Body Zinc levels are linked to the sense of smell.

There have been reports of Zinc being used in conjunction with other medications to address C19.
The Quinism Foundation Warns of Dangers from Use of Antimalarial Quinolines Against COVID‑19.
"Use of Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine, Mefloquine, Quinine, and Related Quinoline Drugs Risks Sudden and Lasting Neuropsychiatric Effects from Idiosyncratic Neurotoxicity."

The Anit-Malaria drugs They are pushing have a common ancestor to Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have MANY FDA warnings. The FDA says they should not be used unless all other options have been exhausted.
Those that have already been devastated by Fluoroquinolones are extremely upset to hear that a related quinolines drug is being proposed. While these two drugs are technically in a different class, they share some common ancestors. They both share many of the devastating side effects.
I have put all the FDA warnings for Fluoroquinolone antibiotics on my late wife's website. Levaquin was a significant contributor to Karen's suicide. :-(
If you look into their history you find that they are decedents of failed chemotherapy drugs.
No, they are not safe.
We posted at the same time, see my comment above yours about the documentary Pain Warriors.
Dr Mark Ibsen is one of the five stories. He lost everything for helping those with Chronic Pain. Five of his patients killed themselves when he was no longer able to prescribe. The medical board said he was over prescribing, that blood is on the boards hands. The arbitrator/judge in the case said that Mark did not do anything wrong, yet The System destroyed him.
Yes it is a rough field. I see it every single day in advocating for those that the Medical Establishment has forsaken.
There are bad doctors, there are bad people writing medical software as this thread explains. They need dealt with.
I've gathered all of the FDA warnings and some of the EU warnings (they say don't use them) at the link below.
The FDA itself says these should not be used until all other possibilities have been exhausted. Sadly the doctors are not getting the message and are giving them out like candy.
Pain Warriors documentary about Chronic Pain and medical establishment teaser is on my YouTube channel. Read the reviews of those that have seen the full movie previews.
The problem is things have gone to far the other way now. Those with Chronic Pain are now committing suicide (as did my wife) when they are let to suffer.
The CDC itself stated in April of 2019:
"CDC Advises Against Misapplication of the Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain Some policies, practices attributed to the Guideline are inconsistent with its recommendations"
Sadly the medical community is not getting that message due to this mater now becoming political.

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as Levaquin (no longer manufactured, only generics now [you can not sue the makers of generics in most states]), Cipro etc. should be removed from the market due to their devastating side effects.
My late wife's Journal was part of the 2015 FDA hearing about getting these restricted from doctors giving them out like candy. Alas all we got was yet more "Black Box" warnings that you and the doctors never see.
Karen ultimately killed herself from the Chronic Pain cause by the Levaquin and Cerebrospinal Leaks (CSF Leaks). Her saga is one of the five stories in the upcoming documentary Pain Warriors being released to distribution this spring.
I'm now up to 44 people that have told me that their own CSF Leak started after taking Levaquin, Cipro etc. Something that there is ZERO medical research on. The Leak doctors are aware of this as I spoke about it at their first ever CSF Leak conference.
Someone here will inevitably say "I took Cipro et.al just fine". Many people do take it may times until they have a reaction or they don't associate their new health problems with the delayed reaction months later.
Antibiotics in general are a good thing, however we must never assume they are safe in and of themselves without consequences.
Good. They almost killed my late wife and I. While we were on board I watched the Shuttle driver force a car up onto the side walk to avoid a collision. If anyone had been standing at that corner they would have been killed. That was only one incident in a half hour ride!
In LA I found it was cheaper to have a Limo on call than use a taxi and more reliable than the ride sharing services. The Limo driver made it seem more like a tour explaining the things we drove by, unlike they others that had no interest in anything other than our $.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been archiving the FDA.gov site at archive-it.org .
Leaving a lot of dead links on the FDA site. Sometimes they tell you to look in the archives for the old information, without giving you a link to it, and sometimes they don't, they just expect you to know.
Now why can't the FDA afford the space to keep their pages forever on their own site? Fill in your favorite conspiracy theory...
Some of the information that has been removed, such as the 2015 hearings on Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, are important health research as just one example.
In the case of Optical Phase Conjugation that is correct. Which is why I said "apparent" in my original post. Physics allow for -t in many places.
However in the case of psi it is about time, that is effect happens before the cause.
"... PAA [predictive anticipatory activity, an other term for Presentiment], the predictive physiological anticipation of a truly randomly selected and thus unpredictable future event, has been under investigation for more than three decades, and a recent conservative meta-analysis suggests that the phenomenon is real. ..."

I was there this summer. Well over a 100 years old and some of the original equipment is still running. Sad that our modern equipment has little hope of that.
The original subject here was a about reversal of time.
I mixed the two subjects of Parapsychology and Optical Phase Conjugation under that heading. They have nothing to do with each other (as far as we know at the moment).
It was your jstor link that sent me down the A-B path. I apologize if I miss understood your intention.
I expect you might find these obscure papers of interest:
* Yoseph Imry and Richard A. Webb, "Quantum Interference and the Aharonov-Bohm Effect," Scientific American, vol. 260, no. 4, Apr. 1989.
Abstract: Can electrons be influenced by a nearby magnet so well shielded that its force field cannot be detected? The counter intuitive answer is yes:an energy emanation from the magnet known as the potential does indeed affect the electrons' wave function. This quantum-mechanical effect is being brought to bear on the development of new microelectronic devices.
* Capt. Robert M. Collins (TQTR), "Soviet Research On The A-Vector Potential and Scalar Waves (U)," Unknown.
Abstract: Active in the areas of the Aharonov-Bohm effect as applied to the A-vector potential and scalar fields as applied to solving force related problems.
* Capt. Robert M. Collins (TQTR), "Soviet Research On Unified Field Theories, False Vacuum States, and Antigravity (U)," Unknown.
Abstract: Theoretical progress in dealing with unified field theories...new concepts in weapons, transportation, propulsion.

Add to those the list of patents by Raymond C. Gelinas assigned to Honeywell from the 1980's and what today is being called Extended Electrodynamics as well:

Can't really get more up to date than a paper published this month. Sad that people will still be quick to down vote things without knowing what is going on in the world today. :-(
This came up in a group discussion of parapsychologists that I hang out with form time to time. Some of the top people in the world. I expect you could find it covered in the Journal of Parapsychology as a place to start looking.
There are many people doing experiments with independent replication. Both experiments that succeed and fail. We learn from both. Sadly people would rather dismiss such things as impossible dogma rather than learn new things on the leading edge of science.
"That is, in let’s say a drug testing experiment, you give some people the drug and they recover. That doesn’t tell you much until you give some other people a placebo drug you know doesn’t work – but which they themselves believe in – and see how many of them recover."
There is actually a science of studying Placebos. It is not as simple as most think. For example the strong the drug in many trials, the stronger the Placebo effect is. Things like the total number of trials of the drug become relative. Spatial Separation does not necessary imply Independence.
You also need to have objective people, unlike Randi.
One lady did keep passing all of his tests, all day long, so they keep fiddling with the test to "improve it". Until the lady was completely exhausted and failed the test. Guess which test result they used?
After this no one took Randi seriously, so no one with skill bothered.
Before dismissing something, might want to check the physics:
[Concetto R. Giuliano, 1981]
Concetto R. Giuliano, "Applications of optical phase conjugation," Physics Today, vol. 34, no. 4, pp. 27-35, Apr. 1981.
Abstract: Light waves that are, in effect, time-reversed images of their original can serve to restore severely aberrated waves to their original state.
There are lot of examples, studies and experiment on retro causality in the field of Parapsychology. So this is not at all 'the first'.
"Time-reversed human experience: Experimental evidence and implications" by Dean Radin is one that happens to be laying on my desk right now.
A new book by by Theresa Cheung and Julia Mossbridge, "The Premonition Code" gets into some of the science. Ms. Mossbridge has published several papers and a few YouTube Videos about 'Time'.
The field of Parapsychology generally gets dismissed to easily. The top people know they will get criticized, so they tend to design their experiments and statistics to standards higher than most if not all fields of study. If Parapsychologist presented the data that was given as 'Proof' of the Higgs boson, as shown by a small statistical bump in the data, they would have gotten their ass handed to them had they presented the same data has proof of any of their experiments.
Optical Phase Conjugation is also interesting in that it involves apparent negative time. Let you do things like a see through frosted glass. True Hacker material...
The FDA is on a Kratom witch hunt now. Must remove anything that helps people.

There are no statistics that show properly prescribed and taken opioids have anything to do with the crisis. The crisis comes from illegal usage and tainted substances. Sadly this is not clear from the statistics without digging into them, and few do.
That prescription opioids are significantly reduced, yet the death rate continues to climb indicates the focus on the current solution is in the wrong place.
No one, including me, denies "pill selling" is a problem. However that has zero to do with the people with Chronic Pain that are doing everything within the law.
There are bad doctors, and other bad actors, they need dealt with of course. Not at the expense that need such medication.
Dr Myles Gart wrote a piece entitled “Pain is not the fifth vital sign” Medical Economics on May 20th, 2017.
http://medicaleconomics.modernmedicine.com/medical-economics...
This is my reply to Dr Gart's editorial, edited to fit the format here the best I can.
“… First and foremost, we must bury the claim of pain being the fifth vital sign and replace it with a 21st Century pain assessment tool that incorporates objective evidence and measures of pain. …”
Dr Gart, at this moment are you hungry? In your lifetime have you ever been hungry? Hunger is a type of pain. Did you treat that pain by consuming a substance?
Please correct me if I am wrong. To my knowledge there is no objective test, no simple Pain Meter, that will show me that you are hungry. Yes we could look at enzymes and such. Will that truly tell me just how hungry you are objectively?
If there is no objective test for a pain as simple as hunger, that each of us experience most every day, what hope does a person in Chronic Pain have?
In Ohio the Governor is now practicing medicine by decreeing that there can be no more than seven days of opiate pain medication. Perhaps he should discuss that with the person that was hit by a train and survived with most every bone broken.
My wife Karen died of suicide to stop the pain she experienced for over over 20 years, due to the failure of the Medical Establishment as a whole. THIS IS THE REALITY OF Chronic Pain.
"Karen's Journal of CSF Leak Headaches and Chronic Pain: How Intracranial Hypotension and Levaquin (Levofloxacin) Killed Me"
is now required reading at Duke School of Medicine to educate future Neurologists about the realities of Chronic Pain.
A local reporter wrote in a Cover Story:
"Karen's first-hand account of her illness gave an honest, heart-wrenching depiction of what it is like to live with debilitating pain day-to-day." – http://www.kpaddock.org
May I humbly suggest you read it.
See for FDA links on the antibiotic issue [at http://www.kpaddock.com/fq ].
In book form it has been edited by a medical doctor that has the same condition has Karen had. When bought through the Spinal CSF Leak Foundation 100% of the royalties go to them, to support them, just in case anyone thinks I'm posting this to promote the book for profit myself. The book can be read for free at http://mystory.kpaddock.com for free.
I do not know what motivated you to write your article. I do know from it that far more time needs to be spent with people in Chronic Pain, to understand the realities of their life.
When a person in Chronic Pain that has been taking opiate pain medication under a competent doctors supervision for ten years, is able to function, take care of their family, hold a job, is without warning told then can not have it any more, “tough luck”. What are they to do? They resort to street drugs and become the very victims this currently policy is trying to prevent.
People in Chronic Pain have typically already tried multiple rounds of physical therapy, bio-feedback, meditation, exercise and the list goes on, with no relief from the pain. What are they to do?
Not having Chronic Pain myself, I will never claim to understand it. I did watch my wife suffer with it for 20+ years. What exactly is the agenda here? None of us such as Advocates like myself nor the sufferers have figured this out yet. Can anyone please explain? To us it appears as an attack on the most vulnerable.
This is one of the many comments I received about your article: “…Chronic problems frustrate doctors and they blame the patient rather than look at themselves. …” or support research to find real solutions to Chronic Pain. No one chooses to live with Chronic Pain each and every moment of their lives.
My wife killed herself because of Chronic Pain. Her saga is required reading at Duke Medical School and has become part of the documentary Pain Warriors, to be released soon. The documentary covers the lives of those miss treated by the Medial Establishment, including doctors that treat Chronic Pain.
Those with Chronic Pain are being left to suffer because of abusers. In April of 2019 the CDC stated that their "guidelines" are being miss applied. Sadly the damage is already done.
https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2019/s0424-advises-misapp...
"CDC Advises Against Misapplication of the Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain Some policies, practices attributed to the Guideline are inconsistent with its recommendations.
In a new commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), authors of the 2016 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain (Guideline) advise against misapplication of the Guideline that can risk patient health and safety.
CDC commends efforts by healthcare providers and systems, quality improvement organizations, payers, and states to improve opioid prescribing and reduce opioid misuse and overdose. However, some policies and practices that cite the Guideline are inconsistent with, and go beyond, its recommendations. In the NEJM commentary, the authors outline examples of misapplication of the Guideline, and highlight advice from the Guideline that is sometimes overlooked but is critical for safe and effective implementation of the recommendations.
CDC is raising awareness about the following issues that could put patients at risk:..."
