Six prominent doctors came to the White House steps this past week and said how good Hydroxychloroquine was and is. It can be a great help with Covid-19. No one is listening and the Press wouldn't print that.

I said “if I asked for Hydroxychloroquine would you prescribe it” and she said no.
Hydroxychloroquine.

has long history with treating malaria with Great results no fatalities. It’s my body, and it’s what I choose to counteract Covid. I was disappointed to hear she would not prescribe this medication.

Have any of you asked your physicians if they would prescribe this, God forbid we get Covid? I would think this would be high on the priority list for us seniors who would like this medications.

Thank you for your input.

Drug companies spend over $13 billion on drug ads that require a Dr. prescription, most of which are medically prohibited or will not be prescribed....$$ that could be spent on reducing costs of legitimately needed drugs. Like advertising cars to elementary schoolers. Get upset about that, not failing to followThe Supreme Leader’s bright ideas...like bleach.

Check out Budesonide nebulizer..it's had good results in other countries.

The Hippocratic oath says "First do no harm." You are visiting a physician, not the drive thru at McDonalds. It's your body but it is his license. It's your body but it is his/her training and experience with thousand's of bodies. Would you expect him to prescribe oxycodone because it's your body?

Here is a link to 65 studies, 39 or which were peer reviewed. Peer review does not always guarantee authenticity of results, the infamous Surgisphere study published in Lancet was peer reviewed and then retracted because of fraudulent data.

COVID-19 Treatment - Analysis of 65 global studies showing high effectiveness for early treatment

The most recent positive study was recently released by Henry Ford Health in Michigan and treatment with HCQ cut the death rate significantly in sick hospitalized patients, no heart-related side-effects. HCQ decreases mortality from 26.4% to 13.5% in 2451 patients.

Very interesting, clear there is much to learn managing this disease, thanks for posting.

The Government Peter Navarro cornered the market and bought 60 million douses causing shortages of people needing medication for Lupus a other autoimmune diseases. Now he’s trying to dump it.

Are you a doctor or Scientist?

My husband is on this medicine, but is the-inhaler and seems to be helping with his breathing so far.

From what I have gathered, sadly this has become political and prescribing it has been restricted according to political beliefs. It has been proven effective in countries where the death/recovery time has been dramatically reduced. And others say, not so .... what do you believe ? This is exactly why politics should be kept out of everything.

With the onset of COVID-19, I’m sure that the same thing is happening with HCQ— Yale professors and doctors have no scientific proof and are probably cashing in on claims that it could have an effect on the virus— probably for their own personal gains.[QUOTE]


Possibly the most error filled comment in a thread that's full of them

HCQ costs about $5 for a weeks supply. There is no patent on this drug and it is made worldwide by several companies. There are ZERO Doctors, epidemiologists, or scientists who are getting paid to endorse this drug. If they recommend it, it's simply because they are getting good results.

Want to explore Big Pharma drug corruption? Eight members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) expert COVID-19 Treatment Guideline Panel are on Gilead's payroll. Gilead makes Remdesivir, the drug that cost hospitals $3000-$5000 per patient and has no statistical effect on covid 19 deaths. The NIH panel allowed the Remdesivir trial to change their endpoints during the trial from measuring effects on mortality to effects on hospital stay.

If readers want to explore 65 studies on HCQ, both good and bad, see post #54 and forget all the political chatter.

If you want a politician reality star to be your doctor there has to be something wrong.

Do you have malaria? NO
Do you have Lupus? NO

I have lupus, I take hydroxychloroquine, I had to go to my eye doctor all the time to stay on the medicine. I have to be monitored to take this drug. It is a serious no joke drug and if I did not need it I would not take it.


When you read the disclaimer and it is longer than the way it can help you ....then it is a serious drug.

Repeat after me, the president is not a doctor. Listen to a real one.

Thank you for your intelligent post. It makes the most sense of anything I have read so far.

I doubt your statement regarding "side effects." They gave the stuff to EVERYONE that was shipped to Vietnam so if your statement is true then thousands of Vets could be suing the gov. for poisoning them. I believe that your "side effects" have been disproved.

A doctor in Texas is recommending it as a treatment for the virus.
I think it looks promising.

For once I will agree with you.

The sheer politics with this virus is staggering....from endorsements from politicians, witch doctors and the like.

I have been taking this drug for about two years or more for rheumatoid arthritis, and it works great, but never considered it as anything for this virus. I was told about heart, and was checked out......need vision test strictly every 12 months specific for side effects, but other than some minor side effects, it does well.

Why folks have become so distrustful of the medical field unless they have the same political leanings as you is well beyond me. I cannot imagine asking a doctor to whom I go to for help, about how he is registered and how he votes. Nor can I imagine calling my political party for endorsement of a doctor of doctors advice.

The results of the study used in the Newsweek opinion piece and its author are somewhat suspect. For additional insight you can view:

“When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective,” Risch explained. “Especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.”

Earlier this month, a large peer-reviewed study found that hydroxychloroquine cut the mortality rate of COVID-19 by more than half and, contrary to previous claims by faulty studies, had no adverse effects on the heart.
