Many are afraid to take hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for COVID as they have been told it could kill them because of its effect on the heart. Are you worried about this?
It is a fact that HCQ, azithromycin (Z-Pak™), and other drugs can prolong the QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG)—see image below. This could make patients vulnerable to fatal changes in the heart’s rhythm (such as torsades de pointes or TdP). People with a rare condition called “congenital prolonged QT syndrome” are especially at risk.
You do not have to have an expensive ECG to check for this. It takes about 5 minutes with inexpensive new technology that fits in your pocket and can be used in your home (see below).
Hundreds of millions of people have taken HCQ without ever worrying about this issue. Have we overlooked a serious problem for more than 50 years? A just-published article that reviews the medical literature concludes that, on the contrary, HCQ protects the heart.
In one case series of 251 COVID-19 patients treated with HCQ and azithromycin, extreme QT prolongation occurred in 23 percent. The HCQ was stopped; no deaths occurred. No reports of cardiac deaths were found in the review. Rather, “HCQ/azithromycin were uniformly found to substantially reduce cardiac mortality and also to decrease thrombosis, arrhythmia and cholesterol in treated patients.”
Warnings issued by FDA, CDC, the American Heart Association, and others have suppressed the use of potentially life-saving HCQ treatment. However, author Chadwick Prodromos, M.D., notes that warnings cite no specific study, and do not comment on whether actual deaths have occurred.He concludes that: “HCQ decreases cardiac events. HCQ should not be restricted in use for COVID 19 patients because of fear of cardiac mortality.”
It is important to remember that COVID-19 itself can damage the heart, increasing the importance of early treatment.
Cardiologist Peter McCullough, M.D., M.P.H., of the Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute in Dallas, recommends HCQ and other measures for early treatment in a recent article in the American Journal of Medicine.
In the chart below, CDC tells us that children have a lower rate of Covid infection/recovery than adults, apart from adults 65 and older. Note that this is based on ESTIMATES. Presumably CDC concocted these estimates to maek it appear that more children “needed” the vaccines because only 35% were immune. But elsewhere, CDC estimates…
The New York Times on June 26 tried to flummox us regarding the vaccination of adolescents without parental consent. The Times turned it into an issue of kids sneaking around their parents, and sometimes succeeding in getting vaccinated without parental consent. But that is not the issue at all! Furthermore, the NYT found a dimwit…
February 9, 2022 VIA FEDERAL EXPRESS and EMAIL Dear Dr. Janet Woodcock: We write to you on behalf of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), a non-profit organization devoted to the health of people and the planet. We have actively followed your work to evaluate, authorize and approve vaccines for the…
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/CHD-Letter-to-FDA-VRBPAC-2022-06-10.pdf The FDA will host 2 days of its vaccine advisory committee meeting June 14 and 15 in order to justify authorizing Pfizer and Moderna vaccine for children as young as six months old. The CHD letter explains in tremendous detail how the science fails to support the vaccine for children, when looked at from…
Op-Ed, 11/23/08 Two clear facts shine from the clouded mystery of anthrax attacks on America and our government’s tenuous claim seven years later of closing the case with the suicide of a suspect. Fact No. 1: Government warnings about anthrax being a weapon of mass destruction were false. Somebody dispersed the most lethal strain our…
Another huge win (finally). First the OSHA mandate was halted, and now the Medicare/Medicaid mandate, which was imposed on all healthcare entities that did business with Medicare or Medicaid, has also been halted. Ten states were parties to a lawsuit, led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, requesting injunctive relief from the healthcare worker Covid…
