Causes of taste disorders and a loss of taste include:
upper respiratory infections, such as the common cold sinus infections middle ear infections poor oral hygiene and dental problems, such as gingivitis exposure to some chemicals, such as insecticides surgeries on the mouth, throat, nose, or ear head injuries radiation therapy for cancer in this area of the body Causes of smell disorders include:
getting older smoking growths in the nasal cavities conditions that affect the nervous system, such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease Some medications may also affect a person’s ability to taste. These drugs include:
antifungal medications macrolides, which can treat some types of infection fluoroquinolones, a type of antibiotic proton pump inhibitors angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors protein kinase inhibitors HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins)
Of interest:
zinc deficiency leads to loss of smell and taste. I think that COVD-19 might deplete zinc. If this is the mechanism for this symptom, then people who are taking zinc supplements may never have loss of smell and taste even with COVD-19.
I think I had COVD-19 but never experienced loss of smell or taste.
My wife and I have been taking heavy doses of C,D, Zinc and others since the WuFlu started.
Just last month we both got hit with a nasty sickness.
Never have we lost our smell or taste before but we did here. Still isn’t full back for me.
I didn’t get tested but I know that this was different from any other bug I’ve caught before.
It’s most assuredly not a bad as we’ve been lead to believe, but we also don’t have co-morbidities and are still fairly young.
The good news, we let our immune systems do their work. Fought it off. And now have natural immunities instead of relying on a poisonous vaccine for short term “protection”
i think that covid made my peener bigger.
I'm pretty sure.
It occurred when the disease seemed to sweep our area and my breathing was badly damaged for six months after which has never happened before. I describe it in this post:
https://greatawakening.win/p/12ih9o8yeI/my-suspected-vaccine-shedding-ex/
I can't be totally sure though. I never had any tests. The tests are not very useful anyway.
I totally agree that the media may be convincing people that they had COVID-19 when they didn't.
I have an Asian friend (Asian's have more ACE2 receptors) who is in her early thirties and has no health problems. She got Covid and lost her sense of taste and smell for 6 months.
"Researchers also note that the expression of the human cell receptors to which SARS-CoV-2 binds is higher in the nasal cavity and cells in the olfactory tissue."
Could explain why breathing is affected.
Correct, Asian have more ACE2 Receptors. Also older people have more ACE2 Receptors than younger people. This is probably why children are statistically unaffected by Covid.
I am anglo and celtic but I have an unusual blood type, B-
B is more typically asian. I can't find info on whether that means I have high ACE2 expression. I have looked.
I have seen data that COVID severity goes up from O to B to A blood types.
I understand that ACE2 receptors can be found in different tissues in different people. They are generally lowest in children and highest in Asian men. The SARS2 coronavirus uses these receptors to enter the cells.
My wife had true COVID very early on in 2020 (4 positive antibody tests over the next 8 months). She lost her sense of smell and taste for a couple of weeks with ZERO nasal congestion or post-nasal drip. Yes, you lose your sense of smell/taste when your sinuses are swollen and congested, but she had full breathing ability and couldn't smell a very fragrant flower with her nose in it. Then all farts (dog and human) smelled like chick peas for about 6 months after - no other olfactory anomalies.
Yes - this. Covid doesn’t really congest you. It just fucks you slowly
She had the flu. Covid is a media driven HOAX. Turn off your TV.
We've had the flu plenty of times. This was a unique symptom. Not flu.
If it was a hoax, then what was the bioweapon CCP/DS used on us? A hoax virus out of a lab in Wuhan? the same one Fauxi funded through cutouts? This was a predicted bioweapon, specifically a form of species-hopper as now being seen in the new SARS/corona vectors. The intel community, right down to the USDA has had their sights set on this being the most likely form of attack since the late 90s. Don't ask me how I know this - I live in DC.
COVID-19 was suppsoed to be more deadly than it is. The White Hats negated the much of its virulence through hacking the CRISPR sequencing of the genetic components of SARS-COV-19.
Maybe you should try reading a bit more and stop telling people what to do.
Maybe you should turn off the television news, sweetie.
I don't watch TV except for motor racing and the auto auctions.
While our opinions vary, it doesn't mean that both of us can't be correct.
Bioweapons are very real. The poor man's nuke. If you followed Q from day 01, there were discussions related to outstanding WMDs, specifically EMPs. Those were neutralized (Black Eye), which left the rogue elements of the Deep State with the only other option - BIO. (In case you weren't aware, the fentanyl issue is asymmetrical chemical warfare waged on the US, very successfully. Why do you think busts of 10-20 lbs of fent are common? One load can wipe out a major city.)
Anyhow, back to BIO. A weapon was developed. We know this because it what is going to tie everything back to China and Wuhan and Fauxi. Fauxi is about to be exposed as a fraud and a traitor. He's my running bet for first indictment.
Now, was the weapon released? I have no idea. There is obviously a massive information operation being played out with all elements of IW/IO - PSYOP, CYBER, etc. - being employed. The fact of the matter is nothing is absolute and we do not know the absolute facts as to what is happening.
FWIW, I have experience in battlefield medicine and in the sciences, and also an EMT. If I say it was not the flu, it wasn't any form I've seen, symptom-wise. Unless you're a pretty blonde woman, don't patronize me, "sweetie". I'm a pretty serious dude.
One of my fav jokes too!
A guy wakes up after a major drinking binge - full blackout. To his horror, he discovers a red and a brown ring on his dick.
He rushes to the ER and the doctors perform tests.
Good new and bad news. The good news is the red ring is Revlon #8 lipstick. The bad news is the brown ring is Levi Garrett.
Well I didn't get my sense of smell back after I recovered. That is definitely new.
This is a real virus with different characteristics then flu or cold.
One of the reasons so many people died is that doctors were setting the ventilators up for pneumonia patients, but with Covid-19 they had to be set up more like altitude sickness.
One of the disinfo attacks on us is this idea that there is no such virus. That it was just seasonal flu. That is bullshit of the variety to make us look ignorant when people repeat it.
We didn't need to do any lockdowns. We didn't need to wear masks. All we needed to do is keep this away from nursing homes and other elderly people.
Instead Cuomo and the other Dem governors forced Covid-positive patients into the nursing homes against their will.
I was a believer of: no such thing as covid. My husband & I got covid, we were down for 4 weeks. It was like a bad case of bronchitis. My husband thinks we both had pneumonia. We each lost 20 lbs. It's behind us now & we still can't smell. Once in awhile, we might smell for a few seconds. I have to salt all my food now because it tastes flat to me. The truth is nobody has to die. We went through frontline doctors ( frontlinemds.com ), they got us all the meds we needed. They even called us last week to check on us. We got sick on April 26, 2021.
It sucks doesn't it! Took 6 months for my lungs to recover. I suppose you have been taking zinc as part of your meds.
In February of 2020, a co-worker went to visit her sister in NYC. She brought back an illness that ran through our company like wildfire. I was one of the last to get it. We joked about it being Coronavirus, not realizing it was already here.
I was so weak I could not make it upstairs to go to bed.
Are you low in Zinc?
Have you tried zinc supplements and a zinc ionophore? You might recover your sense of smell / taste
Stuffy sinuses lead to loss of smell. Loss of smell diminishes taste.
thread full of Branch Covidians.
but what about the covid " long haulers" ? they never got their smell back.
when i first heard this term i was like " oh shit the truckers are all getting sick now , dang"
Along those lines
Long term ventilator use has always led to kidney failure.
Now they tell ppl it's a c19.symptom.
The hubby and I both had the WuFlu at Christmas. We're in our 50's and have had the flu/colds hundreds of times. The WuFlu was a bad flu with the total loss of smell and taste. Not lose of smell from a stuffy nose, total loss, zero, zilch, zip, nada! My hubby smell and taste came back in a few weeks. Mine came back after a few months.
Bro I’m with you but the loss of smell and taste from Covid are a lot different than your average fucking cold, you’re just being a moron.
I've had plenty of colds and sinus infections in my life, I've had loss of taste and smell...
I've NEVER had a situation where i can't taste anything for months after the symptoms go away.
I know a guy who hasn't been able to taste anything but vinegar for 3 months.
thats fucking bonkers...
This is/was a bioweapon that the chicoms released on the world, it wasn't just the flu, it was a geneticly engineered virus that was created to do all the things we've heard reported, and all the things we don't even know will happen in the coming years from exposure to it.
Acting like the loss of taste and smell is just normal shit from the normal cold is pretending that china didn't declare war on the entire world.
i knew a goy who could taste what i was eating.
joe Rogan and Young jamie put the "lost taste and smell" into the assholesphere, they had a convo about it last year. Yound jamie claimed he lost his taste and smell.
How do you explain the smell/taste being gone after symptoms fade? See my post for details.
All my symptoms are totally gone, feel great and can breathe clearly, but still can't taste or smell anything 8 days later
Yeah but I could eat tablespoons of my reaper sauce and I didnt even sense the heat. No way I could do that just plugging my nose.
wow so awesome. you have imaginary super powers now.
lol….we are it total agreement, bro.
