Interestingly low dose HCL is keeping doctors and nurses from getting this full blown disease.
I keep a shiny rock in my pocket and Iâve never gotten COVID.
Interestingly my rock is as effective as hydroxychloroquine.
Id warn people away from taking HCL. Thatâs a strong acid.
There is a lot of evidence that HCL is effective against COVID. It is terrible that the medical community would deny the use of a drug that has very well known and limited side effects. That absolutely added to the death toll.
Thereâs far better evidence it doesnât work. We tried it. It didnât work. Time to move on.
Please prove it.... I'll wait..
Jason Pogue, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP, shares his thoughts on a study published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents.

Biological plausibility is only one of the Bradford Hill criteria, which Iâm sure you know all about Mr Scientist.
Study shows treatment does no harm, but provides no benefit

Wear your mask, because it might help reduce the spread of the disease. Don't take HCL because it might not help you.
HCL is hydrochloric acid. Donât take it. Hydroxychloroquine is usually abbreviated HCQ. A nit pick, I know.
We used hydroxychloroquine for months. We did it because it might help. We did it until we could do better studies to find out itâs efficacy. The studies failed to show a benefit. The use stopped.
This is precisely how medicine works.
As for masks, much harder to determine effect because you canât do the same trials that you can for drug efficacy. But so far data does show some benefit.
Maybe that was your result but there are other studies out there and doctors who claim very high success rates with HCQ. I'm sure you have seen them.
There are no controlled studies that have been done, that show its efficacy.
Required by the FDA for any and all normal drug approval.... And that is the problem....
It can't be shown that the drug works in a controlled trial setting, where half the group receives HCQ, and half the trial group receiving a placebo... And separating age groups and sickliness to see which categories work best and a lot of other metrics.
As example in some of these so called uncontrolled trials, they gave HCQ with a steroid, saw great results, but then they figured out it was the steroids that improved the patients health.
If these group of doctors put their money where their mouth is, they would hire a team to run a controlled medical trial on the drug or drug cocktail, with half the trial group receiving the placebo, ASAP.
Then let it be peer reviewed, then run a larger trial to confirm it.
In the mean time, if a doctor wants to try its use on one of his monitored patients, let him.... They just won't be part of the controlled trial....
