"The immune system doesn’t function as efficiently in older adults as it does in younger people. The body's fever response to infection is not always automatic in elderly people. More than 20 percent of adults over age 65 who have serious bacterial infections do not have fevers." From  Fevers in Adults  article. While the classically trained MD just shoves breathing tubes down patient's throats, they may do better by raising body temperature in cases where the fever response to Covid-19 is not as high as it should be. There are many drugs that increase temperature; interestingly enough, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are listed as two of them.  See the list here Possible support for this theory may come from an analysis of elderly deaths in the tropics. Here, being that the ambient temperature is already high, the elderly may have less work to do to get their temperatures into fever range. I started researching this angle when--in daily temperature readings...

Consider this, Dr. Gupta: if all you do is stop the immune response, the virus would continue to replicate and maybe with a vengeance. It is more likely that hydroxychloroquine--if indeed it is working--hinders replication. It would do this by preventing the vacuole carrying the virus from bursting inside the cell giving the cell time to introduce proteolytic enzymes that degrade viral proteins. Once the virus bursts from the vacuole, it is probably too late for the cell to defend itself. This may be the same mechanism that make it useful in autoimmune diseases. If you don't have antigen presentation to immune cells, you don't trigger the hyperimmune response seen in these diseases. Would you call this immunosuppression? No, the immune cells are still functioning normally. What I can't explain is the drug's success in malaria but then I haven't had time to look into it. Although it just occurred to me that--assuming the malaria parasite reproduces inside a blood c...

This article on the efficacy of oxidative therapy  should be read by all in the medical profession because they are the cowards so afraid of government, that they LET PATIENTS DIE before trying an FDA unapproved therapy.  I'm talking about using unorthodox therapies that do not make it into mainstream medical practice because no pharmaceutical company would touch a therapy that was unpatentable--as almost all alternative therapies are. In dire situations like the present, we need to hogtie the hands of the FDA completely so that men and women in the medical profession who are capable of thinking outside the box, can do so. Hydrogen peroxide is used to disinfect medical equipment like PPE. Why not use it to treat Covid-19 patients? The inhalation of H2O2 has been shown to be relatively safe for inhalation at a concentration of 2.2 PPM.  This NIH article talks about safety of inhaled H2O2. . Now, I can't calculate 2.2 PPM in air and I can't test for it but if diagnosed ...
