Dr. Zev Zelenko, the family physician from Monsey, NY, who rose to fame for offering a cure for coronavirus, is currently in recovery as he battles a rare and complicated recurring cancer.
Zelenko, whose malaria drug regimen has been touted by President Donald Trump while criticized by others, underwent surgery on Thursday.
“The surgeon was very happy with the results, it went extremely well, thank G-d,” his family said in a statement on Friday.
The family told COLlive.com that even though Dr. Zelenko is heavily sedated and with a breathing tube, he responded to his wife’s presence with his eyes. They said they are awaiting the results of the tests conducted.
Dr. Zelenko is in ICU for the next 24 to 48 hours, and begins the long road to full recovery, they said.
A crowdfunding campaign was set up to support Dr. Zelenko’s medical bills and his family during this difficult time. So far $75,257 has been donated. Donations can be made at https://www.charidy.com/zelenko
“Dr. Zelenko faced a lot of opposition in his fight to save lives,” organizers of the fundraiser said. “But he never second-guessed his decision to move forward, forging on with much courage and bravery. After all, saving lives and helping people has always been his priority.
“Dr. Zelenko left his comfort zone to help you, to help us and to help the wider community. In fact, he wanted to help an entire world taken hostage by a mystery pandemic. There are many people who survived Covid-19 due to Dr. Zelenko’s protocol which became world-renowned, despite political opposition.”

Hi everyone this is Meir Greenberg. I’m 11 years old. Last week, when we heard about Dr. Zelenko’s heart surgery I made a website for people to say Tehillim for him And we just released it now!!! There is a post (on my website) called Tehillim for Zev. In it, I will post updates. Like for example right now, it’s at update #8, so you will see Kapital Ches. When you finish saying the Kapital, write in the comments “did it” or “finished” etc. After that, the next Kapital will show up in a new post!!
Please share!
