A team of Australian researchers say they’ve found a cure for the novel coronavirus and hope to have patients enrolled in a nationwide trial by the end of the month. University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research director Professor David Paterson told news.com.au today they have seen two drugs used to treat other conditions wipe out the virus in test tubes. He said one of the medications, given to some of the first people to test positive for COVID-19 in Australia, had already resulted in “disappearance of the virus” and complete recovery from the infection. Prof Paterson, who is also an infectious disease physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, said it wasn’t a stretch to label the drugs “a treatment or a cure”. “It’s a potentially effective treatment,” he said. “Patients would end up with no viable coronavirus in their system at all after the end of therapy.” The drugs are both already registered and available in Australia. “What we want to do at the moment is a large clinical trial across Australia, looking at 50 hospitals, and what we’re going to compare is one drug, versus another drug, versus the combination of the two drugs,” Prof Paterson said. Given their history, researchers have a “long experience of them being very well tolerated” and there are no unexpected side effects. “We’re not on a flat foot, we can sort of move ahead very rapidly with enrolling Australians in this trial,” Prof Paterson said. “It’s the question we all have – we know it’s coming now, what is the best way to treat it?” Professor David Paterson, director of the University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research and infectious disease physician at the RBWH. Picture: SuppliedSource:Supplied Prof Paterson said positive experiences in the fight against coronavirus have already been recorded overseas, citing China and Singapore. His research team are confident they can start getting the drugs to patients in a very safe way on home soil. “We want to give Australians the absolute best treatment rather than just someone’s guesses or someone’s anecdotal experiences from a few people,” Prof Paterson told news.com.au. He said they hope to be enrolling patients by the end of March. “And that way, if we can test it in this first wave of patients, we do fully expect that there are going to be ongoing infections for months and months ahead, and therefore we’ll have the best possible information to treat subsequent patients,” Prof Paterson said. “That’s really our aim, to get real world experience in Australia.” He said the trouble with the data coming from China was that it wasn’t really gathered “in a very controlled way”, given they were the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak at the time. “Things were just chaotic,” Prof Paterson said. “There were these emergency hospitals being built and the system really being very, very stretched.” RELATED: Countries where coronavirus has been confirmed A medical worker takes a swab from a previously recovered coronavirus patient in Wuhan on March 14, 2020.

Picture: STR/AFPSource:AFP One of the two medications is a HIV drug, which has been superseded by “newer generation” HIV drugs, and the other is an anti-malaria drug called chloroquine which is rarely used and “kept on the shelf now” due to resistance to malaria. He said the researchers want to study them in a “very meaningful way” against the coronavirus to “try and alleviate that anxiety of Australians”. “There have already been patients treated with these in Australia and there’s been successful outcomes but it hasn’t been done in a controlled or a comparative way,” Prof Paterson said. The drugs would be given orally, as tablets. Prof Paterson said patients would be asked to participate “as soon as they’re admitted” to hospital with the aim of beginning treatment “very early on in their illness”. He said the research was sparked by Chinese patients, who were first given the drug in Australia, showing their doctors information on the internet about the treatment used overseas. “Our doctors were very, very surprised that a HIV drug could actually work against the novel coronavirus and there was a bit of scepticism,” he said. “That first wave of Chinese patients we had (in Australia), they all did very, very well when they were treated with the HIV drug. “That’s reassuring … that we’re onto something really good here.” Poster Comment: Embedded video of TV news at source news.com.au0:43 Researchers trial drugs that 'effectively kill' coronavirus (7 News) Professor David Paterson, Consultant Infectious Diseases Physician at the RBWH, is overseeing research into drugs which he says "kill" the coronavirus and "coul...

So what is it? Chloroquine and zinc lozenge? The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
Chloroquine (or hexachloroquine) and zinc lozenge are worth a try since both are readily available. I wouldn't go around thinking I was Superman though. Forget the AIDS drug. Take Chloroquine and zinc lozenge. UPDATE: A controlled study of 30 patients at Stanford found that chloroquine and a zinc lozenge can remove all traces of the virus in six days. (James Todaro MD and Thomas Broker PhD) Chloroquine is available over the counter as a malaria treatment. Doctors can safely prescribe it as an off label treatment for the coronavirus. Chloroquine and a zinc lozenge can remove all trace of the virus in 6 days. Taken prophylactically one tablet will protect an uninfected healthcare worker from infection by not allowing the virus to attach to his or her body. https://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2020/03/05/preventing-and-curing-the-wuhan-virus-work-in-progress/ The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie

Thank you, both! I do what I can to mainstream information like this. Faceberg will yank the intrameds link if I post it. They said they will pull any posts that recommend a cure. Horse, I don't try to mainstream your blog, largely because I don't try to red pill people unless I get a sense that they might be ready. I take the information from it and repackage it for popular consumption. Tucker had an MD from s. France telling that a chloroquine treatment CURED 40 of 40 patients immediately. Hannity also mentioned it minutes later on his show. Hopefully and since chloroquine has been used, safely, for half a century, this will prove to be an immediate silver-bullet for WuFlu. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

I started perusing your blog from the beginning. Interesting stuff, although many videos have been deleted by Goolag. Did you video-capture them? If so, you can re-upload them on a case by case basis for those who want to capture them for passing around. One I am interested in is the first one on this page: vidrebel.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/tuesday-videos/ No. I did not capture the videos. I work with n old secondhand computer. Sometimes I find a replacement video. Yandex.com and even Bing.com are better at finding videos than Google.

Must take Zinc lozenge for it to work.

Trump just mentioned the anti-malaria cure in his speech. Hopefully this insane CF will end soon.

Fox posted two Tucker clips to youtube, but not that one. I have been posting that everywhere. But it must include the zinc lozenges.

here's a source should anyone wish to guess at the dosage, and zinc can be found anywhere - lemme know how it goes - you'll be famous if you hit on the correct formulation -
