There’s this drug Wegovy used for weight lost. It’s an injection. It works. Yesterday daughter, who pays out of pocket for it, was in with her Doctor for a follow up appt discussing her progress with this drug and conversation turned to how expensive it was, and how it’s hard to get insurance coverage for it. (Only certain insurance will pay for it and only when a person is substantially overweight.) The doctor told her drug was expensive because the medical industry doesn’t want people being able to afford it and losing weight as there is more profit in over weight, unhealthy people.

My solution...be your own doctor...
Yeah, to a large degree I am my own doctor....except for when I need a prescription that I can get only through a licensed doctor. I recently had a severe sinus infection, and had to ask my GP doctor for antibiotics and steroids to fight it off. I don't have either of those things in my preparations room or my go-bag.
Put some Lugol's iodine in a saline solution bottle to squirt up your nose (from covid protocols)...and then keep lots of echinacea goldenseal on hand...goldenseal will dry up mucous anywhere...and you can take a lot with no adverse effects...I take it at the first sign of any infection...echinacea will boost your immune system. Also massive doses of C cures anything...anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial...take to bowel tolerance. Also make sure your vitamin D is over 50 and be sure to add K...Two of the best things you can take....also Traditional Medicinals has great teas...Breathe Easy, Gypsy Cold Care, Throat Coat etc...excellent teas...very helpful...
Don't mean to intrude...I just have so many ways to treat things...everytime someone says an illness...I think...cures...God bless you and yours...
Thank you. I'm actually doing a lot of those things (vitamins B-12, C, D, and K), Quercetin, Zinc, black cumin seed, magnesium, etc. I will most certainly look into echinacea goldenseal, thanks for that.
Great supplements you are taking...in a way covid was a blessing because I added supplements that have really made a difference...most change I noticed was D/K and NAC...black Cumin seed really reduces inflammation.
I always take 100mg. profile of B complex because it is water soluble (along with C) and it is hard to get enough each day because your body doesn't store it...those are two major anti-stress vitamins...
Steroids are poison for your body
Colloidal silver
Ion sinus spray
Most sinus infections are fungal not bacterial
You don't need a prescription to buy fish antibiotics. They work just as well as stuff sold at your local pharmacy. You can buy them online without prescription at veterinary medicine suppliers like Allivet and Aquanest. For everything else, look for Indian pharmacies online and get it shipped overseas.
I keep fish amoxicillin and bird azithromycin on hand. I used them when I had strep last year. They come in human dosages (i.e. 500 mg tablets). You can get them from Chewy or Valley Vet, no prescription needed.
