Relative in hospital with covid pneumonia. Last day of remdesevir use tomorrow and then only dealing with inflammation. High flow O2 70% environment decreased to 40% environment. Has anyone dealt with this before? Please any advice is helpful. This seems like a good sign but would like to know about similar experiences thank you.

Yeah, at this stage, Ivermectin is probably not going to help because the viral load is pretty much gone, these are all just due to inflammation. Someone mentioned NAC - which I believe is good. There are many anti-inflammatory you can try apparently.
Yep. NAC, tumeric, fish oil, ginger, green tea.
If they can eat. Strawberries, blueberries, nuts, fish.
Histamine relates more to your solar exposure and callous then much what you eat. True story. If dietary histamine levels are bothering you you probably have very low Vitamin D (and thus too little sun exposure). Also the link between coof (AND most other diseases) and vitamin D.
Eat high fat, low carb, lowish protein if kidneys are an issue.
Go somewhere where the sun still shines. That's the best you can do.
I’ve learned that NAC works more effectively with selenium.
Finally someone who isn’t screaming ivermectin! Listen my relative is just working on inflammation issues now I believe. Ivermectin is good for covid, but now he’s super enflamed. The question is should we be switching steroids around. But it sounds like dexamethasone will keep being used, which is on the Zelenco protocol.
Yeah Ivermectin is super useful for prevention and for early treatment, but not after inflammation phase. Yes, I have heard steroids mentioned as well, but not sure which ones etc. Dexa is anti-inflammatory as well, so I think it should be okay
It is more effective early, but it HAS been used in severe hospitalized cases successfully:

Ok thanks I think we should add ivm
Yes, I was given ivermectin in the hospital after 8 days of illness.
I think you need to read through all the protocols the FLCCC put out. Ivermectin is listed as effective the entire covid cycle.
If you have a link that would be helpful, I will search FLCCC
True. Son took ivermectin months after COVID. He had pneumonia. He had never gotten fully well after COVID. Doctor gave it to him with steroids and Trelegy inhaler. He is ok but with asthma at times.
Okay I will check it, thanks
Busenide. It is in my Simbacort I take for asthma.
I think the name is actually Budesonide?
I got over covid pneumonia a couple weeks ago, but mine seemed to be much less severe. I was about 89% 02 when I went to ER. If I knew I could get monoclonal antibodies at walk-in, I would've went there. They gave me an O2 cylinder and I started on 3L/min and gradually reduced as needed. I felt immediately better, but not 100%. Also did Remdesivir, which I didn't want and steroids. I asked about mono antibodies after I was admitted, not knowing they are only outpatient. I took 4 doses of remdesivir. The studies where people had bad reactions used 10 doses (10 days). I was in the hospital 5 days, but really could've went home with an O2 cylinder on the first day, but I believe they kept me only because the protocol now is 5 days remdesivir, which the doctor stopped at 4 days after reviewing blood work. Did 5 more days of steroids at home. In the hospital I had a mostly normal diet with 3 meals per day and drank lots of water.
Lower inflammation - not just by diet (all the regular stuff - like only eat beff/seafood aka AS MUCH DHA as possible! and low in carbs and many types of plant based foods because they can be inflammatory), then consider what the light environment (and lack of natural light/sunshine) does and what it controls. Controls circadian rhythm - which is huge regarding inflammation. HUGE! Reset leptin sensitivity also. (which is done through circadian rhythm. Minimise their EMF exposure (which is hard in modern life, especially in a hospital setting).
A hospital is literally one of the WORST places to get healthy. They might fix you, but getting you healthy - impossible. Get out, and get outside in nature.
Get him some fish oil! I was just reminding some doctors about these studies. Fish oil capsules, 3 grams per day, or 3000 mg per day. Can he tolerate a larger pill? If not they make smaller pills. Big issue is burping if it’s a problem can smell fishy. They sell deodorized tabs with lemon. I want to post some studies on how fish oil lowers full body inflammation and can do that. Otherwise trust me, I do diet and nutritional teaching specific to clinical implications in nursing.
Better is a higher end fish oil capsules, but best is cod liver oil and I recommend Nordic Naturals. This tastes like lemon and is very tolerable. If you paste: Nordic Naturals cod liver oil into the search bar you can order online.
I HIGHLY recommend this to reduce overall body inflammation after he is done with his dexamethasone. Together it would be too much, fish oil suppresses inflammation going forward and will combat long covid.
It will prevent heart attacks and strokes and is a mild natural blood thinner.
You must ask his pharmacist if he’s on any contraindications with his other meds. You simply do this by calling the pharmacy where he gets his meds and asking, “can you pull up my dads medication profile and tell me if it would be safe for him to take fish oil supplements?”
This will aggressively promote his health in more ways than I can teach. It’s an essential fatty acid we don’t get and unless he eats salmon and tuna three times a week, he’s deficient. Doctors are just now starting to address it but they don’t enough, leading a lot of problems.
