Dealing with Covid

[nw_hunter]

They say you have either had covid or will get it.
While dealing with another COPD flairup, wouldn't you know it, Covid shows up. My Dr. suggested this treatment, and said I should start feeling better in 12 hrs. She was right.Big diffrence. I still don't feel good, but so much better. Just like a little head cold now, with no taste. Has anyone else on the forum had this infussion treatment.

A good friend of mine got the treatment, and he said it helped a good bit.  Not sure what the guidelines are now for you being able to get the treatment, but when my friend got it, you had to be a certain age, and/or have other ailments. 

There is doctor in my area who treats covid with ivermectin, and maybe steroids. Everyone I know that as gone to her said they were feeling a lot better in two days.

Several of my family members have had the treatment with good results.

Glad to hear you're doing better.

Thanks! Yea, The Dr I saw said they had the ivermectin available, but she had better results with the infusion. Feeling much better with the head and body aches about gone.

Yeah, my wife had that infusion, and she was much better in 24 hours.  That should be available for everyone and this would not even be a thing...  Instead they are still insisting that we get the useless shot...

  Passing on a tip..take it or trash it..I Don't want to debate.

   My so was hired to do videography coverage for a documentary on past Friday.  It was a conclave of well known
   Conservatives, Christians and medical people.

  The political people were some of the highest rollers in conservative circles, including close associates to Pres
  Trump.  They were folks including advisers, former generals etc..virtually all who had suffered for their association with him.
  What I want to share is from the medical folks, primarily a doctor well versed on Covid.

  During a break of the doings, my son spoke with one of the doctors who shared the platform.  My son explained that since he experienced Covid, his senses of taste and smell have gone haywire, and he wondered what he could do about it.

  The doctor said he should ignore a bit of previous medical advice.  In their studies, they found that tobacco
     smokers rarely suffered this after-effect.
   Ironically, nicotine seems to be the answer.  My son doesn't use tobacco... but he does not have to start smoking either.
   Th doctor said he can chew that chewing gum that helps break the smoking habit, because it contains a small
    amount of nicotine. Or he could even use the patch that people use to break the smoking habit.

     The Doc said, a few days use should take care of the problem.
 
   I only offer this in an attempt to pass on what the doctor said..and don't care to debate the issue.

  You can Take it or trash it !

My BIL got it when it first came around.  He had the pneumonia symptoms.  He got some hydroxy and zinc and took it and 3 days later he was out building his deck.  It actually worked.  Same with some people who have taken ivermectin. 

My wife and I have been taking supplements of vitamin D3 and zinc every day since we found out about it.  So far, thank goodness no covid.  My brothers wife got it and he never did.  His son wife got it and his son never did.  Hope we both have the immunity.  My brother was going to get a heart stint.  His step daughter got covid and he was exposed.  They said he tested positive and he had to wait about 2 weeks to get his stint.  He never had the first symptom.  Weird disease.

There is a new disease in China that comes from a shrew going around.  Don't know if it is easily spread or not. 

There was the first case of polio in New York city recently.  The news is more concerned about monkey pox spread by gay men instead.  All people who have gotten monkey pox have survived but with scars.  Polio is bad and can kill and cripple.  We quit vaccinating for polio in the 1970's because we though we killed it off.  Same with small pox.  Those who have had the small pox vaccination are immune to monkey pox or so they say.

Old full DNA vaccines actually worked unlike the RNA covid vaccine.

Thanks, Ironglow, I owe you one!  I haven't been able to smell much since last Nov when I got covid, only lost it for a week or so but have had very faint ability to smell since.  I figured I would try the nicotine gum thing and by God it worked!  First Piece I chewed I had it in too long and since I quit tobacco about 25 years ago it about spun my head off.  Chewed a piece a day for about 3 days and then kinda forgot about it and maybe had one every few days.  The other day I started noticing smells that I haven't picked up in over a year - making coffee, the smell of the morning, cut grass, etc!  I'm sooo happy!
