I literally bought it just now due to all the testimonials. Seems like better for colds than ivermectin, at least cheaper. I’m dealing with what I think are after affects of COVID and it’s been over 3 weeks. I took ivermectin and didn’t have many symptoms but after it I had cold sores that were very deep and painful. It almost feels like shingles too and I did notice a lot of scabbing up my spine with eczema. I also saw a few areas that could be shingles but like I said, I took ivermectin and it seems to have made everything mild. I just need more help to kick this lingering cough and cold sores.
Let me also add, the cold sores themselves are under my tongue at the very back so they don’t hurt too much but they make my lymph nodes swell and at one point I had a double chin but it’s slowly getting better.
I was diagnosed with two auto immune diseases and while my inflammation levels were very high, I had horrible ulcers in my mouth, on and under my tongue. I got shingles, and my muscles hurt. Your symptoms sound like what mine were. Might be worth having a SED rate test run. I read Ashwaganda is great for inflammation - I'm planning on trying it myself.
It does appear that COVID like viruses can cause lots of mouth sores due to distracting your immune system. I found research papers online about this and it’s barely talked about. Basically they said if the person had COVID, they have a very high chance of having more painful sores than previous. I also seem to have allergies come and go that I barely had before and bad asthma. I’ve been using hydrogen peroxide and it does stop the sores really fast but it seems like they keep coming back due to the immune system or not keeping the treatment up after the pain goes down
I've been reading up on natural herbs to support my immune system to try and get off the Rx stuff and astragalus and Ashwaganda were recommended. Perhaps incorporating immune booster will help? I read similar about COVID and the vax concerning immune issues. Just a thought - you need to do what's best for your health. I'll keep you in my prayers
Well add oregano capsules and see if that helps...it sounds like you are dealing with spike proteins...add quercetin to your zinc (or green tea if you have a problem with quercetin ie.thyroid issues)...the quercetin puts the zinc in the cell to disable the spike proteins...also consider adding ashwaganda and astragalus to your regimen...they are great adaptogens and will improve immune function...be sure to take as much vitamin C in a day as you can...it is antifungal/viral/ bacterial...to bowel tolerance ideally...good luck with improving your health...
I have also taken NAC since covid and that is THE BEST supplement ever ...protects your cells....
I did take two full doses of ivermectin at least a day apart and I already notice most of my symptoms going down. God prompted me to do this after prayer and then I found this and my symptoms seem to match long COVID. Lymph nodes are less swollen today and I can tell my neck pain is mostly due to muscle cramping and swelling now. Brain fog lifted and I didn’t realize I had it. Anxiety is much better and I can control it now and not give into the health worries. It does help to know what it likely was too
Please look at my response to Tankstir...if you combine astragalus with your ashwaganda you will find two of the best adaptogen herbs available...it definitely sounds like you need to address inflammation...also make sure your vitamin d levels are about 60 ng/mL and take vitamin k with that...
Do you have any suggestions on dosage? I'm currently using Actemra injection weekly but side effects are cholesterol levels off the charts - I have to stop it for next two months bc I'm having another spinal fusion in Aug and Ortho wants me off completely so I heal .....so if I can find a good alternative I will stop it and the Prednisone completely . Late to the adaptogen info but trying get informed
I'm on prescription vitamin D but I'll need to get the vitamin K. My inflammation is regulated now but it was severe then. I'd like to get off the prescription tho - it causes my cholesterol to skyrocket lol
Thank you
The prescription vitamin D usually gives you 50,000 IU once a week so you can just as easily buy your own...I take 10,000 IU's a day and maintain my d level at about 60ng/ml...it is important to know where you are at...I use Super K from Life Extension and I am very pleased with that also...72 and no osteoporosis or other issues so it is all good...also the high levels of d help tremendously with arthritis...I am glad you are getting better....
You may want to try adding the amino acid L-lysine to your diet...that is used for shingles which is in the herpes family...also melissa essential oil will neutralize cold sores...just a drop and they do not develop...
if you thing you have shingles the definitive treatment is a combination of Ravinstara and Calophyllum essential oils per Dr. Schnaubelt...his information is online and he heads the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy...he also sells a blend for shingles....
That’s terrible - I noticed when I was taking my “COVID Protocol” I was taking 100mg of Zinc (plus other vitamins) but I used to always get cold sores when exposed to the sun- but when taking the zinc I didn’t get them. Now I take it when I know I’ll be exposed like beach or golfing & I don’t get them anymore. Idk if that would help you or not but thought Id share.
I did oregano oil with a low dose for a few days and didn’t see many side affects. Recently tried taking a higher dose by pill and it was a very effective pain reliever at twice the recommended dosage. I had some digestion issues related to the higher dose and needed to take it with food. I was told by a relative to try that for a week but it didn’t improve the swelling after a few days. I had been taking a low dose when I use ivermectin but went off it for a few days and trying a full dose may have worked really well. We will see but I also have a doctor appointment coming up just in case.
My symptoms seemed to get worse after I stopped taking ivermectin and it seems like it developed a sinus infection. May be related or the root cause of some of this. I’ve had a history of sinus infection but it’s been years. I had been taking some ivermectin at the beginning of this sickness and a low dose near the end but I guess that might have complicated things. I was just nervous about taking a higher dose and the smaller dose is what fixes my joint pain.

Have you tried an antiviral?
One of the pharmaceuticals?

Good luck, keep us posted with how you end up doing.
Thanks for the update, I’m glad you figured it out and that you’re doing better.
And I’m really glad you followed up here with what it ended up being. You never know who else this might help!
