I Caught The Coof

[pronstar]

I think more folks should consider those things that seem to prevent bad outcomes:

Don’t be deficient in vitamins, especially D

Get healthy

Lose weight

Get in shape

Get into the best fighting shape you can.
Not just for covid, but for quality of life in general

So then just say "time is of the essence, recommend you get monoclonal ASAP".

if you followed the thread you would see I was responding to Sam7sf.

Olive leaf?

This is a new one for me.

I looked it up and apparently it cures almost everything including fallen arches and heartbreak of psiorisis. Ok, I can't spell it, but it's that skin nasty...

I keed, I keed.

So, what dosage for covid prevention?

Anyone, anyone...Bueller, Bueller?

I woke up this morning feeling more sore than usual - sore in my damn fingers and palms, and a little congested. The congestion I wrote off to allergies, pretty typical for me. But the soreness was unexplainable, as I haven't had *that* much physical exertion yesterday. We had two of the DIY tests in the cupboard, one of our friend's daughters was diagnosed last week with The Coof - so everyone in our circle got tested. I tested negative last week.

I took the damn test to rule out the Rona, just in case - and the damn thing came back positive. I scheduled a test with Walgreens tomorrow to confirm it.

I used the Abbott brand BinaxNOW test.

I've been taking vitamins regularly - I'm doing Vit B complex, C, D3, Potassium (I take it regularly for leg pain anyway), Zinc, plus calcium, and Glucosamine Condroiton (to help with joints) - I'd add NAC to the mix, but can't find it locally. You can barely find ANY vitamins locally.

So far I just feel like I was out in the hot sun for too long. Going to be taking it easy, maintaining fluid & food intake, saying my prayers like a good boy, and trying not to go crazy. Had to get the wife from work and the kiddo from school for impromptu quarantine.

Glad we haven't started the Coof Camps here in the US, unlike our convict-descended cousins in Australia.

That sucks

Glycyrrhizin in licorice root neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 in vitro by inhibiting the main protease Mpro

In a recent bioRxiv* preprint paper, researchers from Germany analyzed aqueous licorice root extract for its neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. They identified glycyrrhizin, the primary active ingredient in the root, and revealed the underlying mechanism of viral neutralization.

Antiviral and Antitumor Activity of Licorice Root Extracts - PubMed

The present study suggests that water and alkaline extracts of licorice root exert different mechanisms of actions against these two viruses. Physicochemical properties, rather than the category of compounds, may be important in determining their anti-HSV activity.

There are other benefits to both extracts.

Back in my bodybuilding days, we took a lot of supplements (legal and otherwise). At any rate, a buddy swore he often pooped-out intact vitamin capsules.

I’m good Lol. Tannins are awesome. Another example of how I use them is say I get a stomach virus or need to stop throwing up. I’ll get frozen organic black berries and put a handful (for you that’s like the whole bag) into a cup of cold water. Let sit for 15-20 minutes until you see the water turn color from the tannins and they need to be frozen so the ice lifts those tannins from the berry. Drink slow and repeat as needed. It stops a stomach bug in its tracks.

Day Five - I woke up feeling pretty good this morning, all things considered. It was the first morning since Tuesday where my pain level was approaching my typical level of chronic pain, instead of the more excruciating pain I have been in. Sinus congestion was almost gone BUT it was replaced by a lot of mucous leaking into my throat, causing more coughing (productive, not dry). Otherwise I feel pretty great.

Wife and I went to the infusion clinic in The Woodlands this morning. The nurse who put my IV in was the best I've experienced, I didn't feel a thing, unlike other times I've had to have IV's or blood draws. The IV drip lasts about 20-30 minutes, then we had to sit for an hour for monitoring for side effects before going home.

The nurse was surprised how good my blood pressure was, because its on the lower side. Its always on the lower side, which you wouldn't think a 6'4" fat guy pushing 300 lbs would have - but my average BP during treatment was 116 / 64.

Knock on wood, but so far, no side effects from the infusion.

I think I was on the mend this morning, hopefully this infusion just kicks that into higher gear and I'll be back to 100% soon. Going to continue the vitamin / herb treatment, as it certainly seemed to help (and certainly did not hurt)

It is great news that y'all are on-the-mend!

Here's praying he doesn't get it bad and is over it quick!


Day six - the only symptom I seem to have left if the mucous draining into my throat and associated cough. My pain levels feel normal this morning. I don't have any other symptoms. I'd reeeally love it if the mucous dries up - I think I'm going to try taking one of my allergy pills to see if that'll help that symptom.

Mucinex DM and a benadryl should do it
