Zinc vs Covid-19

  1. It surprises me that you think they collectively overlooked something important.

    Nothing surprises me about you anymore. :(

    Look, those videos about Zinc are 6 weeks old. So during that much time we should have an answer.

    There is actually. Since HCQ usage is still experimental, they might not be able/allowed to use it on fairly healthy patients. But once the patient is on a vent, nothing is off limits and they can try just about anything.

    So in short, maybe the legal restrictions cause them not to come to the correct conclusion.

    P.S.: Since statin usage I am not incredibly trusting the medical establishment. They can't even agree on such a simple questions if eggs are good for us or not.

  3. Perhaps you should partner up with a personal injury lawyer, and sue all these experts for negligence and medical malpractice. Class action, baby! You can be the expert witness for the plaintiff. If there's a question of conflict of interest, then you can present the jury with some well-chosen YouTube videos.

    Time to put your money where your mouth is.

    You are still an idiot. I can't sue in others' name. 2 weeks more quarantine for you in my Ignore club! :)

  5. Couldn't I just take some zinc instead?

    I said partner up with a personal injury lawyer. Help finance the class action of those you believe were inadequately cared for. Help get them onboard with some persuasive YouTube videos.

    All hat and no cattle, eh?

    He’s just stating fact and yes his data is limited to critical ICU patients, where the life expectancy is very diminished. When you take his statement in the context of the video, he’s more concerned about the virus’ attack on ace2 specially inside the blood vessels causing coagulation.

    There’s an obvious concerted effort atm to squash any comments on beneficial HCQ studies. I have my reasons for this belief, we’ll know here in a few weeks when the prophylaxis studies publish their initial findings, if they’re released.

    Zinc is known to inhibit viral replication. Getting it inside the cell where it can do it’s job is the key and the problem.

    HCQ, a malaria drug is know for it’s ability to penetrate the cell membrane. It’s also a zinc ionophore, carrying zinc with it inside the cell.

    HQC, is thought to work in two levels, one Zinc transportation and immune system regulation, hence why it is effective in lupus patients and thought to be beneficial for stopping cytokine storms.

    There’s very good science behind the reasoning, at first everyone said lets wait for the data - obviously once the virus has done considerable damage to the body, HQC benefits are limited.

    Let’s see the data on those exposed, and treatment for mild to moderate cases.

  8. This may have been mentioned or covered in one of the videos but it is interesting that one of the first symptoms of covid is a loss of taste and smell for many people.

    Yeh, well. Guess what one of the first symptoms of zinc deficiency is?

    I am not suggesting that covid victims are zinc deficient. Only that the zinc ions are clearly trying to plug and play metabolically in areas/receptors where the covid virus is competing. So you may have adequate zinc levels at the serum level but it does not reach/penedtrate the cellular level so you start becoming zinc deficient at the level where it matters.
