I'm once again down really sick with whatever disgusting virus is going around. Started with a really sore throat, then transitioned to body aches, chills, weakness, and finally a fever. I'm doing a little better, but feel horribly weak and can't speak because of how sore my throat is.
I was sick with almost the exact same illness back in August, and it clung on for over 2 weeks! I had some Ivermectin at the time (I'm out now), and took 12 mg every 6 hours. I wasn't getting better, so I upped the dosage to 24-36mg every 6 hours. Still no better. I was already taking vitamin C, vitamin D3, and zinc. I was chugging fluids like crazy, resting/sleeping/napping for over 14 hours each day, and eating what I could handle.
What was I doing wrong? Was the Ivermectin I got no good? I can't remember the online company it came from, but the product itself was from India. Was that not a good country to buy it from? Is Ivermectin no good for simple colds? What Ivermectin products have worked for you? Because I'm at my wits end and can't be laying around sick for 2 weeks every 2 months.
Prayers and any advice is much appreciated! 🙏
Check out Strep Throat! You'll need Anti Biotics if it is!
No it's not strep, I've had that dozens of times, mostly when I was younger, and this isn't the same. Pretty sure it's just the next virus to go around, but it still sucks. Really wish I could have some penicillin though!
If you think it's bacterial, try oregano essential oil. It's more effective than any antibiotic out there. Look it up...but basically you can put a drop or two with olive oil in a capsule to take. (DON"T TAKE IT BY ITSELF. It needs to be diluted.) If it's viral, there's many essential oils with anti-viral properties, including the ones listed by 5dchesswatch. Clove essential oil is powerful. Even sucking on a clove would help.
You can also find it a caplet form good stuff
I only have ground cloves right now. Could I sprinkle some of that in some hot tea? Would that be useful at all?
Give it a try! I bet it would help some. Here's a link to Dr. Axe's page on clove use. https://draxe.com/nutrition/cloves-benefits/ He has a lot of good info within his website. Prayers for healing!
What's your vitamin D3 blood level? Mine was 21 ng/ml when I got "covid". I've been taking weekly cholecalciferol 25,000 IU to get it up to my target of 70 ng/ml. As someone else posted, it MUST be taken with magnesium, K2 and C. I also take zinc and other stuff but it's most important to maintain your vitamin D3 level if you want to avoid infections.
Haven't check it in some months, but it was finally normal and stable. It had been very low for years, and I've been taking 5,000 IU daily. I could probably take more but 5,000 seems to keep it stable without spiking it.
As long as "stable" means above 50 ng/ml and preferably 70.
(I'm currently at 49 and working on it.)
I had that a couple years ago,and just went to one of those quick clinics. They fixed me up in a few hours.
I had the same symptoms with flu like feelings and a very sore throat, and it was Strep Throat.
Antibiotics is the way,those quick clinics are great,much easier to get an appointment than my regular doctor.
