An Effective Treatment for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
“Stanford University School of Medicine, UAB School of Medicine and National Academy of Sciences researchers, March 13, 2020 “
“Recent guidelines from South Korea and China report that chloroquine is an effective antiviral therapeutic treatment against Coronavirus Disease 2019.”
“Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay.”
“Chloroquine is an inexpensive, globally available drug that has been in widespread human use since 1945 against malaria, autoimmune and various other conditions.”
“Prophylactic effect of chloroquine. In the case of chloroquine treatment prior to infection, the impairment of terminal glycosylation of ACE2 may result in reduced binding affinities between ACE2 and SARS-CoV spike protein and negatively influence the initiation of SARS-CoV infection.”
In addition, the study also shows that chloroquine was very effective even when the drug was added 3–5 hours after infection, suggesting an antiviral effect even after the establishment of infection.“
“Chloroquine’s entrance into the organelle likely constipates the whole system. An analogy is that the virus is like a garbage facility which has to break down and burn up the garbage and if it cannot, the garbage piles up and the city becomes paralyzed. This is likely the case for any virus, cancer cells or any other condition that is dependent on turning over the worn out or incorrectly synthesized proteins.”
“The UK has banned the export of Chloroquine. Chloroquine was never on this list before. This likely happened because of the growing body of evidence of chloroquine’s effectiveness against coronavirus.“
“The nitrogens in chloroquine and quinines in general prevent acidification by absorbing a high amount of hydrogens that then interact with nitrogen, and,in turn, transfer a positive charge to chloroquine.”
“Chloroquine can both prevent and treat coronavirus in primate cells.”
“Given chloroquine’s human safety profile and existence, it can be implemented today in the U.S., Europe and the rest of the world.”
“Medical doctors may be reluctant to prescribe chloroquine to treat COVID-19 since it is not FDA approved for this use.”
“The United States of America and other countries should immediately authorize and indemnify medical doctors for prescribing chloroquine to treat COVID-19.”
Coronavirus: Chloroquine yields positive data in Covid-19 trial
“Chloroquine phosphate could help treat the new coronavirus disease, Covid-19.”
“Chloroquine, an anti-malarial medication, was selected after several screening rounds of thousands of existing drugs.”
