we marched into the doctors office, and told him that unless he prescribed the Choloroquine cocktail, that he would be sued by that afternoon. we demanded it under right to try, etc. and basically scared the living shit out of the doc. he prescribed it by the book. and that saved my dad's life.

I just thought I wanted you to know that anything medical related on T_D, I always enjoy reading your responses to see where you stand on it. Lots of my jargon/acronyms you sometimes use that I don't understand, but I run it by my spouse who is in the healthcare field and she fills me in. But none the less, thanks for hanging out around here!

No kidding. This virus is insidious and sometimes your o2 sat will be going down before symptom onset. Then your getting no saturation and the virus is destroying you and bacteria finds itself in an opportune evironment to propagate . Bought a pulse oximeter for my parents and make them check themselves q8. I at least want them to have the heads up if God forbid the worst happens

Pulse ox is a very useful tool. Inexpensive and simple to use.

Does it require needles?

The virus seems to be interfering with porphyrin metabolism and possibly removing iron from the hemoglobin. Some docs have said the COVID-19 patients seem to tolerate the low O2 sats better than expected and do better with lots of oxygen and no ventilator. I wonder if these processes are making the sats look a little lower than they actually are.

Also, the zinc allows the body to make more metallothionine, which helps pick up extra iron and decreases oxidative damage from the free iron. Zinc also interferes with virus production inside the cell.

they followed the cocktail. HCQ, Z-Pac, and Zinc supplement. they say the HCA allows the Zinc into the cells, and it is what kills the virus. I'm not a virologist, but thats what I understand. the Z-Pac is for the inevitable secondary bacterial infections...

Your dad was in bad shape, and the second major mechanism of action for HCQ kicked in: just as in the case of malaria, it preserved the ability of the red blood cells to keep their iron.

Excellent job, pede!

I thank my President. I wouldn't even know about it if it weren't for him. Our magnificent president saved my father's life.

I'd have done the same. Well done to you for doing your homework and not accepting what the doctor was saying.

What is the prescribing doctor saying about the situation now? Is he now prescribing to other patients?

Best wishes to your Dad and family.

The doc can't look at us in the eye, and acts sheepish. I think he is just a pathetic leftist pig... and knows he was wrong. they had the meds in the in-house pharmacy... he had the first round within an hour of prescribing it.

I haven't rubbed it in too much, but I have made a few comments. probably shouldn't have, but I couldn't help it.

You should inform the White House about your experience.
