LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - April 8, 2020 - Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump has been repeatedly pushing hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug, despite the fact it hasn’t been clinically tested to treat COVID-19. But this local doctor says he’s prescribed it and it’s worked, leaving ill patients symptom free in 8-12 hrs.
Dr. Anthony Cardillo said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients.
“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free,” said Cardillo. “So clinically I am seeing a resolution.”
Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has Kalifornia locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank.
He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication.
He added that the drug should not be prescribed for those who are presenting only mild symptoms, as there are concerns about shortages for patients with other conditions who need to take the drug on a regular basis.
A Denver family physician has been prescribing a controversial medication to his patients, sick with coronavirus, and believes it is yielding positive results. Dr. Constantine Tsamasfyros, who has been a primary care doctor in Denver for nearly 50 years, said he has prescribed a combination of hydroxychloroquine (also known as Plaquenil) and an antibiotic called azithromycin to about a dozen patients over the last few weeks.
“They all did well. They seemed to reverse their symptoms in a day or two,” said Tsamasfyros, who said he absolutely believed the medication was working.
“If they’re drowning, you either pull them out of the water or at least throw them a rope to come out,” he said while explaining his decision to prescribe the medication.
Tsamasfyros said the medications made sense to him on a scientific level and through his common sense.
Asked if he planned to continue prescribing it to patients exhibiting signs of coronavirus, Tsamasfyros said, “absolutely”.
The anecdotal evidence is piling up.
