Coronavirus survivors support America's Frontline Doctor's virus ‘cure'
2021-08-01
[news.com.au] People who claim they were cured of coronavirus by hydroxychloroquine have come forward in support of doctors who have been "attacked" for saying the controversial drug works.

Dr Stella Immanuel, one of the doctors who went viral for saying she’d cured COVID-19, took to Twitter to ask for people’s help, with friends and family of survivors also coming forward.

"We are being attacked, ridiculed and discredited," she said.

"We need our patients to SPEAK UP. If you have been cured by this drug, share your story online using this hashtag. #HCQWorks."

The Houston GP said she had successfully treated more than 350 coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Zithromax, an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections.

Hydroxychloroquine is used for treatment of malaria and certain auto-immune diseases but doctors have claimed it works for COVID-19.

It’s also gained the support of President Donald Trump and other politicians.

In Australia its use for treatment of COVID-19 is considered "off-label".

"There is currently no clear data to inform clinical guidance on the use, dosing, or duration for COVID-19 treatment," the Therapeutic Goods Administration says.

A small group of Metro-Atlanta Fire Fighter / EMS / Hazmat severely infected with C-19 back in early May or June of 2020, were offered to be a part of a small test group of C-19 infected 1st responders.

They were given some "Test Drug" after signing a bunch of wavier pages.

According one of the participants that I know. He told me he was feeling better on the 2nd day. Clear headed and doing light work in the yard on day 5.

He was back at work after being bored and sitting on his butt for the mandatory 2 weeks.

So it seems we are not getting the FULL facts of viable Treatments options?

Why so?
I doubt we will ever know and that is the fallacy of having a Government and the Main Stream & Social Media managing "acceptable" public Info for Political reasons, agendas and raking in $$$$$ while doing it.

But, the Internet is steadily leaking the truth and is being found trusted by more citizens everyday, than what should be the Official and Trusted sources.

#8  Well over 30 years they have waged a war on cancer. The common cold a similar effort but not nearly so expensive but now money is being thrown at that big time. People have found solutions and by word of mouth the information is passed. A medical doctor can only recommend FDA approved medical treatments. I recall a patient asked about vitamin E for her bruising.His response was I cannot recommend that then opens his desk draw but I take them. So each person must choose their own path. Media is so corrupted these days I prefer on the ground day to day person to person input of information. There are many different personalities. Some are sheep some are rams. I maintain a balance, a steady state. I trust my own judgement at this time being the most reliable. Absolutely no fear.

#7  there was a reason they were not tested by doses.

#6  Lord Garth, as I pointed out earlier, they were designed to "fail" by waiting until the patient was very sick and then administering an overdose of the medicine with the objective of "proving" it didn't work.

#5  pretty solid results with Ivermectin in past few months; other drugs not advanced but some show lots of promise

the clinical research with HCQ never really tested dosage very well
