I am a retired MD with asthma. When I got a cold it always progressed to pneumonia. Last time I took zinc and 3 days of ivermectin and was symptom free on day 3. Why had my doctors never tried this.

Most mainstream doctors are taught that zinc does not work . Infectious disease docs don’t usually recommend zinc . Zinc has to be taken at the 1st sign of cold: viral and it does not work if started after several days of symptom onset . Hydroxychloroquine or quercetin are great zinc ionophores as well as ivermectin. If baseline vitamin D level

Around 50 the duration abs severity of respiratory illness can be shorter too , along with diet low in sugar and carbohydrates

Sorry if my message was unclear , zinc does work as it blocks viral replication but it has to be started early . It’s sad that so many doctors and pharmacists don’t believe in it . I guess it’s not glamorized in the big journals and alphabet agency guidelines.

Well, zinc, just like vitamin d etc. doesn’t make the big bucks.

Could you reply to me your exact protocol in this situation? How much zinc and any other supplements such as C? I have a dear friend who suffers major bouts of asthma every year, and this last year it led to bronchitis and pneumonia. She is vaxxed, but I believe is desperate enough to try something outside of mainstream medicine. She is a retired nursing instructor, about 70.

I am not vaxxed for covid or flu.

I took 50 mg zinc on day one and 14 mg ivermectin on days one, two and three. I drink 2 glasses of orange juice twice a day and 50 mcg vit d3 daily. If I have any cold symptoms I add 50 mg zinc daily until symptom free. I am 86 years old.
