Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack Vitamin Cocktail: Review 2021

Image
The  Zelenko COVID-19 Protocols  was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of COVID-19, or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin, zinc, vitamin D and C protocol for low-risk patients as wel

9 Best Pulse Oximeters in Malaysia 2021 - Price, Ratings and Reviews

Image
The COVID-19 ( 'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease ) pandemic has affected the entire world. With the number of cases increasing daily, people have already started looking for methods to keep a check on their own health. The pulse oximeter is one such device that has been widely used since this coronavirus pandemic started spreading in different countries. It is a small electronic device that measures your oxygen saturation level and your heart rate as well. Collecting data on oxygen levels is crucial because people with COVID-19 may suffer from "silent hypoxia", a dangerous condition in which they do not outwardly appear to be short of breath, but are  confirmed to be so through a pulse oximeter test . Pulse oximeters, or pulse ox, measure the amount of oxygenated blood (SpO2) in your body, giving medical professionals an idea of how much oxygen your body is carrying to vital organs and tissues.  Patients with COVID

15 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm, a Severe Complication from COVID-19 (Updated July 2021)

Image
As of July 2021, there are still more than 3,000  clinical trials of COVID-19  treatments or vaccines that are either ongoing or recruiting patients. New ones are being added every day. The drugs or treatments being tested range from vaccines, repurposed flu treatments to failed ebola drugs, to stem cell therapy, to malaria treatments that were first developed decades ago. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hypercoagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to explain the severe reaction of tho

Where to Buy N95 Masks and Surgical Masks in Malaysia? 2021 Updated Price and Promotion

Image
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, masks must be worn by passengers on all forms of public transportation. Transportation operators, such as crew, drivers, conductors, etc. are also required to wear masks.  When you wear a mask, you protect others as well as yourself. Masks work best when everyone wears one. This is because masks act as a barrier to help prevent your respiratory droplets from reaching others. Studies show that masks reduce the spray of droplets when worn over the nose and mouth. Even if you do not feel sick, you should still wear a mask. This is because several studies have found that people may still have COVID-19 even if they don't show any symptoms. Masks can be used alone or, for increased protection, particularly for the eyes, with a face shield. There are many types of masks and the selection will depend on many factors such as effectiveness, price and comfort. Where to Buy N95 and Surgical Masks in Malaysia?

Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

Image
Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or gluconic acid, so the main difference between zinc

Where to Buy Ivermectin for Humans in Malaysia?

Image
Ivermectin is an FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug widely used for treating several neglected tropical diseases, including onchocerciasis, strongyloidiasis and helminthiases for more than four decades.  The “off-label” use of Ivermectin gained global attention due to some promising results by case studies and clinical trials. The US FDA has not approved Ivermectin for use in treating or preventing Covid-19 in humans, and the WHO only recommends the use of Ivermectin in the setting of clinical trials, in which patients are monitored closely by experienced clinicians and researchers for safety and efficacy.  There is an on-going need for adequately powered, well-designed, and well-conducted clinical trials for evidence-based guidance on the role of Ivermectin in the treatment of COVID-19. Under the circumstances, the Ministry of Health Malaysia and the Institute for Clinical Research (ICR) have initiated a multicentre open-label randomized controlled trial.

NAC vs NAD vs NR vs Niacin vs NMN: What Are the Differences?

Image
NAC vs NAD vs NR vs Niacin? Due to the small alphabetical difference, these supplements are often mixed up and confused by most consumers. We will cover the essentials and explain about each of these supplements below. NAD NAD is derived from Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). NR is one of the 3 main forms of Niacin (vitamin B3). NAD+ is a substrate for a number of important enzymes, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which is known as a classic longevity protein. NAD+ is also essential in metabolic processes such as creating ATP in your mitochondria. It accepts and donates electrons and is used in oxidation-reduction reactions in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The levels of NAD in our body determine the speed of aging process. In younger cells and tissues, the levels of NAD are higher. As a result, younger people tend to have better physical activity, cognitive function and potential for cell repair and regeneration. As we grow, the levels of NAD
