The Big Gamble: Hydroxychloroquine

Wha...? It's almost like the WHO is more interested in playing politics than giving a flying crap about providing actual medical advice.

If the WHO cared about health and welfare, they might be using the actual "science" to develop a preventative program. 

 

The following 2 articles provide a better understanding of the importance of zinc in stopping the virus.

ZINC

In simple terms, zinc is the active ingredient that prevents a virus from replicating inside human cells.  Without being able to multiply, the natural immune system is thus able to effective combat and eliminate the virus.

However, to be effective, zinc must enter a cell. As a metallic ion, zinc on its own cannot pass through the cell membrane. The zinc ion needs an “ionophore” to transport it across the lipid membrane in a cell.

 

IONOPHORE

Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine serve as the “ionophore” to transport zinc across the cell membrane.  

 

Any “study” that does not include zinc is leaving out the linchpin of the treatment, with the results being worthless.

 

 

 

OTHER IONOPHOREs

To further highlight the absurdity of the lack of coverage of this treatment, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are not the only possible ionophores that zinc can use.

 

Certain polyphenols in plants behave as ionophores, but carry a lesser amount of zinc than the above. Quercetin and EGCG act as zinc ionophore for coronavirus

 

Quercetin can be found in garlic, turmeric, kale, beans, tea, spinach, broccoli, olive leaves and fruit, grapefruit, bergamot, sour orange, tart cherries, tomatoes, cocoa, parsley, onions, celery, thyme, green peppers, chamomile and many more plants.

 

EGCG is found in green tea.

 

CONSEQUENCES

Hard to imagine that a preventative recurring treatment sourced by vegetables and over the counter supplements that could eliminate COVID-19 has gotten zero coverage. The risks are essentially non-existent as all of the ingredients are readily available. Better to be locked up at home behind masks.

“Hydroxychloroquine did not prevent healthy people exposed to covid-19 from getting the disease caused by the coronavirus.”

 

Hydroxychloroquine, a drug promoted by Trump, failed to prevent healthy people from getting covid-19 in trial

Never take HCQ comrade. It will kill you.

Not hard.  Just like HCQ, there's no money to be made from it.

Sooo ...  why not recommend zinc and broccoli instead of zinc and HCQ.  Broccoli might cause indigestion, but it’s no threat to create an arrhythmia, right?

You want half of America to stop eating broccoli?

Wouldn't they have to start eating broccoli in order to stop eating it?

What is the best zinc supplement and best natural ionophore to combine.  Asking for a friend.

 

Good question. 

 

But seriously, can you imagine the reaction from the left/MSM if Trump said "we have to fight this by eating broccoli"?

I would pay money to see that.

Just because they don't like eating food does NOT ensure they like broccoli.  (Though the virtue signaling implies it.)

Sounds like there were a couple of botched studies. Have they tried it with zinc?

 

Most importantly, does it work yet??

It doesn't bother you that there was a coordinated effort to derail trials and introduce doubts into a potential lifesaving treatment?

Isn't this the report that the media has been hyperventilating about?

 

 

 

And then this

 

 

Hard to believe that a respected medical publication would ruin their reputation just to make Trump look bad.  What makes people want to hurt others to get a shot in at Trump?

Trump is in the way of their agenda. That is why.

Well, they retracted today, sooooo...

We need the Big Broccoli lobby to get on that stat.

Ask Amy.  She says yes.  She might be Vice President, and maybe President one day.

TDS is a crippling condition if left unchecked. 

 

And the Trump curse is very real. They should have known.

...so mea culpas are forthcoming (COUGH)??…………..

 

Network newscasts skip major hydroxychloroquine report retractions, org says

By Brian Flood | Fox News

 

Evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored experts raising “serious scientific questions” about the data used for controversial research into the effectiveness of potential COVID-19 drug hydroxychloroquine, according to the conservative media watchdog group NewsBusters.

 

“All three [networks] had used the study to chide President Trump for pushing the drug and taking it himself,” NewsBuster analyst Nicholas Fondacaro, who studied the coverage, wrote.

A database by the Chicago company Surgisphere Corp. was used in an observational study of nearly 100,000 patients published on May 22 in the influential Lancet journal that tied the malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to a higher risk of death in hospitalized patients with the virus.

The validity of the data, however, has been called into question. The Lancet first published an “expression of concern” with the study after “serious scientific questions” were brought to its attention. It then retracted the report altogether on Thursday.

A separate paper, which also used the Surgisphere data, was also retracted from The New England Journal of Medicine. Earlier this week the NEJM issued an “expression of concern” regarding the study published May 1 that suggested widely used blood pressure medicines were not raising the risk of death for people with COVID-19.

Interesting.  You'd think that allegedly unbiased news organizations like the ones above would seek to correct the incorrect "news" they gleefully peddled.
