We ordered this. It's not exactly cheap, and I have no clue if insurance covers it because we did not even TRY to get it covered, but I can vouch for its effectiveness from within our family - the earlier you take it the better. Especially if you start coughing, because that means the virus has hit you in the lungs first (not always the case). If anyone wants the entire regimen we did, let me know and I'll type it out.
By the way, our big mistake was that we stopped taking quercetin, zinc, and D3 a couple of months ago. We got lazy and felt the coast was clear. Before that we were around infected people many times over the past year, and did not get sick. We've literally lived normal lives for a year, gathering with friends, etc, and didn't get sick even when they DID. So if you want to avoid it completely, you CAN do that!
I'm actually glad to have had the Rona to see how HCQ worked so that I could recommend it (or not), and to have permanent immunity is pretty cool. Now I know firsthand it works.
One thing I learned: not everyone gets hit in the lungs by the Rona. Those who don't seem to do fine with just HCQ/zinc/D3, and C. Once it's in the lungs (are you coughing?), we added the ZPak. Going without the azithromycin at first was an experimental error. Oh well - live and learn. For those not coughing, HCQ/zinc/D3, C worked. For those coughing, I added the Zpak and everything began to clear up. The total downtime (it was merely like a bad cold, nothing more) was 10-11 days, most of which was spent watching movies. All in all, not too bad of a bug. But I would NOT want to go through it unprepared.
I called Speakwithanmd.com - website supported by America's Frontline Doctors.
I paid $90 for the consultation and $70 for a preventative course of HCQ. script said one HCQ a day for 5 days, then one a week. bottle held 30 pills, so 5 months worth. The zinc was 30 pills - take one a day, so only enough zinc for one month - but zinc easy to get otc.
Yes, thats what I should have done.....but the zinc was only $10, $60 for the HCQ. It was the first time we'd used the service, so I was hesitant to break from the guidelines.....if they are willing to risk sending me something that msm says will kill me, I'll let them make a couple bucks off zinc.
If you are using HCQ or Quercetin prophylactically you dont need the antibiotic. Azithromycin is used to prevent secondary pneumonia infections in already sick patients.
It was $90 for the consultation whether or not you want one, so you might as well take it. And IIRC the kit was about $200. The kit might vary in price depending on which pharmacy is being used - ours was shipped from LA though we are two counties over. I heard from someone else who said that their entire package, including the HCQ kit, came to about $210.
There was actually enough in one kit for two people, but your mileage may vary ;)
For folks who are already taking prescription medications, do a search "drug interaction checker" and check to see if there's a chance that any of these supplements may adversely interact with your meds. I was taking Indapimide (water pill) and when I added magnesium to my daily regimen, I started getting heart palpitations. The palpitations went away 5-6 days after I stopped taking the magnesium.
I think that is because water pills require your body to have more potassium. You're upping the need for potassium while also taking magnesium which will then bump your requirement for potassium even higher.
Good points - I think they add high dose D3 and C because either the body is depleted of them by combating the virus or because those who died from it were all found to be D deficient. Either way, it's a large amount. 10K of D3, and I forget how much of C....I think it was in the range of 3K, but not sure.
Not that I know of - since it's used in pretty hot and steamy places where malaria is prevalent I don't think it needs any special handling beyond normal precautions (keep out of sunlight and in a dry place)

Thanks for the testimonial but you left out the most important part, what was the cost?

Havent started taking it yet.
FYI to anyone else just tell them you only want the HCQ and already have ZINC on hand to save money
Yes, thats what I should have done.....but the zinc was only $10, $60 for the HCQ. It was the first time we'd used the service, so I was hesitant to break from the guidelines.....if they are willing to risk sending me something that msm says will kill me, I'll let them make a couple bucks off zinc.
No azith?

D3 needs K2 and magnesium to ensure calcium isn't driven into the soft tissues.
For folks who are already taking prescription medications, do a search "drug interaction checker" and check to see if there's a chance that any of these supplements may adversely interact with your meds.

C from a whole food source like cherries, not ascorbic acid right? Best and worst vitamin c - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnvnKnu7YBI
D needs proper magnesiums to work - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ19ysKL8Nc - Get the Benefits of Vitamin D Without the Toxicity
I would get liposomal vitamin C, which is far more powerful. Dr. Mercola has a good one. About 35$.

Wondering what the shelf life for this is? Does it need to be refrigerated?
