Quotes
“We have to know everything a patient is taking,
not just their prescription, but over the counter drugs, dietary
supplements, everything”
“The thing is, patients may read this and think if thats the dose
they recommend…maybe I can take more and that would give me extra
protection”
“When taken together, and in higher doses they
act synergistically”
“I am a big believer of alternative therapies if they
work, let’s try them, but there is an overall act of evidence for
the treatment in COVID-19”
