What’s All The Buzz About Quercetin?
American Thinker.com ^ | November 2, 2021 | Brian C. Joondeph M.D

Posted on 11/02/2021 3:03:07 AM PDT by Kaslin

Quercetin has been in the news lately, particularly as one of many potential therapeutics that might have some benefit in the prevention or treatment of COVID infection. Is there anything to this?

Big media and the medical establishment are quick to pounce on any “unapproved” potential therapeutics that haven’t gone through large prospective randomized clinical trials and don’t have the seal of FDA approval. Even FDA approval is not enough if the medications are being used off-label as in the case of hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. Decades ago, both were deemed safe and effective by the FDA and approved for human use, although not for COVID or similar viral infections as COVID didn’t even exist when the FDA approved these medications.

Today there is a peculiar hostility toward these medications, both of which are on the list of the World Health Organization’s essential medicines. A Fox News host told viewers that hydroxychloroquine “will kill you” and the FDA told its Twitter followers that ivermectin is for horses and cows and to stop using it. This must have been shocking news to millions around the world who take these medications, some for many years, in the U.S. prescribed by a physician, and elsewhere in the world readily available over the counter.

I am not advocating for or against these drugs, instead referring interested readers to other sources of information on the science and potential benefits of these medications in our fight against COVID. Quercetin appears to be the third in this line of potential therapeutics, not yet being called horse paste, but if history is a guide, it may soon be maligned as dog and cat medicine, the same of which can be said for many drugs taken by humans but also used in animals.

I used to get one or two viral illnesses each year. Every cold was followed by an increasingly bad case of bronchitis. A year before COVID hit, bronchitis turned into walking pneumonia even after getting the pneumonia vaccine. That was a very frightening episode.

I retired four years ago and that seems to have reduced the frequency of infections a bit.

I started the cocktail of quercetin, C, D3, NAC, and melatonin about 19 or 20 months ago after listening to Dr. Roger Seheult describing the steps he was taking to protect himself in his hospital when caring for COVID patients. You can find his regimen on Medcram on YouTube. It’s similar to the protocols published by many other doctors.

If I feel any sort of sort throat starting, I now use Betadine povidone iodine gargle and Vicks “First Defence” nasal spray with carrageenan.

I also stepped up my hand washing a lot and work hard to reduce facial touches.

Result: not one viral infection since March 2020, so this has paid great benefits for me personally.

If you have a long term friendly Conservative Private Pharmacist, and it’s Not a scheduled drug, not out of site price wise about $95 per 20 tablets, they may sell it to you as a Misc. item under the counter.

Add at least 500 mg C. Diabetics C will up your BS. Quercetin is a must.1 tab a day, Amazon sells it, fast delivery compared to vitamin online sales.

I get Amoxicillin that way, I get frequent inconvenient times ear infections. But a round is just $14.00. No doctor, no wait till Monday to make an appointment, Until obumer forced us to use the Military base open hours are irregular, closed fed holidays, training, no weekends, or Express Scripts 2 week wait, except for small ER antibiotics, just don’t ask for a SIBO one, It’s over $1,000. I can’t wait until Monday for an appointment 3 weeks off. It damages my already medically damaged hearing.

Given the level of regulatory capture of the FDA by Big Pharma that I perceive, that’s quite an endorsement of NAC.

Web site?

Curious why you didn’t take Ivm, for treatment, like your wife did.

And now you can’t buy it in the US. Shocker. I used my last bottle of this and tried to reorder from Nutricost through Amazon. No joy.

Human grade ivermectin seems to be almost as rare as hen’s teeth in the US.

If you were an illiterate African villager, you could get human grade ivermectin for free.

It flows like candy in a third world country - but here in our first world medical dictatorship - NO HORSE PASTE FOR YOU!!!

Wow. $135 for 100. Isn’t that a bit on the expensive side for ivermectin?

Dr. Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko of Hydroxychloroquine contra Covid fame, actually said that if you cannot get Hydroxychloroquine because you cannot find a physician who will prescribe it for prophylaxis, the other alternative would be to use Quercetin, a little less effective but still good aid to prevention.

He developed a formula called Z-STACK, which contains the essential ingredients for prophylaxis against Covid

Bingo, I just stumbled upon his product today. I have been taking C, Liquid D, Zinc & Quecertin religiously since I found out about them probably spring of 2020. Recently friends got the Covi and got some Iver, but wanted the "Q" as part of regiment they found. I found some for them, it is sometimes hard to find, people are now aware of it. Anyway speaking to a PHD in the medical arena of sorts they told me I should feel good about your health regime and what you are taking, your friends got it, you didn't. I never looked at it like that, (you still worry) that perhaps this profolatic Dr Z regiment I have been following might be keeping me safe.

BTW, Melatoin in a sleep supplement, and a host of other suppliments as well....

The weapons of the left are Fear, Greed and Envy. Their religion is Nihilism. They have nothing positive to offer anyone. Why they love misery and chaos baffles me. It can only be that they are evil and of the devil.
