Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Stephen Smith shared some very exciting news Wednesday night on The Ingraham Angle. Dr. Smith revealed that in his treatment of coronavirus victims he has not seen a single patient under the age of 70 was not diabetic, pre-diabetic or obese. Dr. Steven Smith then pointed out that not a single coronavirus patient under his care who was on the hydroxychloroquine regimen needed to be intibated.

Intubated.
And the more successful this regimen is against COVID-19, the more hostile MSNBCNNBCBS will be toward it.

Withholding of this treatment for political reason or any other non-medical reason is medical malpractice. GET ON WITH IT.

I believe New York has been using it for almost 2 week. Where is the result?

I am a pharmacist and worked in the drug industry. My wife has been on hydroxychlorquine for 20 years for an auto-immune disorder and her brother, a physician, has been on it over 30 years for arthritis. Both have never had a side effect and are monitored for eye issues which can occur rarely in long term use. There is no reason not to use this with a Z-pack if you are diagnosed. Demand it from your physician or find one who will do it. There is no reason people should either progress to hospitalization or worse when there is a chance. I recognize why Dr. Fauci has to be conservative, but doctors in the field need to be using this.

Until a standard protocol is reached-
Michigan east of state Detroit.. has been hit hard.. per telephone game from friend of a friend so take fwiw- the hospitals are overflowing, morgue stacked , and funeral homes donating floor sample caskets.. it is so bad.. so, this flu- is real and horrid.
But: look at who it impacts- diabetic, obese, BMI over 30... immune suppressed.
25% of people who have it don’t know they have it, most have mild cold or allergy feel.. so, a shut down for a short time makes sense.. Mich Gov Half Whitmer wants to extend her emergency powers 70 days.. pray they don’t give her the power..

I'm beginning to think that it is unethical to allow anyone to take a placebo in a control group. Experiment and compare various treatments perhaps, but we have enough data to take action.

Dr. Smith, the dims and msm are not happy with you for expressing optimism that beating the virus may be in sight. However, if this treatment is legit, fantastic. Let's roll. Asap.

My 2 cents is the docs should use the drugs. Makes the most sense at this time. Safe and apparently effective. So, I am an RN by education. If I were in dire straights like the high risk groups, I would demand-beg for it. As PDT has said, what do you have to lose? Later down the road, the vaccine will come. Serology will be very interesting. I love epidemiology.

There will be lines of "experts" looking at lost grant money or direct profits for their "vaccine", not to mention the FDA exposed as a roadblock to effective treatment, who will be taking the mic to renounce this home-brew treatment that has not been thoroughly tested and proven effective, demanding it be banned or very tightly controlled as a "last chance". There are TRILLIONS at stake here, a good chunk going into universities, laboratories, hospitals, first responders and our usual and expandable line-up of "heroes". Oh, and you'll likely get some "quit complaining" government cheese in the mail, too.
Don't forget to get your "USA COVID-19 STRONG!" t-shirt.

The great thing about this is no amount of obfuscation will stop docs from using this once there are more stories like this.
Our surge plan has increased our bed capacity to 80 and drastically changed every department in the hospital to accommodate intubated patients.
Consequently yesterday, we had 10 patients in our entire hospital yesterday. Our emergency room flow has been light, although a lot of PPE in use.
We’re all pretty stressed out waiting for what we’ve planned. Some more than others. But it’s wall-to-wall “plan for the absolute worst” every minute. There is no “business as usual”. Meetings, emails, talks in the hallway, ideas being floated and picked up or pushed aside. Im prepared to take care of a vented patient for the first time in 12 years because I’m one of the few in-house nurses who’s ever done it.
Then, the patients we DO see might be infected. Rule-out COVID are the scariest. We all are concerned for our safety and the safety of our families.
So, not all hospitals are treating massive amounts of COVID patients. But we all prepare. Our surge plan accommodates overflow patients from neighboring hospitals as well as those in our community.
If there is a pill combo to prevent this terrifying prospect?? Oh boy...there’ll be a mutiny against anyone who prevents our using it.

I studied in the laboratory under Dr. Stephen Smith's father, Dr. Leon Smith, who was reknown worldwide as a great infectionologist and truly a genius/legend in the world of infectious diseases.
Stephen Smith made a good case on Laura's show and this treatment must be pursued. The intellectual experts Fauci and Birx are fine in the classroom and at the CDC. They are not hands-on in the field. The people want to see results now, not wait for models and charts. The big Pharm companies can continue working on a vaccine, but in the meantime, we need something right now.
Please President Trump enforce this treatment today.

… And yet Democrat governors Michigan, Nevada etc. are using their official powers (even if they don't have them) to ban the use of Chloroquine. Orders from Soros, Pelosi, Jarrett ?? This should be looked into.

True, all of the evidence supporting the use of hydroxychloroquine is anecdotal. But that evidence is piling up to form a small mountain. This is not the first tril study to be published. Its not the second, or even third. I believe it is the 9th that I have seen. Of those 9 studies only one, performed in CHina under less than ideal conditions, showed no improvement. At this point every patient testing positive should be offered this drug. The side effects etc are well known and almost non existant for short term use,
The FDA finally approved the off label use of this drug for coronavirus last week (Off Label means that the drug already approved for one use can be used for illness' that are not supported by the original regulatory filing). The Michigan gov has flip flopped on his ban and earlier this week Italy announced that it one region every COVID19 positive patient will be put on this drug. So watch Italy, if this is the magic bullet it should start to show by the end of next week.
This is a game changer, if the data continues this old drug could turn a national emergency into a mild annoyance almost overnight.
Of course the major producer of hydroxychloroquin is China.

This is the bad news that horrifies democrats. They have been so close so many times to getting Trump and implementing socialism and have been foiled every time. The American people will see that they pay the price for their crimes.

When this treatment has racked up enough "anecdotal" evidence to be officially endorsed, hopefully soon, will they march Madcow and her ilk in front of a firing squad for seditious undermining of our government's efforts to manage a national crisis? Just wondering.

#15 it needs to be changed from "Anecdotal" to Antidotal.
Ask a dr. why aspirin works and they will say they don't know. People had trouble with this drug in LONG TERM USE. 6-10 days is not long term.
Speaking for myself, I'd rather be alive and blind then dead with 20/20 vision.

Some hope and optimism for #5, I live in Wayne county (one of three hardest hit). We have less than 30 deaths in the entire state and under 6000 diagnosed cases statewide. I think what came through to you were some of the predictions they are trying to scare us with. The telephone game at it's finest : )
To all of my Ldot friends and family, stay safe, stay well, stay smart.

In response to the question by poster 19, they believe the hydroxychlorquine pokes a hole in the fatty layer of the virus which then allows zinc to penetrate and kill the virus. My understanding is the Z pack reduces inflammation in the lungs. Many people are taking zinc (Cold-ease) with the combination.

The other bit of information which is out there, but AFAIK, not yet being gathered together is whether the many patients who have been on hydrochloroquine for years for other medical conditions are prevented from getting the Wuhan flu.
The patients exist, are known to their prescribing doctors. All that needs to be done is a careful survey of docs to find out what the number of patients on that drug is total, and how many have gotten infected. If the answer is "none", that is great news, it would show a prophylactic effect, and we could consider using it more widely, in some form of a preventative. Perhaps not for everyone all the time, but the docs could figure out how to best apply it if it prevents infection.

Why are French COVID-19 patients still dying in record numbers? Are they all old patients or patients with high risk diseases?

#6-"unethical to allow anyone to take a placebo in a control group."
That's exactly why the French Dr. refused control groups.....it wasn't fair to deny them a proven remedy.

#19. Dr. Rimbault in France explained what hydroxy does. It changes the pH in the lungs to make the environment inhospitable to the virus so replication can't take place.

Back in the mid-1950s, there was a long article in a professional statistical journal protesting how unethical it had been to distribute the Salk vaccine without proper statistical evidence. The "anecdotal" statistically inadequate evidence was persuasive, and we ended the polio epidemic. Sometimes you can't afford to dot every i and cross every t!

I have read elsewhere that throughout the continent of Africa where malaria is prevalent and there is widespread use of hydroxychloquorine, there is very low spread as yet of the ChiComLab Virus.
Just checked worldometers, and unfortunately don't see a count for continents.
Then I searched for articles on Africa and there were only a couple wondering why Africa has had the lowest spread so far and admitting they had no idea!

Some of his patients needed a ventilator after a couple of days of treatment, but none after five days of treatment. I would like to know if untreated patients (that is, patients not treated with Chloroquine) show a similar pattern of disease progression. If you are in the hospital but can hold out for five days without needing a ventilator, how likely are you to recover without needing a ventilator? Not disrespecting, just wondering.

If this is true, this is definitely a game changer. President Trump, here's your second opinion. I suggest that YOU contact him. Please keep your medical advisers away from him (CDC, Dr. Fauci or Dr. Brix).
