I have seen firsthand what to do and what not to do in COVID cases. First of all, there are the serious COVID cases where oxygenation, IV pressors agents as dopamine and ventilation is required. Many of those that did require ventilation did not live. There is about a 87-91 % mortality.
For those that are ill but do not require ventilation. I have used IV hydration with Vitamin C, other minerals especially zinc, and vitamins. After a high dose infusion of 10 grams or more I usually give the best antioxidant . This antioxidant is gluthathione. Hydration is so important in COVID infection. I have seen many patients whom have residual coughing, fever and aches post their initial infection.
In our New York City Fairfield offices we are offering our antioxidant hydration drips.
We do know from SARS ( 2002-2003) that steroids should NOT be used as it will prolong viral shedding. We also know that ganciclovir and ribavirin simply do NOT work. There are other RNA polymerase inhibitor under investigation: Remdesvir, Favipravir and Periclovir. Both interferon alpha and beta are being investigated. The mechanism of action of chloroquine is not known and still being studied.
Nitazoxanide is also being investigated
Until tomorrow…
