarkable efficacy. Unfortunately the pharmacist wouldn't fill the HCQ prescription without a diagnosis of COVID!
I've been using the full EVMS / Dr. Seheult prophylaxis protocol for three, maybe four, months now.
Unfortunately, my immunologist recommended I not get the vaccine until we have a few months of experience with anaphylaxis reactions to it.
One has to take charge of one’s own care when dealing with the medical establishment.
My own experience is that if you’re a well-informed and energetic advocate for yourself, you can quickly move from the “this is the standard of care” to “ok, we can try something more aggressive.”
Two points: 1) if you’re enrolled in a large managed care plan (like Kaiser), you’ll probably have to go outside of the plan and 2) You’ll need to open your wallet, but usually not as wide as you might expect.
You can get what you need, but you have to push.
Everybody I know either has gotten hcQ before now, or Ivermectin now, from their Dr., if they have a decent Dr. The people that can’t get the Ivermectin go to Tractor Supply and get some. It’s in the horse meds aisle. You can find out proper dosage doing some interwebs research. (But now the scumbags are trying to purge this info.)
A friend stayed home until he collapsed. They took him to the ER, but they had no beds. He said there were gurneys in the hallway and in the waiting room. People were getting IV’s in their cars.
He got 3 bags of IV and was sent home.
