This forum has become an archive and historical record

[admin]

The primary purpose of this forum has always been to save lives through information, by inclusion of articles and videos by and about renowned epidemiologists, virologists, microbiologists, pathologists, immunologists, vaccinologists, academics and particularly, talented, dedicated, front line treating physicians, that have enjoyed 99+% success rates in early treatment of elderly and high-risk individuals ever since March of 2020. Exploring the actual science behind the treatment of COVID-19.
See their qualifications in posts below.

Over the last year and a half this forum has become a historical record of the atrocity, that has been the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic and, as of this writing, the horrific and completely unnecessary deaths of over 900,000 Americans and millions more worldwide. With the U.S. logging some of the highest death rates in the world because Americans were essentially deprived of early treatment with $20 hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin multi-drug/nutraceutical protocols.



This format was chosen because it organizes the material well, while the search function allows easy access to subjects with word and phrase searches. Additionally, each thread may include additional posts, for further confirmation or expansion of the subject. I have also bolded and even enlarged some fonts to magnify some of the more important points in some posts, to allow the reader to scan for a few moments to help them determine whether they wish to pursue the subject further. Threads of subjects that are more important, are often bumped toward the top of the category, so they are easier to spot.

It is interesting to note that if everyone had received the care that patients did online from myfreedoctor.com, and were recipients of their 99.99+% success rate in treatment - having lost only 4 patients out of 150,000 - at that rate the total number of COVID deaths in the U.S. over the last 2 years could theoretically have been just 24, instead of 900,000. Even at an easily achievable 99% early treatment success rate, 900,000 deaths would have been 9,000 deaths instead.

While we lost 80,000 Americans to the flu in the 2017-2018 flu season alone.

Pierre Kory

Pierre Kory is the former Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin. He is considered one of the world pioneers in the use of ultrasound by physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients. He helped develop and run the first national courses in Critical Care Ultrasonography in the U.S., and served as a Director of these courses with the American College of Chest Physicians for several years. He is also the senior editor of the most popular textbook in the field titled “Point of Care Ultrasound,” now in its 2nd edition and that has been translated into 7 languages worldwide. He has led over 100 courses nationally and internationally, teaching physicians this now-standard skill in his specialty.

Dr. Kory was also one of the U.S. pioneers in the research, development, and teaching of performing therapeutic hypothermia to treat post-cardiac arrest patients. In 2005, his hospital was the first in New York City to begin regularly treating patients with therapeutic hypothermia. He then served as an expert panel member for New York City’s Project Hypothermia, a collaborative project between the Fire Department of New York and Emergency Medical Services. This project created cooling protocols within a network of 44 regional hospitals – along with a triage and transport system that directed patients to centers of excellence in hypothermia treatment – of which his hospital was one of the first.

Known as a Master Educator, Dr. Kory has won numerous departmental and divisional teaching awards in every hospital he has worked. He has delivered hundreds of courses and invited lectures throughout his career.

In collaboration with Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Kory pioneered the research and treatment of septic shock patients with high doses of intravenous ascorbic acid. His work was the first to identify the critical relationship between the time of initiation of therapy and survival in septic shock patients – an aspect of the therapy that led to understanding all the failed randomized controlled trials that employed delayed therapy.

Dr. Kory has led ICU’s in multiple COVID-19 hotspots throughout the pandemic. Having led his old ICU in New York City during their initial surge in May for 5 straight weeks, he then travelled to other COVID-19 hotspots to run COVID ICU’s in Greenville, South Carolina and Milwaukee, WI during their surges. He has co-authored 5 influential papers on COVID-19, with the most impactful being a paper that was the first to support the diagnosis of early COVID-19 respiratory disease as an organizing pneumonia, thus explaining the critical response of the disease to corticosteroids.

Paul Marik

Prior to co-founding the FLCCC, Dr. Marik was best known for his revolutionary work in developing a lifesaving protocol for sepsis, a condition that causes more than 250,000 deaths yearly in the U.S. alone.

Dr. Marik is an accomplished physician with special knowledge in a diverse set of medical fields, with specific training in Internal Medicine, Critical Care, Neurocritical Care, Pharmacology, Anesthesia, Nutrition, and Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. He is a former tenured Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in Norfolk, Virginia. As part of his commitment to research and education, Dr. Marik has written over 500 peer-reviewed journal articles, 80 book chapters and authored four critical care books. His efforts have provided him the distinction of the second most published critical care physician in the world. He has been cited over 43,000 times in peer-reviewed publications and has an H-index of 77. He has delivered over 350 lectures at international conferences and visiting professorships. As a result of his contributions, he has been the recipient of numerous teaching awards, including the National Teacher of the Year award by the American College of Physicians in 2017.

In January 2022 Dr. Marik retired from EVMS to focus on continuing his leadership of the FLCCC and has already co-authored over 10 papers on therapeutic aspects of treating COVID-19. In March 2022 Dr. Marik received a commendation by unanimous vote by the Virginia House of Delegates for “his courageous treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients and his philanthropic efforts to share his effective treatment protocols with physicians around the world.”

Joseph Varon

Dr, Varon has contributed more than 830 peer-reviewed journal articles, 10 full textbooks, and 15 dozen book chapters to medical literature. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for Critical Care and Shock and Current Respiratory Medicine Reviews. Dr. Varon has won many prestigious awards and is considered one of the top physicians in the United States. Dr. Varon is also known for his groundbreaking contributions to Critical Care Medicine in the fields of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and therapeutic hypothermia. He has developed and studied technology for selective brain cooling. With Dr. Carlos Ayus, he co-described the hyponatremia associated with extreme exercise syndrome also known as the “Varon-Ayus syndrome.” With Mr. James Boston, he co-described the healthcare provider anxiety syndrome also known as “Boston-Varon syndrome.”  Along with Professor Luc Montagnier (Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine in 2008), Dr. Varon created the Medical Prevention and Research Institute in Houston, Texas, which conducts work on basic sciences projects. Dr. Varon has appeared in numerous national and international television and radio programs showing his techniques and care of patients. During the past 11 months of the COVID pandemic, Dr. Varon has become a world leader for his work on COVID19 and his co-development of the MATH+ protocol to care for these patients. For this he has won multiple awards, including a proclamation by the Mayor of the City of Houston as “Dr. Joseph Varon Day”.

Jose Iglesias

Dr. Iglesias is board-certified in Internal Medicine, Nephrology, Critical Care, and is a specialist in Hypertension of the American Society of Hypertension. He currently is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of the N.J. School of Osteopathic Medicine, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. He is the medical director of the John J. DePalma Renal Institute of Central Jersey, one of the largest dialysis centers in New Jersey. His interests are all aspects of clinical and critical care nephrology, care of the renal transplant patient, hypertension, critical care, and septic shock medicine.  He is involved in active clinical research in many areas of critical illness including septic shock, congestive heart failure, and acute kidney injury. His randomized controlled trial published in the major medical journal Chest was the first to demonstrate markedly reduced requirements for vasopressor therapy in septic shock patients treated with intravenous ascorbic acid. He has worked tirelessly at bedsides in ICUs of multiple hospitals in New Jersey throughout the pandemic. His rapidly accumulated clinical insights and expertise helped develop the MATH+ hospital treatment protocol for COVID-19.
