If this works, it will be good news. Chloroquine is an old, well-understood, inexpensive drug, that can be taken orally. It can have undesirable side effects.

The cost is 5 cents per pill. Today on Carlson’s show, a test of 40 victims in Italy and 100 success rate. Let’s hope and pray for this.

I heard about this study from radio talk show host, Kevin McCullough

Here is his tweet with video of what he discovered as he interviewed researchers:

For the scientifically inclined with the patience to read through the research study, here is the paper written about the results at Johns Hopkins University that replicated the French study:

Risky lots of side effects. Cheap. Simple.

Silver ions. Much Better. More effective. No cost. No downside

MORE FROM THIS ARTICLE:

(EXCERPT)

While unpublished yet, the first patient trial of Plaquenil for COVID-19, conducted in Marseilles, France, has reported encouraging early results. The trial, announced in a video on Monday, was led by Didier Raoult, a physician-scientist who has published on microbes for several decades.

According to a draft article by Raoult’s team and obtained by me, 36 patients were enrolled in the trial, including 16 infected controls and 20 treated patients. The test group was given 600 mg daily of Plaquenil, which is on the WHO’s List of Essential Medicines and has been used for malaria, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

At day three, the study reported, 50 percent of the treated group turned from positive to negative for the COVID-19 virus. By day six, 70 percent tested negative.

As intriguing, of the 20 test patients, six who were treated with both Plaquenil and the antibiotic azithromycin did even better, the team reported. Five of the six, or 83 percent, tested negative at day three. All six, 100 percent, tested negative at day six.

Meanwhile, the control patients largely stayed sick longer. On days three and six, just 6.3 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively, tested negative. The research paper did not include how they were alternatively treated.

Raoult’s findings prompted the French Minister of Health Tuesday to approve expanded treatment trials, with one commencing in Lille, according to France 3, a public television station.

The key word in the teaser is “anecdotal”.

The quinine derivatives are active against flagellated protozoans by disrupting metabolic process. Virii have no metabolic processes.

I’ve taken it for several deployments. Never had any side effects, but I’ve only taken it to avoid malaria.

They will need to figure out the dosing but I would take it and not worry about POSSIBLE side effects.

I read on another post here that tests with chloroquine and a broad spectrum antibiotic caused infected test subjects to test negative for the virus @ six days.

I’d suggest ramping up production of chloroquine now. I think it has a minimum shelf life of about five years.

It would be more than nice if this really does work. I don’t see how it is unique to this virus and would not work on flu or colds as an antiviral. It became ineffective as an anti malarial when the plasmodium developed a resistance in the late 50s.

I’ve taken Lariam also known as Mefloquine. I had some wild dreams with it.

Gave it up for Gin and Tonic. Much more satisfying. I only started drinking when I started working in the tropics. The best anti malarial is to not get bit by a carrying mosquito. Chewing Day’s Work tobacco all but totally discourages the little beggars from even alighting on you. It also makes you tick proof. It also rots your teeth but you won’t have worms.

Might explain the reason that some of those Asian countries might be on the downswing. Or why India hasnt shown to be hit.

This stuff proves to be the thing, and the GD Reds knew it and didnt say anything?

Big Pharma has been pushing the narrative that we need a vaccine the will take 18 months and billions and billions to produce. This has been misdirection on their part to get large chunks of federal funds.

If current drugs costing pennies can help where is the billions profit for big pharma. Big Pharma is in the business of killing people so they can make a buck!

Plaquenil is not that bad. It’s just not. In combo with a Z-pack (azithromycin) you wouldn’t know any side effects other than the Z-pack shuffle (diarrhea).

This doctor had a new video on CV-19 about 5 days a week. Grab a biochemistry/physiology book and read up.

I tried to get this from my doctor on Tuesday and he would NOT give it to me. But his assistant got on the phone and spent 15 minutes talking to the pharmacist.

I think they know it works and they are saving it for those who are exposed.

I have taken quinine before for restless leg, and it did not work, I did have some ringing in my ears.

Tonic water only has a tiny amount. Thanks to the Freeper who posted the map of Covid-19 vs. map of malaria.
