A GREAT QUESTION:

Ivermectin, HCQ, Quercetin + Vitamin C, Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin Seed), Hinokitiol

https://covid19.onedaymd.com/2021/08/best-zinc-ionophore-supplements-2021.html

Quercetin, Hydroxychloroquine, green tea extract, Zinc and black seed oil are among the handful of COVID-19 treatments that are being studied as candidates that might influence the outcome in the prevention and management of COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Quercetin and EGCG (EpiGalloCatechin Gallate) are all zinc ionophores.

It is a good article to read:

4. Black Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa)

5. Is Turmeric a zinc ionophore?

Hinokitiol, a natural substance found in the Cupressaceae trees is a potent zinc-ionophore. It's known for its antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer properties and it's regarded as the safest zinc ionophores compared to other ionophores like hydroxychloroquine, quercetin,

epigallocatechin, pyrithione, zincophorin, etc.

Ionophores & Polyphenols

An ionophore is a compound that can transport ions (like zinc) across biological cell membranes. Since zinc regulates adaptive immune cell function, these compounds can help maintain higher levels of intracellular zinc and decrease the replication of RNA viruses like influenza, SARS, and COVID-19.

Two ionophores that have been used to help increase cellular zinc levels in the treatment of some RNA viruses are chloroquine (a malarial drug discovered in 1934) and hydroxychloroquine. These compounds are related to quinine, which was originally derived from cinchona bark and first used to treat malaria. Popular in use with cocktails today, quinine is the component in tonic water that gives it a bitter taste.

Hydroxychloroquine is more commonly used to treat auto-immune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Both of these drugs can have adverse effects, as they can concentrate in melanin and affect skin and eye cells. There are also additional risks involved when used in combination with other pharmaceutical drugs.

Polyphenols are micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, with powerful antioxidant properties. Polyphenols are abundant in a variety of plant foods including fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, tea, dark chocolate, wine, and olives. Research has shown that polyphenols can help reduce the risk of neuro-generative diseases including mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.

These important micronutrients may increase bone mineral density which lowers the risk of osteoporosis and can help improve the symptoms of arthritis. They also work to reduce insulin resistance and stabilizing blood sugar, which can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. One of the most important polyphenols is the flavonol quercetin.

Quercetin

A safe and natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, quercetin is the most frequently studied flavonoid. For dietary sources, it’s found in many plant foods including brassica vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts), capers, grapes, asparagus, green pepper, onions (red onions have the highest levels), shallots, wine, tomatoes, and tea.

Quercetin is also present in a wide variety of berries including strawberries, red raspberries, blueberries, black currants, cranberries, chokeberries, and Saskatoon berries. Black chokeberries (Aronia) have the fourth highest level of quercetin of 18 berries studied, at 348 mg/kg.

Onions have the highest quercetin content among vegetables and fruits. Frying onions doesn't affect quercetin, but boiling lowers levels by about 30%, transferring the quercetin to the water.

One study from the University of California-Davis found that organic tomatoes have almost 80% higher levels of quercetin than non-organic. The highest concentration is found in raw capers, with the lowest being present in black or green tea. Quercetin can also be found in dietary supplements including Gingko biloba, St. John's wort, and black elderberry, a longstanding traditional remedy shown to reduce the symptoms and duration of influenza.

While working to reduce the risk of infection, quercetin may also help boost mental and physical performance. A powerful polyphenol with unique biological properties, the potential benefits include anti-carcinogenic, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory activity. Studies have found that quercetin inhibited bladder cancer cells by inducing DNA damage, and influences long-term memory recall in patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. As nutritional support, it may help lower blood pressure, decrease blood glucose levels, inhibit the proliferation of human prostate cancer, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Studies from Appalachian State University showed that 1000 mg of quercetin per day significantly reduced upper respiratory tract infections, and additional research supports its ability to reduce the risk of rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and coronaviruses.

One of quercetin's most well-known health benefits is for inhibiting histamine release. Its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties may help reduce bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, and peanut-induced anaphylactic reactions. The Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences published a detailed study on quercetin and concluded that “quercetin demonstrates the potential to reduce the most significant pathologies of asthma,” and that “these results, in association with the low incidence of asthma in individuals with moderate dietary intake levels of quercetin, suggest that quercetin could be used medicinally, for the treatment of asthma.”

An open label study in Turkey led by Hasan Önal, MD is examining quercetin's potential use in the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. In the trial, 95 patients with COVID-19 are receiving 1000 mg quercetin, and 113 healthcare workers are receiving a 500 mg dose as a prophylactic. Both groups are also receiving bromelain and vitamin C.

Quercetin's antiviral properties have also been the focus of research by doctors Michel Chrétien and Majambu Mbikay at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute. They have similarly proposed using quercetin for treatment of COVID-19 and are also conducting clinical trials. While the results of the studies won't be known for several months, Chrétien and Mbikay are optimistic that quercetin may be able to play a role in treatment or prevention. “A cell has a lock, and the virus has a key,” Chrétien said, “but quercetin puts glue in the lock.”

In addition to all of these impressive supportive functions and applications, quercetin's most impressive quality may be its established zinc ionophore activity. As mentioned, an ionophore is a compound that can transport ions like zinc across cell membranes. As zinc regulates immune cell function, this may be able to decrease the replication of RNA viruses.

Food and drink both provide significant amounts of organic compounds, polyphenols, that – like prescription HCQ -- act as zinc ionophores. Quercetin, for example, is found in very high concentrations in elderberries, Mexican oregano, capers, cloves, and dark chocolate, and in moderately high concentrations in onions, bilberry, orange juice, red wine, apple, and other vegetables. 2 Epigallocatechin gallate is found in extremely high concentrations in green tea, and in moderately high concentrations in black tea, pecans, and hazelnuts.3 Although no laboratory confirmation has yet directly confirmed that they function as in vitro or in vivo zinc ionophores, the polyphenols (chalcones: xanthohumols) found especially in ales like dry-hopped IPAs and pale ales,4 as well as vegetables like broad beans (chalcones: butein), are known to form chemical complexes with zinc.

Thanks for your time.

Surely, all of what we need can be directly sourced from nature, just as the pumpkin seed has good, natural, easily obtained zinc, from my understanding.

I am so sick of the chemically-derived , chimeric substances, period, and have almost zero faith in the bulk of what is taken for science.

Too bad for the Pandorans, that must live in total obliviousness regarding the harsh consequences of their actions, continuing down the destructive path, with a toss of the head, and a stubborn air, until The End.

The Fat Lady is due to arrive at any time, it could seem, from quite a few angles.

Yes, TIME IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM....

Taking antioxidants from the diet is ok. But for people who have taken this shot, they should support their body with supplements, because they are in serious danger. They should take NAC in higher doses plus other antioxidants. This is crucial for them

Big Pharma does not make money selling zinc, which is cheap, so they create complex molecules such as Remdesivir  which is a an expense but poor substitute!

The same method and explanation seems to apply to bacterial and parasitic infections and provide significant boost to detox after poisoning. I refrain from talking about "viruses" as long as I cannot see a function-based definition based that actually works both inside and outside the prevalent "medical" paradigm. Also, as you write it elsewhere, 5G seems to play a significant role in the mass murder.

What is your take on the necessity of a new medical paradigm?

Ivermectin must do something for people in all those third-world countries. It is legendary as a parasite drug. And it may well be a zinc ionophore. But, all the stuff about it being anti-viral is nonsense because viruses have never been isolated and have never been proven to exist. Part of my job is to read the literature on PubMed, and I've never been able to find a single paper that does a credible job of using a method for isolating the mythical virus - any virus! Everything we have been fed about smallpox virus, Spanish flu virus, polio virus, swine flu, H1N1, HIV, herpes, mad cow, ebola, SARS, MERS, ... it's all BS fear porn and propaganda.

Yes, this is why I said that the key is OXIDATIVE STRESS NOT A VIRUS:

But they ALL contradict their own preaching. They preach about the virus. So, they should be happy about Zinc ionophores.

Myself, I believe that Covid is oxidative stress caused by nanotechnology. This is what kills and injures. And what destroys the immune system, so a simple flu can be fatal. That's why people have hypoxia and organ damage, blood clots - OXIDATIVE STRESS due to free and oxy radicals caused by toxicity of nanotech/graphene It is a longer subject...

Yes, at a molecular level, oxidative stress plays a HUGE role. I just watched a video of a guy who spoke at length about this exact principle. He was a great believer in H2O2 peroxide nebulizers as a kind of universal medicine for reducing oxidative stress. Look up Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD. He wrote a free PDF book on his website called Rapid Virus Recovery. I think most of the book is based on redox chemistry (although he doesn't talk about nanotechnology, whatever that includes). Baking soda water (1 heaping teaspoon per liter) is another GREAT antioxidant that keeps your whole body alkaline (donating electrons to avoid acidic pH).

Hello. Just today i was sent this email , about ivermectine, i dont know how.

and i was just on the subject since yesterday

. should we take it or not? ( for GO detox in non Vax persons )

could you study this and then give your comments and advices?

It's good that Tim posted these toxicology studies. We need to be aware of the possible side effects of everything we use, take.

If you look at the research papers:

Toxicity of graphene-family nanoparticles: a general review of the origins and mechanisms - PMC (nih.gov) Published online 2016 Oct 31. doi: 10.1186/s12989-016-0168-y

"In addition, several typical mechanisms underlying GFN toxicity have been revealed, for

instance, physical destruction, oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammatory response,

apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis. In these mechanisms, (toll-like receptors-) TLR-,

transforming growth factor β- (TGF-β-) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) dependent pathways are involved in the signaling pathway network, and oxidative stress plays a

crucial role in these pathways."

Oxidative stress is one of the main mechanisms of toxicity of graphene/nanotechnology.

Ivermectin is one of Zinc ionophores, but black cumin seeds (Nigella Sativa) turn to be Zinc ionophore too and can be used alternatively to Iver! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC7313527/

Also, quercetin and vitamin C in combination, are zinc ionophores.

So, there are natural alternatives.

But that's why Ivermectin will also work. And scientific studies confirm it. https://ivmmeta.com - especially for Prophylaxis.

sorry, im french. its really hard to read and understand it all

1 )do you mean ivermectine is toxic?

2) different quesiton : is it true or possible that ivermectine counter act graphene oxyde , once in the body, or not?

because it was in a video i saw long ago that ivermectine ' dissolved ' graphene in a SlovaK study on the ' PCR tests' sticks ful of hydrogel GO.. ( with microscop pictures )

during the study , they( the slovakiand ) say that they add one drop of Ivermectine to the hydrogel ( already self repliacating' )and all the Go shrinks and fade and they show the pictures.

did u see it?

thank you.

This is simply irrelevant.

It's not because of the virus that people are dying.

I'm just presenting scientific papers. According to their OWN teaching, if zinc stops viruses from replicating, they should prescribe zinc and its ionophores, not tell people there is no cure for Sars.

Of course, we can also delve into the issue of viruses, but that requires writing another post

Conclusion - if you accept or not the existence of a virus - "Covid" is not a "virus" - and this is EXACTLY the DEFINITION of WHO, Moderna, Pfizer, etc.

And if Covid is not caused by a virus, but by the toxicity of nanotechnology (and a regular flu may just trigger occurrence of these acute symptoms), then this whole "vaccination" campaign is wrong

According to Pfizer: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers (fda.gov) COVID-19 disease is caused by a coronavirus called SARSCoV-2. COVID-19 disease can be contracted through contact with another person who has the virus.

It is mainly a respiratory disease that can affect other organs. People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms, from mild symptoms to

severe illness leading to death. Symptoms can appear 2 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms may include: fever or chills; cough; shortness of breath; fatigue; muscle aches or body aches; headache; new loss of taste or smell; sore throat; congestion or runny nose;

nausea or vomiting; diarrhea.
