Limburg GP claims: “I cured corona patients” Inland

Elens does not want to respond anymore because he is flooded with publicity after his claim. But he tells his story extensively on the local TV channel Peel en Maas.

“I saw a number of doctors from other countries who applied the therapy via social media. It concerns a combination of hydrochloroquine, zinc and azithromycin. That is a very old malaria medicine. That appears to be effective. I know, it was only eight patients, but they were all better soon. It is a safe and good treatment for people who are unsure whether to send them to the hospital, but who have all the corona complaints. ”

‘Not afraid’

Elens, a general practitioner in the severely affected area Peel en Maas, calls on his colleagues across the Netherlands to do the same as him. “I am not afraid to give it. It is located at every pharmacy in the Netherlands. I would like to tell my colleagues: start with this, the country needs it. ”

Virologist Ab Osterhaus is not in advance dismissive of the GP’s claim. “But you will have to do a double-blind study to really prove anything. I often hear of such claims and you can not completely blind to the experiences of a doctor. We know the disadvantages, the side effects of chloroquine. But still, it is interesting. May be worth investigating. ”
