IMPERIAL VALLEY – After more than one year of treating COVID-19 on the ImperialValley frontlines, which included the months the County was the virus epicenterof California, two doctors — Dr. Brian Tyson and Dr. George Fareed— have addedto their effective treatment. The treatment changes are based on latest resultsby other frontline doctors and what they have observed personally.
Dr.George Fareed, Imperial Valley frontline doctor fighting against the COVID-19pandemic locally, has been fielding phone calls from across the nation helpingthose afflicted but unable to get early treatment from their medicalestablishments.

“I’m really busy, but I’m willing to help anyone,”Fareed said.
The doctor reached out to The Desert Review suggestingpublication of the Protocol he and Dr. Brian Tyson have refined for their localpatients that has been so successful. Fareed also included in his material whatDr. Zelenko, a pioneer in repurposing medicines for the virus has developed as aprophylaxis, a preventative subscription.
Also included in thematerial submitted, is a follow up to Dr. Fareed’s U.S. Senate hearing, “EarlyOutpatient Treatment: An Essential Part of a COVID-19 Solution” held November19, 2020 in the Capitol.
Senator Josh Hawley submitted questions toDr. Fareed to clarify his testimony for the record. Here is the correspondencebetween the Senator and Fareed on December 10, 2020:
Sen. Hawley: Inyour testimony, you say that timing is everything when it comes to treatment andthat the best time for outpatient treatment to prevent hospitalization comeswhen “the virus is in a period of maximum replication in the upper respiratorytract.” Can you explain what this would mean for a patient? Would this be fivedays after exposure, or ten days? Or is it based on symptoms?
Dr.Fareed: The earlier the treatment can be started after the start of theinfection, the better and more rapid the recovery (as well as the reduction inthe risk of spread/contagious period). This would mean that the patient shouldoptimally start the treatment in the first 4 days of the infection and withinfive days of exposure. It usually is based on symptoms which start within 1-4days of viral entry into the upper respiratory system. Even starting themulti-faceted treatment later (7-10 days after infection) is also veryworthwhile if severe pneumonia necessitating hospitalization has not yet setin.
Sen. Hawley: In your experience, are patients typically coming into get treated at this point in their illness? And if not, what do you think weneed to do to encourage high-risk individuals to seek outpatient treatment andcare?
Dr. Fareed: More patients are coming in to get treated orcontacting me from afar for treatment when they can’t receive the treatment intheir local communities. Sadly, many infected people and primary care doctorsand doctors in ERs follow the NIH and Dr. Fauci stipulations with no effectivetreatments offered. We need to have the NIH/FDA/CDC formally acknowledge theimportance of early treatment with moderately acting, safe anti-virals soreadily available. When (if ever) that happens, everything would improvedramatically. Thank you, Senator Hawley, for all your efforts and for allowingme to respond to these excellent questions.
The following is theprotocol Drs. Fareed and Tyson have jointly developed as most effective fortheir COVID-19 patients:

Dr. Zelenko’s COVID-19 Protocol
Dr. Fareed also included Dr. Zelenko’s 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 60, or if they are younger than 60 but they have co-morbidities, that is, they have other health conditions that put them at risk. These patients have between a 5 to 10 percent 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.
Prevention 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.
- Zinc(elemental)25mg 1 time a day (PubMed)
- Vitamin D35000 iu 1 time a day (vdnmeta.com)
- Vitamin C1000 mg 1 time a day (PubMed)
- Quercetin500mg 1 time a day
If Quercetin is unavailable, then use Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 400mg 1 time a day
Prevention 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
- Zinc 25 mg/day| How much zinc to take with hydroxychloroquine?
If HCQ is unavailable, then use the Protocol for Low and Moderate Risk Patients.
Early Treatment Protocol
Dr Zelenko also hasan early treatment protocol that includes over-the-counter supplements such as vitamins C and D3, elemental zinc and quercetin for low-risk patients.
Patients who have a moderate or high risk of severe disease are treated with vitamin C and D3, elemental zinc, azithromycin, doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
Z-Stack Supplement: In an effort to make it easier for patients, Dr Zelenko has developed an oral supplement that contains all four: vitamin C, quercetin, vitamin D3 and zinc. It’s calledZ-Stack Vitamins.

Z-Dtox Supplement
Your immune system can be weakened by over 300 different primary immunodeficiency disorders, poor diet, lack of sleep, and adverse reactions to various vaccines.
That’s where Z-DTOX comes in! Z-Dtox is Dr. Zelenko’s proprietary combination of ECGC, NAC, Zinc, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
Ingredients:
- Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is an extract of green tea and is a powerful zinc Ionophore (zinc delivery system).
- N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a supplement form of cysteine. It may prevent blood clots and is an antioxidant.
- Zinc is critical for immune cell development. Dozens of different enzymes in the body rely on zinc.
- Vitamin C is an essential nutrient involved in the repair of tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters.
- Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and many other biological effects.
Z-Dtox is more powerful thanZ-Stack. It has EGCG instead of Quercetin, NAC, and higher dose Zinc. It is more appropriate for higher risk patients. For example, those people that have a dysfunctional immune system, risk of blood clots, older people and those with chronic medical conditions.
Z-Dtox also has 60 servings per container instead of 30 servings per container for Z-Stack.
