Cocktail of items

reportedly Donald Trump is taking:

October 5, 2020:

1. Dexamethasone, steroid
2. Remdesivir, anti-viral
3. Monoclonal antibody (-mab), immune function
4. Famotidine, antacid
5. Zinc, mineral
6. Vitamin D, oil based vitamin
7. Aspirin, mucolytic, lowers coagulation
8. Melatonin, improves night time immune system

Details and opinions for discussion:

1. Dexamethasone

• A steroid of the sugar type (dextrose)
• A gluco-corticosteroid (glucose), sugar
  
  • glucose and dextrose are the same molecule
• Two types of corticosteroids
  • gluco-corticosteroids
    • sugar based
    • longer half-life
    • affects
      • carbohydrates
      • proteins
      • lipids
  • mineral-corticosteroids
    • mineral based
    • shorter half-life
    • affects TRP receptors
      • sodium
      • potassium
      • calcium
      • hydrogen
    • TRP - Transient Receptor Potential

2. Remdesivir

• broad spectrum antiviral
• limited supply at this time
• Preliminary results from clinical trials indicate that remdesivir treatment is associated with some benefits (e.g., shorter time to clinical improvement and/or recovery)

Readers are cautioned that Remdesivir is not an approved treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2, but rather, is being investigated for and is currently available under an FDA emergency use authorization (EUA) for the treatment of severe COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.

3. Monoclonal Anti-Body (mab)

• a single 8 gram dose of REGN-COV2
• a mixture of two monoclonal antibodies
• REGN10933 and REGN10987
• Regeneron (NASDAQ: REGN), developer
• "compassionate use" (temporary authorization for use)

4. Famotidine

• antacid
• acid pump inhibitor
• histamine H2 receptor antagonist
• lowers tissue acids
• reduces density of oils that protect germs
• Covid-19 is an oil encased virus

5. Zinc

• mineral against germs, lowers copper
• zinc improves oxygenation
• copper reduces oxygenation, promotes fermentation
• zinc-bisglycinate is the most active of the chelates of zinc

6. Vitamin D

• oil based
• accumulates over time
• becomes toxic when accumulated
• stimulates cells to become hyperactive
• Covid-19 attaches to vitamin D receptors
• stimulates cell activity to replicate
  • alternative
    • VDRB, vitamin D receptor blocker
    • the -sartan blood pressure medications
    • olmesartan is the most active of class
    • many generic names
    • widely available in 10, 20, 40 mg tablets
  • other alternative
    • cinnamon oil
    • cinnamaldehyde
    • gives cinnamon its flavor and odor
    • weakens germ lipid encapsulations

7. Aspirin

• bark of willow trees
• causes bleeding disorders
• breaks up mucus like dexamethasone
• reduces platelets
• reduces ability for blood to clot
• bleeding disorders increased
• Covid-19 is hemorrhagic, a bleeding disorder

8. Melatonin

• balances with serotonin
• serotonin wakes up nerves
• melatonin calms nerves
• improved night time immunity
