Coronavirus: Dr Vladimir Zelenko and the Cure

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko

Dr Vladimir Zelenko has been curing for Coronavirus with the following protocol (soon to publish in JAMA) for perhaps six weeks or more.

I found him a while back but haven't had time to do a write up.

He uses the following protocol:

Hydroxychloroquine 200mg, 1 pill twice a day for 5 days,
Azithromycin (not a Z-pack) 500mg, 1 pill a day for five days
Zinc Sulfate 220mg 1 pill a day for five days

Zinc kills the virus and hydroxychloroquine opens a channel in the cells allowing the zinc in. Azithromycin prevents general infection during the course of treatement.

A current interview (April 20, 2020) is available here: https://omny.fm/shows/frank-sontag/04-20-20-interview-with-dr-vladimir-zelenko

Well worth  a listen.

He's been at this fora while (perhaps mid March):

The governments of Brazil, Israel, Panama, Peru, Honduras, Ukraine, Russia, South Africa are all in contract with Dr. Zelenko regarding this protocol.

An inconvenient truth for Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates.

Is this BS?

Here: https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/03/31/coronavirus-rudy-giuliani-spreads-misinformation-covid-19-14674 - of course, they misrepresent what Dr. Zelenko has said: "Could he [ Zelenko ] be right? Perhaps, but this report doesn't clarify. There is one biologically plausible belief underlying Dr. Zelenko's thought process. He believes that the hydroxy, to borrow Dr. Giuliani's phrase, reduces the viral load, while the azithromycin reduces bacterial overgrowth that frequently accompanies persistent pneumonia."

And here: https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/27/we-dont-know-hydroxychloroquine/

Note too, the link immediately above uses only hydroxychloroquine, not the cocktail suggested by Dr. Zelenko.

If I contract this, you can bet I will consider this very seriously...

Soon enough (he claims within a week or so) a JAMA (or other) published study.

I wonder what the benefit of suppressing this in the mean time might be?  After all Dr. Zelenko prescribes all of the above medications for other reasons - all without issue - and has so for at least a decade.

Zinc has been around for twenty five years as a weapon against Corono viruses in the context of the common cold.

I really appreciate his enthusiasm and I hope he is right.

He calls for war crime trials if this medication is proven effective and other medical professionals have actively withheld it from patients.

I think it's about time...
