Thursday afternoon I started feeling (a burning? rawness?) discomfort in my throat. I went home and took a dose of Ivermectin, 200 mg of zinc and 1000 mg of quercetin and I also gargled hydrogen peroxide before going to bed. Woke up with a slightly less discomfort in my throat and called my boss to alert him that I was ok to work but felling like I may be coming down with something. He told me to stay the hell away from work and for me to get better. So I took another dose of zinc and quercetin and gargled hydrogen peroxide. I went to the store and bought grapefruit, blueberries, tonic water, and a sub sandwich loaded with spinach.
I peeled 3 grapefruits and boiled the rinds for 2 hours. Took a nap because my head started to get stuffy. My nose was runny after I woke up and I thought, "here we go, I'm sick!" I poured 20 ounces of tonic water and mixed in 2 tablespoons of grapefruit rind juice and drank it. That was at about 10 a.m. Friday. I took another dose of zinc and quercetin at noon and then another at 7 p.m. with a tonic and grapefruit to wash it down.
Saturday morning I felt no change - which was GREAT! It's not getting worse! Gargle peroxide, take zinc and q, wash it down with tonic and grapefruit, take my second dose of Ivermectin. Do the same at night sans Ivermectin.
This morning I woke up and forgot I was supposed to be sick! Holy crap, I've never beaten a cold this quickly! I used to take dayquill, nyquill dimetapp etc. but not any more!
I just want to thank you guys for posting these little remedies. I can attest that they do work.
Fantastic testimony, fren! Glad you're feeling better!
I take 15,000 IU of Vitamin D, 700mg of Buffered C, and 1000mg of Black Seed Oil each morning. Alternate in Dandelion Extract, Zinc + Quercetin, or NAC each day. Higher doses and mixed for the NAC, Q, DE, and Zinc if I have any odd symptoms or feel bad.
I've made a point to offer to bring groceries to friends, family, coworkers, etc when they've had Covid or other illness, using the excuse "Well, if they're vaccinated and you are, it'll be resistant to your vaccine, so I'll take the risk against my immunity since I can work from home and don't have kids." I've had a few people take me up on the offer and have yet to come down with any symptoms after any deliveries. (have had a few normal sniffly days, but they weren't around those times and were quickly recovered from)
Currently on standby to see if I get to put my immunity up against a variant from Egypt. Friend's dad caught the Coof through his vax on a vacation. (Ironically unrelated Hey u/catsfive, how're you feeling from your trip?)
Do you know what your vitamin D level is? isnt too much bad for you? so if your level is good, no need to take it. 30-100 is the range... I was at 18, and its taken a year now, mine was just 103. Doc said to back off a tad.
So, my doc had suggested 10k to 15k per day in the morning. I've lost a fair bit of weight, but I'm a pretty large guy. The larger you are, the less efficiently you absorb.
Great advice on checking the levels. I'm due for a wellness check soon. I guess I'll get ready to beat away the Vax Offers while I get some medical advice. (My doc has never been overly pushy about much of it at all, honestly)
