Totally out of my depth here. I've been following Dr. Chris Martenson's daily covid-19 updates since late January. He is adamant this treatment is only effective in combination with zinc supplements.

I’d look at clinical trials for zinc in other drug combinations and also alone. They’re not promising unless your population has a zinc deficiency.

So why doesn't this guy setup clinical trials instead of providing non-confirmed medical advice on the daily? Probably cause he is lazy and more interested in selling and promoting himself than he is actually solving problems. This guy knows the scientific method, I assume. he knows that something needs to be observable and replicated. Instead, he is asking us to trust his brilliance on something where the side effect might be death and blindness??

This one? https://www.peakprosperity.com/about/ https://www.peakprosperity.com/about/ He doesn't seem to have many biomedical or pharmaceutical qualifications for pronouncing on what treatments may or may not work? Edit: Apparently he has a PhD in neurotoxicty (specifically "Acrylamide neurotoxicity: effect on neuronal growth cones and axonal fast transport") which does bolster his credentials.

Who is Dr. Chris Martenson and which hospital does he work at? He seems to be suffering a name collision with some economics PhD guy who appears on Fox.

    Not quite as savage as you think. His PhD is in Neurotoxicology. Of all the things Martenson has been wrong about over the years, this particular event is a bit more in his wheelhouse than the economics or energy topics he typically covers.

Is this the same Chris Martenson that did the Crash Course videos a number of years ago? That really puts this advice in context for me.
