Zelenko Protocols: COVID-19 Prophylaxis and Treatment (2022)

What is the Zelenko protocol? The Zelenko COVID-19 Protocol was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. A retrospective study analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence.

Update: Recently, Ivermectin has come to the fore as a more effective (also long standing, cheap, generic drug), in all three stages of COVID-19. Dr Zelenko has also updated his protocols to incorporate ivermectin as an option for both the prophylactic and treatment protocols as shown below.

Introduction

This webpage compiles content related to the early outpatient treatment protocol that has been proposed by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Dr. Zelenko originally risk-stratified patients and treated high-risk patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin. 

He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin protocol for low-risk patients as well as guidelines for prophylaxis. Dr. Zelenko shared the details of his protocol on March and April 2020 in open letters to the medical community and also shared updated treatment and prophylaxis protocols on August 2020. 

He has also published his first research paper on his treatment protocol. See the press release. Dr. Zelenko's paper establishes, with statistical significance, that his early outpatient protocol reduces hospitalizations by 84%. Dr. Zelenko's statement to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Secutity indicates no deaths from amongst the group of patients that initiated treatment during the first 4 days, and took medications for at least 5 days. 

Based on rapidly emerging clinical trials evidence of ivermectin, an anti-parasitic medicine, has highly potent real-world, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties against COVID-19 virus, he has also included Ivermectin as part of his protocol.

Dr. Zelenko is now investigating the use of nebulized hydroxychloroquine, which could very well prove to be the final nail in the coffin for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. If you are interested in the inside story of how Dr. Zelenko discovered the Zelenko protocol, it is best told in his interview with Dr. Breggin [backup]. Dr. Zelenko has been banned from twitter, but you can keep up with him on Telegram.

The FLCCC (Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance) maintains a useful website with current information for medical practitioners. They recommend the I-MASK+ and MATH+ treatment protocols for hospitalized patients. They are currently strongly advocating in favor of ivermectin instead of hydroxychloroquine, and they also recommend using quercetin combined with vitamin C as a zinc ionophore.

Zelenko Covid-19 Prophylaxis Protocol

Prophylaxis is an action taken to prevent or protect against a specified disease. Greek in origin, from the word "phylax", meaning "to guard" and "watching." 
  
Low Risk Patients - Young healthy people do not need prophylaxis against COVID-19. In young and healthy people, this infection causes mild cold-like symptoms. It is advantageous for these patients to be exposed to Covid-19, build up their antibodies and have their immune system clear the virus. This will facilitate the development of herd immunity and help prevent future Covid-19 pandemics. However, if these patients desire prophylaxis against Covid-19, then they should take the protocol noted below.

Moderate Risk Patients - Patients from this category are healthy but have high potential viral-load exposure. This group includes medical personnel, caregivers of high-risk patients, people who use public transportation, first responders and other essential personnel who are crucial to the continued functioning of society. These patients should be encouraged to take prophylaxis against Covid-19 in accordance with the protocol noted below.

High Risk Patients - Patients are considered high risk if they are over the age of 45, or if they are younger than 45 but they have comorbidities, that is, they have other health conditions that put them at risk. These patients have between a 5 to 10% mortality rate if they are infected with Covid-19. These patients should be strongly encouraged to take prophylaxis against Covid-19 in accordance with the protocol noted below.

Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients

The Zelenko protocol for low to moderate risk patients contains four nutrients that can be easily purchased over-the-counter or online i.e. quercetin, zinc, vitamin C and D3.
If Quercetin is unavailable, then use Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day

Protocol for High Risk Patients:
  • Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg once a day for 5 days, then HCQ 200 mg one time a week (ScienceDirect) (Find a Doctor)
  • Vitamin D3 5000 IU/day for 5 days (Amazon)
  • Zinc 25 mg/day (Amazon) | How much zinc to take with hydroxychloroquine?
Z-Stack Supplement: In an effort to make it easier for patients, Dr Zelenko has developed an oral supplement that contains all four essential nutrients of the protocol: vitamin C, quercetin, vitamin D3 and zinc. It’s called Z-Stack Vitamins. 

Editor's Notes: 
  • Zinc is critical. It helps block the virus from multiplying. Hydroxychloroquine is the carrier taking zinc INTO the cells to do its job.
  • Vitamin D3: Preferable in oil capsules for better absorption.
  • Inorganic zinc such as zinc sulfate, is not as effective or useable by your body as chelated zinc sources. Zinc lozenges are preferred so that the tissues of the nose and throat are rich in zinc as soon as they encounter the virus

Zelenko Protocol - Treatment Plan for Patients with Covid-19 symptoms

Fundamental Principles (Dr Zelenko Protocol When to Start)

Dr Zelenko protocol when to start? Treat patients based on clinical suspicion as soon as possible, preferably within the first 5 days of symptoms. Perform PCR testing, but do not withhold treatment pending results.

Patient Categories

Low risk patient - Younger than 45, no co-morbidities, and clinically stable
High risk patient - Older than 45, younger than 45 with co-morbidities, or clinically unstable

Treatment Options

Low risk patients - over the counter options:


1. Elemental Zinc 50mg 1 time a day for 7 days (PubMed) (Amazon)

2.1. Quercetin 500mg 2 times a day for 7 days (PubMed) (Amazon) OR

2.2. Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day for 7 days (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2014)

3. Vitamin C 1000mg 1 time a day for 7 days (Amazon)
4. Vitamin D3 5000iu 1 time a day for 7 days (Amazon)


Editor's Note on Vitamin D3: Preferable in oil capsules for better absorption.


Moderate / High risk patients

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 2 times a day for 5-7 days (ScienceDirect)


and/or

Ivermectin 0.4-0.5mg/kg/day for 5-7 days (ivmmeta.com). (Find a Doctor)

Either or both HCQ and IVM can be used, and if one only, the second agent may be added after about 2 days of treatment if obvious recovery has not yet been observed etc.

If HCQ is not available, Quercetin 500mg 3 times a day for 7 days OR EGCG 400mg 2 times a day for 7 days


In combination with the above (AND):

1. Elemental Zinc 50 - 100 mg 1 time a day for 7 days (Amazon)

2. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg 2 times a day for 7 days
3. Azithromycin 500mg 1 time a day for 5 days OR Doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day for 7 days

4. Vitamin C 1000 mg 1 time a day for 7 days (Amazon)

5. Vitamin D3 10,000 IU 1 time a day for 7 days (Amazon)


Both protocols can be viewed and downloaded from his website.

Note:
  • If you simply cannot get hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, quercetin is a viable stand-in. Quercetin works best when taken with vitamin C and Bromelain, as vitamin C helps activate it and bromelain helps with the absorption. 
Other treatment options 
  • Dexamethasone 6-12mg 1 time a day for 7 days OR Prednisone 20mg twice a day for 7 days, taper as needed (not suitable during viral phase)
  • Budesonide 1mg/2cc solution via nebulizer twice a day for 7 days (not suitable during viral phase)
  • Blood thinners (i.e. Lovenox, Eliquis, Xarelto, Pradaxa, Aspirin) (Amazon)
  • Colchicine 0.6mg 2-3 times a day for 5-7 days (MedRxiv 2021)
  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • Home IV fluids and oxygen
  • Curcumin: 500 mg twice a day (Ref) (Amazon)
  • Fluvoxamine: 50 mg twice daily for 10–14 days. Add to ivermectin if: 1) minimal response after 2 days of ivermectin; 2) in regions with more aggressive variants; 3) treatment started on or after day 5 of symptoms or in pulmonary phase; or 4) numerous co-morbidities/risk factors. Avoid if patient is already on an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor).
  • If you can’t get fluvoxamine (Luvox), using 30mg once a day of fluoxetine (Prozac) is equally effective (equivalent to 50mg twice a day of fluvoxamine).
  • Pulse Oximeter: Monitoring your oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter and to go to the hospital if you get below 94%. (Amazon)
  • Mouthwash: 3 x daily – gargle (do not swallow) antiseptic mouthwash with cetylpyridinium chloride (e.g. Crest, Scope mouthwash™), ListerineTM with essential oils, or povidone/iodine 1 % solution as alternative (Betadine® Antiseptic Sore Throat Gargle™). (Ref)
  • Nasal Spray: Xlear Nasal Spray with Xylitol (Ref) (Amazon)
  • Aspirin: 325 mg/day unless contraindicated. (Amazon) (not suitable during viral phase)
  • Bromhexine 8 mg three times a day (Ref) (Lazada Malaysia*)

About Dr Vladimir Zelenko

He graduated with a B.A. degree with high honors in Chemistry from Hofstra University. After receiving an academic scholarship to attend S.U.N.Y. at Buffalo School of Medicine, he earned his M.D. degree in May 2000. Dr. Zelenko completed his family medicine residency at South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside, N.Y. in May 2004. Since then, Dr. Zelenko has practiced family medicine in New York’s Hudson Valley. He has been described by his patients as like a family member to thousands of families, and is a medical adviser to the volunteer ambulance corps in Kiryas Joel, New York.

When asked about studies that seemed to discredit the efficacy of HCQ in treating the Chinese coronavirus, Zelenko explained “You don’t fire a gun without a bullet in it and then say the gun doesn’t work when you don’t kill the target. The studies that were done on HCQ did not include the use of Zinc.  HCQ is what opens the cell and enables Zinc to attack the virus. One is not effective without the other, or without a suitable substitute for HCQ. The studies were designed to fail.”

Dr. Zelenko says that both prophylaxis measures and actual case treatments need to be customized to the individual. As a general rule, he says, those people who are in the higher risk groups, both by age and by other pre-existing conditions, require more aggressive actions on both the preventative and diagnostic side.

“This virus remains relatively stable inside the host for about the first five days,” Zelenko says. “After that it starts to multiply rapidly. It also starts to migrate from sinus to lungs and cardio areas where involvement becomes more severe and treatment becomes more difficult. The key is early intervention.”  Zelenko again mentioned his 84% success rate in high-risk patients.

IMPERIAL VALLEY – After more than one year of treating COVID-19 on the Imperial Valley frontlines, which included the months the County was the virus epicenter of California, two doctors — Dr. Brian Tyson and Dr. George Fareed— have added to their effective treatment. The treatment changes are based on latest results by other frontline doctors and what they have observed personally. Dr. George Fareed, Imperial Valley frontline doctor fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic locally, has been fielding phone calls from across the nation helping those afflicted but unable to get early treatment from their medical establishments. “I’m really busy, but I’m willing to help anyone,” Fareed said. The doctor reached out to The Desert Review suggesting publication of the Protocol he and Dr. Brian Tyson have refined for their local patients that has been so successful. Fareed also included in his material what Dr. Zelenko, a pioneer in repurposing medicines for the virus has developed as a prophyla

The World Health Organization on November 26, 2021 classified the B.1.1.529 variant, or Omicron, as a SARS-CoV-2 "variant of concern," saying it may spread more quickly than other forms of coronavirus. The Delta variant remains dominant worldwide, accounting for 99.9% of U.S. cases, and it is not yet clear whether Omicron will be able to displace Delta, said Dr. Graham Snyder, medical director, infection prevention and hospital epidemiology at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. But the new variant has over 30 mutations in the part of the virus that current vaccines target.

If you are confused about the recommendations made by different professional groups for the COVID-19 pandemic, you've come to the right place. Before you continue to read this rather long article, let's start with the end in mind and begin with the conclusion that you may have been told. There is no early treatment for COVID-19?

Zinc is a powerful immune nutrient known for its benefits for providing immune health support and inflammation reduction as well as for improving cold and respiratory symptoms, wound healing, acne reduction, and lowering the risk of age-related diseases. Research on atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus suggests that zinc deficiency may contribute to low-grade systemic inflammation. Even more popular at the moment is the role of  zinc and the potential benefits against COVID-19 . This is probably one of the reasons that's driving the demand on zinc related products. In a  ConsumerLab survey  of 9,647 people who use dietary supplements shows that the supplements which experienced the greatest growth in popularity in 2020 were those being promoted to prevent or treat infection with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Zinc supplements achieved the highest growth with 13.5% points. Does zinc help treat COVID 19? How does zinc boost imm
