Ubiq:
I am addressing it to you because you asked what my point is, about why people are so against HOQ. So if more people would be more informed they would not be so against it.
The treatment should be early according to one Dr and only for seriously progressed sick patients according to another DR,(the only disadvantage could be as has been pointed out that the supply of HOQ to people with other chronic ailments who regularly use it might run out).
The zinc is apparently essential, and you have also more or less side stepped that issue.
The dose of HOQ should not be high as the Brazilian study shows, and patients should be carefully watched for heart problems, as well as screened beforehand.
No one is making a song and dance about the cardiotoxicity of the different antibiotics used.
