Natural Alternatives to Hydroxychloroquine Article
{note: You can get EGCG (a.k.a. Green Tea Extract) online or at most local stores in the vitamin aisle. Quercetin is available online or at some (not very many) stores in vitamin aisle. Neither is hard to find and both are inexpensive.} Recommended is to use them together as a combination i.p.o. Hydroxychloroquine. Read the article and make your own choices.
"Quercetins are naturally occurring flavonoids. These flavonoids are found in a variety of foods, including vegetables such as onions, garlic, brassica, mustard greens, and ginger; fruit such as apples, berries, and grapes; and many seeds, nuts, flowers bark and tea leaves. I have personally been using quercetin for years with my patients in my functional medicine program that suffer from allergies, mitochondrial disease and for cardioprotective reasons.
Quercetin is a zinc ionophore. A 2015 study found that that Quercetin shows inhibitory activity in the early stages of a wide range of influenza viruses, including H1N1 and H5N1. Although influenza is not in the same family of viruses as the coronavirus, it’s plausible that a similar mechanism could apply here. There is actually some evidence that Quercetin has already proven effective at treating Ebola and Zika viruses.
Quercetin Dosage
Studies are currently being done to determine effective doses. At this time, I recommend 400mg up to twice per day.
EGCG is a catechin found primarily in green tea and touted as the most effective chemopreventive polyphenol. A recent study found EGCG amplified the effectiveness of Quercetin as a zinc ionophore. This suggests that ECGC and Quercetin provide a synergistic effect with enhanced bioavailability. EGCG Dosage
There are no studies to evaluate effective doses. Until there are, I recommend 200mg to 400mg 2x/day taken with Quercetin.
A common question, “Will drinking green tea provide enough ECGC?” No, you cannot get enough only from drinking green tea. Get your hands on the standardized supplement form.
Zinc
This trace element is essential to cell function and involved in over 100 enzymes. Zinc has long been tauted for it’s potential to support the immune system, but also plays an important role in wound healing, fertility, preventing and treating pneumonia and preserving community between neurons (memory). Zinc Format and Dosage
I recommend the zinc salt of gluconic acid in combination with the above zinc ionophores, however supply is currently limited. Other formats include glycinate and picolinate. Most people do not lack an intake of zinc, but in this case I tend to error on the side of caution and ensure and adequate supply with supplementation. I recommend 15-25mg 2x/day. This should not be taken long term without evaluation your zinc/copper ratios.
Don't forget to NOT wear your mask, our body is designed to remove toxins via our respiratory system, i.e. when you exhale.
I went to Front Line Drs. and got a script of Hydroxychloroquine coming. I also bought some Quercetin to have on hand and have upped my Vitamin D and Zinc daily intake.
I rarely get the flu or even sick but nice to have just in case the CCP's next version is deadlier.
I also stocked ivermectin. Did not know about getting the script online, I think I will get one of those also. My mother is in her late 80's so I like to be prepared even though she is a health nut like me and won't take the vaccine.
Where did you get the Ivermectin ? I know livestock supply store carry it, but wouldn't know how to figure the dose.
Tractor Supply. I ordered online and picked up at the store. It is very inexpensive so I purchased several. There is a chart online that gives the doses etc...I took off this site. I will see if I can find link for you.
Oh, thank you very much . I was wondering how you'd figure that out as all I've seen is a tube of paste.
I just posted new post w/ the protocol as it would not copy paste here.
Thank you so much for finding it. Will save for future need. It may save someone from the hospital.
Glad I could help:)
I recommend using glucosamine as well.
I've been using Quercetin, Bromelain, and Glucosamine to good affect.
My allergies have gone down significantly since starting 3 weeks ago.

Probably doesn't apply to very many here..If denture adhesive is used on a daily basis, containing zinc, would you still recommend a zinc supplement? My tube warns not to add zinc to the diet.
Lavender lady ..yes still supplement with Zinc ..the RDA never tells you the actual healthy amount to take ..they are always under the amount that should be taken ..two reasons in most cases ..RDA doesn’t care so much if you use alternative/ holistic meds ie: vitamins etc as long as it’s not enough to really make difference ..plus free them from any possible legal situation . There is not enough zinc in your dental adhesive to harm u if you supplement with tablet form. You should have your levels of zinc and copper levels checked to know for sure.
Thank you very much for your quick answer.
One thing to be aware of, too much zinc can lead to a permanent loss of taste. Best check with your functional medicine doctor.
That's my fear. My daughter lost her sense of taste with the 'rona (bad cold) . I told her to take quercetin and zinc etc. She said that years ago she took Cold Eaz and lost her sense of taste for a couple of weeks. I love to cook and I would hate that.
health food stores contain NOW products with Magnesium, calcium, D3 & zinc....Get your own green tea for brewing
Shocking conclusion: eating a well-balanced diet of organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, mushrooms and meats will make you more resilient to disease, less likely to become overweight or chronically ill, increase energy and promote muscle growth. Our medicine is our food, our thoughts and our actions, but people want to hear it in scientific terms as well before they believe it
I use purity D-complex, a clean windshield, and powerful gasoline...
Tonic water also has quinine, used for centuries to help with malaria
