Dr. Zelenko Publishes “Final Book”

by Sharon Rondeau

(Nov. 27, 2022) — An edition of a newsletter distributed Sunday afternoon announced the publication of a book the late Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko wrote in the final months before his untimely death on June 30 at the age of 48.

“Zelenko: How to Decapitate the Serpent” is available for preorder now, a dedicated webpage states, with download of the manuscript available immediately.

November 27 was Zelenko’s birthday, the newsletter, generated by Zelenko’s supplement company, “Z-Stack Life,” states. “This year, Zev has a gift for all of YOU for his birthday. Read below to find out more about “Zelenko: How to Decapitate the Serpent.”

“In his final years, Dr. Zev Zelenko had a message,” the announcement continues. “He shared that message with anyone who would listen. He spoke of patriotism, faith, family, and medicine. Although we have sadly lost him, Zev has one last message to share with all of you. From his deathbed, he feverishly completed his final book. Zev was always a fighter, and fittingly, his book is called ‘Zelenko: How to Decapitate the Serpent.’ This was his final chance to speak to all of you who have answered his call in the fight for medical freedom.”

An immigrant from Ukraine as a young person, Zelenko was one of the earliest U.S. physicians to develop a protocol for treating COVID-19 on an ambulatory basis to include the repurposed drug hydroxychloroquine along with quercetin, EGCG, vitamins C and D, zinc and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) in various combinations. His products are available for adults and children, with 10% of the proceeds donated to the charity he founded shortly before his death, “Freedom Fighters Foundation.”

When then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo forbade the dispensing of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 other than in hospital settings or for its FDA-approved uses, Zelenko substituted quercetin as the necessary “zinc ionophore.”

On May 2, 2022, the writer who would become Zelenko’s co-author on his final work, Brent Hamacheck, wrote:

Vladimir Zelenko is perhaps the exact antithesis of an intimidating physical figure.  What his rather modest physical presence belies is a man of such great spiritual and intellectual stature that were he to be confronted by Goliath, it might take little more than the raise of an eyebrow to send the behemoth running.  No slingshot and stone needed, just the invincible combination of faith and reason.

When we did first meet in three dimensions (after many calls and video meetings) my Objectivist self immediately went to war with my Christian self in trying to deny what we both could plainly see; a special man with almost an aura about him of peace and of love; a truly transcendent presence.  After a full day spent in sharing conversation and breaking bread, I recall talking to friends and telling them that I wasn’t sure what had happened to me, but I was certain I was never going to be the same.  

I haven’t been…

Zelenko authored two previous books, “Essence to Essence,” written during the pandemic, and “Metamorphosis,” published in 2018.
