covid 19
chloroquine diphosphate salt
Morning anons,
This is about saving your grandparents, should the need arise and they get hit with this virus. Dug deeper. Common sense on the little research I have done shows that all people over 45 should be packing a little zinc to get ready, should the infection hit them. There is a treatment that is being used in South Korea, that is not being used in Italy. That treatment might be the difference in the death numbers among elderly between the two nations.
tl:dr
1) If zinc can get into the human cell where the virus is replicating, it can stop the replication of the virus. (see vid related 17 minutes)
2) Problem is, when you take zinc, very little gets across cell membrane where the virus lives inside the human cells.
3) Question: How to get the zinc into the cell so it can block virus replication.
4) Answer: Very old treatment for malaria shuttles the zinc into the cell apparently. It is an old medication, off patent, inexpensive, but needs prescription and does have a few known side effects.
5) Caveat for any docs out there. So far have no double blind studies yet, but, apparently having good success with elderly who are not zinc deficient, and who are given the chloroquine at 500mg a day. See vid for current protocol info.
6) This being the case, obviously if an elderly patient is low on zinc, there will be nothing for the chloroquine to shuttle into the cell to kill the virus.
7) Conclusion is that all elderly people should make sure they do some zinc packing now, so they are not zinc deficient if they get the virus and they need to use the chloroquine to get that zinc into their cells to kill the virus.
8)This does not mean over do zinc. It means making sure you have enough. Most of it will sit in the blood, and in the space between the cells if there is no shuttle medication.
9)If you are older than 45, Get some, and follow the label instructions until the virus passes by.
10) Zinc is antiviral anyway, and may lessen your chances of getting the virus in the first place.
Here is the tweet from last nights notable:
Posting on last nights Notable about the "chloroquine diphosphate salt + zinc treatment combo to block COVID-19 viral enzyme @ 500 mg per day of chloroquine + zinc for 10 days" that is coming out of South Korea

Here is a 17 minute youtube from a Doctor who is digging on this, and did a great vid for lay people and US docs on the current understanding of what is going on with the chloroquine - zinc treatment for covid 19 that seems to be stopping the virus. Highly recommend for physicians to share, and keep an eye on this. So will embed here for anons.
