Just wondering ... we know that both hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin have had significant success as treatments for covid. Yesterday, I saw a South African doctor, doctor Chetty, speaking about the great success he'd had with promethazine. (A drug I've not previously heard of) Also, a few days or a week ago someone posted a link about Niacin and Melatonin being used by a doctor with promising results.
So my question for you pharmalogical types is, do you see a connection between those drugs? I am just curious if they have something in common that would explain why they have all been successful, OR, if it just happens that they are all completely different, yet effective in their own ways. Would love to hear your expertise on the matter. Thanks!
Very interesting, thank you for the info. It's fascinating that they can all be different, yet they are all apparently effective for covid.
Incidentally, I saw a video on line of someone 'making hydroxychloroquine.' Basically, she simmered grapefruit and lemon peels. What was distilled down was bottled. Now, do you have any idea if this could actually be what we think of as hydroxychloroquine? Because if so, it would certainly be an easy thing for most everybody to make and have at hand, even for things like arthritis.
No problem. Yea, it's incredible to me how different they are, and yet how much each can help. And it's wonderful that, since they target different pathways, they can be used in combination with an additive effect to reduce morbidity and mortality.
I can't speak to making it that way and I am certainly not a chemist, I'm afraid. I know that it is, or is very similar to, quinine. I'm sure there are good instruction manuals out there for producing it safely.
Thanks. I was just reading through that ivermectin link, which I've actually seen before. It's very interesting. I am also fascinated that some doctor, don't remember his name, said Kory et all were hurting people with the ivermectin protocol and called on doctors to use the niacin / melatonin version. Hey, as long as there is a doctor who cares enough and is brave enough to prescribe any of the useful drugs, I'm thankful.
