ZINC

THE CONFOUNDING VARIABLE IS ZINC

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT HOW IS THIS NOT PROMULGATED YET https://twitter.com/realchrishynes/status/1247657897754079232">https://twitter.com/realchris...
here& #39;s the fucking deal

to replicate a study where HCQ showed high promise, make sure pts/subjects consume a diet high in zinc, or, like, supplement

to replicate a study where HCQ was nearly ineffective, make sure to do the opposite
layman tldr

—Zn cockblocks *COV2& #39;s replication game in the cytosol
—normally v little Zn there; most extracellular
—HCQ: "zinc ionophore" (pulls Zn into cell)

but:
—old ppl often low in Zn
—also, amerifat diet generally: too much Cu vs lowish Zn
—take a guess whether US hospital food is any better
—note Zn doesn& #39;t accumulate. not fat-soluble. extracellular zinc can therefore vary widely day-to-day
bonus fact

the best, widely-available OTC zinc ionophore is quercetin. if you were MY patient i& #39;d recommend you supplement Zn & quercetin during this time, so that IF you contract C19
—ensures low viral load onset
—you& #39;ll be set so if you need hospitalization, the HCQ will work
don& #39;t go nuts

target ~60mg Zn & ~1g quercetin daily, divided in 2 or 3 doses

note 1: get quercetin either with bromelain included, or acquire separately. quercetin isn& #39;t very orally bioavailable elsewise

note 2: Zn as picolinate or monomethionine, bioavailability reasons again
