21:11 How hydroxychloroquine works

There has been a lot of conflicting information in the news about hydroxychloroquine. I want to give you all of the information about it so you can decide if you think it’s a good solution or not.

Right now, there are three studies that show that hydroxychloroquine is effective. There are two studies that show that hydroxychloroquine is not effective. But there are still studies continuing to be done.

Hydroxychloroquine studies showing the drug is effective:

1. In the first study, they found that hydroxychloroquine potently blocks the infection of the virus in-vitro.

2. A clinical trial involving 20 patients in France found that patients that were treated with hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic tested negative within five days.

3. A randomized control clinical trial with 62 patients in China found that the recovery time for fever and duration of cough significantly improved as well as pneumonia symptoms.

Hydroxychloroquine studies showing the drug is not effective:

1. A study in China with 15 people that went for five days found that there was no difference on CAT scans. They found that 93% of the control group that did not receive hydroxychloroquine tested negative in five days. They also found that 87.7% of people that did receive hydroxychloroquine tested negative in five days. But the control group that did not receive hydroxychloroquine got bed rest, oxygen, antiviral medication, and antibiotics as needed. Both groups got interferon, which is a substance that kills viruses. The group that did get hydroxychloroquine did not get an antibiotic as well. After two weeks, both groups tested negative for the coronavirus.

2. A study done in France on 11 patients showed that combining hydroxychloroquine with an antibiotic was ineffective. But, eight of these patients had shown significant health conditions. Out of these patients, three had solid tumors, two of the patients had hematological cancer, one patient had HIV, and two of the patients were obese.

How does hydroxychloroquine work?

• Hydroxychloroquine is an ionophore, which allows zinc to enter into the cells. Zinc can inhibit the virus.

• It helps protect the break down of hemoglobin, so you’ll see less damage in the lungs and more oxygen.

• Hydroxychloroquine suppresses the innate part of the immune system.
