Wow — a lot to cover in this video update.
First: high fives all around for fans of quality science! Our months’ long position that both hydroxycholorquine+azithromycin+zinc and ivermectin showed strong promise as cheap, effective treatments vs covid-19 now appears to be proven correct.
Of course, up until this point, the media has parroted “junk science” talking points designed to malign and vilify these treatment candidates, very likely on behalf of Big Pharma who can’t reap $billions off of them. And in the meantime, millions of sick patients worldwide have likely been denied these drugs as a result.
How many people have died/suffered as a result?
Other big developments to note: covid-19 appears to have mutated into a more contagious strain, more evidence is mounting that the virus spreads in an airborne manner, and it seems herd immunity without a vaccine may be harder to achieve than previously anticipated.
All this leads us to maintain our expectation that the world has a long way to go yet before the pandemic is anywhere near “under control”.

Facebook appeal to HCQ / Zn / Azith Tx early
Circulated on facebook. (Unfortunately, it came via the EM Doctors group with a tone of "how dare this quack write this kind of trash, we must stop him....." 🙁
--------
My name is Brian C. Procter MD and I am a Board-Certified Family Physician in McKinney, Texas. I am a colleague of Dr. Ivette Lozano that was interviewed a few weeks ago. [posted here on PP by OliveOilGuy and Jim H]
I respectfully suggest that there is a much bigger issue/story here. Most commentators are discussing inpatient treatment only. If patients are admitted to the ICU then their chances of survival are dismal. But what happens when we treat patients 3-6 weeks earlier, when they first develop symptoms? I have been treating COVID-19 patients in the outpatient trenches for over 2 months now just like Dr. Lozano. I like her, I am using Hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, losartan, aspirin, and zinc (all for less than $50 at my local pharmacy). We have identified, diagnosed, and successfully treated these patients at a relatively early point in the course of the disease.
It is these statistics that are amazing. I have treated over 50 patients without a single death, ventilator, or hospitalization. Dr. Lozano has treated twice that many with the same success. I even treated one patient that was discharged from a hospital the day before who was treated with IV fluids only for 4 days and released, still feeling terrible! We are two community docs using EARLY AGGRESSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT to handle the disease with a 100% success rate (ZERO Admissions, ZERO).
Therefore, If we can treat patients EARLY for $50, we seem to be successful at preventing hospitalizations, ICUs, and death as well as saving tens of thousands of healthcare dollars per sick patient. My local ICU doctors have pleaded with me to keep doing what I am doing. The answer seems to be EARLY AGGRESSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT and NOT contact tracing (which is communism and ! cannot even get the Public Health Dept on the phone), quarantine (which destroys millions of lives), wearing masks (which is ridiculous as a long term solution w/o proven data), a vaccine (by the time we get it, likely won't need it), social distancing (which won't sustain or GDP with 25% occupancy), testing (ALL tests have a high false negative rates, or watchful waiting (a tactic that has needlessly resulted in 100,000 deaths).
We could also place all Nursing home patients on HCQ prophylaxis for 180 days on a voluntary basis of course. This could theoretically prevent thousands of needless hospitalizations and deaths.
In conclusion, if we treat COVID-19 just like anything else we treat (ie, the flu, pneumonia, a sinus infection, hypertension, and diabetes) early and aggressively with a regimen that costs $50 out of pocket or less with 100% success (which is a far better stat than treating all those other conditions), then why is the country shut down and doing social distancing? This political sham must stop.
The American people deserve to know they can go to their regular doctor and get treated early with a regimen that is completely safe and extremely effective, and they do not need to worry about ending up in the hospital and dying. The public is UNAWARE of this, please educate them with the truth. The country needs to return to normal NOW.
This is the REAL story. Please feel free to contact me with questions. My heart goes out to all those who have needlessly suffered and continue to suffer during this sham crisis and a disease that is extremely treatable if treated EARLY!!!

HCQ Hit Job from NPR - Morning Edition 7/8/2020
I took a friend to an appointment this morning. While waiting in the parking lot, I tuned the radio to NPR. I used to listen quite a bit to NPR while commuting. I hardly ever listen to it anymore now that I'm retired.
"Morning Edition" was on when I tuned in. As per usual, they said which topics would be discussed during the next half hour at the top of the hour. One of the subjects concerned the coronavirus crisis. That piqued my interest. I thought to myself, "let's see how they present this."
https://partners.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/07/07/884957449/the-pandemic-is-pushing-scientists-to-rethink-how-they-read-research-papers
It was presented by Brian Harris. He started talking about science and how the facts should dominate the conversation. It shouldn't matter if a publisher is well known or not as long as the facts support their conclusion. (So far, so good!) Then, there was a minute or so about discussing prominent VS unknown publishers and how we tend to trust prominent individuals. (Why was this included ???) Then, the segue about a paper that came out of China in early May ...
Jonathan kimmelman, a professor of biomedical ethics at McGill University was quoted -
I was so angry after hearing this bullshit that I could have eaten nails. They took one little HCQ study that had some identifiable integrity issues and painted all the HCQ treatment studies with the same broad brush. The only conclusion that one of their "thinking" listeners could draw was that HCQ is a worthless treatment option.
Now that the "cognizant" have been informed, they "know" that there is nothing to be gained by considering HCQ as a treatment option. Why? Because they heard it on NPR.
This is what we're up against.

Covid-19 news from Singapore
(A)
"Within a few hours of each other last week, two of the world's most prestigious medical journals - the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and The Lancet - each retracted an article about treatment of patients with Covid-19.
The Lancet publication had suggested that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) increased the risk of death in coronavirus patients.
Since the findings of both studies could not be substantiated by the authors, the papers were retracted.
But much damage had already been done."

His own comments are very negative about the drug.
Remdesivir does not heal - worse it causes kidney insufficiencies: on 5 patients treated by this medication at Bachat Hospital Paris, two were put on dialysis.
When do we get the Discovery results?

Perhaps even more "parlant" speaking - visual - is when you touch the réanimation function (ICU) and you see the 0% on most of the rest of the country.

Not a slam-dunk
I was curious how you'd report on that HCQ study, but I must say that I'm disappointed. You previously said that you were only after the truth, that you took no position on HCQ, yet words like "Vindication!" and your eagerness to accept this result suggest otherwise.
Lack of zinc has been blamed for negative results in other studies, so how come the results here are believable? (If a study can't work without zinc, then logically this one shouldn't have worked.) In fact, the non-randomization provides a few alternative explanations for the results, explanations that you chose to gloss over. For example, the patients receiving HCQ tended to be younger than those who weren't, and they were the patients who lacked any conditions that would have made HCQ dangerous, e.g., heart conditions, so it's not so surprising that that group fared better. (Additional limitations are discussed here.) The authors themselves point all this out and conclude:
"However, our results should be interpreted with some caution and should not be applied to patients treated outside of hospital settings. Our results also require further confirmation in prospective, randomized controlled trials that rigorously evaluate the safety, and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine therapy for COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.
Now, I have no intention of criticizing the study. It seems like good science, and it adds a data point. It's just not the conclusive evidence that HCQ proponents are making it out to be.

Critique of the critique
Welcome to PP. Good to see you have created an account today.
The critique of the HCQ critic is “disappointing” as it goes after Chris M’s integrity in a an unwarranted manner. The your criticism of the study is valid, Chris clearly spelled out the study’s limitations during his podcast albeit a little less in-depth as podcast time is limited. He also stated he wanted better studies on HCQ meaning the jury is still out & there needs to be much more evidence before conclusions can be drawn. He ran out of time and didn’t even speak about Ivermectin.
Btw, the study’s authors had to put that nice phrase at the end of their article warning HCQ should not be given outside the hospital setting. The FDA has been threatening to take away medical licenses from physicians who prescribe HCQ outside the hospital even though HCQ has been widely prescribed around the world to millions of patients for 70+ years. Curiously, the FDA has not put out blanket warnings on other pharmaceuticals before. All sorts of medications are prescribed off-label all the time, and many have even more severe potential side effects. Just 2-3 years ago the WHO (presumably not corrupt then) put out a statement saying how safe HCQ is and that they had no evidence not to prescribe it for malaria prophylaxis, etc. And, lawyers like doctors writing warnings on things.
There have been a lot of terrible studies reportedly showing how dangerous the potential side effect of cardiac arrhythmias in patients taking HCQ. Nearly all of these so-called studies have have been disproven. Certainly, pre-existing conditions such as cardiac disease raise one’s risk, but the main risk of giving HCQ is in people with advanced symptoms from CV-19. CV-19 infection directly affects the heart in some, and in others becomes extra irritable from the overall deterioration of patients conditions. There is no data I’m aware of supporting the so-called dangerous risks if giving HCQ early in CV-19 infection.
Thanks for the link the study critique.

To critics
Vindication is not all about this one study.. it's just a final nail in the coffin of HCQ-negative propaganda that we needed to make the case more forcefully. I am very glad Chris has taken a strong stand in this way since lives are literally at stake.
I was at a July 4th backyard BBQ with a few people and we were discussing Covid-19. When I mentioned hydroxychloroquine one of the buddies of the host chimed in that his brother-in-law in CA had been saved by it. He said that his brother-in-law was not doing well and was updating his will when he got the medications... and his health turned around very rapidly afterward. Yes, of course, anecdotal in isolation, but I think this shows that we are starting to turn the corner in the information war, in a seven degrees of Kevin Bacon way.
But we have seen this story of healing repeat hundreds and hundreds of times, across many, many doctors reporting through various channels; clinical data studies by Raoult and Zelenko, Youtube video presentations by the likes of Noel Williams, MD, and personal testimonials like that of Michigan representative Karen Whitsett, who earned the scorn of her political party for thanking Donald Trump for increasing awareness of the drugs benefit.
For the bigger picture, here is a website that accumulates a living macro-study of studies. For whatever reason doctors around the world continue to prove, over and over again, that HCQ does not work well as a late-stage disease treatment. As prophylaxis and early stage treatment, it works, in the words of Dr. Noel Williams, "phenomenally well".

On the subject of Zinc... we know that it's important to supplement, but always remember that no added Zinc does not mean zero Zinc. There will be a variable background of dietary Zinc in all cases.

The War on Hydroxychloroquine
When a patient infected with the Corvid19 virus is admitted to an American hospital they have a 33% chance of being placed in an induced coma and intubated. Once that treatment is initiated the probability of death is +- 80%.
The federal guidelines for compensation to the hospital are $35,000 for every patient that is intubated. If the patient is not placed upon a ventilator the hospital receives only $13,000. Follow the Money. The American profit maximization medical system at work.
By the way, if the same patient presents with the same symptoms at a hospital in Cuba their treatment will be free and their chances of survival will be many times higher than if they are treated in the US.
Cuba: 86 total deaths. New York City (2/3 Cuba's population) --17,000+ deaths.
Income comparison: (2017 statistics)
NYC: $70,879 per capita
Cuba: $8,541
# of doctors per 10,00 population:
Cuba: 67.2
US: 26

Singapore study
Thansk for sharing this encouraging post.Glad this research institution is looking into it.
But they are testing HCQ alone. Another leg has Zn/Vit C, interesting. No leg with HCQ and Zn. Disappointing, as this is a prophylaxis trial, misses a synergistic effect and Zinc nutritional status may be a confounding factor.
Being a double-positively charged ion, Zinc would benefit by co-administration of an ionophore to carry it across the cell membrane.
I am beginning to suspect HCQ may act by more than one mechanism. 1) changing the pH of internal organelles, perhaps interfering with viral assembly; 2) reducing blood clotting, which may be a significant factor late in the disease progression; 3) Zn ionophore, must helpful early to prevent viral expansion, as Zn interferes with replication. Just a hypothesis on my part.

Post number 54.
Be advised that the researcher cited is Dr. Ralph S Baric, not Robert, it was my mistake. I have corrected the original post but sadly did not anticipate it would make it to a video, should have checked the name before posting. My apologies.
Dr. Baric is at the University of North Carolina and his colleague in GOF research at Wuhan institute of Technology is Dr. Shi. I believe in China the surname name is first, so you may see her surname first or last depending on the source - Shi Zhengli is according to Chinese custom, I believe.

Recovery is defined as: leaving the hospital in 11 days instead of 15 days, on average. Among survivors, as difference in mortality did not reach significance.
Lots of reasons people get discharged from hospital early, especially in a multi-center environment. Just saying.

There's no doubt HCQ inhibits the virus through multiple pathways
Here is how Dr. Shiva A., MIT Biological Engineering PhD and developer of CytoSolve depicted it in early May;
We knew from the earliest in-vitro studies of infected cells that HCQ (along with Remdesivir) inhibited viral replication.. what was really cool I thought was the later data that came out showing that there was also dose-dependent inhibition of cellular entry via ACE2, which of course is a completely separate and complimentary mode of action. HCQ is in a sense a single molecule, "cocktail".

Reply to JoshuaGreen re the critique of Henry Ford Hospital Study
Welcome to the forum. I see you joined today.
The editorial critique of the HRH study on HCQ that you cite was written by several co-authors on a study of HCQ prophylaxis published in NEJM. That study on post-exposure prophylaxis concluded that HCQ made no difference to incidence of COVID cases in those who believe they were exposed. It was hailed in the media as the best controlled study on HCQ.
That particular study had several limitations, reviewed by Dr. Martenson on this site. One of these is that the COVID cases were largely self-diagnosed and diagnostic criteria were quite broad (e.g. having a cough, period.) Testing was not widely available at the time, so <3% had a laboratory confirmed diagnosis. They did what they could under the circumstances. It is not the definitive study it was made out to be.
You can read the study yourself or watch Dr. Martenson's video on the subject. Dr. Martenson has done yeoman's service in following and analyzing the evidence as it becomes available. I frankly don't know how he does it, it is an enormous effort to review these things and put together these videos almost in real time.
Now as to the critique that you site, it was posted by other community members. Having read it, I went back to the HFH study article to address what I see as the major limitation they point out - the difference in use of steroids in the treatment groups.
I cited from their Methods section what I perceive was done by HFH investigators to address the limitations. If anyone in this community has the statistical expertise to evaluate it in detail, perhaps you can educate us on whether the methods used were adequate. The authors of the critique do not mention what was done to address confounding factors and should have.
My detailed comments on the the critique you cite can be found here, post #8:
https://www.peakprosperity.com/forum-topic/re-covid-19-vindication-hcq-ivermectin-work/
I think you misunderstand the role of Zinc in combination with HCQ. The claim is not that HCQ "won't work without Zinc". HCQ may have more than one mechanism of action. I can think of at least three, as noted in another post. Late in the disease, for example, it may help relieve some of the clotting disorder associated with COVID. This is a hypothesis on my part, based on anti-thrombotic effects in people with lupus
https://www.lupus.org/resources/antiphospholipid-syndrome-evaluating-current-treatment-options
On the other hand, if administered with Zinc early in the course of the disease, it may facilitate Zn 2+ entry into the cell by acting as an ionophore. Once in the cell, Zinc ions may interfere with virus replication, helping to halt the exponential expansion of virus.

clarifying my thoughts
Thanks for the welcome and responses. (And true, I never felt like leaving a comment before, hence I had no reason to create an account. Feel free to infer what you'd like from that.)
I haven't watched all of Chris's videos, but I've seen him dissect other studies in gory detail, listing all of their claims and flaws. (For example, see the video where he covered the study "A Randomized Trial of Hydroxychloroquine as Postexposure Prophylaxis for Covid-19," a randomized study that didn't find an effect.) He didn't seem to do that here, as far as I could tell. Instead, he described the study, noted that it was non-randomized and that he wanted better studies with zinc, and ... that seemed to be about it. I didn't catch any mention of the specific objections that have been leveled (or described by the authors), and I had really hoped to learn what he thought of them. That's what I found disappointing -- not Chris in general, just in the way he handled this study in comparison to some others. Perhaps he just ran out of time, but leaving out that particular information while moving on to other topics -- implying that he had presented everything he wanted with regard to the study -- seemed, to me, a bit conspicuous.
With regard to "vindication," though it might have weaker connotations, I would generally use it to mean "See, I've been saying this the whole time, and you didn't believe me, but now this proves I was correct." If Chris has been arguing this whole time that HCQ is an effective treatment then I'll partially retract that particular remark as "Vindicated!" would kind of fit, though the flaws in the study would have to be acknowledged. However, that seems inconsistent with the position that he honestly doesn't know whether or not HCQ works, that the studies done so far haven't been ideal, and that he simply wants better studies to reveal the truth.
Personally, I agree that the evidence of HCQ danger is unconvincing. If a doctor agrees to prescribe it knowing the patient, then I doubt it will make things worse. (On the other hand, it shouldn't be blindly prescribed to everyone. I suspect the potential demand for that is what forced the FDA to put out such a warning.) Evidence of efficacy is still underwhelming (though more convincing than the evidence of danger), and the above suggests that trials should continue -- it should be safe -- and that people should be allowed to use it outside of trials if they want to and their doctor(s) approve.
Also, my comment about zinc was admittedly somewhat snarky, but I stand by my point. For a long time studies without zinc have been simply dismissed -- of course they didn't show results! I don't see why we shouldn't say the same thing here -- of course this shouldn't have shown results, so the apparent results must be caused by something other than HCQ. I don't really subscribe to that strawman, but it's already been used to ignore other research so we should at least be consistent.

Question for Dr. Procter
My wife has an extremely rare neuromuscular disease similar to ALS/MS. I've been following this whole controversy from the start, so don't need basic data. I'm asking what protocol would be appropriate for her if she becomes infected. Not asking for medical advice, not interested in a lawsuit! Just some decent facts in this age of Luciferian/Deep State/WROL era.
Thanks so much!

Island Girl reply to J Green
Mostly in these studies there is no mention of Zinc. It is well known that Zinc is the bullet and HCQ the gun. (thank you Dr. Zelenko) There is no mention in any study I have seen of micronutrient testing. There is no addition of zinc but that does not rule out the possibility that people have sufficient therapeutic levels already, even though many are zinc deficient.
There is lots of lab work done but we just don't know the extent. It is good to realize in hospitals dealing with SC2 it is pretty much asses and elbows. Dr.'s are flying by the seat of their pants in most situations.
As Chris and others have said many times, we need a randomized , double blind study with HCQ +n Zinc administered early. Currently the standard of care is as follows.
1- have symptoms go to doctor get tested wait 24 hours
2- if it is positive go home and wait till it gets worse.
3 - it gets worse go to hospital.
4- receive palliative care
5- if you end up on oxygen you might get remdesivir
6- you might get steroids
7- if none of that works ICU.
8- intubated with a 90% chance of dying.
Or Alternative treatment
1- Have symptoms, go to doctor, get tested. Get ECG to find out what your QTc interval is
2- go home and start HCQ+zinc with zpack optional
You should know ahead of time what the contraindications are for the latter treatment. . If you QTc interval is 500 or above do not take HCQ. If it is 460-500 take it while being monitored. If it is below 460 stay home watch movies for 5 days.
In a country where you have certain inalienable right like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness option 2 is a no brainer. If you are in the US you are out of luck. Costa Rica? No problemo

mmckay
mmckay,
First, I absolutely would not seek any specific medical advice on the internet regarding your wife. Second, I would arrange a telephone conference with her primary neurologist to discuss the potential eventuality that your wife does become infected. Have a plan clearly in place well ahead of time. If she ever developed any symptoms, then an immediate call to the neurologist should be in order. Without knowing the specifics about your wife My suspicion is that she would stratify out into the high risk category, but have no way of knowing for sure not being part of her medical team.
Again, do not seek specific medical advice on the internet. I would think all of the prophylactic over the counter medicines discussed on this site should be ok such as vitamin C, zinc, etc., but there can be nuances that can be problematic depending on medications someone already takes. I would run these supplements by your neurologist or internist for completeness.

Yeah, What a guy alright
MM - thanks for posting. The false accolades are nauseating. Not one mention of gain-of-fucking-research. Don't you love how they called his work "prophetic?" Yes. You idiots. It's only a matter of time before such "research" loses its containment, whether by accident, design, or sabotage.

replying to -- basically agreeing with -- Island Girl
I absolutely agree that your "Alternative treatment" should be an option for anyone who's interested, provided (as you suggested) that there are no contraindications. Were I in such a situation and given the option, I'd probably give HCQ a try. Not because I'm convinced it will help -- we still need better trials, as you and others including Chris have noted -- but because it plausibly might and seems incredibly unlikely to make things worse.

Re: Reply to cautionary note in paper on HFH study
The CDC gives the rationale for that recommendation here. It will take some time to read through, and I'm not yet sure whether a recommendation against really means "please don't use this" or just "we aren't formally recommending that you use this."

Suggestions
It seems you are new here and I don't know how much you have read before posting.
I have posted numerous times ideas to prepare for the eventuality you get SC2. Chris's new video which has not been loaded to the site has a case history of a woman who contracted it a 2nd time. Chris did not do a very good job with the interview. As sometimes happens interviewers get into their own track and forget about the asking of questions. That said the husband , Adam, did offer some advice.
By way of suggestions I will say what I have done.
1- secure food for long term, expand garden
2- secure ppe, cleaning, disinfectant etc.
3- contact 4 of my doctors. get feedback on HCQ, Get ECG. Get bloodwork, assess Vit D level (95), Get Spectracell analysis (awaiting results). Find out from PCP what would happen if I tested +. (see scenario above) 3 of 4 docs would prescribe HCQ, 4th was not asked to but likely would)
4 - Stockpile necessary supplements, Zinc, Quercitin, Vit C ,Vit D, Selenium, NAC, Colloidal Silver, Chayawanprash, Elderberry syrup.
5- study, here, Medcram, online searches, network. I asked lots of people who had taken HCQ what their experience was like.
6- Order HCQ. 1st attempt failed. FDA pulled EAU so docs could no longer prescribe. 2nd attempt successful for Chloroquine. Also secured Cinchona bark.
7- continue with all preps.
I starting preparing for this in 1968. I organized my life around the premise that the extant paradigm was likely going extinct. There have been some setbacks but the basic program has proceeded.
BTW I think your criticisms have some validity. The newest video was disappointing. He did not mention Ivermectin after not mentioning it when it was in the title Tuesday. The new one is short on data and long on anecdote.

What about Ivermectin?
The title mentions Ivermectin, but I didn't notice any mention of it in the video. It's something I am very interested in hearing more about.

Yeah, absolutely. In my country we were already doing social distancing and staying home before the criminal government declared nationwide lockdowns.
Nah, that's silly, cuz the body already has some zinc ions floating around. Your zinc levels aren't 0 when taking HCQ. It's like when clowns or dishonest pharma operatives do vitamin D trials under the absurd assumption that participants all have a baseline of 0 vitamin D, because that's the default for drugs (and then give them tiny doses and conclude it's not effective!).
No it's not -- we have more than enough real-world evidence. It's only underwhelming if you're a believer in scientism and need multiple peer-reviewed and meta-studies to "confirm", while discarding all the anecdotal + clinical evidence that already confirms. This makes even less sense when you have a criminal pharma cartel dominating the "global health" space and doing their best to suppress effective cures in order to promote their ineffective antivirals and toxic trojan-horsed/adjuvanted vaccines.
Of course it should've shown results! The #1 factor for HCQ is whether it's used early in the disease progression rather than late, and zinc co-administration is #2. The fraudulent studies omit both, not just zinc.
Consider dryam2000's tips, but also consider that doctors often don't really have a clue about what they're doing beyond their tiny bubble/paradigm of "if this, then that drug" they were taught in medical school. There are many good doctors, but unfortunately they are a minority. It can ultimately only be up to you to figure out your own health (or your wife's). I can tell you very little about MS and even less about ALS as I haven't researched these conditions, but my best guess is that research published on the Internet by people affected and the best doctors in the world vastly outranks the info/paradigm your doctor is operating under.
I'd go with the simplest prophylactic protocol as of now:
- Vitamin D (abundant sunshine exposure on skin, and/or 10,000-40,000 IU/day for a few days to correct an existing deficiency, or 5000IU/day as maintenance)
- Vitamin C (0.5-1g 1-2 times a day as maintenance, or 2-4g 2-4 times a day to fight an infection or toxic insult)
- zinc + zinc ionophore (HCQ or quercetin) if you suspect you could be infected
- animal-derived protein and saturated fat (comes with fat-soluble vitamins A, E, K, all 5 lacking in vegan diets)
She probably could take all of these already (except HCQ) in maintenance doses without any issues... But I would nonetheless first research what others (non-mainstream i.e. beyond what Wikipedia says) have found about your wife's extremely rare neuromuscular disease and/or ALS/MS if it's so rare that little research has been done. My hunch is that demyelinating disease has to do with excitotoxicity from excessive glutamatergic or dysfunctional GABAergic neurotransmission, for which NMDA antagonists like magnesium, memantine, and ketamine might be useful, but it's just a guess based on my own experiences with trashing my myelin sheeths during my youth (earlier youth). You know about the Deep State, so you're already a researcher!

5000 plus people tested and no dysrhythmias
Between this Henry Ford study and the publication by Didier Raoult, et al, we now have well over 5000 people treated with HCQ and not a single heart dysrhythmia reported while being monitored for that very condition. Not one person.
Remember when the corporate media told us, months ago, how dangerous HCQ was? Any chance they will retract and apologize? Silly me... I know the answer.

Spectracell analysis
I'd like to get micronutrient analysis done. Do I need to find a functional med doc who is not skeptical of this stuff to do the blood draw and order the test?

Spectracell
Hey IG you can go to spectracell.com. There is a list of providers and draw sites. My new pcp was willing to do it but his office couldn't figure out the protocol. (they are extremely busy as they are urgent care as well). You can call Spectracell and they are very helpful. Fortunately my old doc who is retired is still listed by them and I was able to get him to do it.
Check with your insurance company to find out if they will pay for it, Mine (humana) said they are waiving copays during the pandemic and if a doctor orders it they will pay for it. Your doctor can draw the blood and open an account with them online and Fedex the sample to them overnight. On the website they say the turnaround is 10-14 days . It used to be quicker but they are also doing covid tests now.
A functional medical practitioner does not have to be a MD. They can be Chiropractors, NA, Np's etc. Just find one who is aware of nutrition if your PCP isn't. The website for Functional Medicine has a provider tool to find one in your area.

Dr. Zelenco/Bi-Weekly Briefing
Chris, you may want to use this letter from Dr. Zelenco in your briefings which can be found here: https://spectator.org/the-20-solution-to-coronavirus-anecdotal-evidence-is-a-life-saver/
Dr. Zelenco is a treating physician in NY and has had astounding success in treating Covid19 patients with HCQ, Zinc, and azythramycine - "early and hard." Dr. Brian Proctor in McKinney, TX is also successfully treating patients with the same cocktail, early on. It's a $50 treatment.
And effin Fauci has known this cocktail worked since August 22, 2005. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232869/
You know what my mom would say about Fauci? "Motherfucker" (sorry, it's true)
He is a crimes against humanity kind of criminal. So what kind of criminal does that make the Fed?

You can get Ivermectin from a Vet supply store.
HCQ you will have to find a doc who will prescribe it for lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. HCQ has many uses in Dermatology so you can check with a Dermatologist.
You can go online to Indiamart.com and order it online. Look up Peggy's post in the forums (current events). She posted the link there . She has ordered it but I don't know if she got it yet.
You can go to riverpharmacy.ca and get Chloroquine which is an earlier version of HCQ. It has a slightly higher toxicity profile but is a zinc ionophore. It takes about 4 or 5 weeks.
In the meantime there are a number of other zinc ionophores which are readily available. Quercitin, Green tea and cinchona bark are all zinc ionophores that are perfectly legal.
Getting your Vit D levels up and eliminating sugar are 2 really important things to do. Should you find HCQ or Chloroquine have an ECG done and check with your doctor there are contraindications

Not Quite HCQ
Roland,
I eat foods rich in zinc and drink a gin and tonic a few times a week. Tonic water contains a minor amount of quinine. The US FDA allows up to 83 parts per million of the soda to be quinine. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323692#is-quinine-safe.
Do some reading on Ivermectin. There's a post on one of the threads today or yesterday about dosing. I don't remember the particulars or who posted it; however, based on a 90 Kg (~200 lbs) human, one gram of 1.87% horse paste would be the dosage. (Frankly, if you just rely on my memory here, you are a fool. Do your own due diligence!)

RolandRock: Getting Hydroxychloroquine
A local doctor (who is willing) can call a prescription for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in to CanadaCloudPharmacy.com, a small brick and mortar pharmacy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Ask to talk with Brian or Anthony if available as I have had discussions with them and they understand that there is good evidence supporting the off-label use of HCQ for COVID.
They have no professional society or legal prohibitions for dispensing HCQ for COVID.
However, it takes a week to ship to US addresses and even if you found a doctor to do this today it won't arrive in a timely manner.
I agree with Grover and Mohammed that it would be good to start the other zinc supplements and zinc ionophores immediately. (And everybody else--GET YOUR HCQ BEFORE YOU NEED IT.)
Quercitin (2 twice daily) by Thorne Research would probably be a good one. Or this one by pure encapsulations.
ECGC (Green tea extract, epigallocatechin-3-gallate) such as contained in the combination product Botanical Treasures by Natura.
Don't for get Zinc Picolinate like this product or this one.
Most can be purchased in a health food store and other retailers online.
I am not aware of any comparisons of the effectiveness of the different Zinc ionophores mentioned here.
In addition, HCQ has a number of other mechanisms besides the zinc ionophore one, by which it inhibits the SARS-CoV2 virus uptake and replication. In addition it modulates immune responses (reducing TNF-alpha and IL-6, for example) and reduce the excessive clotting of phospholipid syndrome (a part of some rheumatologic diseases). So HCQ would be recommended by me when it becomes available even while taking Quercitin and ECGC.
Good luck on finding a doctor who can and will prescribe and I hope you don't live in a state with emergency orders from the governor prohibiting pharmacists in your state from filling HCQ prescriptions for COVID (an unheard of event).

Bidens Pilosi
After 3 days in and tired of arguing with know nothing corporate Docs, I have so far only progressed to a chest cold.
Takin the bull by the horns I dug my Bidens Pilosi tincture out of the cubboard and have been taking 1 Tblspoon 3x daily. Bidens is an anti-malarial weed found growing all over the temperate regions of the world. Still had this from 2 years ago when I had to cure an anaplasmosis condition aquired from a tick bite in Virginia.
I will post daily updates on my progress.
It is a shame that the medical profession in this country have turned into the most highly paid Quacks.
And thank you to all that have contributed such valuable info to the fight.

Antimalarials
At first, I thought that this was a political pun on one of the US Presidential candidates and the Speaker of the House. So, I looked up Bidens pilosa on DuckDuckGo.com and this came up in the search engine results: https://earthmedicineinstitute.com/more/library/medicinal-plants/bidens-pilosa/
The "Western Functions Reported" has a long list of functions. The one that caught my eye was "antimalarial." There are other antimalarial agents like Hydroxychloroquine that are effective against Sars-Cov2. I wonder what is it that makes these antimalarial agents good candidates to suppress SC2? Are there other antimalarial agents that we should consider?

Hydroxychloroquine in Nonhospitalized Adults With Early COVID-19 A Randomized Trial
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-4207
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted from 22 March through 20 May 2020. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04308668)
Oral hydroxychloroquine (800 mg once, followed by 600 mg in 6 to 8 hours, then 600 mg daily for 4 more days) or masked placebo.
Results:
Of 491 patients randomly assigned to a group, 423 contributed primary end point data. Of these, 341 (81%) had laboratory-confirmed infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or epidemiologically linked exposure to a person with laboratory-confirmed infection; 56% (236 of 423) were enrolled within 1 day of symptoms starting. Change in symptom severity over 14 days did not differ between the hydroxychloroquine and placebo groups (difference in symptom severity: relative, 12%; absolute, −0.27 points [95% CI, −0.61 to 0.07 points]; P = 0.117). At 14 days, 24% (49 of 201) of participants receiving hydroxychloroquine had ongoing symptoms compared with 30% (59 of 194) receiving placebo (P = 0.21). Medication adverse effects occurred in 43% (92 of 212) of participants receiving hydroxychloroquine versus 22% (46 of 211) receiving placebo (P < 0.001). With placebo, 10 hospitalizations occurred (2 non–COVID-19–related), including 1 hospitalized death. With hydroxychloroquine, 4 hospitalizations occurred plus 1 nonhospitalized death (P = 0.29).
They have a 3rd leg of the trial which looks good - to check for HCQ use as a prophylactic

RE: Boulware's HCQ trial in nonhospitalized adults
Just like Boulware's post exposure prophylactic study, the most surprising thing is the low, low rate of problems in the placebo group. Only one death and 10 hospitalizations out of 211 patients. The patients were young (interquartile range 32 to 50) and mostly healthy. Symptoms cleared faster and there were half the number of hospitalizations in the HCQ group, but the study was too small for this to be a statistically significant result.
The study participants were asked about whether they were taking zinc or vitamin C. There was no difference in the results based on this aspect.
Presumably, Boulware also used folic acid as placebo in this study, as in his other one. HCQ and folic acid, both covid-19 wonder drugs? I suppose it's possible.
The earlier study showed that most subjects exposed to covid-19 didn't catch the disease, and this one is showing that hospitalization rates and fatality rates among those that do get sick are also very low.
So what's been going on in hot spots where the disease is causing such high fatality rates, and reportedly overwhelming hospital systems? And what about these anecdotal reports of longterm suffering, or severe organ damage even in asymptomatic patients? Something isn't adding up here.

CJ this is the Minnesota study.
HCQ was administered at twice the dosage or more than what Didier Raoult was using for his 1000 plus French patients with great success. As expressed so well in Peak Performance comments, there were enough patients dropping out to make the results statistically insignificant.

HCQ in one month from India Mart--thank you Peggy
You can get HCQ from IndiaMart.com in one month (I just did), no prescription needed. The manufacturer is Zydus Synovia...a very reputable pharmaceutical outfit. (I checked them out.)
Thank you, thank you, tribe member Peggy for suggesting IndiaMart.com. We are not on our own when we participate in this PP tribe. We have each other's backs.
My order was filled in two days, shipped immediately and then spent over three weeks in U.S. Customs before being forwarded to me. Total cost including shipping and fees was about $0.28 per 200 milligram dose. Assuming 14 doses are enough for a full course of treatment (with zinc) that is about $4 bucks total for the HCQ.
No conspiracies, I am sure. Nope, just a total accident that Remdesivir doesn't really work and costs about $2,400. Right...
Hmmm...even with text sharpening, this is not very clear. Anyway, type in IndiaMart.com in your browser, then select Nagpur as the city on the IndiaMart.com web page, then type in "hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg tablets" and hit the search button. No prescription needed.
The supplier is S. A. Enterprises and they will recommend that you use a payment method called transferwise.com. I did so...very easy. I worked with a Sunil Phalke at S. A. Enterprises. Here is Sunil's contact information.
I have now put aside enough HCQ to treat my family and friends...if some of them can ever get over their fear of HCQ. Thanks very much, fake media. You have a lot of blood on your hands.

why 400 mg tablets?
I ordered the 400 mg tablets because: 1) they were available without a prescription, and I wanted to be able to say that to anyone who asked, 2) they were from a manufacturer that I had researched and trust, 3) they were a bit cheaper per dose than the 200 mg tablets (I am a tightwad), 4) they are bottled, rather than blister-packed and it is easier for me to manipulate a bottle than a blister pack (I have some stiffness in my hands) and 5) I already have a pill splitter. 🙂
But by all means, if you want to use 200 mg tablets, please do so.
Hope this helps.

HELP NEEDED... POTENTIAL COVID... should i take HCQ or no???
PP Community... i want to thank you because, without you, Chris or Adam, I would be lost. I have been in isolation since Feb but receiving groceries etc for survival by mail. In the last week, i developed a mild cough and mild lump in throat (kinda like you have a buildup of phlem you can't swallow). I do not want a Covid test as I do not trust the authorities running the tests. Also, the only doctor i have consulted with is online and they did allow me a script for HCQ. I'm assuming I have exposure since I don't really know what else I could have. My heart rate is perfect and so is my health. No comorbidities. Given Chris' research around long term Covid damage i'm afraid of not taking HCQ yet i have fears of taking it as well. The pills sit on my counter for now........... it's approx one week with cough (it is VERY mild). What would my PP community do.... should I go ahead and just take the pills? Would you? If so, what kind of dosage would you take? Sandpuppy had suggested that my symptoms don't sound like Covid but who knows as these symptoms all seem to change by the hour? Feeling confused and distressed! HELP!

Kennedy Jr brilliant!; Have mild symptoms, should I use HCQ?
^ Yep, agreed, this one's really great, the first time I've seen humanity in Dershowitz too... and then you realize it's only because Kennedy is a Democrat.
If you already have HCQ sitting there... take at least a lower dose (I think the pills come in 100mg or 200mg, while a high dose is 600mg) along with zinc... or you can take quercetin+EGCG+zinc (natural zinc ionophores with virtually no side-effects, but may be less powerful). Even more important is to ensure your vitamin D levels are high (abundant daily sunshine or else 5000-40000 IU/day supplementation). Take vitamin C (1-3g 1-3 times a day), NAC, vitamin B3, ensure you're getting absorbable protein and saturated fat (and the accompanying fat-soluble vitamins A, E, K) from high-quality animal sources... You can also use CDS (don't use at the same time as vitamin C or NAC).
But most importantly, realize that a fearful mindset puts you into a chronic stress biological situation of elevated cortisol levels which attenuates your immune system (because you need to run from or fight the threat, so you don't need healing processes or an immune system right now, biologically speaking). It will also attract negative scenarios that are of a compatible/similar type/vibrational resonance. You also need exposure to germs to maintain a functional immune system... staying locked inside is no good for this (or for vitamin D).
So you need to find ways to lighten up... What's the worst that could happen, that you would die? SPOILERS: There is no such thing as death!

Thinking Logically
I am thoroughly confused. Would mainstream media, doctors, researchers, et al. all be so intent on going against whatever Trump says to shut down HCQ to this extent if it actually had the kind of promise touted here? Are the aforementioned so cynical that they care more about politics than lives? I know many on this site would say yes, but think it through. If HCQ turns out to be beneficial, the truth will emerge, probably from another country or countries that don't suffer from TDS. I have seen Chris previously say that other countries are using HCQ to great benefit. I have not found evidence to support that statement. Assuming however that it is true, does the anti-trump media and med establishment have such power in this country to shut down those findings? If HCQ really worked to save lives and that fact (or hypothesis perhaps) is being utterly suppressed, then just how would the already discredited CDC, WHO, and other public health agencies look then? I hardly believe they are willing to discredit themselves into oblivion by suppressing information on a potential life-saving drug. It simply doesn't add up.

I feel your pain :)
Hi Oclisa:
I feel your pain. 🙂 But the more education, the more status one has, the harder it is to admit when you are wrong. Self-importance, or pride, gets in the way. Big time. Logic goes out the window when pride comes in the door.
I think their actions are explainable, in the most charitable interpretation, by just invoking pride and status. These folks made a decision about HCQ in a knee-jerk way, months ago, and now they are too proud or too arrogant to recall it.
If you have ever had to really apologize to someone for a stupid, thoughtless or downright evil thing you did to them, you will understand, at least a little bit, what these folks are going through. Sincerely apologizing, admitting you were wrong and trying to make restitution where possible is really, really hard work. So most people prefer to avoid it. This I know by experience.
In the least charitable interpretation, I do think that many people just flat hate Trump so much that they have seized on HCQ as a way of (they hope) doing damage to him because he suggested, months and months ago, that it might have some value. (They might have remembered instead that, to date, every single weapon used against Trump has blown up in the face of those using it. Every single one.) They can't admit HCQ has value, because that would mean that Trump was right. And they can't stand that.
And money is a powerful motivator also...if expensive drugs costing thousands of dollars per dose are used instead of a medicine that costs literally pennies per dose, that is a big reason also to suppress and misrepresent the value of HCQ. The early church Father Tertullian once said that self-interest is a powerful argumentrix. Yup.
Well, HCQ does have value in treating Covid-19, especially if used early. That is just flat true. You need to study the evidence provided by Chris.
And you might benefit by carefully reading a post that SandPuppy and I wrote on Medium almost 2 months ago.
https://medium.com/@drbrucedale/hydroxychloroquine-can-prevent-many-covid-19-related-deaths-ae5de7a73570
The evidence is even stronger now. Please read it...and if you don't understand some point or disagree with some point, by all means, let me know. I promise a respectful discussion.
Best wishes for a reduction in your pain level. 🙂
Bruce
Can't resist one more relevant (I hope) quote from the German polymath Goethe: "All learning is accompanied by pain."
I put that quote on the board at the beginning of each semester in all my classes. I told the students that my job was to minimize the amount of pain they suffered for each point of knowledge gained.
You are in the process of learning something pretty powerful about our frequently corrupt, self-serving "leaders", and it hurts. I know. All kidding aside, I do feel your pain.

Thanks for writing the medium article, DrBruceDale
I had apparently missed it a few months ago when originally published - I hope you keep us (loudly and repeatedly) appraised of all your other writings and updates. It's hard to find trustworthy, credentialed sources in this day and age who speak clearly and scientifically. Having one (two!) in our own community is truly a blessing.

How do they suppress HCQ?
Yes, TDS mind-control is very powerful.
On that you're right, as we are already witnessing:
The chart above gives you a good view (though most countries are missing). It depends primarily on the degree to which a government group abides by the global health mafia's decrees (and many don't update their positions to the newest guidelines, e.g. in regard to fomites, superspreading pre- vs. asymptomatics, appropriate mask use, etc).
That's a great question. You may be thinking the corruption exists as the MSM/DNC/DS and it stops there... but no, the medical-pharmaceutical industry is of a corruption one can scarcely imagine before delving into that rabbit hole... Of all sources, I'd recommend signing up to the newsletters of Dr. Mercola and NaturalNews, that way you'll be informed progressively over time, without being easily overwhelmed. Even more importantly, you'll learn how to take control of your own health and become your own doctor!
How they perceive they will be perceived depends on their perception of the degree to which they are able to control the narrative... They only get "discredited" if they aren't able to remain in control of the narrative. That's how it adds up.
EDIT: Here's another one:

Dr Dale and Dr Howard:
What a great paper you've shared!!!! Thank you for speaking up!
Question about dosage on slight cough and phlem issue... do you think 200g per day is safe from blindness? I have 2 friends with Lupus on HCQ and stated they have to see eye doctor for potential blindness every 6 months. I would assume that is because of ongoing usage but don't want to assume anything before taking the HCQ dosage.
Thanks!!!

Thinking Logically
Well thinking logically and mentioning the institutions you mentioned is a classic oxymoron.
It is hard to know just where to begin. But perhaps the best place is with $$$$$$$$.
Once one understands $$$$$$$ then it all makes perfect sense. People who are asleep trust people in power. They trust institutions. They trust "scientists" They trust the media. They are willing to put their intuition, their own instincts and unfortunately their own best interests aside because of indoctrination.
The US government is a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate Amerika. In this case the big pharma cartel. Big pharma buys politicians the way Amerikaans buy toilet paper ( same use). Big pharma buys advertising the same way. Advertisers are beholden to big pharma for revenue. Supposedly well respected medical journals are funded by big pharma. These are journals that are relied on to provide unbiased scientific findings upon which doctors and researchers depend. Those findings shape public policy. One example of what I am talking about is the drug Remdesivir. It is basically an orphan drug looking for a disease it can be used for. It was studied and shown to reduce hospital stays by 4 days for SC2. It did not lower mortality. It was touted by Fauci as the standard of care. It has to be administered in a hospital, intravenously, and costs well north of $2,000. The price of the stock shot up and Gilead received a hefty bump. The back story is that 11 of the 50 members of the "expert" NIH panel that approved the drug are either employees or have financial connections to Gilead. Fast forward to the Lancet and the NEJM studies by Surgisphere which were roundly discredited and retracted. It turns out that the 2 principals of Surgisphere touted Remdesivir and were invited to talk at a Gilead meeting a couple of weeks after the study. I wonder what their "honorarium " was?
There are over 100 drug companies in a race to create a vaccine. Bill Gates wants to vaccinate 7.5 billion people. He has investments in many of these companies. These vaccines are being pushed through trials at a speed never before seen. Bill Gates is a big donor to the WHO.
It is interesting to note that virtually every media report carries the same message. It is a drug promoted by Trump, it is dangerous, and it is of dubious efficacy. Studies that are designed to fail get lots of coverage and studies that show it works are ignored. In response to your question about countries where it is being used Chris posted on one of his videos countries that are doing poorly and not using it and countries that are doing exceptionally well and are using it. The following is an article about Bolsonaro in Brazil who got SC2 and took HCQ and was better in a day. https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/hydroxychloroquine-worked-for-me-says-brazil-president/article32106326.ece
The good Dr. Bruce covered most of this in his post. Yes it is about Trump. But to a much larger extent it is all about the money. The Frontline Doctors video that can be found in the forums is a very good overview of the situation. Dr. James Todaro has done excellent investigations into all of this.
As what has now become the motto here "you are on your own" is now painfully clear, you need to no longer depend on institutions to have your best interests at heart.

Eyes
The issues with eyes is retinopathy. It is the result of long term use .
"Overall, around seven patients out of every 100 taking hydroxychloroquine for more than five years may develop retinopathy that can be detected with specialised tests. At this appointment, a number of photographs and scans will be taken of your retina to assess your eye health and your suitability for screening."

vaccine injury study mentioned by kennedy
Boy. I have never seen this data before. The methodology sure looks reasonable to me. They monitored patients in the HMO who got vaccinated, and then looked to see if they had reported medical issues in the following 30 days that might be associated with the vaccination.
2.6% of vaccinated people reported issues. That was 35,570 people out of 715,000 patients. Yow. That's a really big number. Now imagine if you give a COVID vaccine to 320 million Americans. That would be 8.3 million people having an "event".

1986 Vaccine Protection Act- protected from prosecution regardless of contaminates
Vaccines are loss-leader items for manufacturers. To offset this, they become governmental contractors who sell primarily to state/federal/national institutions. Since they are protected from prosecution, it helps the profitability. Consequently, there's so little oversight, there's notoriously poor quality controls.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/99th-congress/house-bill/5546
This was in response to numerous lawsuits in the '70s by parents who had children injured by the DPT. Don't agree with some conclusions here, but does give history.
https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/vaccine-injury-compensation-programs
How bad could it be? Pretty awful. In 2009, Baxter Pharma finally admitted sending seasonal flu vaccines that contained live avian flu. It was caught by quality controls in the receiving nations when they injected lab ferrets, and they all died of avian flu.
https://www.ctvnews.ca/baxter-admits-flu-product-contained-live-bird-flu-virus-1.374503
It doesn't end there. Glass, metals, DNA of host tissues, etc. are found far too frequently.
"Sanofi Pasteur, one the world's leading vaccine makers, had a potentially serious and costly problem on its hands: Its Monroe County plant discovered tiny pieces of glass in batches of a vaccine intended for babies."
https://www.mcall.com/news/watchdog/mc-sanofi-pasteur-defective-vaccine-vials-
20161210-story.htm
"A 2017 study of 44 types of 15 traditional vaccines, manufactured by leading global companies, has uncovered a very troubling and previously unreported fact:
The vaccines are heavily contaminated with a variety of nanoparticles. Many of the particles are metals."
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/06/jon-rappoport/dangerous-nano-particles-contaminating-many-vaccines-groundbreaking-study/
Remember China has been a major world-wide vaccine producer for years. It has been plagued with scandals.
https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/contaminated-by-scandals-china-vents-fury-at-vaccine-makers-20180723-p4zt3q.html
For 2 years in a row, Chinese DPT vaccines for babies have been contaminated, and it resulted in hospitalizations and deaths. Executives were imprisoned.
Let's just say that I'm skeptical of any rushed vaccine that has been given FDA permission to completely by-pass animal testing and goes straight to humans. If you watch any of the apocalyptic zombie movies, they always center on some world-wide contagion or a vaccine with unintended (?) consequences. Soft disclosure or predictive programming?

Pharma corruption is epic- here's proof
There's a whole sorted tale behind the promotion of a drug and how the company becomes a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The FDA doesn't test drugs, but relies on the company's own research. They "review it" for the application fees, which constitute a hefty portion of their budget. Politicians are complicit when they authorize which ones will be used by the VA, Workers Comp, and paid by Medicare/Medicaid.This in turn is adopted elsewhere as standard of care. Practitioners are literally bribed to prescribe by the companies with "speaker fees" for lectures they never even attend.
Watch Frontline's Opiods Inc. Tale of the arrest of doctor who invented an opiod marketed as for intractable pain at the end of life, but was prescribe quite differently, and how he schemed his way to financial success. The sales manager openly admits he hires psychopaths to target vulnerable doctors/prescribers at "pill mills" with kick backs. One nurse practitioner states,"they're walking out of here with a script anyway. Why shouldn't I get compensated?" The higher the patient's dosage, the bigger the pay off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvCld2vKug8
Practice Fusion, a Silicon Valley start up, paid $145million in fines for pushing doctors to prescribe addictive drugs.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/28/practice-fusion-took-kickbacks-to-push-opioids-to-doctors-doj-finds.html
July 27, 2020 Indivor agrees to pay $600million to settle prescription opioid charges.
https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2020/07/27/576906.htm
As you can see, there's a whole lot going on with the Pharma industry. Reasonable to be concerned about the Remdesivir push and hurried vaccines.

Pres. Trump's new doctor
Let me be the first to say that Dr. Stella Immanuel is a total kick in the pants. Call me crazy, in this world, that is a complement.
Obviously an honest person. Don't roll your eyes at me... Deep down, we all know the things she says are correct. The anecdotal evidence for space alien abduction and hybridization program is pretty massive. She is correct about hydroxychloroquin if nothing else.

Push back
Today, the Governor of Ohio issued a statement asking the pharmcy board to rescind its decision blocking th dispensing of HCQ. In related news, Dr. Simone Gold, who organized the conference at which Dr. Immanuel spoke, has hired lawyer Lin Wood to represent her against those who are impugning her credibility. Lin Wood secured settlements against CNN and the Washington Post on behalf of the Covington Catholic student who was maligned in the press and social media. If Dr. Gold files a lawsuit, I suspect that lots of conflict of interest will emerge in the discovery phase. I also suspect that the social media platforms censoring the group may be held liable if the weight-of-the-evidence shows that early Zn/AZT/HCQ can reduce morbidity. Not to mention the civil suits that would result if it turns out the economic damage may have been mitigated by aggressive early treatment. We shall see. Just getting a sense the dam may break...

SS # for HCQ?
Seems there's always something....I followed DrBruce's instructions for aquiring HCQ from India. Went smooth until trying to pay via transferwise. Why would a UK-based company need my SS number for a transaction based in India? This after also getting my DOB, address, etc. Anyone else deal with this? Aloha, Steve.

We are interested in having an emergence stash of HCQ too
Been listening to Chris since January 2020 and recently joined the members only site. I am still trying to figure it all out and where to go to find the latest on acquiring HCQ.
Does anyone know if it is available in Tennessee also if available in South Africa have asked a friend there if she can buy?? Has anyone dealt with this source that we received a reply from Sunil Phalke, S. A. Enterprises regarding Hydroxychloroquine 200 Mg - Hcqs - Tablets (Ipca)
We basically follow Chris's prevention supplement regimen + some to keep healthy immune system.

"which side are you on" and HCQ discrimination
zero mickey:
Thank you for reporting the internet fascism against HCQ. The CDC taking over the truth-tellers website is an example of things to come. This is why we need to develop and use direct peer-to-peer communications (digital amateur radio comes to mind here).
But that is a separate background topic.
We do not yet have world government so freedom does exist. In this context we should examine what is happening in India, which has gone full in on using HCQ for prophylaxis of the honey badger virus.
Does anyone know what is happening in India, where virtually all of the nurses and doctors are taking HCQ prophylaxtically? The Indians published an early favorable study some months ago. They must have better data now. The Indian experience should be front and center in these discussions.

How to fix eye issues; astaxanthin
That's FIVE years! The half life is up to 2 full days so it will accumulate if taken daily. You can just quit for a while.
I haven't looked into the mechanism that causes retinopathy, but generally what you need to repair eye degradation is DHA (omega-3 fatty acid) and vitamin A. You can also use astaxanthin to protect and even improve your eyesight (a big secret the optometrist would rather you not know!).

@Rick
I just ordered through Sunil. As mentioned, he was a fast communicator. He has other drugs too so I grabbed azith as well (as per a few of the studies that showed promise for HCQ)
Consider what other relatively safe medicines you might also want. I grabbed enough HCQ/azith to treat my family twice accoring to the protocols and shipping costs were still more than half of the overall price I paid.
On that note, does PP have a list of recommonded "where there are no doctors" type medicines to have on hand? If I were more organized I would have grabbed everything in one go.

@wotthecurtains and others
Thanks for the replies ....we are new to community appreciate the help and ideas....the idea of 2 rounds for spouse and self is great plus picking up the Azith
Has anyone taken the HCQ and know it works or is actually HCQ as we would expect?
So I am thinking that we need 800 mg day one and 400mg for 9 days after that does that sound about right? Thus about 100 200mg pills should be a good stash - though they are so cheap maybe 200 is better and have extras. We keep stocked with zinc and quercetin too.
How about the Azith - any help here would be appreciated?? I do not know dosage on that .........I am sure it on a post somewhere on the site but have not come across yet. do you take everyday along with the HCQ?
thank you.......will post on our experience and receipt

HCQ dosing - consider the Half-Life!!
800mg sounds too high - most reports say 600mg twice a day is the high-dose treatment for hospitalized patients (who are generally in a more advanced stage of disease progression). If it's prophylaxis you can use even just 100mg a day, because the half-life is about 2 days, so it accumulates.
As for azithromycin, I wouldn't take it if I'm at home, but it makes sense to use it in hospitals to eliminate the confounding factor of co-infections by opportunistic bacteria. Over 95% of people who died from the Spanish Flu died more directly from bacterial co-infection (in a time before antibiotics).
The situation is quite different as today we have social media, Youtube, smartphones... and they have totally obliterated their credibility to anyone but their mind-controlled NPC slaves. And they're censoring all of us, no matter if you're a group of doctors with hands-on experience... They're waging all-out war on us in our faces...

@tbp
thanks.....we will try and order today and repost once we know more
Hopefully this is not all repetitive elsewhere on this site (if it is maybe you can point us in the direction too) but here is info we found today on a French study with a link to site
The Process:
Patients with COVID-19 infection are treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
Plaquenil 200mg x3/day (10 days), and azithromycine 250mg for five days, twice the first day, then once for the next four days.
In order to avoid cardiac problems, an ECG is done before starting treatment, and in order to assess lung damage, a low-dose CT scan is performed.
The evaluation of the virological effect consists of a PCR before inclusion, with the quantification of the viral load on a nasopharyngeal sample, and a PCR on D5 to verify that the virus is undetectable or at levels too low to present a contagious risk.

Kardia - 6L EKg - Personal EKg
Thought this might be interesting for folks.
I purchased one with the idea to track my QT interval expecting that I would use HCQ at some point.
There is a personal 6Lead Ekg device on the market called a Kardia.
https://www.alivecor.com/kardiamobile6l
It is FDA approved for taking an EKG that will provide the information needed for QTc measurement. A cardiologist is needed to calculate the QTc as the device will not provide that information directly.
Kardia has a monthly service (kardiacare) where a Cardiologist will analyze the outputs each month. I emailed them and asked if that service would provide the QTc. They indicated that it would not.

Wired Magazine Summary of the HCQ Story
https://www.wired.com/story/hydroxychloroquine-covid-19-strange-twisted-tale/
Long but worth the overview and some pithy observations:
"The crisis of the global pandemic intersected with a crisis of belief, with opposing scientific ideas somehow getting tethered to political ideologies."
"The foxes all run their own chicken-coop businesses."
"Some researchers still think the drug might have a small, as yet unproven effect if used early enough, or in a different amount. It's possible, and it's also possible no one will ever know."

Rule For Rulers (The Dictator's Handbook)
I've had The Dictator's Handbook on my audible wishlist for a few years now.
Chris mentioned the Rules For Rulers youtube video in one of his updates (or at the recent seminar, I cant remember now) and I enjoyed it so much that when I saw the note that it was adapted from the book I grabbed it right away.
Honesty, if you read that book (I'm 2/3 through) none of the reaction of various world governments to Covid is very surprising.
Like if the whole covid pandemic just turns out to be a half-trillion dollar handover to pharma companies for an unneeded vaccine to cure something with a .1% kill rate heavily skewed to certain groups who could have been helped by essentially risk free cheap drugs and supplements, this wouldn't be an unusual or even a particularly dark example of how rulers behave.
OK, the scale might be larger than ever since its worldwide, but you gotta understand that rulers need their key supporters and those that won't do dirty deeds get replaced in short order by those who will.
Read the book (at least watch the video) and you will see why this HCQ thing is an easy choice for a ruler. There are rulers who forbid charities from distributing food to starving tsunami victims until the charity pays a 300% duty on the value of the trucks they are bringing into the country. Letting thousands die while negotiating this deal is a no brainer because money is needed to keep essential supporters in line.
