What's happening with Math+ therapies for COVID?
« on: 06/07/2020 16:18:17 »
Max wants to know:

Why has there been such a lack of interest in the Math+ therapy (Methylprednisolone, Ascorbic acid, Thiamine, Heparin) for Covid-19 that has been used with such apparent success on patients in some Texas hospitals since mid-April? Surely news of it has spread through the medical community around the world (including Britain) in the time since then? With an apparently good success rate and relatively few side-effects, why on earth isn’t it being adopted generally, even ahead of Dexamethasone, for patients who show signs of rapid deterioration due to overwhelming inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2?


What do you think?

I think the reason we don't hear about it in the UK is that doctors have been muzzled. Max's question is part of the wider question:- why is so much information being kept under wraps? Why have the media (and others) in the UK agreed embagos on facts to the extent of knowingly misinforming the populace.

Think about that for a moment...
If it was being kept under wraps...
we wouldn't know about it.

Looking at the figures on https://covid19stats.global/country/ it does look like the US is ahead of the pack on treatment and we should be hearing more about Math+ and variations.
