Gullible perhaps?

Multiple studies have shown it does have a benefit. Gullible perhaps?

How many patients have you treated?

In regards to your earlier comment about asymptomatics. They don't need HCQ or any drug, as their immune system beats the virus without drugs.

Thanks for that clarification. Makes sense.

IlIt has been in South America, France, India with good results.
I personally called the nursing home in Texas where it was uses once again successfully (Even after deaths and positive tests, Texas City doctor declares victory with Trump-touted drug - HoustonChronicle.com)

QUOTE=Happinow;1810026]We all have our views on this medication to treat Covid. I am a believer that It can help with Covid symptoms. With that said, I went to my primary care Dr. today for a physical. We got into a Covid discussion and I asked her if I was symptomatic with Covid, would she prescribe Hydroxychloroquine. Her answer was no. 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.[/QUOTE]

I think it’s best to first define how we will be using it !! - I have read that there is a much better chance of benefit in prevention than treatment.

[marysackiss]

The VooDoo Dr from Huston promotes no masks, but, use this drug that does not get, pay attention to the real science!

[Mary Windsor]

Interesting that you’ve been taking this medication. I have had scleroderma for many years, yet no doctor or consultant has ever suggested taking it. Perhaps it’s because I have heart complications, but what benefits did you find after starting it?

yes , Used for auto immune disease to suppress the immune system. Why would you want to suppress your immune system for a virus??? Doesn't make sense.

Also, a 12 old neighbor was going to Africa with his physician Dad and got malaria shots , or medication , he never woke the next morning. This was 10 yrs ago and I don't know if it was hydroxycloroquine.

I am incredulous that on a forum such as this, people recommending drugs, asking for drugs based on a forum, searching for YouTube videos to validate a drug.

And at the same time, ignoring medical experts, and ignoring what they say.

All seem tied to a political stance. It is hard to believe adults can be like that.

I feel the same way about dispensing medical advice on a forum.

We are not allowed to discuss certain items on here, but we are free to dispense medical opinions, try to validate certain drugs.

I cannot get out of my mind, a young man recently in news (not fake...VERY real) right before he died from Corona, saying he attended a party because he "thought" the virus was a hoax.

Yet our government does not warn, but just enables this stuff.

I pray we have very few cases like the young man, led to die because of tripe being said, NOT in the interest of anything other than P

I haven't seen Dr Immanuel's evidence, but I have read a lot of studies by other Doctors

Many of them show positive results. You keep saying "overwhelming evidence is against the drug" which just shows your ignorance of science.

If you have bad experience form doctor would that be consider a quack doctor? IMO there big majority doctors that prey on gullible women, especially older women prescribing 3 or more drugs day. If you have to have day calendar tray fill of pills you have to take maybe you’re doctor quack? I seen this especially in nursing homes. Keep them drugged up like zombie’ s.

FDA commish today...

"“I think we can all agree that the issue of hydroxychloroquine has become politicized,” Hahn said. “And it's a shame because … public health emergencies shouldn't be about politics.”

Hydroxychloroquine returns as wedge between President Trump, health advisers - ABC News

I find it appalling in our country (supposedly not of the third world) to allow such reckless behavior as this to continue.

Calling someone "ignorant" and saying someone is "ignorant of science" are two different things.
Never was it said someone was ignorant.

Hydrochloroquine is an anti inflammatory

[George Page]

Interesting, we can buy tobacco and alcohol which we know are harmful yet we cannot get Hydrochloroquine because we don’t know if it is helpful.
