Vladimir Zelenko Protocol: Prophylactic and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 (updated May 2021)

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
A retrospective study analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication 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.

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 Eastern Virginia Medical School maintains an interesting 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 Risk Patients: 

Do nothing 

Completely optional

Elemental Zinc 25mg 1 time a day (PubMed) (Amazon)
Vitamin D3 5000 iu 1 time a day (vdnmeta.com) (Amazon)
Vitamin C 250 - 500 mg 1 time a day (PubMed) (Amazon)
Quercetin 250 mg 1 time a day until a safe and efficacious vaccine becomes available (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2014) (Amazon)

If Quercetin is unavailable, then use Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) 200mg 1 time a day (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2014) 


Protocol for Moderate / High Risk Patients:

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 200mg once a day for 5 days, then HCQ 200-400mg one time a week (ScienceDirect)
Vitamin D3 5000 IU/day or 50000 IU once a week (Amazon)
Vitamin C 1000mg once a day (Amazon)
Zinc 25-50mg/day (Amazon)

OR

Ivermectin 0.2 mg/kg — one dose on day 1 and day 3, then take one dose weekly (ivmmeta.com).
Vitamin D3 5000 IU/day or 50000 IU once a week
Vitamin C 1000mg once a day 
Quercetin 500mg/day 
Zinc 25-50mg/day

Editor's 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. 

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

Fundamental Principles (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)


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).

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 on Zinc supplements: How much zinc you should take per day depends on the type and forms of zinc, as each supplement contains a different amount of 'elemental zinc'. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form. 

For example, approximately 23% of zinc sulfate consists of elemental zinc; thus, 220 mg of zinc sulfate contains 50 mg of elemental zinc (Ref). Zinc picolinate (20% of elemental zinc), zinc ascorbate (15%), zinc chloride (48%), zinc carbonate (52%), zinc citrate (31%), zinc bisglycinate (25%) (Ref) and zinc gluconate (14%) and zinc oxide (80%) (Ref).

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.

10 Best Natural Ozempic Alternatives 2024

By Dr Frank Yap, MD -
Image
If there's anything the Ozempic craze has taught us, it's that people are hungry for weight loss solutions. But as the world leans into wellness, many are now looking beyond pharmaceuticals, turning their gaze to nature's arsenal for blood sugar balance and metabolic health. The 2023 report from the World Obesity Federation estimates that the economic impact of overweight and obesity will surpass $4.3 trillion annually by 2035. In the U.S., the CDC  reports the prevalence of obesity in adults was 41.9% measured from 2017 to March 2020. This represented an increase from 30.5% from 1999 to 2000. The estimated annual medical costs were roughly $173 billion in 2019 dollars. Prescriptions for semaglutide have doubled since mid-2021, rising to more than 1.2 million. In April 2023, a spokesperson for Novo Nordisk, maker of semaglutide, said the drugs are now available in pharmacies nationwide. Semaglutide is sold under the name Ozempic as a diabetes dr

Can Diet and Lifestyle influence your Risk of getting Cancer? Let the Science Speak (2024)

Most of us know Steve Jobs, Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Robin Gibb (Bee Gees), Donna Summer, Farrah Fawcett, Eartha Kitt, Peter Jennings, Paul Newman, Patrick Swayze, Sydney Pollack, Michael Crichton, Bob Denver, Ted Kennedy, Jerry Orbach, Anne Bancroft, William Rehnquist, and Tony Snow, just to name a few. What do they have in common? They all died from 'cancer'. Prevention holds greater value than both cure and early detection. Nonetheless, the incentive for profit often leans away from investing in preventive measures. This tendency is reflected in the limited coverage of preventative strategies within mainstream media channels. Can foods and diet influence your risk of getting cancer? What types of foods reduce your risk and types that might increase your risk? What about vitamin and mineral supplements? Can supplements reduce your cancer risk or do they actually increase your cancer risk? Find out the answers below. Related: Top 10 Cancer Fighting Supplements This ar
