President Donald Trump’s Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson Friday posted on his social media account saying he feels “out of the woods” now after having been “extremely sick” from COVID-19. The 69-year-old has been receiving treatments from the White House medical team at Walter Reed Hospital.
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.
