Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3499237, member: 37"] I stopped listening to the NY doctor's interview after he stated there was 100 percent improvement in the French study. The French presenters claimed it was not a study but a clinical trial. I read that paper. Here is the link: [URL='https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920300996?via%3Dihub#!']Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial[/URL] The good news: after five days of receiving hydorxychloroquine 13/20 (65%) were nasopharyngeal negative compared to 3/16 (18.8%) in the control group. THE BAD NEWS: THERE WERE FOUR PATIENTS ORIGINALLY IN THE GROUP GIVEN MEDICATION. TREATMENT WHO WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE FINAL RESULTS. THREE WERE REMOVED FROM THE TRIAL'S RESULTS BECAUSE THEY WERE TRANSFERRED TO AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT. A FOURTH DIED ON DAY 3 POST INCLUSION BUT WAS PCR NEGATIVE ON DAY 2. There is no information to know if they received only hydorxychloroquine or the combination of medications. To be fair the group receiving medication had a higher percentage of patients with LRTI than the control group. The URTI rate was statistically insignificant between the two groups. The Really bad news: A patient who was given both medications and was tested negative at day 6 was tested positive with a low titer on day 8. WHY IS THIS REALLY BAD. TWO BRITISH SCIENTISTS THEORIZE THAT HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE RAISES INTRACELLULAR PH (MAKES IT MORE ALKALINE) AND THIS KEEPS THE VIRUS IN A CAPSULE PREVENTING IT FROM GETTING INTO CELLULAR DNA AND SUBVERTING OUR CELLS MACHINERY. MY CONCERN (FULL DISCLOSER: HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OTHER PEOPLE CONCERNED) IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THESE POSTULATED INTRACELLULAR ENCAPSULATED VIRUSES WHEN HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE MEDS ARE STOPPED. China had a small number of people who were tested negative after recovering but later tested positive. The assumption was the post testing was inaccurate. I'm wondering if these were the patients that were given the medicines by the Chinese researchers who put out the original paper which the French ran with. [/QUOTE]
