ZINC (& antibiotics): it was ALWAYS zinc that was the key player in 'early treatment' algorithms to combat COVID virus especially in initial viral replication phase, IVERMECTIN & HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE
were ZINC ionophores as zinc transporters across the host cell membranes; without ZINC, all was useless; ZINC & antibiotics were critical especially as to the florid pneumonia late COVID
antibiotics had key anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties along with anti-bacterial (DOXY etc.)
Thus Quercetin, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin were ionophores for zinc, zinc was what disturbed and impacted viral replication impacting RNA dependent-RNA polymerase’s role in viral replication:
‘RNA‑dependent RNA‑polymerase (RdRp) and 3C‑like proteinase (3CLpro) are two main enzymes that play a key role in the replication of SARS‑CoV‑2. Zinc (Zn) has strong immunogenic properties and is known to bind to a number of proteins, modulating their activities. Zn also has a history of use in viral infection control.’
"They" told us to stay home from the hospital until we couldn't breathe anymore.
That is like telling someone with a broken leg to stay home from the hospital until gangrene develops.
Dr. Alexander you are a genius. You've just destroyed Fauci's business plan by divulging this information about zinc ionophores. Thank you for this golden gem of information. I am among other things, a journeyman Carpenter, and we have known for centuries that galvanized metal (zinc rich) flashings used on the 2nd to last course of cedar shakes inhibits the growth of moss, molds and fungus on the roof of chalets in climates such as the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Zelenko's formula 'Z-Stack' you mentioned at the close of your article should be on everyone's daily vitamin shelf. Incidentally, I also am a silversmith, and use silver as a quick anti-microbial by handling or actually placing a pure silver pick in my mouth to fend off a potential sore throat on occasion. Would silver act as zinc does or is too risky to use it the same way? I have used colloidal silver many times, with success and no known ill effects. I do also use onion when I take zinc (quercetin in the onion), and Vitamin D. (The local doctors seem to find me a curiosity...at 67 years in age...no regular meds...healthy complexion and no obvious signs of age.) They all look terrible...I'm afraid they might stroke out when I tell them I want some Hydroxychloroquine and some Ivermectin for my personal use as ionophores in my prophylactic nourishment schedule. All the best Doc. Thank you so much. I do hope Trump gets in and puts you in charge of the lettered agencies. Perhaps I would consider coming along to watch your six for you. God bless you.
