Steward Health Care Puts Patients at Risk: HCQ Zpak Zinc COVID19 access. Zelenko Protocol.

Steward Health Care puts patient's lives at risk, in my view, because as per my own first hand experience they are blocking access to a Life Saving treatment in the from of Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc taken simultaneously Early in treatment for COVID19 positive patients.
Related video commentary:


The Zelenko Protocol, which when I asked for this I was de facto booted from two Steward clinics and three Steward doctors: "Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice a day for 5 days Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 5 days Zinc sulfate 220 mg once a day for 5 days" Throw everything at the wall and see what works. Battlefield style medicine. This drug combo, keeps people alive, if it's used Early in treatment and at the appropriate dosing. Zelenko protocol: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pjgHlqI-ZuKOziN3txQsN5zz62v3K043pR3DdhEmcos/view Dr. Ivette Lozano: https://youtu.be/VSnSmPGh1Ac @AAPSonline letter with Many good references on utility and efficacy: https://aapsonline.org/aaps-letter-asking-gov-ducey-to-rescind-executive-order-concerning-hydroxychloroquine-in-covid-19 During the week of May 18, 2020 medical assistant Brandon under Dr. John Luras sent me an in-chart email basically stating that the Trump pills don't work. Later this message from Dr. Luras's MA indicating clear political bias was Deleted by him or by Steward staff. Nevertheless, I have quoted my reply to Brandon (a reply they also deleted from their charting message system):

My 5-19-2020 letter to Steward Health Care, which resulted in their booting me:

Letter sent to Dr. Luras on May 19, 2020, showing the message which MA Brandon deleted and my response. Brandon's message was deleted by Steward staff and probably by Brandon himself, to hide his & their apparent political bias.

Hi Dr. Luras,
You aren’t doing telehealth, and your clinic is blocking people who have a cough and first requiring a COVID19 test. Then, next, as per your MA Brandon, you are refusing prophylactic treatment for COVID19-positive patients.
People hate & loathe President Trump. To me the man embodies the working class values of my old style Democrat father.
Brandon Hays11:21 AM (5 hours ago) If someone has a cough or other symptoms, we have them get a Covid 19 test, and we will receive the results usually within 24 hours. If negative, then we will see them in clinic if needed. If positive, there is not an acceptable treatment despite what our President is saying. If positive, quarantine for 14 to 21 days, if develops shortness of breath or other significant symptoms then needs to be seen at an emergency room for possible hospitalization.
My response to Brandon:
The President of the USA wants to keep people alive. So do I.

Waiting for peer reviewed studies isn't going to cut it. How many non-presidential sources of efficacy-evidence for the HCQ, AZ, Z combo shall be discounted by detractors of the President?
I don’t base my stance on what President Trump says, I base it on what actual medical professionals in the field are saying, and they are saying this course of treatment helps with given up front and especially before people are put on ventilators.Peer reviewed studies? We don’t have time to wait.
Keep people alive, instead. I’m a high risk patient regarding COVID19.
I demand access to medical professionals willing to engage in reasonable battlefield medicine to deal with this Chernobyl-9/11 flavor pandemic. The President is the President, with his own personality. But I’ve noted & quoted & shall include proof that backs up my strong stance.

In the gilded halls of medicine, you have more access to reach out to these people than I do as a lowly patient. But I can also read, and as a higher risk patient I want to stay alive if I catch this disease. Must patients go doctor shopping just to stay alive?
Ask Dr. Zelenko. Ask Dr. Lozano. Ask the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Sincerely,

Letter from patient. May 19, 2020
If I as a patient test positive for COVID19, I would like access to the following drug combination protocol:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice a day for 5 days2. Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 5 days3. Zinc sulfate 220 mg once a day for 5 days
Basis of treatment plan: 
1. The observations and work of Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko of New York.2. The observations and work of Dr. Ivette Lozano of Texas.3. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
As per battlefield medicine style evidence, the three medications & supplements noted above are useful when given at first sign of any COVID19 symptoms.
I am a high risk patient for COVID19. Sarcoidosis. Obesity. Coronary artery disease. I want access to this treatment regimen if I test positive for COVID19. 
Enclosed is further evidence. Please scan this entire letter including all attachments into my Steward Healthcare chart.
---end of quote After my May 19 letter was received by Dr. John Luras, a joint Steward office manager over both Salt Lake Internal Medicine and Steward Primary Care Murray called me and told me, in a whining & complaining tone: "you've been sending many messages and emails to Dr. Luras." The manager went on to tell me that Dr. Luras was "not going to practice medicine that way" regarding the treatment I was requesting, and she said that I should seek medical care elsewhere. The manager as patronizing and acted like a rude brick wall. Thus, a boot from Salt Lake Internal Medecine and Dr. Luras After this phone call I emailed Dr. An Dinh, who's the husband of Tamiyah Dinh DNP, and these both work at Steward Primary Care Murray. I asked Dr. An Dinh if I could have access to the drug combo. About 10 minutes after I sent that email to Dr. Dinh, the Same office manager who shitcanned me from Dr. Luras's clinic told me Dr. An Dinh would not be helping me either, if I get COVID19 and request this treatment. One key issue here is political bias. The MA for Dr. John Luras used President Trump's name in his response. Then, this message was Deleted by Steward Staff (most likely by the MA itself). Political bias against the President. My May 22, 2020 "letter from patient" which I've sent to the two Steward clinics which shitcanned me, and to the CEO of Steward Health Care:
======================== quote of 5-22-2020 patient letter to Steward Health Care
Letter from patient.  May 22, 2020 
Yesterday I received a phone call from a woman who from what I recall identified herself as the office manager for both Dr. John Luras’s office and the office of Drs. An & Tamiyah Dinh, Salt Lake Internal Medicine and Steward Primary Care Murray. This phone call was a de facto booting of myself, and because of myself, a booting of my family of six, from Steward Health Care, Primary Care Clinics.
This de facto booting came in retaliation for my request and proposal that I as a high risk patient regarding COVID19 infection, be allowed to have access to the Zelenko Protocol, as advocated for by Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko or New York, and by Dr. Ivette Lozano of Texas, and the member doctors of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
This week the medical assistant for Dr. Luras sent a now-deleted-by-Steward-staff Athena Health charting system message basically stating that the “Trump pills” don’t work for prophylactic use.
The MA used Trump’s name in this now-deleted message. The message from MA Brandon was present in my chart earlier this week. Now it’s gone, and apparently deleted to hide the fact that this message was a clear indication of political bias on the part of Steward medical staff.
Who is Dr. Zelenko? An orthodox Jewish medical doctor, with his Zelenko Protocol (HCQ, Zpak, Zinc combo).
I don’t know the political or social views of Texas doctor Dr. Ivette Lozano, who de facto uses & advocates for the Zelenko Protocol.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is a group which is basically anti to socialist medicine, and pro to private medical practice.
Do facts become non-facts because conservatives state them?
Thus, you & the Steward Medical Group crap-canned my family, for where the word crap could be restated with a word that starts with the letter S. Why? Because we asked for the so-called “Trump Pills,” which Save Lives. Politically based persecution of myself and my family.
~$30,000 knee replacements surgery session with retired Doctor Lonnie Paulos at a Steward hospital. Many primary and urgent care visits with Steward. Other Steward hospital visits.
My family and I tossed onto the street, by Steward, because of your observationally clear & apparent political bias.
This pandemic is a battlefield medicine situation, and in a situation like this we don’t have time to wait for nice nice peer reviewed studies.
You trashed my family and cast us to the wind, because we happen to find useful info in the so-called Trump Pills.
Medical Malpractice. Incompetence. Obtuse & inane responses. A refusal to look at facts because of your apparently being blinded on who it is who’s saying the words Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, and Zinc.
You have de facto booted me and my five of my family members. You are putting patient’s lives at risk.
De facto booted from Steward Primary Care and Salt Lake Internal Medicine, and presumably other Steward clinics:
[Myself and my family]
Because of the apparently politically motivated & politically biased, slipshod, patient-risking way you’ve dealt to me and thus by extension with my family, you won’t be seeing us again, in your retrograde clinics with doctors who aren’t doctors. In an emergency throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Whereas you do the opposite, and put patient’s lives at risk.

Dr. Zelenko's open letter, which I sent to Dr. Luras, and to Drs. An (MD) & Tamiyah Dinh (DNP). Completely ignored by the fools, and the moron officer manager for both, who're putting patient's lives at risk:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko M.D.Board Certified Family Practitioner501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950845-782-0000 
April 28, 2020
To all medical professionals around the world:
The current sensitivity and specificity of the RT-PCR nasal swab test for Covid-19 is 99% and 66%, respectively.[1] In simple terms, when the test is positive, it is very accurate to diagnose patients with Covid-19. However, when the test is negative it is wrong 33% of the time.
In most outpatient situations, the RT-PCR Covid-19 test takes two to three days to get the results. This is unacceptable since it is imperative to initiate treatment for viral infections as soon as possible.[2] This clinical principle is derived from the recommendations of treatment for other viral infections (i.e. influenza, herpes zoster, HIV, etc).
According to the CDC, symptoms of Covid-19 may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. The clinical symptoms of Covid-19 are:[3]
* Cough and/or shortness of breath * Fever or chills (with or without rigors)* New loss of taste or smell* Myalgia * Headache and/or sore throat* Diarrhea
Given the urgency of the situation, I recommend initiating treatment based on clinical suspicion as soon as possible, even without confirmatory testing.
I developed the following treatment protocol for the prehospital setting and have seen very positive results:
1. Any patient with shortness of breath is treated.2. Any patient in a high-risk category with mild symptoms is treated.3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2); as is well known, these patients likely self resolve.
My outpatient treatment regimen is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice a day for 5 days2. Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 5 days3. Zinc sulfate 220 mg once a day for 5 days
The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (cites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. The use of azithromycin prevents secondary bacterial infections and has antiviral effects.[4] These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.
Since 3/15/20, my team has seen approximately 1450 patients in Monroe, New York with either test proven or clinically suspected coronavirus infection. The majority of the patients were treated with only supportive care. The patients with shortness of breath or who are in the high risk category were treated with the above regimen (approximately 405 patients at this point).
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had two deaths, six hospitalizations for pneumonia, and four intubations (all extubated now). In addition, to my knowledge there have not been any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.
In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives. With much respect,
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko M.D.________________[1] medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.05.20053355v2.full.pdf+html[2] cdc.gov/flu/professionals/antivirals [3] cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html[4] pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32302411/
