"The involvement of the Secretary of HUD and MyPillow.com in pushing a dubious product at the highest levels should give Americans no comfort at night about their health and safety during a raging p******c." — an unnamed administration official, discussing President Trump's fascination with Oleandrin, an unproven new C***D treatment being flogged by two of his advisers.

Oleandrin — a botanical extract from the oleander plant — was suggested to the president by Carson in a meeting in the Oval Office in July.

Before oleandrin, Trump touted hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, to treat c****av***s. Health experts — including the Food and Drug Administration — have advised against using the drug as a treatment.

Now Trump is eyeing another unproven c****av***s "cure," at the recommendation of Housing and Urban Development Sec. Ben Carson, and MyPillow's Mike Lindell Axios reported Sunday.

Researchers found that oleandrin could enhance cancer therapies due to the way the botanical extract reacts to cells, Axios reported, but there isn't much public evidence available testing oleandrin's effect on patients infected with C****-**.

Once again, Trump is hoping to find a miracle cure before the e******n.

And then there’s the money trail: MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell, who's known to be well-connected with the president, also expressed support for the experimental extract. Lindell also has a financial stake in the company developing the oleandrin product, Phoenix Biotechnology.

This is looking like another reckless use of the p**********l podium.

Why not post it under your main identity?

Except the other one does have some success and is cheap. No money in it for Big Pharma - which also has too much influence over democrats - so of course it gets shouted down.

Wake up fellow opp, If you watch the news, not msm you would know hydroxychloroquine has facts to prove it aids in treating the W***n V***s'

You are aware that the majority of herbal medicine has been around for thousands of years and most do not have harmful side effects? Most, if not all, chemicals have generational side effects. You know that the Amazon rain forest is a medicine chest, many believe the cure for cancer is encased in the flora of this forest.

Yes I am aware and I believe many cures may be found there.
All I am saying is let scientific investigation determine the validity of any treatment before rolling it out to the masses.

The problem with herbal remedies is that many are supposed to be used as a preventative rather than a curative. Some work as well or better than modern prescription meds, and some are pretty much worthless. I for one do not trust the FDA to be able to tell the difference. I have pulmonary fibrosis. The only medicine that has been proven to work was available in Europe and in most of the rest of the world for ten damn years before the asswipes at the FDA would okay it for use in this country. How many people died from bureaucratic foot d**gging?

A lot of doctors/hospitals are still using hydroxychloroquine with much success.
It's on the back page or not at all.

The medical community is highly linked and constantly sharing info. If a lot of doctors/hospitals were having so much success with hydroxychloroquin, then everyone would be using it.

When "scientists" gets their hands on real medicine, they turn it over to big phara to sanitize and chemically copy the properties. Always for a BIG profit.

I pray your condition has improved.

We have used herbs for many generations. Most are very effective.

Malaria is the leading cause of death in Uganda. They have used HCQ to combat Malaria.

Uganda's Health Minister Dr Jane Ruth Aceng said that even if hydroxychloroquine is still undergoing testing, it has the ability to stop the spread of c****av***s by stabilizing red blood cells so that uptake of oxygen by hemoglobin is promoted. (A recent study by Chinese researchers revealed that C****-** attacks hemoglobin in the red blood cells and renders them incapable of t***sporting oxygen.)

Uganda has a population of 45 million people. Uganda has reported 1,560 confirmed C***d cases and 15 deaths. Currently, Uganda is treating 53 C***d patients.


India also has long had problems with Malaria. India makes up over 75% of the total number of Malaria cases in Southeast Asia. India too has administered HCQ to combat Malaria.

India, with a population of 1.4 billion people, is the second most populated country on earth, yet India has had remarkable success in keeping C***d infections in check using HCQ.

Currently, India has recorded 2,701,572 confirmed cases and 51,923 deaths.

Experts Explain: The case for using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to treat C****-**

HCQ Helps Contain C****-** Cases: New Evidence and a Major Retraction

This Indian slum contained a possible C****-** disaster with hydroxychloroquine

On July 9, 2020, Asia's biggest and densest slum shocked the world by announcing just one new positive C****-** case despite being a cluster and hotspot.

Dharavi is no ordinary slum. It is one of the densest in the world, housing more than a million people. It provided some of the background for the Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire.

Dharavi contains pockets where as many as 650,000 people are crammed into 2.5 square kilometers. In comparison, New York City has only around 95,605 people for 2.5 square kilometers.

India feared the worst when a cluster outbreak of C****-** was reported in Dharavi. It could have become the biggest C****-** disaster zone in the world. But by using proactive measures, Dharavi contained the v***s.

Media around the world, like the Los Angeles Times, have reported the success. Even the World Health Organization praised Dharavi.

Reports credit the huge turnaround to various factors. Most focused on Dharavi's use of widespread testing and contact tracing. One is the use of an anti-malarial drug. But they ignored the policy most responsible. Indian doctors used hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for prophylaxis (preventive) treatment — the same drug the American media have politicized.

Dharavi's C****-** infection rate dropped drastically from April through June. In July, new infections were very low, almost reaching zero on July 9.

Officials have credited this turnaround to "a combination of hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, and zinc tablets along with homeopathic medicines."

HCQ has been widely used across India to treat early-stage C****-**. It is also prescribed for prophylaxis among those who have come into contact with people who have tested positive.

In India, HCQ has always been legal. The government's official C****-** task force, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), highly recommends it for high-risk people like medical practitioners.

The ICMR guidelines recommend prophylactic use of HCQ for the following categories:

1) "all asymptomatic healthcare workers involved in containment and treatment of C***D19 and asymptomatic healthcare workers working in non-C***D hospitals/non-C***D areas of C***D hospitals/blocks";
2)"symptomatic frontline workers, such as surveillance workers deployed in containment zones and paramilitary/police personnel involved in C****-** related activities"; and
3) "symptomatic household contacts of laboratory confirmed cases."

In other words, HCQ is for anyone with the slightest chance of contracting C****-**.

So trump is invested in hydro, while mike and carson are invested in oleo. Makes sense. Don't waste a good health crisis to make some money.

Irrelevant. Big Pharma is calling the shots.
