I learned as much as I could about the disease, developed comprehensive treatment protocols and the standard operating procedures (SOPs) that go with the treatments.<\/p>\n<p>I came up with the idea that Covid-19 is a viral, inflammatory and a clotting disease. In a way, the virus can be described as a terrorist that incites the body to overreact.<\/p>\n<p>The super overdrive of the body\u2019s immune response system then sets off the tsunami known as the cytokine storm. That tsunami sets off clotting. So basically, you\u2019ve got to look to block the clotting.<\/p>\n<p>From 1 May 2020 I started treating Covid as a hyper-inflammatory disease-causing clotting. It starts with a three-drug regimen, using anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anticlotting drugs.<\/p>\n<p>I use an antiviral drug called Ivermectin to prevent the replication of the virus; it\u2019s fantastic at denying a certain key element that the virus needs to replicate.<\/p>\n<p>Ivermectin became my drug of choice, based on the paper that the Royal Melbourne Hospital and Monash University released and that said that one dose reduces the viral load by 99.8%in 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>(The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 invitro \u2013 https:\/\/pubmed. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov\/32251768\/). Generically produced Ivermectin is very low cost. I give a four-dose regimen over two days on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n<p>After the dose of Ivermectin, my theory has been that there\u2019s no live virus in the person, and I allow my patients to come out and mix with the family 24 hours after the last dose.<\/p>\n<p>The second is an anti-inflammatory drug called Colchicine prescribed mainly to reduce the inflammation in the body \u2013 the infamous cytokine storm. I call Colchicine my fire retardant; it\u2019s fantastic at reducing the inflammation, so there\u2019s no overdrive, no super overdrive. Anybody who\u2019s taken Colchicine will realise that this drug really works well to calm the body down.<\/p>\n<p>Colchicine is easy to administer, generally well tolerated at a low dose, and inexpensive, so you calm the body down and stop that over inflammatory response, the additional extra super overdrive of the immune response system, such that you most likely won\u2019t set up the clotting.<\/p>\n<p>However, to prevent clotting, I still give an anti-clotting drug. I started off using aspirin in my first 200 cases. But, as we went into the second week, I saw that the platelet count bounced back to very high levels.<\/p>\n<p>Platelets are blood cells that bind together when they recognise damaged blood vessels. This clotting stops us from bleeding. However, excess clotting can be dangerous leading to pathologies such as heart attacks and strokes.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up picking the brains of a very well-known cardiologist Ragavendra Baliga (Professor of Internal Medicine\/Cardiology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centre) and shared with him the idea that I wanted to use Clopidogrel (in the US it\u2019s called Plavix) as my anti-clotting drug \u2013 he agreed that it was an excellent idea.<\/p>\n<p>And since case number 200 we started using this three-drug regimen. We have successfully treated over 10,000 Covid patients, 50,000 family members and provided prophylaxis to another 16,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>Most patients can be managed very well as long as you start as early as possible. Until now I\u2019ve had something like 66 admissions and 21deaths, and it\u2019s been a fantastic success at all stages, although of course anyone death is a tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s such a very simple and replicable process. I generally do not need to use steroids, though I do use them and various other drugs in serious cases.<\/p>\n<p>The precise regime depends on the individual and the stage of treatment. I also manage post-Covid treatment to ensure that nobody becomes a long hauler.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that my regime, which was developed during the first wave, works fantastically well with all the variants, including Delta. I see no reason why it should not work effectively with Omicron.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a patient is fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, or unvaccinated, once you have Covid you are a Covid patient, and I will treat you as such as early as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen so many types of variants which I recognise from the symptomatology, and my treatments have worked with all variants of the disease, facilitated thanks to technology, telemedicine, which I have recourse to in 90% of the cases treated.<\/p>\n<p>Patients get in touch remotely, obtain a diagnosis, and an appropriate treatment is advised within three or four minutes. I do have strict rules for the patient to follow during the course of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a 14-day disease and during this time I want people to only eat certain foods, in particular soft foods, which are well-cooked and soft dahl (lentils) and rice.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend a lot of soups with yellow pumpkin soup, yogurt, besides taking in a lot of fluids. The diet is plant-based as animal products are a challenge to the digestive system, although I do allow eggs.<\/p>\n<p>I also give high dose vitamin D as tablets or as injections. I may also give iron injections. My protocols include tracking blood oxygen saturation levels (using a pulse oximeter) and taking temperature and pulse rate three or four times a day.<\/p>\n<p>Mobilisation is especially important on the days eight, nine, and ten if blood oxygen levels are low. I make patients walk, sometimes during the whole night.<\/p>\n<p>In certain instances, I\u2019ve told people that if you want to live you are not going to sleep tonight. You need to move until your blood oxygen levels improve.<\/p>\n<p>And most patients have succeeded. If you can move correctly, it slows down the clotting process. It\u2019s not just the drugs, it\u2019s also the mobility of the patient that makes a difference.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a whole bunch of things that go into making sure you have success with patients. My appeal to everyone is to treat this as a clotting, not as an interstitial lung disease.<\/p>\n<p>Because at the end of the day you\u2019ve got to stop the clotting or the patient\u2019s going to die. * How is this getting implemented at the ground level? I\u2019ve been running a sustenance campaign to help three large companies continue to work.<\/p>\n<p>With that mandate certain plans were put into place from August \u2013 September of last year to build up people\u2019s immunity over time. I tell everybody to get their vitamin D up to above 60 nanograms per millilitre (ng\/mL) so that when you get Covid you won\u2019t even know you had Covid.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, if people do get sick, I treat them. We carry out either monthly or quarterly screening where we do a Covid antibody test, and those who actually get sick are treated with the therapy that I described earlier.<\/p>\n<p>That way, we get them back to work asap. One of our clients is a hotel business, and they haven\u2019t had a Covid case since July of last year till April of this year. The other two companies in the financial sector, have continued operating uninterrupted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
