Couldn't agree with you more. So many studies look at one drug or supplement in isolation and often use it at inappropriate stages of the disease, then declare "XYZ is useless." We saw that time and again with HCQ. That infuriates me.
I started the full recommended prophylaxis treatment shortly after Dr. Roger Seheult released his "Coronavirus Update 59: Dr. Roger Seheult's Daily Regimen (Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC)" on April 21, 2020. Almost the same recommendations were in the EVMS COVID Protocol at the time, too, and other doctors were beginning to make the same recommendations.
It would be real illuminating to see the results of a retrospective study of COVID cases and deaths for people who have been on this prophylaxis protocol for the past six to twelve months.
Yup. It’s even worse when it’s designed to fail for PR purposes.
I’m terribly disappointed that so much energy was put into destroying potentially viable off the shelf treatments by the CDC/NIH/FDA and the many states/pharmacy boards and the media following their lead. And of course, most doctors and hospitals following a similar institutional response. I don’t for a second believe it had anything to do with caring for patients and in any case what is a vaccine going to do for the millions of unresolved cases still pending in the USA and around the world?
Ivermectin seems to be even better than HCQ especially if you don’t catch it early enough. Small-ish countries that don’t expect to get vaccines anytime soon are buying it in massive quantities. This may end up being a case where the USA lead the world in the exact wrong direction.
I take all those myself, except the NAC. I’ve heard it mentioned but not quite sure what it contributes.
And fwiw, I take the “raw” form, naturally derived not synthetic. Not sure it makes a difference for these purposes but generally speaking I’m inclined to believe that the synthetics might be ever so imperceptibly different than those produced by nature. Maybe it makes no difference at all just my preference.
