Quercetin and The War on Zinc
Quercetin and The War on Zinc
On being a Mineral Mule
I’m going to frame the last 2 years a little bit differently.
I want to talk about The War on Zinc, a war that you haven’t heard of.
Have you ever wondered why all the early treatment protocols and combinations always include Zinc?
The famous two are:
Ivermectin (IVM) + Zinc + etc.
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) + Zinc + etc.
And now with the banning of IVM and HCQ we have:
Quercetin (QUE) + Zinc + etc.
What’s the common theme, yep, it’s Zinc.
Have you wondered why? Well, it inhibits viral replication[1].
Now, stop and think about that for a moment. The pathway from virus to disease IS replication.
You need a certain about of virus particles or “viral load” to then have “disease” which means that you have “symptoms” such as coughing and sneezing that the virus uses to “transmit” itself to another person.
So, if the virus cannot “replicate” it cannot reach its target “viral load” to make you ill and infectious to others.
So, anything that stops replication stops the whole sad story in its tracks.
That thing is Zinc.
Imagine your cells as having photocopiers in them (virus copiers). The reason that the virus wants to enter your cells is so that it can use those photocopiers to copy itself many times over to reach its target viral load.
Now think of Zinc as the sledgehammer to the copier. No more copying, no more viral replication, no more viral load and no more symptoms and transmission.
IVM and HCQ have many mechanisms of action against SARS-Cov-2 but one of their most important mechanisms is that they act as an “ionophore” for Zinc. Ionophore is a fancy word for Mule, they “smuggle” Zinc into the cells so that it can go to work on the copier.
It has seemed as if it was a War on IVM and a War on HCQ, and off course it has been, but I think it’s really been a War on Zinc. Without Zinc, I doubt the myriad of early treatment protocols would be as effect as they have been.
But with the banning of IVM and HCQ, Quercetin (QUE) has emerged as another effective mule ready to smuggle Zinc into the copier room.
If you want to get technical on QUE, here is some further reading[2][3][4].
They haven’t tried to ban QUE yet, and I don’t think they will. They achieved their jabbing objectives by going after IVM and HCQ so the rewards for going after QUE are small to none.
That’s good for us, it means we can put together simple, over the counter early treatment protocols that will improve the odds of getting on top of Covid quickly while the viral load is low.
In my mind, the battle got framed along these lines:
There are two groups of people.
Team mRNA
One group want to smuggle high risk mRNA (as a proxy for all the different genetic material used), using Lipid Nanoparticles (etc.) into your cells so that they produce dangerous spike protein to train your immune system to temporarily fight SARS-Cov-2 and temporarily reduce severe disease (dubious claim but let’s go with it).
Team Zinc
While a second group wants to smuggle safe Zinc into your cells, using safe IVM (HCQ, QUE etc) so that it can stop SARS-Cov-2 in its tracks and prevent replication.
Pick a Team.
While we are on the subject, one of the reasons that chicken soup has worked so well over the years as a remedy for colds and flus is because it has been a source of Zinc!
Zelenko’s Protocol, especially for low risk patients, is quite easy to replicate in Australia:
Treatment Protocol – Dr. Vladimir Zelenko MD
Supportive care with fluids, fever control, and rest
Elemental Zinc 50mg 1 time a day for 7 days
Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day for 7 days
Vitamin D3 5000iu 1 time a day for 7 days
Optional over the counter options
Quercetin 500mg 2 times a day for 7 days or
Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day for 7 days
Note that it is Elemental Zinc.
Zinc comes in many different forms, and you need to figure out how to convert the maths to Elemental Zinc. For example Zinc Citrate 30mg would convert into 10mg of Elemental Zinc.
Zelenko’s Protocol maps over the World Health Council’s Early Treatment Guidelines also (see page 23):
Early Covid-19 treatment guidelines: A practical approach to home-based care for healthy families
And it maps over the FLCCC I-Mask+ Protocol

I also want to say a word or two about Ivermectin before I wrap up.
I hadn’t realised until listening to Robert Kennedy Jr’s book (The Real Anthony Fauci) that IVM has SO MANY different mechanisms of action. 20 that we know of. One of them is acting as a Zinc mineral mule, but there are 19 other actions.
Here are all 20 mechanisms[5] of action:
A. Direct action on SARS-CoV-2
Level 1: Action on SARS-CoV-2 cell entry
Level 2: Action on importin (IMP) superfamily
Level 3: Action as an ionophore
B. Action on host targets for viral replication
Level 4: Action as an antiviral
Level 5: Action on viral replication and assembly
Level 6: Action on posttranslational processing of viral polyproteins
Level 7: Action on karyopherin (KPNA/KPNB) receptors
C. Action on host targets for inflammation
Level 8: Action on interferon (INF) levels
Level 9: Action on Toll- like receptors (TLRs)
Level 10: Action on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway
Level 11: Action on the JAK-STAT pathway, PAI-1 and COVID-19 sequalae
Level 12: Action on P21 activated kinase 1 (PAK1)
Level 13: Action on Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels
Level 14: Action on allosteric modulation of P2X4 receptor
Level 15: Action on high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)
Level 16: Action as an immunomodulator on lung tissue and olfaction
Level 17: Action as an anti-inflammatory
D. Action on other host targets
Level 18: Action on plasmin and annexin A2
Level 19: Action on CD147 on the RBC
Level 20: Action on mitochondrial ATP under hypoxia on cardiac function
Withholding IVM (and HCQ) from the world is direct action to kill people. It is direct action with intent. When you kill someone with intent, it’s called murder.

My Ivermectin arrived from India this week, good to have it in my arsenal. I have also had success in past flu seasons with much higher intake of Vit C (10,000mg per day) and Vit D (20,000iu per day) for a few days at start of symptoms.
As Dr Zelenko states: Ivermectin, HCQ and Quercetin are the guns; Zinc is the bullet. Thus both parts are needed. One scam that Oxford does is to test each individually, knowing that the outcome would be.
I have been puzzled since March 2020 when that long-haired French doctor used only HCQ + AZ. His results were good but could have been better if he added Zinc. He, of course, had heard of Dr Z.
