More doctors are seeing success with Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc Sulphate in treating Coronavirus patients

As mainstream media continues to downplay the effectiveness of malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as an unproven drug, more doctors are reportedly seeing success with hydroxychloroquine and Zinc Sulphate in treating coronavirus patients. One of those doctors is Los Angeles, California-based doctor said he is seeing significant success in prescribing the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc to treat patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19, according to a report from ABC News.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo, CEO of Mend Urgent Care, says “Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free,” Cardillo said in an interview Sunday with KABC-TV. “So, clinically I am seeing a resolution.” He added that combining the drug with zinc has been the key to the success. The hydroxychloroquine, he said, “opens the zinc channel” allowing the zinc to enter the cell, which then “blocks the replication of cellular machinery.”

Dr. Anthony Cardillo, who is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank, said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients. However, he said using hydroxychloroquine does not work.

Dr. Cardillo is not alone. Over the past two weeks, we also told you about other doctors who have seen positive results using a combination of hydroxychloroquine, Zinc and azithromycin. For example, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, successfully treated 699 coronavirus patients using the same drug regimen. Also, results of the first 62 patient randomized clinical trial show hydroxychloroquine helps coronavirus patients improve. Dr. Marlow Hernandez, the CEO of Cano Health, also said he has found some preliminary early success with hydroxycholoquine among coronavirus patients in hospitals in Florida. “Hydroxychloroquine is an important weapon in our arsenal,” he said.

Hydroxychloroquine has long been used for treatment of malaria and conditions such as lupus and arthritis. On March 30, the FDA issued emergency use authorization of anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine for treatment of coronavirus patients. The FDA is encouraging trials and has provided limited emergency authorization for its use to treat COVID-19 patients.

“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free,” Cardillo told Eyewitness News. “So clinically I am seeing a resolution.”

He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication. He added that the drug should not be prescribed for those who are presenting only mild symptoms, as there are concerns about shortages for patients with other conditions who need to take the drug on a regular basis.

“We have to be cautious and mindful that we don’t prescribe it for patients who have COVID who are well,” Cardillo said. “It should be reserved for people who are really sick, in the hospital or at home very sick, who need that medication. Otherwise we’re going to blow through our supply for patients that take it regularly for other disease processes.”

Trump was right. Media was wrong.

Go figure.

I am thankful this treatment appears to be gaining traction as having a reliable and effective treatment will be key to reducing not only deaths, but the panic and hysteria.

Watch your back Dr. Hernandez, watch your back and check your life insurance is up to date.

Be aware your car might accelerate out of control. you might off yourself with two bullets in the back of your head.

There seems to be no central clearing house of treatment type vs recovery rate. We get this information from disparate sources which often cite the same story or report which can muddy the waters.

This is not good, the dems and Dr. Fauchi don’t want a cure, they want 2 years of test studies so they can find a new medication, costing hundreds of dollars per pill. WHO and CDC are in the tank for these quacks and their studies.

I might suggest that the docs consider adding 10k IU vitamin D/day.

Vitamin D is a large component of the reason that some viruses are seasonal.

(I'm not a physician, don't go by my suggestions. Read and make your own decisions.)

How hard is it to treat a patient with this, take a count of how much COVID is in their blood before treatment, then measure the virus count in their blood on an hourly or daily basis. If it works, the count should go down precipitously.

I know it isn’t apples to apples across the board, but do this ten times for ten patients and I’d think you’d start to model a trend. A thousand times, you have solid stats.

There is absolutely no excuse why we are months into this thing and this treatment is still seen as “anecdotal.” If it works as well as some docs are claiming, we could all get back to work tomorrow. If you have a sniffle, take the drug to short-circuit it. If don’t get sick, you’re back in the game of life.

The key part of this article is important to understand.

It is ZINC that is stopping the virus - NOT Hydroxychloroquine.

Hydroxychloroquine just happens to be a VERY good zinc ionophore ("gateway into cells that allows zinc transfer").

Without zinc - doctors are just relying on the patients existing level of zinc, which oftentimes is deficient.

The zinc sulphate is the true killer of COVID-19.

RE-OPEN THE COUNTRY
USE the HCQ

The Zelenko Protocol:

Dr Zelenko has perfected a therapy in the United States which has three components proven to work, every time, if administered before the lungs fill with mucus.

What is being used is a combination of drugs , not just Hydroxy-chloroquin, which shows that the Democrats and Big Pharm do not want what is working should be understood by the People.They rail against a single part of the therapy without revealing the rest of it because IT WORKS.But it has to be administered before the lungs fill with mucus.

But what President Trump’s agent, Rudy Giuliani has done is created a populist end run around the CDC ( Fauci) and the FDA. This to save lives.( See video link below)

If you are a Trump supporter you know what to do. Contact your physician and ask whether this therapy can be available if you need it. If not shop around. And if you find a Jewish doctor, you’re in like Flynn.The therapy cost of the drugs is $20.00, so it won’t break you.

Its really up to you.

President Trump has arranged for millions of dosages to come into our country from Israel’s Teva Corporation....Free. Availability will be no problem.

Secondly there is a pretty sure possibility that hydroxy-chloroquine acts as an prophylaxis, taking 1 x 200 mg HCQ per day along with a 200 mg Zinc supplement.Almost all of the front line doctors in NYC are doing this, so why not everybody. We soon will have enough HCQ to do that.

EXCELLENT NEWS: Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Effective on 699 Patients

Must see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TJdjhd_XG8&t=586s

*****************************

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko

Board Certified Family Practitioner

501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950

845-238-0000

March 23, 2020

To all medical professionals around the world:

My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.

As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).

Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:

1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.

2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.

3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).

My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:

1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days

2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days

3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days

The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.

Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.

Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.

In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.

With much respect,

Dr. Zev Zelenko

It is off patent. Any pharmaceutical lab can make it. That’s why the FDA opposes it. There’s no money it it.

Drs can practice across state lines now, IIRC. Dr. Zev Zelenko could try telemedicine.

When these “unproven drugs” are used widely and successfully, saving many lives, the media will still be demonizing Trump for permitting their use because they are “unproven” - have not gone through the FDA’s years long hoops and trials. The Democrats will surely cry for IMPEACHMENT of DJT for allowing these “unproven” drugs to keep a lot of people alive who would otherwise be dead and their lives are already regarded as illicit because they are due to an “unproven drug.” That is bureaucracy at its Kafka extreme.

How about the word, UNPROVEN? I see the word being use in many MSM article titles when the word, Hydroxychloroquine is mentioned.

The doctor’s warning about running out of HCQ and zinc is wrong. There are millions of dosages of HCQ available and only half a million with the virus. What needs to be done immediately before more Americans get infected and lung damaged is to administer the treatment protocol to all infected Americans and administer maintenance doses to everyone else. Then we can all go back to work and rebuild America and make the country great again. It’s a no brainer. Let’s get on with it!
