My Covid Regimen

Status
Not open for further replies.
I had seasonal allergy type symptoms tested positive twice, one short one long test, never would have gone to doctor if wife had not gone for what she thought was a cold and tested positive. Not making lite of the situation, but symptoms are so widely varied I believe thousands of people have had it and don't know they had it.

My wife is a two time breast cancer survivor and in her case she had minor cold like symptoms, but I could see she had a almost irrational fear of getting bad and ending up in the hospital on a vent, this was far worse on her than the actual symptoms.

I personally know several people that have had this and all are still on this planet, I have also personally known more people that have died from influenza than Covid. Wash your hands and don't touch your face, be smart especially if you are at risk, but don't be fearful, we can't stop living because we are afraid of dying.

I did a lot of reading and watched interviews of the NY doctor who combined a couple of therapies to deal with his COVID patients. The result was the combination of hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and zpack. What most do not realize is how the first two work together.

There was a study done in South Korea that showed definitively that on a similar virus, that has the same method of replication, that if one raised the level of zinc in cells that it inhibited the replication of the virus, in proportion to the concentration.

The problem was that because zinc is a +2 ion, it needed something to act as a port to get it through the cell's wall. That is what the hydroxychloroquine did, the word for things that do that is ionophor.

For most of us, the problem is that we cannot get the hydroxy to take with zinc for prevention. When I discovered that my Kaiser doctor could not prescribe it for that purpose, I went looking for something over the counter that could do the same thing, act as an ionophor. Luckily, I found some original research that told me that quercetin is an an ionophor for zinc, and we had some in the house because it is very good for treating my wife's hay fever.....so all that we needed to do was pick up some zinc.

Since then, several doctors have done you tube videos about quercetin and zinc, along with vitamin D as a way to decrease the chance of becoming infected with COVID-19., or at least making it less severe if it is contracted. If you look around on Youtube you will find a fair amount of discussions by doctors on the subject. Here are the results of a search on Youtube on the subject.

I haven't checked concentration levels, but I wonder if Buckwheat tea has enough quercetin in it to work or if the supplement should be taken specifically. Quercetin is common in many foods, including red wine.
 
I just ordered another batch of the Quercetin +Zink to replenish my supply. I'm doing a total of 1600 mg of Quercetin, and 80 mg of zinc a day.

My job is, I guess essential, and I'm exposed to -- everybody, everywhere. Couple of co workers have tested positive, and now I've heard that a couple of guys in my Bible study have it.

I've never been tested, and may have already had it - dunno. jd

Quercetin is poorly absorbed, which is why you see it with bromelain, which is added to improve that. I doubt that you could get to the levels needed for this from diet, and I do not think that anyone will consistently eat or drink something every day.

From my reading, I suggest you think about adding a a tiny amount of copper, when taking that much zinc long term. Check it out.

FWIW, among the 500 members+children at church. . . over 80% have had it, and well over half of those were either asymptomatic (wouldn't have known without a positive test in their household) or so mild they'd have thought nothing of it. I think there were 2 hospitalizations among those 500 people.

We had it; my kids had headcold symptoms for 3 days, my wife and I had the same and ~1deg of fever for ~2 weeks. The most remarkable thing was how mild and long-lasting it was. . . my worst day of symptoms I changed a motor mount in my Odyssey.

There's no doubt that it's quite dangerous to the elderly or those with poor health, but for most people it's less risky than driving to work.

I hope this goes down as the most extreme overreaction of the century. . . because anything more extreme will kill us all.

If it were in beer or whiskey, I bet it wouldn't be an issue, lol!

The stats show that there is a more than 99% chance of recovery, even among the most vulnerable demographic, regardless of your 'approach' to treatment or prevention, better than your chances of recovering from a heart attack.
 
I'm 74 my wife is 71 both of us are in good shape , no issues . We took all the safety steps . My daughter called and invited us over for a Sunday dinner. We all were fine , then my son in law that night at work , felt ache . The next day he went for the Q tip up the nose and out the ear. Positive , by Wednesday my wife and I had like a chest cold , 12 days into it now and we are starting it feel a little better , no taste except for a salty taste making you feel nauseated. Strange illness , staying at the same level for a long time 12 days , today is the first time we both feel improvement , hope we turned the corner. Doubled up on vitamin D , day and night Quil . Sorry for being so long winded , have nothing else to do except passing on what we went through . Be Safe

I went to Omaha, Nebraska for Christmas to visit some family. Seems there are lots of cases there. I started taking Zinc, Quercetin, Bromelain, C and D (thanks to Boyd Allen) a few days before I left. I was going to stop taking these about 14 days after returning home. Now, I keep reading about the “New Strain” and may just continue taking these as a precaution. Better safe than sorry....... So glad that you folks are doing better. Prayers answered.........
