After doing much research on Hydroxychloroquine, I had a visit with my Primary care provider. During the visit I asked them about conditions like asthma and diabetes being in the high risk group, and if Hydroxychloroquine would be helpful in treating these conditions, as well as having prophylactic effects for CoV.

The doctor smiled and shut down the conversation saying they couldn't recommend it as the "guidance" for these conditions requires conventional treatments with inhalers, steroids, metformin, etc. Also, the pharmacy would not fill the scrip, and the insurance wouldn't pay for it.

I asked about the anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic effects of HCQ, and again she claimed the guidance was against this form of treatment.

The doctor was very familiar with HCQ treating Malaria, being from India, but I was able to determine their hands were tied on the matter due to them not being able to deviate from the medical 'GUIDANCE…unless that guidance were to change.

She was happy to refer me to a specialist instead…

Who is writing this GUIDANCE, and how can we change it to enable doctors to recommended cures, if they are otherwise under regulations to recommend treatments instead?
