Carson, a former medical doctor, tested positive earlier this month. His office said he was in good spirits at the time. After taking Oleander 4X, a product not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as an initial treatment upon diagnosis, Carson said he saw a “dramatic improvement.” Oleander 4x, a medicine made from derivatives of the oleander plant, was being promoted by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a potential candidate for treating COVID-19.
But after a period of time, his condition took a turn for the worse.
“However, I have several co-morbidities and after a brief period when I only experienced minor discomfort, the symptoms accelerated and I became desperately ill,” Carson said in his Facebook post. “President Trump was following my condition and cleared me for the monoclonal antibody therapy that he had previously received, which I am convinced saved my life.”
“President Trump, the fabulous White House medical team, and the phenomenal doctors at Walter Reed have been paying very close attention to my health and I do believe I am out of the woods at this point,” Carson said in his post." EpochTimes
