sorry david -not sure what 3 stars proven means - As RhG was so fond of saying nothing is certain. None of the papers I've reviewed represent strong evidence of a clinical benefit. Raoult's study of 1061 patients, which you seem to suggest elsewhere is unanswerable evidence of benefit, only shows the mortality in that group, of mostly day case patients and therefore those with mild illness, with an average age of 43 ie young, healthy and with low mortality risk was about 0.75%. No evidence that that is different from a similar population of untreated patients is provided. There is no evidence of any treatment affect whatsoever. The paper is an observation about treated patients of whom 8 died. Nothing more. I'm not part of any conspiracy. It's my job to treat patients and do what I think is best. I've read the papers provided and come to the same conclusions as many other people. Given that you know it is a fraud, none of this will change your mind but I suggest you take your warnings elsewhere.
