LA Doctor: When I Treat Patients With Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc, They Recover In 8-12 Hours

He says that the drug shouldn't be prescribed for those who are only mildly ill, because he doesn't want to exhaust our supplies.

But he says it has "very promising results" for the "most severely ill."

Dr. Anthony Cardillo said he has seen very promising results when prescribing hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc for the most severely-ill COVID-19 patients.

"Every patient I've prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free," Cardillo told Eyewitness News. "So clinically I am seeing a resolution."

Cardillo is the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, which has locations in Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys and Burbank.

He said he has found it only works if combined with zinc. The drug, he said, opens a channel for the zinc to enter the cell and block virus replication.

Meanwhile, the media continues its open war on hydroxychloroquine -- The Bad Orange Man said it's good, therefore, it must also be bad.

The Narrative has spoken.

They pretend their bias comes from "experts" but they always seem to forget to quote the expert medical doctors treating patients and seeing success.

President Donald Trump and members of his administration are growing emphatic in promoting an anti-malaria drug not yet officially approved for fighting COVID-19, even though scientists say more testing is needed before it's proven safe and effective against the virus

Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro promoted the drug, hydroxychloroquine, in television interviews Monday, a day after Trump publicly put his faith in the drug to lessen the toll of the coronavirus pandemic.

"What do I know, I'm not a doctor," Trump told reporters Sunday. "But I have common sense."

The administration's public backing of the drug comes after a heated Situation Room meeting of the White House's coronavirus task force on Saturday, in which Navarro challenged the top U.S. infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, over his concerns about recommending the drug based only on unscientific anecdotal evidence.

Navarro, who has no formal medical training, erupted at Fauci, raising his voice and claiming that the reports of studies he collected were enough to recommend the drug widely, according to a person familiar with the exchange who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the Situation Room blow-up.

You know who does have formal training? The doctors caring for patients who say the drug works.

Twitchy documents the new media offensive versus reality, now proclaiming that not only is hydroxychloroquine (hereafter, HCQ; I can't keep writing this) not effective, it's also DANGEROUS AND WILL KILL YOU!!!

Meanwhile, John Ekdahl tells me the media has reopened their Iraq War playbook -- now deploying the words "grim milestone" to record new deaths.
