Retrospective 479 high risk outpatients in the USA treated with a protocol including intravenous vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, bromelain, lactoferrin, HCQ, ivermectin, ozonated saline, azithromycin, ceftriaxone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, budesonide, and aspirin (protocol varied over time and based on patient characteristics). Authors conclude that the protocol was highly effective. Early treatment was most effective, however authors note that the protocol retained efficacy even with patients presenting late.
