NOTE:
I have taken Vitamin C, Vitamin D and zinc supplements for over 40 years. I doubled my Vitamin D intake to 4500IU a day when Covid arrived in early 2020. And I added 250mg Quercetin a day in 2021 as Covid continued. My goal is a stronger immune system. I am not vaxxed and will stay that way due to the extremely high adverse side effects from the vaccines -- the worst, by far, in US vaccine history. While I have never had the flu, I have observed that Covid has a much higher death rate than influenza. I consider Omicrom to be a new coronavirus common cold, not to be feared. Based on its structure and symptoms, Omicron is not a new Covid variant.

"Dr. Vladimir Zelenko became a hero for his early use of hydroxychloroquine to fight COVID.
Sadly, his efforts were halted by Democrat governor Cuomo..
But Dr. Zelenko didn’t stop.
Dr. Zelenko talks about “the bullet and gun” approach for understanding zinc ionophores
Here is a transcript of highlights from the video:
Dr. Zelenko:
“Zinc is the bullet – it kills the virus.
The only problem is the bullet doesn’t get to the place where it needs to be.
The virus is inside the cell.
The enzyme is inside the cell.
And the zinc on its own cannot get into the cell.
You have a bullet without a gun – useless.
Now, it turns out there’s a class of medications and substances called ‘zinc ionophores’
- they open up a channel, a door, which allows zinc to go from outside the cell to inside the cell.
There are four of them that are readily available – two of them are prescription and two of them are over-the-counter.
The two prescription ones everyone has heard of:
Hydroxycholorquine and
Ivermection.
They’re the guns that shoot the bullet.
The bullet then gets into the cell and stops the virus enzyme from helping the virus replicate.
So you have a gun and bullet.
Only the synergy of the two creates a functioning unit.
In april of last year, Cuomo issued an executive order that was directly targeting me and my patients
– because I was the only one in the state doing it.
Where pharmacies would not dispense hydroxychloroquine to patients.
So all of a sudden, I had a gun and a bullet approach, but…he took away the zinc delivery system — at least he took away access to my patients.
So I was forced by necessity to innovate.
I did more research, and on the NIH servers of all places,
I found papers saying a substance called quercetin is a zinc delivery system, as well.
It’s a zinc ionophore.
To be honest, I’d never heard of quercetin.
So I googled it and I see it’s over-the-counter.
That was one of the most significant realizations in my life and probably in humanity.
Why do I say that?
Because now there was a cure for tyranny.
There are two risk factors for dying from COVID: It’s the doctor you choose and the government you live under.
Besides that, there’s no reason a person should die from COVID.
Now, you don’t need a doctor and now you don’t need permission from the government.
You can go to a pharmacy or go to a supermarket and buy an over-the-counter option of quercetin together with Zinc and Vitamin C and Vitamin D.
Together it creates a very powerful immune-boosting nutritional supplement.
According to the FDA, I’m not allowed to make any claims except that it’s an immune booster and nutritional supplement.
So what I’m going to say is the following:
Quercetin and Vitamin C together form a functioning zinc ionophore — a zinc delivery system.
Zinc is what it delivers, so you actually need zinc as well.
You need the gun and the bullet.
And Vitamin D – the studies all show
– Vitamin D3 levels between 50 and 70
virtually eliminate hospitalizations
or admissions in the intensive care unit.
It optimizes their immune system..so you need Vitamin D,
then you need Zinc, which is the bullet.
And then to form a functioning gun, you need Vitamin C and quercetin…"
