“MONTREAL, January 22, 2021 – The Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) announced today that the COLCORONA clinical trial has provided clinically persuasive results of colchicine’s efficacy to treat COVID-19. The study results have shown that colchicine has reduced by 21% the risk of death or hospitalizations in patients with COVID-19 compared to placebo. This result obtained for the global study population of 4488 patients approached statistical significance. The analysis of the 4159 patients in whom the diagnosis of COVID-19 was proven by a naso-pharyngeal PCR test has shown that the use of colchicine was associated with statistically significant reductions in the risk of death or hospitalization compared to placebo. In these patients with a proven diagnosis of COVID-19, colchicine reduced hospitalizations by 25%, the need for mechanical ventilation by 50%, and deaths by 44%. This major scientific discovery makes colchicine the world’s first oral drug that could be used to treat non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19.”

Existing drug, like HCQ. Like steroids, zinc, z-packs. Big Pharma frowns on low profit treatments. Narrative frowns on hope. Likely use as treatment? Zip.

buddy of mine just tested positive. Hes in his 60s with some heart issues. Wondering if doctors are free to prescribe this or if there have to be more studies?

I would do the HCQ cocktail if I were him.

Tell him to ask about the monoclonal antibody treatment. My sister works in the icu and said that’s their go to treatment at the moment and it’s doing wonders in decreasing both hospitalizations and deaths. However, time is of the essence, the longer you wait the less effective it is

If you have rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, you might be prescribed HCQ and hit the lottery for the COVID treatment that’s now taboo for strictly political reasons.

Let's just keep voting how we're supposed to and I'm sure our overlords will let us have more and more good things over time. Why, Bill Gates even let me have some of the lettuce he grew this morning.

Guess that's good news for those who suffer from gout.

Yeah, took the vaccine last week, 36 hours later I have a gout attack
Posted on 1/24/21 at 2:17 pm to tigerskin
I took that chit before for gout. You're supposed to take it periodically until the attack goes away. But at a certain point... it will utterly clean out your intestines. Worse than food poisoning. Glad I don't get that crap anymore

Thanks for the advice. He's going get it right now

Very widely used for gout. I’ve used it for flare ups for 7-8 years.
Tends to tear my stomach up, besides living in the bathroom for a few hours, no major side effects.

HCQ
Give it up. No one is going to take HCQ knowing it makes remdesivir in the ICU worthless.

Test positive? Then test again. Test positive again? Still not a positive case. Must test a 3rd time, only it must be a clinical test under a microscope. Only then should it be considered a new case if the clinical test is positive
