Lately been seeing posts about folks who've done everything right and still have bad covid.
Before going to the hospital, this therapy is worth a try. Difficulty breathing is very scary, and once it starts with Covid, it can worsen rapidly.
This happened to me. I was already on the recommended vitamins, and I was in a bad state, no knowledge of ivermectin at the time, and for me it felt like my choices were this nebulizer therapy, death, or the hospital. (Yes, I had a major comorbidity: type 1 diabetes. Otherwise healthy and active, my breathing had become increasingly difficult and was a few days past the worrying stage.
Fortunately the nebulizer therapy worked quickly. Everything is OTC, way faster than getting a prescription or an appointment, and very inexpensive, with the exception of the nebulizer, $40-100. (Obviously nothing compared to any hospital cost.) All usually available in one trip to a pharmacy.
It quickly calmed my breathing, and I felt a little better immediately, and much better overnight. I continued for weeks, not out of any discipline or respect for medicine, but because it was so obviously helpful. It is worth a try.
When covid is bad, it can sneak up on people. Both articles are good. After reading I think you'll agree there is a big upside compared to almost no downside.

By all means, do the vitamins, NAC, IVM or HCQ, I'm not opposed to any of those things. But don't ignore breathing issues especially if they seem to get progressively worse, and keep this in mind. These articles mention more than one formula- if you're skittish, just start with the most diluted; your body will tell you if it helps and you can priced from there. Pro tip in comment about making nebulizing even easier.
I have not tried this. I'm only on 200mg of zinc and vitamin c w 2000iu vitamin d daily as a best practice type thing. Have not taken IVM yet (neigh!) nor really explored Quinine AT ALL.
Thank you for the heads up; as we type 1s often note any substantial changes to insulin levels, that's obviously a very interesting observation by you.
Since I've got your ear, care to elaborate on the Quinine dosage / reasoning / etc. Also, I'm pretty sure 200mg of zinc + vitamin c could be "upped?" Supplemental nutrition is definitely a weak point of mine. TIA.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QVBK2NQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_0KZJJ11YWHGA9SGCQETX is the one I used (went liquid initially since I figured it is likely to absorb better) & picked it up after someone on this forum (or maybe TD on reddit/.win) let me know that HQC was a derived from Quinine. They claimed they worked in a lab & I figured it couldn't hurt to try.
I also use Zinc Maxx by Gannon Med, I have tried other cheaper ones & found that this one just works for me. It is Zinc Gluconate 50mg. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0863NNPH4/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_1Y4QVF42S7KQY1NFYTSE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I figured the FDA likely limited "suggested dosages" in supplements to a point that they are not effective from what I had seen in other studies related to Vit D & Vit C.
When I got a head cold, I did the suggested quinine dosage 3 times per day (which was three times the amount) & took 300-400mg of Zinc.
I had later discovered that zinc depletes copper & that was causing some post concussion issues to resurface, so I added more copper when I went on high dosages. I also noticed that my skin cleared up starting a few days into treatment at those levels.
At this point, if I get a wound that won't heal up, or start to feel gross I take 300-400mg of Zinc with 2 droppers filled with Quinine & that helps quide a bit by the next morning with cold symptoms & I will keep going it for skin issues until wounds go away, for really stubborn wounds that just won't heal up I take it morning & night (dealing with nasuea in the day for a few hours occassionally. It makes me think I may have a perpetual low zinc issue from cells using it all the time to fight diabetes or something else.
Quinine is an ionophore which as best I understand it works for zinc like insulin works for sugar. It just let's the zinc get into the cells.
Zinc & this Quinine knocks out the crappy cold feeling within 24 hours (usually 12) & then I have normal congestion that clears up much faster. As a T1D these would stay with me for 30%-50% longer than my non diabetic family members, so this has been a game changer for me.
If I use Queceritine instead of Quinine I have not noticed a difference in insulin need, though it does help with enough vitamin C to get that zinc into my system. Also Vitamin C is water soluble, so as I have come to understand it, that goes right through you. I went from 10k daily in a single dose to five to six 2k doses & that seems to do better for my overall health through the day, though that may just be in my head so I believe it, I can't really pinpoint why it feels better.
Also I found in a book from an Indian Dr that all diabetics are vitamin D deficient. Once I paid attention to it, my sugars in the summer (even laying in a hammock with no shirt) dropped significantly. More so with work obviously, but a noted difference in insulin need when I spend 8+ hours in the sun lazily or not. So I take 40k Vitamin D daily too. I can give you the link to that book if you like, it had some interesting info & an experience in my 20s (10 years after being diagnosed) has me convinced we can reverse this thing if we know what we are doing (ie not just a fluke that our insulin needs drop). I didn't really connect those dots until I read this book & realized everything he noted I did during a summer gig on a farm in a small town for an entire summer. It is what has me searching for ways to decrease insulin need (which now I have a few & am excited to look over your info).
Thanks for the conversation. Please feel free to hit me up with any new data or if you are looking for clarification.
Excellent data. Thanks for the wall of text, seriously. I'm always on the go, but I'm legitimately going to print this thread out for reference. I feel it's that important to me. All of the dosage and interaction information is stuff I've seen in different threads here, but never wrapped my head around Having it presented specifically for a t1 is an invaluable cheat sheet for me.
Couple things. Of course I'd like the book title! My much smarter, more nutrition savvy wife has also hinted at me about her suspicion on a "cure", so to speak, in the realm of natural medicine. As I said, I'm printing this out to peruse in depth - it appears you may have dropped the title in another reply. I'll see.
The vitamin d deficiency also anecdotally makes sense for me. Tons of observable data about my relative glucose levels versus time in sun. Easy to measure as I'm in Florida.
The wound care stuff is SUPER interesting as well.
Just a ton here. Got a soup about to boil over, g2g. Enormous sincere thanks to both yourself and u/Mr_A You have to feel like God gave us a test run for this vaccine bullshit, yes?
edit: printed. thanks again.

Diabetes Type 1 & 2 Cure in 72 hours is the name of the book.
You are very welcome. Covid has been a God send to me. So much valuable data that helps me with overall wellness & if this exosome (spell check) theory is accurate, it could be diabetes & other illness is caused primarily by lack of nutrition to defend against parasites.
Indont know how much I accept that theory, though the use of anti paracitics & my drop in needed insulin does give me reason to think there could be a connection.
You're the best.
FYI- you mentioned FDA guidelines for vitamins being misleading/worthless. Whenever I want to research anything about vitamins or supplements, I always check the Linus Pauling Institute as a good source. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/
Thank you! I will need to look into it.
