Just five ended up going to a hospital, and none have died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor said his preferred treatments include many off-label medications along with vitamins and supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVitamin D is really important, ivermectin is important, fluvoxamine, hydroxychloroquine also works, it\u2019s just a lot of people have been convinced that it doesn\u2019t at this point, and are scared off of trying it,\u201d Haider told NTD\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntd.com\/dr-syed-haider-on-covid-19-and-the-omicron-variant_722153.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Capitol Report<\/a>.\u201d \u201cBut I prefer ivermectin, fluvoxamine, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, quercetin, zinc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic that has had mixed results against COVID-19 in clinical trials and isn\u2019t advised by the Food and Drug Administration to treat the disease. Fluvoxamine is an antidepressant that\u2019s gaining popularity for use against COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-malarial that has shown some success in treating the disease.&nbsp;Quercetin is a plant pigment that\u2019s not widely known yet as a treatment for COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haider has also recommended flax seed oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne really easy thing that anyone can do is just follow the directions on a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, you can get this at the store, can dilute it down to 1 percent swish swish it through your nose, or swish it through your mouth and drip it into your nose or use a neti pot to rinse out your nose. And it\u2019s not uncomfortable, it shouldn\u2019t be burning, if it\u2019s burning, you would want to dilute it a little bit more, and that kills the virus on contact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haider\u2019s list differs from the National Institutes of Health\u2019s recently updated&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov\/therapies\/statement-on-therapies-for-high-risk-nonhospitalized-patients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">treatment recommendations<\/a>&nbsp;for non hospitalized COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency recommends using Pfizer\u2019s COVID-19 pill, known as paxlovid; Merck\u2019s pill, called molnupiravir; GlaxoSmithKline\u2019s monoclonal antibody treatment, sotrovimab; or&nbsp;Gilead Sciences\u2019s remdesivir, administered through IV over multiple days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommendations stem from studies that demonstrate the therapeutics\u2019 effectiveness, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haider, however, doesn\u2019t agree with the remdesivir recommendation, noting it\u2019s never received an endorsement from the World Health Organization and that is has the side effect of causing kidney failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Omicron variant of the&nbsp;CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus&nbsp;seems to be causing less severe disease than the Delta variant, it\u2019s still landing some people in hospitals, highlighting the need&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":51874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1004],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51873"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51873"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51876,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51873\/revisions\/51876"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
