All day yesterday, I could feel a cold coming on, just a regular cold with aches and sniffles and a cough. My chest especially on one side felt a bit tight but I was getting plenty of oxygen and felt it was no big deal, just a cold. 50 white male in good health, no issues.
I went to bed early and was breathing good but still felt heaviness in chest and figured if this is a cold, it will probably be ramping up. I took action.
I self-administered 7 of the 3mg IVERMECTIN pills, plus Quercetin, Zinc and Centrum which contains C and D. I then fell into a deep sleep and woke up sweaty a couple hours later with zero breathing issues. I was still achey so I took a ibuprofen and went back to bed.
This morning, I have much better energy than yesterday. My breathing is much better too. I still definitely have a cold but I feel like the medicine I took had a positive impact. I'll take my 2nd round dose tomorrow morning.
Good stuff, but the Centrum is useless.
I also want you Pedes to understand something. If you get symptoms, your immune system is not where it should be. Please take steps to ramp it up. The best thing is the world is to get a good tan when you can. Vit-D is the key. If you can't get a tan, find a good D supplement. More expensive means more bioavailable for the most part. Chaga mushrooms are a great supplier of D among other things. Another great way to build immunity is to take curcumin (high quality) and flush niacin at a 2:1 ratio and build up to about 3g of niacin per day for therapeutic effects.
Folks should be taking the Z Stack as a preventative everyday. Vitamin D, Zinc, Quercetin & Vitamin C.
That's better than nothing. I believe the niacin approach to be more efficient and far more reaching than just COVID. But whatever, get that D up up up however you can do it. Maybe drink some whole milk now and again.
Depending on your latitude, the tan could be a complete waste of time. See this presentation from Dr. Michael Holick, one of the foremost experts in vitamin D. Sorry for the YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGS7Yn4KL1I
That's why I said "when you can".
Here's a small study (doesn't say time of year for some reason). Bradenton, FL compared to Erie, PA.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28662556/
Conclusion: Latitude was found to be a statistically significant risk factor for vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, the findings suggest that persons with darker skin tone and, to a lesser degree, men and persons who are overweight or obese are also at increased risk for vitamin D deficiency. Physicians should be cognizant of these risk factors when deciding whom to screen.
Pro tip: If you live below 35 degrees latitude you can get D every day of the year. This is because UVB rays penetrate the atmosphere at 35 degrees above the horizon.
Another thing that can help with clearing your chest and nasal passage is a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl of steaming water and covering your head with a towel and breathing it in. I use it for colds here in Aus. Hope you feel better soon.
Sounds about right. People I know experienced the same thing. They also took ivermectin and the other stuff you mention. A neti pot and colloidal silver also help.
Pine needle tea will help, add honey!
raw garlic, several cloves minced, water to wash it down.
watch your stool for parasites!
Glad you had what you needed on hand and are feeling better.
Glad you're feeling better!
Usually I just take one quercetin, zinc, magnesium and vitamin D and it does the same thing. K ocks it right out of me.
