Dosage might be different and longer prone than a Malaria patient. Long stemming effects of a drug taken 5 times a week for three weeks might have worse effects than a drug taken 5 times for one week. We're in uncharted territories, so for you to say there's no way is about as assured as me saying that anything is possible. Only time will tell in this case, but even if it isn't something as dire as cancer, other side effects could be as debilitating.

Because these are known drugs that are safe for most people, if this works as well as advertised we will know by this time next week. The clinical trials won’t be done or published, but the early returns will be obvious as the claims are patient improvements in 4-6 hours. I like that there is science for why these would work, but remain cautiously optimistic because the clinical trials to date are flawed and the work of one family practitioner is anecdotal, and not anything close to definitive enough to roll out everywhere.
If these drugs work as advertised the only people this won’t help are ones with pre-existing arrhythmia issues and or allergies to these drugs. Let’s hope this isn’t much to do about nothing. |

Can we nominate Zelenko for the Nobel Prize in Medicine when this is all said and done?

This is great but it sounds like another one of these things we’ve been hearing about that won’t be available any time soon to help when the need is highest which is apparently in these next few weeks. |

One of the jobs I had to shut down was installing crown and building some cabinetry for a doctor at the local hospital.
This morning was the day we had planned to get back on it... he called almost in tears saying the hospital is almost at a breaking point. Some of the doctors and nurses dont think they can cope with it, some questioning their ability to hang on to little strength they have left. I have the strength to work in dangerous situations and in situations some shouldnt or wouldnt.... I could never be in the medical field. I told him us that arent are truly grateful for their sacrifices, he has isolated himself from his wife and young daughter and even his dog who sits and stares at him thru windows in another part of their house. |
