Just finished recovering from covid. This was my third time having it, supposedly. I'm also a paramedic and I've been learning about this thing since day 1. There's a lot I don't know but I've figured a few things out.
Keeping in mind that I am not a doctor and that this in no way constitutes medical advice and that you are implementing any and all of these ideas at your own risk, here's a few things I've learned in my battles:
-covid never presents the same way for the same person twice
-aggressive, early treatment is key
-once you test positive or are convinced you have it, take a massive loading dose of vitamin D, somewhere in the range of 1000 units per kg and then reduce to 10 units per kilogram daily
-100mg of zinc daily - every drug that's effective against covid is modulated by zinc
-1-2 g C daily, normal doses of B complex and E - you need all the help you can get from antioxidants and vitamins
-30mg X2 of pseudoephed every 4 hours except before bed
-1 Mucinex every 12 hours
-for severe respiratory symptoms, you can inhale Flonase nasal spray (load into a nebulizer if you have one)
-if you don't have a nebulizer, buy one - take breathing treatments of Hydrogen Peroxide. Research this first. Dosing depends on the concentration you buy.
-buy some regular, brand name Listerine, a neti pot, and some distilled water. Gargle and swish several times and then use distilled water and the saline packets included to mix saline for your neti pot and rinse your nostrils out in both directions. No joke, the gargle and nasal rinse alone can drastically shorten the duration of the illness and may prevent it altogether if you're doing it prophylactically.
-last but not least, NSAIDs: alternate between Tylenol and ibuprofen/aleve every 4 hours, taking twice the adult dose. If you've had covid before or had the vaccine, you should probably be taking at least 1 (325mg) adult aspirin daily. This isn't a joke. My dad currently has DVTs from his second time with covid. He would probably be dead if he hadn't been talking aspirin.
-DO NOT TAKE THESE EXPERIMENTAL ANTI-COVID DRUGS. Everything I mention here has a safety record going back decades and the dosing parameters and interactions are very clearly established. Most of the experimental anti-covid drugs are EUA licensed, just like the experimental vaccines.
If you have a doctor who is actually in the business of treating covid, request the following:
-200mg hydroxychloroquine in morning and at bedtime
-1 Z Pack taken as directed
-Ivermectin (if you're using horse dewormer, please research the correct dosing first)
-steroid shot (solumedrol or dexamethasone) or a course of oral steroids
-Albuterol inhaler - 2 puffs every 4 hours except before bed
-Advair inhaler - every 12 hours
Most of what I listed is over the counter but the HCQ + AZT or IVM is what seems to really turn the tables. The earlier, the better. IVM in particular binds so aggressively to the ACE2 receptor (which is the target of SARS-COV-2) that it can block or even displace the virus and may even preemptively bind to the spike protein, effectively neutralizing it.
If you're suffering from long covid or even spike protein syndrome post-vaccine, IVM in particular holds a lot of promise for resolving these issues but I've heard of people having good results with HCQ + AZT as well.
The good news is almost anyone can treat this at home, assuming they have a Tractor Supply or other country store nearby where they can get horse dewormer (ivermectin).
The only four things in my list you need a doctor for are HCQ, AZT, steroids, and inhalers. Keep in mind, these are very effective and very cheap treatments for covid so, if you have a good doc, don't hesitate to get these. If your doc won't prescribe them, do what you can without him and start looking for a new doc. You can probably just call the receptionist and directly ask if their doctor has a problem with prescribing HCQ for covid.
Keep in mind, the CDC, FDA, WHO etc still have no treatment protocols for preventing hospitalization and death. Vaccination is their only recommendation plus whatever garbage antiviral they're pedaling. Most urgent cares won't help you. Most hospitals won't help you. There are some that will but you'd have to be pretty lucky to find one and they're likely to be a small hospital with no affiliation to a larger network. No major hospital system has a treatment protocol for preventing covid hospitalizations and deaths.
The people who are most likely to help you are independent physicians running their own clinics, usually with a small staff of PAs to help with routine care. Large physicians groups and hospital-affiliated clinics will conform to the CDC et al protocol of doing nothing until you have severe covid and then starting treatment when they're least likely to prevent you from dying. This protocol is wonderful at driving up the case death rate and selling vaccines since, well, vaccines are the only thing they recommend. Unfortunately for those being treated by providers who follow this protocol, A VACCINE IS NOT A TREATMENT.
One final note, monoclonal antibodies do work but they're increasingly hard to get, some have been pulled from the market, and they're insanely expensive. Use them if you can get them/afford them but be aware that you might be paying a fortune.
I have a lot more to say concerning the vaccine but I'm confident that anyone actually interested in treating/being treated for covid could use this as a reference to guide their research and develop their own plan.
