#18: Dr. Peter McCullough on Early Covid-19 treatment BS Free MD with Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh

This week is just the beginning of some AWESOME discussions around  Covid-19!  Get ready since we have an amazing guest and world renowned expert who is a leading expert on the subject of Covid-19 and  has the most citations in the National Library of Medicine.   Not only is he humble and gracious but very wise and  passionate about helping and treating our PATIENTS first!  Aside from being an expert, he TREATS Covid patients and  is also a Covid survivor.  Dr. McCullough is a practicing internist and cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M College of Medicine. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and clinical lipidology.  He also has a  Master of Public Health from University of Michigan School of Public Health. He cares for advanced patients with common medical problems including heart and kidney disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes. Dr. McCullough has broadly published on a range of topics in medicine with > 1000 publications and > 600 citations in the National Library of Medicine. His works have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, British Medical Journal and other top-tier journals worldwide.  He is the editor-in-chief of Cardiorenal Medicine, Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, and senior associate editor of the American Journal of Cardiology. On November 19, 2020, Dr. McCullough testified in the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs concerning early ambulatory treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19. He has appeared on news outlets and is passionate about spreading the word about treatment. Today we discuss evidence based treatments of Covid-19 , best practices to avoid hospitalizations and death plus  what resources we have.  He believes it is immoral, unethical and bordering on illegal to advise NO TREATMENT  of outpatients who have Covid-19. The focus has been on PPE, lockdown and isolation as well as treating only hospitalized patients. Forgotten are the patients caught in the middle. We can’t just be passive doing nothing to prevent hospitalizations! It is therapeutic nihilism! While the FDA is a regulatory body, NIH is a research organization and the CDC is a public health organization- none of these organizations give guidelines and put the onus on physicians to figure out how to treat their patients. Remember physicians, we work for the patient! Don’t  forget to go hang out with our friend, Dr. Errin Weisman over at Doctor Me First on your favorite podcast app. LINKS: Peter McCullough Interview: “Focus on Masks has Hurt America” https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/p/cardiologist-focus-on-masks-has-hurt-america/vi-BB1g9Rnd FLCC Alliance: Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/ Association of American Physicians and Surgeons https://aapsonline.org/ Doctor Me First: Errin Weisman, DO https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doctor-me-first-with-errin-weisman-do/id1445688396 Dr Shankara Chetty on Covid -19 treatments: Over 4,000 COVID-19 patients successfully treated so far – no hospitalization required, no deaths.
