“The ICAM protocol has the potential to trigger the reopening of the country,” said Dr. Carlette Norwood-Williams, Director of Pharmacy at AdventHealth Ocala. “We will know the next step after our out-patient study.”She said ICAM works by reinforcing the immune system and protecting the lungs from inflammation.
Funny how Faucci didn't mention this?

This is part of the reason NY is seeing so few deaths from Covid now. I know 3 people working in 3 different hospitals, and all are using this protocol. Deaths in NY are a trickle compared to March-May. This is nothing earth shattering or conspiracy based. This is a treatment, not a cure.

Dr. Fauci probably hasn't mentioned it because they haven't started clinical trials yet (per your link.)

Not funny at all - he didn't mention it because there must be dozens of things like this:

"The scientists have not yet tested their combination of drugs in a clinical trial to prove beyond any doubt that the treatment is safe and effective."

This one may yet turn out to be THE WINNER - but so far, just experimental data, like many others. As a policy maker, he's not going to engage in speculative therapy discussions. He suffers a bit as a result - but he's not wrong to not mention it, in his position.



This one really - truly - does sound promising. No naysayers, so far. Let's get some "real" data...?

No, it simply isn't yet time to do anything that will lower the level of public fear and panic. Not until Nov 4.

He could have mentioned that they haven't started clinical trials but it is promising.

He mentioned his favorite drug though.

It's only confusing if you didn't read to the bottom of the article:


...They are beginning a clinical trial for the drug therapy to publish their findings and share the treatment with physicians around the world...
(emphasis mine)

Anecdotes are not evidence. See Dr. Zelenko's witchcraft for an example of that. I can't hope for the success of this therapy more strongly, but the proof will be in the pudding.

Nope. It's only promising because you believe what the hospital itself reported. That means nothing. They may very well be 100% correct in their results - but until the trial happens, that's the same as "nothing."

ICAM protocol is a combination of 1) Vitamin C & zinc, 2) corticosteroid 3) anticoagulant and 4) macrolide (Z-Pac).

Immune support, and medications to address symptoms. Seems like a good idea, but hardly a hallelujah cure.
