Off topic: Means of potentially lowering Covid-19 complications and death.

                                             First, I want to say to all our Victorian friends how we sympathise with you during your forced containment, we all feel for you, whether your frustrations be cabin fever or inability to get some relief from the gold fever. Soon you will be out there again with renewed excitement and vigor, those nuggets will not be safe anymore and the gold price might even be much higher.
Secondly, I want to ask you to put aside whatever political philosophy you adhere to and consider all that I have to say. I can’t stand by and hold my tongue when one of you, your family or friends could die because I didn’t speak out.

It is clear especially in the US, that what a person understands about this virus is directly related to the political leaning of the source from which they glean their knowledge, whether it be from the Left, Right, or straight up and down. Friends this virus is apolitical, it doesn’t care who you vote for, it simply wants to use your body as a breeding platform. Also, how you are treated after contracting this virus is often dependent upon the political leaning of the state authorities and even medical advisors who direct them.

So, let’s put politics aside from this, politics has no business dictating how your Doctor should treat you, they swore to abide by the Hippocratic oath and do nothing that would knowingly harm you, that means we should pay attention to what they are saying, and thousands are saying the same thing, and that is what Adrian recently pointed out, Zinc is a key component to stopping the corona virus and rendering it impotent.

Please don’t throw up your hands and dismiss all this as a crackpot idea before you consider carefully what I have to say, it could save your life.

Zinc is a very potent antiviral, it works by interfering with the transcription machinery of the virus which it uses to replicate itself. All corona viruses and most viruses for that matter share a very similar RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme mechanism or transcription machine. A problem arises though, Zinc must be within the cell before or very soon after the virus gains entry so it can stop it slicing up and rearranging your cells DNA into copies of itself.

Globally, an estimated 2 billion of us have a diet seriously deficient in Zinc. Countries with intensive agriculture production are the worst as heavy cropping depletes ground reserves of this mineral. Even good sources of Zinc such as beef and lamb if raised on deficient land will not nourish you sufficiently.
There is more to the story though. Zinc and other minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium cannot just knock on the door of a cell and gain entry, it requires a transporter molecule with a key to the cell wall. The transporter must lock onto the mineral ion of Zinc, or whatever and channel it into the cell interior where it is then ready and waiting for any unwanted invader.

If you’ve ever suffered night cramps where your muscles lock up in an excruciatingly painful attempt to tear themselves free from ligament and bone, then you were likely experiencing a lack of magnesium in your muscle cells. In the past if you were a diabetic who tend to suffer this regularly you may have been prescribed not magnesium, but quinine. This is because quinine is an ionophore, meaning it is a transport molecule that enables magnesium to enter the cell and relieve the source of the cramp. Quinine can also transport Zinc.

There were many side effects that could occur with heavy or long-term use of quinine, which was the primary malaria drug, so it was purified to chloroquine and then later hydroxychloroquine which has almost no side effects if used in appropriate dosages.
This is one of mechanisms by which Zinc combined with hydroxychloroquine can lessen the likelihood of complications from Covid-19.
Another mechanism by which hydroxychloroquine alone can interfere with the virus is by binding to sialic acid receptors which lessens the availability of the ACE2 cell entry points, stopping the virus outside the cell wall, and thirdly by raising the endosomal pH which like Zinc makes the environment more hostile to the replication process.

Many of the studies purported to show none, little, or even adverse effects from hydroxychloroquine either didn’t use Zinc or they started the protocol much too late and in the later used toxic dosages. Remember I said earlier that Zinc had to be available when the virus entered the cell to offer any benefit. Giving hydroxychloroquine once the viral load has spread to reach a point where breathing difficulty arises, is far too late, and this is what many of the studies did. But contrary to what you will read on many politically biased sources there are loads of studies showing early intervention often reduces the symptoms to that of a simple cold, even in susceptible persons. Links are provided below.

Ultimately, I want to share an interesting point that may have been posted elsewhere, I don’t know, but if so, it will be reinforced. There is a common molecule that is a Zinc ionophore (transporter) and it so happens that if we are deficient in Zinc, we will most likely be deficient in this also. It’s called Quercetin, and it is readily available as a supplement. I would advise anyone who suspects they may have caught the virus and your Doctor will not provide hydroxychloroquine, to take Quercetin along with Zinc preferably well before you feel any chest discomfort. It will not provide the other two mechanisms of action that hydroxychloroquine does, but there’s no harm in trying, it is a simple supplement. Some Doctors also suggest taking Vitamin C along with this as there could be a greater synergistic effect.

This has made me realise I need to increase the amount of seaweed in my garden to ensure my homegrown veges are rich in Zinc and all the other minerals now becoming so depleted in commercial crops.

So, if we pay attention to the Doctors who have no vested interest in all this, some of whom have since been fired from their positions, and or humiliated and discredited by biased governance and politically steered press for simply doing their job of looking out for the good of us, common folk, we will get to the truth.

Politically motivated medical advisors are calling for gold standard study results before they will endorse a treatment regimen, meanwhile people are dying while they wait, the truth is already observationally available and under the circumstances provide abundant proof of the effectiveness and tolerance.
Countries that have employed the Zinc+ hydroxychloroquine protocol early in the disease progression have had fewer deaths.

Direct links to some studies that show benefits if the dosage is not inflated to toxic levels and intervention is implemented before complications onset. Had they also used Zinc orders of magnitude better results could have been realized, because of all 3 modes of operation in action.

Anybody carer or otherwise who is covid 19 + should not be going into aged care homes period. They should be quarantined and replaced with healthy carers and staff. All aged care workers should be being tested for the virus every couple of days. They should go directly home after their shift and not come in contact with anybody else and should be extremely virus concious far more so than somebody who is not working with ailing aged people. If they knowingly have covid19  and go to work in an aged care home and transfer the virus to people there and that /those people/persons  die then they have commited manslaughter at the very least.
