White Pine, Pine needle tea wouldn't hurt. Taoist monks drink it for health and longevity. People are using it to detox the covid jab and the non vaxed are using it to fight off the shedding spike proteins from the jabbed.
Also, Have you been checked for Lyme Disease? Despite what the "officials" say you could have been bitten and not even know it, a bullseye rash is NOT always present. I know people that got Lyme Disease who say they never saw a tick or bite. One is a runner, she started having similar issues to what you described, as well as bad joint pain. She had to stop running. Being exhausted all the time is one of the most common symptoms of Lyme Disease. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her for a long time. On a whim they decided to test for Lyme (it is prevalent in our area) and they found it. Good Luck
I don't know if this might be helpful to you. Sometimes we can get sidetracked with what we think is the correct diagnosis, and miss something else entirely. I had long-term poisoning from formaldehyde fumes (from a new sofa we purchased), that led to a host of autoimmune problems. The formaldehyde isn't necessarily important (although there are several class-action lawsuits from its use in consumer goods), but what IS important is a trigger event...perhaps your vaccination.
In my case, the formaldehyde "awakened" a latent genetic marker for celiac disease, and I've suffered weird, unrelated symptoms for twelve years until discovering this connection just recently. Other people have been crippled by things like carbon monoxide exposure, which led to chronic autoimmune disorders.
I also wonder if it might be possible you were told you were given an HPV vaccine, but given something else entirely as part of a covert medical trial? Are your medical records sealed? Maybe something to look into.
Just trying to help you think outside the box. Seems like you've given this enough time to respond to the therapies you've described...perhaps it's time to think in another direction? Best wishes.
The most serious of the symptoms I began experiencing was chronic migraine. This was back around 2008 (?) or so, when the gluten-free diet began becoming popular. I was so desperate for a solution, because these migraines were constant and didn't respond to most of the usual medications, that I tried going gluten-free at the time. There was no benefit at the time, but what I didn't realize was that I was poisoning myself constantly, daily, on that darn sofa!
I don't travel away from home that often, but after a couple of years, I noticed that I began feeling a little better when, on the rare occasion, I was away from home for a few days. It was then that I noticed a strange odor coming from the sofa -- especially when I had been sitting on it for a few minutes and warming it up with body heat. I purchased a test kit from Amazon, sent it in to the lab for testing, and it verified a dangerous level coming from the sofa...both from the wrinkle-free plush fabric and the polyethylene foam.
I tore the sofa down to the frame and replaced the materials, rebuilding it, so I removed the formaldehyde source. But, as I mentioned, the formaldehyde triggered the latent genetic marker for celiac. There are two types of celiac -- "full-blown" disease, and something else called "silent celiac." Silent celiac is sinister, and no doctor ever suspected or suggested this diagnosis. The migraines over the past decade since the formaldehyde discovery have been crippling, but I also had two other, weird symptoms also associated with silent celiac. One of them is an unexplained chronic rash that failed to respond to any kind of creme or ointment, and the other is/was painful sores inside my mouth and gums. If you are familiar with the diagnosis of ME/CFS, this was the tentative diagnosis given me by a couple of physicians, because I also experienced fatigue and osteoarthritis. I have been on low-dose naltrexone for over ten years, and it helps a bit with my energy and pain level.
I went gluten-free AGAIN six weeks ago because a new doctor had the foresight to do a celiac DNA lab, and my migraines and other symptoms are mostly gone, and I expect further improvement as time goes on. (The rash and sores inside my mouth have also resolved.) I've also discovered that, among other things, I have developed an extreme sensitivity to the airborne neurotoxin from Red Tide, and we have had the worst Red Tide season in history here. It causes migraines so bad that my powerful medications are nearly ineffective.
Also, the formaldehyde caused a couple of troubling food intolerances where none existed before. Tomatoes and yeast will also trigger migraines worse than usual.
You mentioned "eye problems." If, by this, you mean blurry vision, or crust/"sand", this is an indication of a hyper-immune reaction. The tear ducts are one such location where white blood cells are excreted, and they can cause a "thickening" of the mucous layer over the eye causing some blurriness.
It's extraordinarily difficult to summarize all that I've experienced and learned to try to overcome this. Hopefully something here is helpful.
I'm 60, myself. I, too, occasionally had an extreme sensitivity on the inside of my forearms near my elbows, where it was painful for anything to even brush them lightly. Came and went periodically. Other symptoms that told me I had an immune system overload coming on were hot flashes, as well as a "malar rash" (flushing) across my nose and cheeks. Usually, I had a very difficult time regulating my temperature, and was frequently chilled. My normal basal temperature is about 97F. These symptoms continued chronically for years after getting rid of the formaldehyde, so, I believe it's safe to say they were a neurological component of the celiac.
I sleep on a 4" memory foam pad, that I've had for many years. I had it tested, and it's benign. I know what you're saying about them making the bed more comfortable! It is indispensable for me. Be advised that there are different grades of memory foam. A good pad might cost in the $400-500 range. The cheaper ones aren't really memory foam, and might be more prone to off-gassing toxic compounds. If you had an expensive one, it's too bad you threw it out before having it tested...it may have been OK. You can buy latex foam pads which are completely safe...unless you have a latex allergy.
My diet is so limited right now, I'm having substantial difficulty finding safe things to eat, and to get enough calories each day. (But I'm still overweight by 25 pounds -- figure that one out!!) Once you eliminate tomatoes, yeast, MSG, and gluten, you've eliminated most of the available prepared foods for easy meals. Unless you're powerfully motivated, I might not recommend going gluten-free without something else to go on. You'll have to give it at the very least six weeks. Scan over this webpage, and see if anything rings a bell: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/symptoms-of-celiac-disease/ Any doctor can order the DNA test, and it's very simple...any lab can do it. However, just because the DNA test may come back positive for the marker, does not mean you have celiac. The only confirmed method of testing for celiac is the biopsy, which requires sedation and an invasive procedure. If you've been gluten-free, the biopsy method will come back negative.
That said, if you ARE motivated, and want to stay away from doctors and procedures as much as possible, then going gluten-free will give you basically the same information empirically...especially if you end up feeling better over time. There is no treatment for celiac other than going gluten-free. If you have migraines, like me, or other extreme symptoms, there are medications to manage them. One very safe medication that most doctors aren't aware of, for this off-label application, is low-dose doxepin. At 10-20mg daily, it has a completely different profile than its normal use. Used at this dosage it is the most powerful antihistamine known, and in 2-3 days will shut down a hyper-immune reaction. As with all antihistamines, doxepin is prone to tolerance, so, if you do use it, use it sparingly only when necessary.
If you do discover that you have some sort of gluten sensitivity, you may benefit from taking the Qunol liquid CoQ10 (orange-pineapple flavor). I began using it because it is supposed to help with energy and cardiac issues, but very soon after starting, it cured a chronic "constitution" issue I've had for years. I had changed nothing else during that time, so I'm sure it was the Qunol.
I can't remember if I mentioned the chronic rash I had, just below my sternum. My dermatologist had prescribed a cream for candida control (Ketoconazole), which helped somewhat, but never fully resolved it. Within 10 days of going gluten-free, it had completely resolved.
The constellation of possible symptoms for celiac is massive...I've read up to 200 possible symptoms. My recommendation to you would be the same as to the OP...avoid concentrating on a single diagnosis until you're positive, and be open to consider all possibilities. This article describes some of the potential neurological factors: https://kresserinstitute.com/gluten-killing-brain/
I love Italian food, and that has been one of the most painful adjustments I've had to make. However, there are substitutes. I make a marinara sauce out of carrots and beets and spices, which is almost exactly like tomato marinara. Gluten-free pasta choices are limited at this point, but my favorite is the Tinkyada fettucine brown rice pasta...it is excellent. I also make a "no-mato" ketchup. These sauces freeze well, so I make large batches and freeze them into meal-sized containers.
With respect to your spinal issues, I have lost my two bottom discs, and have been investigating surgical intervention. Nothing here happens quickly! I have seen four orthopedic surgeons over a period of two years, and they need all kinds of expensive and involved tests. I've had X-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, and a discography. One surgeon, when he found out I had some sort of autoimmune issue, wouldn't continue consulting until I had a comprehensive skin allergy test to eliminate the possibility of me being allergic to the metals they use in the implants. If you do have a metal sensitivity, they now have a material called "PEEK" which is a bio-safe plastic for rods, screws, etc. Not all surgeons are aware of this material, and not all areas are covered by the sales reps who make it available to the doctors to use. Metal sensitivity complications is a dirty little secret in the orthopedic surgery business.
I have heard about the med-beds, too, and it seems too fantastic to be real. That would truly be remarkable! Let's keep our fingers crossed...
Thanks for the update on the med-beds. Very interesting! Given your intestinal issues, I would at the very least give the Qunol a try. A large bottle is about $35 I think, and you take a tablespoon a day. Best wishes!
Just reporting what I read, NAC apparently helps lung issues, and iodine apparently helps everything.... like an older ivermectin lol. Take care pede, check with a doctor about these suggestions. Get well.
Really sorry to hear about your health issues. Hopefully some of this advice helps - I’ve been taking N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) for chronic sinus issues - it thins mucus super helpful for non-stop phlegm. I use the Pure Encapsulations brand sold by the local compounding pharmacy or my chiropractor.
My allergies have been going crazy lately with the hot/cold weather and pressure changes in TX so recently added serrapeptase based on someone from gaw’s recommendation - day 3 and post-nasal drip is finally gone! It’s known to help with sinus issues and inflammation, which might be what’s happening to your lung tissue? The wellness specialist at the local pharmacy also mentioned quercetin and stinging nettles help with drainage/mucus, so I picked up something called D-Hist for seasonal allergy support. I also use Xlear nose spray twice daily and toothpaste which contains xylitol - kills bacteria in your nasal passage and up my usual colloidal silver spray if I wake up and my throat is scratchy.
I will add one last thing - if you have access to a place that will give vitamin IVs / shots, I’ve found that they work so much better than oral pills - I’ve been going every other week since my chiropractor mentioned it and wish I knew sooner. I usually get an IV full of NAD - cellular rejuvenation, NAC - amino acid antioxidant for lung/liver repair, quercetin, lysine, glutathione - immune support, vitamin C and vitamin B5 / B6. I can’t say enough good things bc I always feel like a million bucks the next day. Good luck, let us know what you try that works and how you’re feeling. Lifting you up in prayer for complete healing!
You may already be doing this, but if not, I would highly suggesting seeking out a Functional Medicine Dr. If you have never heard that term, they are fully qualified MDs, but they take a more natural approach and don't just grab for the prescription pad. They are also (typically) far more informed about things than the average MD, so a good FMD may already know how to treat your issues.
I hope you can get help. I was suspicious of those from the minute they started advertising them and it bothered me so much they were aimed at young girls / women. And btw, if it can be determined the vaxx harmed you, remember the Vaccine Injury Fund and apply to that for some monetary compensation. Good luck and I hope you'll keep us updated.
Hey Wolfy, you have been given lots of advice here that seems sound. Obviously doctors and big pharma are not trying to heal you but manage symptoms. If I may offer my 2 cents worth, a healthy diet without meat and dairy and other processed food will make a big difference in most health issues. RawFigs.com has easy to search info. Hope you get better soon.

Believe that Ivermectin will clear your lungs up within 3-5 days, it worked for me. Tractor Supply has a tube.
Inhaling 3% H202 from a nebulizer could help you immensely
The herb Mullien is great for clearing the lungs
Drinking 'pure gum spirits' of turpentine is rough, but it works as well, use sugar
Oh yes! Mullein! Good call.
Never heard of Mullien. Thanks for mentioning it.
