You would need to ask who is also taking a zinc supplement.
Based on what I little I know about how it works, is the hydroxychloroquine causes cells to take up more zinc, the zinc is what hinders/slows the virus replication process. Zpac is for secondary infection. That said, your idea certainly has merit, imo.

Thank you but I’m not sure that you would require a zinc supplement to have enough in your system to effectively ward off the virus. I guess you would need to talk to a cellular biologist to determine what level of whole-body profusion and intercellular zinc is required to prevent a virus from replicating.

I also suppose that a rheumatologist could provide a questionnaire for his customers to evaluate the nature of their diet over a certain period of time to determine if they are ingesting a zinc-rich diet and then assign a probability rating of success based on that factor.

Examples of foods high in zinc include:

oysters, 3 ounces (oz): 74 mg.
beef patty, 3 oz: 5.3 mg.
Alaska king crab, 3 oz: 6.5 mg.
fortified breakfast cereal, 3/4 cup serving: 3.8 mg.
cooked lobster, 3 oz: 3.4 mg.
cooked pork chop loin, 3 oz: 2.9 mg.
baked beans, 1/2 cup serving: 2.9 mg.
dark meat chicken, 3 oz: 2.4 mg.

Zinc, L-lysine which destroys the virus lipid coating, Vitamin C, there are a host of herbals that help. Grapefruit Seed Extract, (GSE), which is an herbal for respiratory problems, anti-biotic for the lungs obviously. Garlic, selenium, HBT, which also destroys the lipid coating. Turmeric, gingko, ginseng, ginger which all support the immune system.

For a twenty year old, I do not look a day over 74. :-P
