They sound more like Lord of the Rings names to me than Game of Thrones. Good one though.

Doctors can now use the malaria drugs Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) and Aralen (chloroquine) to treat coronavirus. Here’s what eye patients should know.
What are hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine?
These oral medicines, taken as pills, have been used for decades to treat malaria. Hydroxychloroquine is also prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune disorders. The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved these drugs for the emergency treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Some of us never watched "Game of Thrones" and don't know
Plaquenil and Aralen are. Are they the wolfs or the lizards?
LOL! Nice to see you have a sense of humor too!
i saw an interview with a doctor who said it doesn’t work against corona unless you take zinc at the same time. Also together they give azithromycin (z-pak), or something else if allergic
For side effect i have also heard about irregular heartbeat.
Some doc taking low dose 1/week to prevent
the left are complaining that HCQ is scarce (even though we have way more than 30 million doses, with 10’s of millions ore coming from other countries)- but my goodness- the drug is very cheap, which tells me the ingredients are not scarce at all- so what’s keeping manufacturers from created 100’s of millions of doses to meet demand for both sick and healthy who think they have it, or those working in medical fields?
I would think that If ingredients were scarce, or hard to produce, or mix, or whatever- the price would likely be expensive and there would not be much-
Is there a shortage on the ingredients now or something?
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.

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner
501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950

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

> the left are complaining that HCQ is scarce
They switched to that right after they were saying it was dangerous, untested, false hope and bad science.
[[For side effect i have also heard about irregular heartbeat.]]
Docs that treat lupus people for decades have said the risk for that is so incredibly low, that they don’t even consider it when prescribing it despite it being suggested- it’s just a suggestion to test for heart issues to determine if it should be given or not- but again the docs said risk was so low, they don’t bother- They were on fox the other night discussing this very thing- They both said it’s so safe they have never had any issues with it except perhaps mild cramps or nausea- They were not concerned about giving it to people with heart issues-
I think it will be discovered that some cohorts of patients given HCQ will have had higher natural zinc levels than others.
Any study not including zinc is intended to fail.
what about this?
They sure don’t want you to know about it.
I am posting it because you should.

...Docs that treat lupus people for decades have said the risk for that is so incredibly low
But most MDs would at least screen for prolonged QT syndrome (routine EKG)
same is true for a wide array of anti-psychotic agents that do the same thing.
I would think some investigative reporter would be running at this to find out what is the hold up period.
As of yesterday, NOBODY taking these drugs for Lupis have come down with Coronavirus. ZERO
They are not prescribed with zinc, so I think it is using the bodies natural stores of zinc and using that. I would take low level zinc if I had Lupis and were taking this drug because of that.
Just an interesting statistic I ran across in yesterdays reading.
yeah but like the docs said, they have never run into issues because the drug is so safe- and those folks are o the drugs long term- they treated both lupus, and arthritis folks, maybe some other conditions too perhaps- but they mentioned those two specifically- They said the fear of heart issues is practically non existent- basically, and told hte audience that basically there is no valid reason to oppose the medication- no valid concern for heart issue folks- really-
MUST INCLUDE ZINC!
ZINC, ZINC, ZINC!
ZINC is the cure Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is the vehicle and Azithromycin or Doxycycline to fight secondary infection.
NOT, I REPEAT, NOT Aralen (chloroquine)!!!
Chloroquine is the one associated with the heart issues.
HYDROXYchloroquine
MUST WATCH VIDEO!
Dr. Zelenko update! Inspiring! Watch the WHOLE THING! Full of nuggets spread throughout. Also Dr. Karladine Graves with additional info and perspective.
Hydroxychloroquine is a cheap generic drug. No drug company is going to make a ton of money off it and there will not be any lucrative advertisement budgets for the various media outlets.
Is it the least bit surprising that the media is in full force denigration of this cheap and apparently safe and effective drug when used with zinc and a broad spectrum antibiotic?
I’ve worked for 33+ years(neurology), and have seen 1 death from unrecognized prolonged QT syndrome, it is enough to never let me forget the possibility, not afraid, but vigilant. Being in medicine requires a strange combination of fearless caution.
I know- We’re not being given crucial info on anything- even on how many seriously ill people recover with HCQ, or even those that show no improvement with HCQ, no stats at all really, just anecdotal evidences- there should be enough stats on hand to start forming well informed decisions- and I think President Trump should be all over this asking for stats, asking for records, asking for estimates on how much we really have, and finding out why we aren’t mass producing it right now- put it all out in public so that the left wing media can’t ignore the very likely positive results any longer-
The US needs to be made aware of how effective the drug combos are so that the msm can’t legitimately poo all over the drug any longer- it’s just sick what they are doing- The Trump admin can put together a very effective campaign promoting the immediate usage of the drug everywhere- so that people can get back to work safely- and we can be done with this virus before having to wait a year and a 1/2 for vaccine
If I were manufacturing pharmaceuticals and this was not a drug I normally produced, I would want to know that I was going to be able to sell the product before starting to produce it. If it truly is scarce, that can be easily remedied, but nobody is going to stop producing something that has a sure market to make something else that they would be stuck with if the government won’t allow it to be used.
OK it for use and somebody will start making a lot of it.
