Good source of information on treating and preventing COVID-19

 The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service (http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/index.shtml) is a good source of information on preventing and treating COVID-19. Two of the articles listed there as of this writing are of particular interest - "COVID-19: How can I cure thee? Let me count the ways" (http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n37.shtml) by Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, who has written quite a few books which surprisingly haven't gotten him killed by the pharmaceutical industry. (His legal degree is for protecting himself from the medical establishment.) The article states that "While many supplement regimens can be used for COVID-19 prevention, such regimens should include at a minimum vitamin C, vitamin D, magnesium chloride, and zinc. Any of many additional quality nutrient and antioxidant supplements can be added as desired, largely dependent on expense and personal preference."

Elsewhere, the article states that "Since supplemental zinc has only a limited ability to reach the cytoplasm of cells due to its ionic nature, zinc ionophores (agents that complex with zinc and transport it into the cell) are known to be good general antiviral agents. Quercetin is one such supplement, and it can serve as a good adjunctive agent to any COVID-19 treatment protocol.... Chloroquine, discussed below, is also a zinc ionophore, perhaps explaining its potent anti-COVID-19 effects.

According to the article, hydryoxychloriquine is actually very effective at treating and preventing COVID-19, although it's difficult to obtain, and there are many alternatives, none of which the American medical establishment recognizes.

Another article of interest from the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service is "Vitamin C and Coronavirus: Not a Vaccine, Just a Humble Cure" (http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n28.shtml), which describes China's success at treating COVID-19 with IV sodium ascorbate and points out that the global media is suppressing this information. However, I learned about it by performing a simple Google search and sifting through a few pages of results. The latest article as of this writing, an official report from China (http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v16n42.shtml), contradicts the known effects of high-dose IV sodium ascorbate on viruses and downplays China's success.
