Hubs and I both have the Vid. I’m actually immune compromised and have been taking hydroxychloroquine for a few years now. I take it regularly with Quercetin. The husband caught the Covid and was very sick very fast the first day. I gave him: 400mg of HCQ and 1200mg of Quercetin. He also took lots of vitamin C, Sambucol elderberry tabs, zinc and lots of fluids. He felt exponentially better within about 8 hours of the first dose. The next dose was all but the HCQ as per the AFFLD protocol. Within 24 hours he was nearly normal with just some sniffles and a light cough. By day 3 he is almost completely 100% doesn’t sound or look sick. He will continue to take 200mg of HCQ a week for about 2-3 more weeks.
For myself I was doing fine being around him and not getting sick for several days until I forgot to take one of my normal daily doses of HCQ and Quercetin. I was sick within 8 hours. As soon as I realized I double dosed my meds (400mg HCQ and 2400mg Quercetin) as well as added Vit D 5,000iu and an iron supplement because my body destroys red blood cells at a faster rate thanks to a rare autoimmune disorder I have.
Because of the autoimmune disorder I cannot take Vit C, elderberry, echinacea, or any of the immune boosters so I’ve compensated with maximum doses of Quercetin and NSAIDs to suppress my inflammatory response. It’s working quite well and I’m pleased. I’ve had colds that have required weeks of steroids for me to recover from but this is nothing in comparison.
Tl;dr The protocols work, even for immune compromised individuals. Catch it fast, treat it aggressively, and go about your life.
You’re probably right, but in my case the NSAIDs aren’t really for the Covid but for preempting the inflammatory response with my autoimmune disorder. I’m kind of having to do double duty. my immune system goes into overdrive trying to fight off the cold. As a result it pretty much just tries to kill everything in my body like a giant nuclear option. If I can keep the inflammation down I (hopefully) won’t have to resort to steroids once everything else goes haywire.
Tylenol is a pain reliever but not anti inflammatory so it won’t do squat Aspirin isn’t as effective for me personally.
