Looking to find a way to get HCQ in case I do get C19 and as a way to try and detox parasites out of my body. Has anyone here actually found a way to order some through the internet or is it easy enough to get from your doctor?

Ivermectin is for the detoxing of parasites.
From my personal research, the mechanism by which HCQ is effective at combating the virus is the fact that it is a zinc ionophore (ie it opens a zinc compatible pathway through your cell membranes to allow zinc to enter the interior of your cell). Inside your cells, zinc disrupts the rna of viruses from being read to produce new virus proteins (and probably to a lesser extent your normal proteins produced by the cells) from reproducing effectively which therefore slows the progress of said virus in infecting other cells at the minimal efficient rate for said virus to continue spreading throughout the body. This slowdown also allows your immune system more opportunity to identify the virus and do it's thing (flooding the field with antibodies that will latch onto the virus spike proteins thus identifying the virus as an enemy which macrophage cells throughout your body (and even recycler proteins within your cells) will envelop and destroy. And going scorched earth on cells immediately around any cell that shows indicators of infection by the virus (ie partial virus proteins found on the surface of the cell membrane)).
So by this slowing down of the virus protein reproduction via increasing the rate of zinc absorption into your cells, the infection can be stopped sooner with less collateral damage by your bodies immune system.
Quercetin is another zinc ionophore that is available OTC as a supplement. Vitamin D levels have also been shown to have a substantial impact on your immune system mounting an effective defense.
A word of caution. If you take high doses of zinc for an extended time, it will likely result in a copper deficiency which causes lead own problems for your body. Be careful and targeted in your prophylactic self treatment.
End of summer last year, I was taking about 100mg zinc daily and quercetin. Around that time my family was exposed to Covid-19. My wife got it first and I got sick from her. I had a more severe case of it (low vitamin D for me) and early on got HCQ from my doctor (Not Frontline Doctors group and only after I demanded it from him). The treatment I got was not dosed properly for this illness. So I had early improvements, then ran out of meds. Shortly after running out of meds, things went substantially downhill for 5 days and I ended up hospitalized. At hospital I was put on a 225 mg zinc dose along with significant steroids and eventually made a full recovery. My wife recovered on Quercetin and zinc and oral steroids.
If I had to do it again, I would have gone with America's Frontline Doctors over my pcp dr. and I probably would have gone and gotten exposed to the same person that my wife was exposed to on the same day we found out she had been exposed (that way my immune system would not have been introduced to covid-19 at a high viral load but rather at a low viral load).
It was about 1 week after exposure that my wife exhibited symptoms and a week after that when I became ill. Being constantly in an enclosed house while my wife shed airborne virus contributed to the severity of my illness.
