Most of my recent posts concerning the virus are in the zinc thread, but maybe worth to repeat here some of the info: Looks like based on 2 doctors' results (LA and upstate NY) HCQ and Zinc together are actually a treatment that has been working on patients, but they have to start at a fairly early state. In short, once you are on the ventilator, it probably won't bring you back. But patients who got this combo when they were showing symptoms recovered very quickly. Now quickly an explanation why this combo works (there are videos in the Zinc thread). Zinc itself can not enter the cells. But if it is taken with an ionophore, it is able to cross through the membrane and block the virus from multiplying inside the cell. What is an ionophore you might ask? It is a substance which is able to transport particular ions across a lipid membrane in a cell. Since HCQ and HQ are hard to get nowadays, (and you shouldn't on your own) let's see what other ionophores we can find. Not to mention they have possibly strong and unpleasant side effects. But Quercetin is also an ionophore and can be ordered from Amazon. Couple of things to know about it: -it is a flavonoid and available in fruits and other average food -it doesn't absorb well, so Bromelaine is used to help absorption. This is the one to order. -since it is a supplement, it has very few side effects, but one is a mild head ache -it is fairly cheap, $25-35 a bottle -even itself without Zinc can also have a positive effect on viruses If you have followed the Zinc thread you know Wallet and I were 3 weeks ahead of the US government touting Zinc's possibilities. Finally yesterday Trump also got on the Zinc wagon. I am going to predict here that the Quercetin + Zinc combo is going to be the poor man's treatment for the virus, without a doctor's help or hospitalization. (Dosage vary because of lack of research. )We shall see...
Somebody asked me about prevention, and since the official word is social distancing, mask and washing your hands, let's see what else one can do. Warning: This is strictly broscience and not even a lawyer practicing at the Holiday Inn is going to save me, so do your due diligence. I think O3, H2O2 and Iodine are all good at killing the virus thus can be used as preventive measures. Iodine was already mentioned earlier, one can take it internally in drops. With H2O2 one can gargle let's say after a trip to the store. My assumption here is that if you breathed in some virus particles it may kill it. Ozone can be used if your living or working place was visited by a possible infected person and you don't want to burn the whole place down. If you run an Ozone machine for 30 minutes or so, that should take care of any living organism, including your pets. (remove pets and plants from the room before treatment) Ozone doesn't kill that fast, but not good for pets or you. Once ozonated, let the room air out. Ozone have a fairly short half life, I think it is around 30 minutes. It is also greatly effected by gravity so put the machine in a higher elevation when used. Ozone also can be used to disinfect mail, packages or freshly bought stuff from the store. If you have a smaller room, put the package and bags in there and run the machine for 20-30 minutes. If I find something else I will update this thread....
An update on the most effective and available ionophore front. EGCG, another ionophore found in green tea, is twice as good at pushing Zinc through the cell membrane than Quercetin. So for that purpose it is better to use. Quercetin still stays on the list though because it has 2 different ways to block the virus. So the current best combo for treatment is: (as shown by Dr. Saguil)
The importance of vitamin D: https://scitechdaily.com/vitamin-d-...researchers-urge-government-to-change-advice/ "and encourage all adults to take supplements during the COVID-19 crisis. Deficiency is frequent in Ireland. Deficiency is most prevalent with age, obesity, in men, in ethnic minorities, in people with diabetes, hypertension and in nursing homes.”
Now that many have been quarantine at home... I would add to the list of Vitamin D especially for those not able to be outside for a few hours per day. Regular stretching with light exercise after meal times plus relaxing (calm music) / yoga prior to bedtime. None of this is a "treatment" for the virus but it helps to offset other problems that may arise from the change of routine to isolation especially for those that have never experience such. I myself have been "quarantine" twice in my life (about a month each) from deadlier illnesses prior to the Covid-19 and I had a routine of extreme winter camping/hiking either by myself or with a friend. Thus, the Covid-19 quarantine stuff is really nothing to me but I easily see its impact on others I care about that have never experience anything remotely close to it and I see many others revealing weaknesses / strengths they didn't realize they had. wrbtrader
Trump is taking HCQ and Zinc, since they have found virus positive people in the WH. The dumbass actually got it right, it should work as prevention/early stage treatment.
