Zinc + Zinc Ionophore = COVID-19 Cure? (Part 2)

Zinc + Zinc Ionophore = COVID-19 Cure? 24 April 2020

R. L. Ireland

Zinc supplements started disappearing last year from both online and in-store sources here in the US. Since I have been taking a daily zinc supplement almost my entire adult life, I discovered this when I went to get some zinc at a local Walmart. After several attempts and getting rather frustrated I discovered that zinc had simply was not being stocked nor sold anymore from Walmart, Target, and many local and national food stores. Aggravating as that was, I began back in November to seek out and have conversations with various store managers and pharmacists. The pharmacists at least could still get prescription zinc, but why the big stores couldn’t, was not known. At that time, there were still some boutique health food stores that had it, so I didn’t worry too much. I also found out, back in 2019, that the online resources of every brand I could google was either out-of-stock, on backorder, or simply, gone.

As of today, there still are almost no more zinc supplements to be had on the open market here in the USA, either in-store or online.

UPDATE: through some friends of mine, we found out that slowly, starting about a month ago, some of the larger online companies had a restocked supply of zinc supplements. Amazon has several although instead of just a six- or seven-dollar bottle, they are now near $30 and even higher. I guess even the largest company in the world, Amazon, understands how supply-and-demand can gouge prices higher. My wife works at a clinical research facility that has a pharmacy nearby so she scored us some pharmacy-grade zinc recently for an exorbitant price. I’ve recently found another online resource, GNC, that did have a few zinc offerings as well, but not until very recently. It seems that now more and more suppliers are indeed replenishing their stocks. That is the good news for us consumers. – reeko

Since late last year – long before I ever heard of the new coronavirus – I tried online sources for zinc such as: Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, Target, GNC, eVitamins, etc… There was always a lot of their usual zinc supplements shown for sale, but when I read the description or clicked on the CHECK OUT to purchase, I found they were either out-of-stock or expecting to get some in a month or so. But almost always they were simply GONE. All of them, and have been since 2019. In the intervening months I have exasperated myself trying to get zinc. It has been an exercise in futility. Here is just one example, a few weeks ago I spent the better part of an hour at this specific online vendor: evitamins.com. Normally, these guys are one of the best online resources for all nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and supplements that is available. Reasonable prices and good delivery as well. I do recommend them, as they have over eighty (80) different offerings of just zinc supplements! A virtual cornucopia of zinc! Yet I dutifully clicked through (again, just in case I missed some) one-by-one of their more than 80 offerings of zinc supplements. Out of over eighty zinc offerings I found exactly THREE that were not out-of-stock! Those three were either low-dose lozenges or had the Recommended Daily Allowance (USRDA) of 10mg or less. The higher potency zinc supplements were all gone. 80 offerings – gone. UPDATE: there are some recently restocked zinc supplements on the eVitamin website – not much, but some.

For those not familiar with in-store retail, what I am talking about in the store marketing such as Walmart or Target is called “product placement” and/or “shelf space” and the zinc supplements in these stores were not merely out-of-stock, their placements were pulled from the shelves and that meant Walmart and Target and CVS were no longer going to order or stock these items. Remember, this was in 2019 before the Christmas holiday season. I was more than peeved at that but like everybody else I had no real reason to suspect anything out of the ordinary since I hadn’t heard of the new coronavirus and its connection to Wuhan, China either.

China has been buying up all zinc and other supplements. Not kidding. I thought that was tin-foil hat stuff, but no, the Chinese Communist Party really did tell all overseas Chinese (those Chinese living outside of China – nearly 40 million) to buy medical gear and zinc supplements and send it to China. Some of these stories seem too far-fetched to believe prior to the pandemic, yet here we are. Even Peter Navarro, the Whitehouse’s Trade Policy Director recently told Fox News that the Chinese used “Four kills” and one of them was ordering overseas Chinese to buy up and send home all the medical supplies they could. That included zinc supplements:

Until just a few days ago for example, the GNC online nutrition website simply stopped sending any orders to China at all, and said so in a notice when ordering. Now, they have a very strict limit of under $300 per order if that order is to China! Apparently, the Chinese were vacuuming up all of their supplements not just zinc! While over at eVitamins, their website has an entire page warning anybody who sends bulk orders to China to try to at least pretend to obey the laws pertaining to import/export. Even more troubling than WalmartChina investing half a billion in Wuhan itself, is the emphasis that was placed by the gangsters running the CCP mafia having overseas Chinese buying up thermometers, baby formula, vitamin supplements, etc. from all over the world. An example from the eVitamin website itself:

Yes indeed, China has been busy buying up all the zinc supplements it can find. Either they don’t have any… or they are trying to deny the rest of the world to have any. Either way, that can’t be good…

A few weeks ago, Tucker Carlson on Fox News told us that Walmart just announced a half billion dollars that it was going to invest in Wuhan China for its retail operations there. The very next night, Tucker Carlson asked a very important question: in addition to why China allowed 5 million people to leave Wuhan to travel – unrestricted – to not only other places within China, but to Iran, Italy, Europe, the US, and the entire world. Yet… China had no major outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in any other major population centers. Tucker asked, why not?

To put a point on that question Tucker asked, first let’s use a legal term and stipulate that all of the following are facts in evidence:

1) Zinc is a natural cure for COVID-19 because it stops the coronavirus from replicating, and;

2) Zinc supplements began to disappear from the US back in 2019, not just from Walmart and other retail chains, but from online retailers also, and;

3) Walmart (and others) are planning major investments in Wuhan, China, and;

4) No other major population center in China had an outbreak (we are told) of COVID-19, because;

5) Please refer to number 1 above.

China knows that zinc cures the coronavirus. Apparently, we don’t.

From a recent excellent article debunking the VA’s so-called “study” at its hospitals regarding hydroxychloroquine:

“There was no mention of zinc, which many believe is necessary to use with hydroxy. Hydroxy facilitates zinc entering into cells, stopping viral replication. Without zinc in this cohort of patients, it makes sense that the two hydroxy groups didn’t fare as well, missing an essential component of the treatment.”

Zinc is the antidote for this coronavirus poison, and China knows that. It would be nice if somebody would stop thinking that only a vaccine is the cure. We already have a cure. Zinc.
