Slow COVID Recovery?

 

Slow COVID Recovery?

Have you ever, in your life, met anyone who has never had a Cold? Anyone who has never had the flu? That is because everyone will get these common ailments. And they will recover unless, of course, their immune system is severely compromised due to previous existing problems. The same is true for COVID. The reality is EVERYONE will get it. This is why it is important to prepare your body and immune system to withstand this illness which can easily be defended against IF you take the proper measures and steps that are being set forth by honest medical experts and researchers rather than adhering the governmental agencies and advisors who seem to be actively disregarding sound data and peer reviewed published research.

The good news is that once you’ve gotten and recovered from this illness, you’ve got what is called Natural Immunity. Anyone and everyone who has recovered has what is described by medical experts as robust and durable antibodies and immunity against future infection. In fact, a recent study from Israel examining over 700,000 people who have recovered from covid have shown them to be up to 13 times less likely to get the delta variant than those who are fully vaccinated.

Of course, we should follow steps to protect ourselves and others from infection, but it is equally important to prepare ourselves in the event of exposure and illness. As more and more people have gotten covid, many are experiencing lingering symptoms and problems as a result of their illness. As follows are some recommendations that may be helpful. Additionally some important things to consider if you or a loved one become ill.

Post COVID Care

The degree or the intensity of your bout with COVID will determine the lingering symptoms you may experience after your recovery from this illness. The intensity of the infection, pre-existing conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, pre-existing respiratory problems such as smoking or pneumonia, your age, the amount of stress (situation and people) in your life at the time. Also how deep did the infection go into your lungs. Was there any scarring? The integrity of your immune system as a result of other diseases such as cancer, or other chronic conditions can also determine if you have lingering issues.

Understand that the amount of stress in your life is an important factor. The less stress, the faster the recovery. All covid symptoms are caused by the person's own immune system trying to overcome the effects of the illness while you are sick. The residual symptoms are also coming from the person's own immune system. Many of these symptoms are a result of cytokines (an immune response) so the focus must be on building and strengthening the immune system.

Symptoms after recovery from your initial illness

Fatigue Shortness of breath Cough Joint Pain

Chest Pain Depression Headache Fever

Loss of taste and/or smell Heart pounding or palpitations (aFib)

Here are some specific recommendations

Fatigue: Ashwagandha - helps to strengthen the adrenals - weakened adrenal glands are part of what causes a slow recovery. Also get on Drenamin (3 tablets thrice day) from Standard Process

Chest Pain, Shortness of Breath & Cough: Pneumotrophin PMG from Standard Process (3 tablets twice daily), also consider Garlic Forte (1 twice daily).

Joint Pain: Turmeric combined with fenugreek - our 3 Kings Formula (3 capsules twice daily) or Turmeric Forte (1 tablet twice daily) from Standard Process.

Depression: take Vitamin D3 (10,000 IU/day) or Standard Process Cataplex D (3 tablets thrice daily) & Cataplex F (2/day). Vitamin D will drop inflammation so you will instantly feel better.

Headache: increase sodium - use sea salt (himalayan is best)  Try this Mineral Replacement Drink (1/2 tsp sea salt, 3 Tbsp honey to 1 quart water – you may also add lemon or orange juice for flavor).

Fever (that comes and goes): - Calcium Lactate (Standard Process) especially if someone is younger (10 tablets per day)

Loss of Taste/Smell: Zinc (100-200mg/day), or Zinc Chelate (4 per day) from Standard Process and Cataplex B12 (3/day).

Heart Pounding or palpitations: Cataplex B Core (3-4/day) from Standard Process, and Potassium found in Avocados, sweet potatoes, bananas

Blood Clots: Cyruta plus (6-9 per day) from Standard Process, 3 Kings (6-9/day) or Turmeric Forte (2/day)

You need to sweat more (hot shower, hot bath, sauna) this will speed up the recovery time. But remember to keep very well hydrated.

Getting rid of the symptoms of a fever too quickly can prolong the infection. The more medications you take during the infection may actually slow your recovery. For example, tylenol will reduce the fever, but prolong the illness. Taking Calcium Lactate instead to strengthen the immune system will naturally reduce the fever and quicken the recovery.

Residual ongoing symptoms - can last months, so it is important to understand that you need to rebuild your immune system and be patient and keep taking the supplements until you are healthy, strong and back to better than normal.

Open your windows - You need fresh air. Get some direct sunshine for the natural Vitamin D. Take frequent naps - try to get as much sleep as possible; your body heals while you are sleeping. Alcohol and Sugar will set you back if consumed while you are trying to recover. Avoid both.

Intermittent fasting can help - skip breakfast and no snacks - follow LAW Diet by focusing on whole natural foods

ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar): 1 Tbsp in water 2x/day - it will help clean up the damaged tissues and cells Cordyceps (a fungus) will help you pull out of many of these symptoms.

Hospital Care

If you are sick enough to go to the hospital emergency room with COVID -  Call ahead and let them know you are coming - Request or have your doctor request that you want Monoclonal Antibody treatment known as REGENERON. This has proven to be highly effective. All hospitals have it but you need to request it. This is given slowly with a one hour IV. Taken too fast can overwhelm the immune response.  If admitted to the hospital it is very important to demand full dose anticoagulation medication while in the hospital. Long term problems are a result of blood clots so it makes sense to use anticoagulants - but you may need to insist on it. For the Delta Variant of COVID, studies are showing that Hydroxychloroquine is proving to be more effective than Ivermectin. If your primary doctor will not work with COVID patients, you can schedule with a medical doctor through https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/  These doctors are willing to get patients medicines that work and do not follow the dictates of governmental representatives.

General Infection Prevention

Listerine mouthwash: (use the Original yellow colored liquid) - swish and spit daily for oral hygiene (don’t swallow the stuff) Nasal Lavage: (neti pot rinsing) can also be done daily Vitamin C: 3000mg ascorbic acid (not recommended for long term) or 500mg/day whole food vitamin C or Standard Process Cataplex C (9/day) Vitamin D3: (3-5000IU/day) or Standard Process Cataplex D (9/day) and Cataplex F (2/day). Zinc: 50 mg/day

Please understand that issue may not be if you get COVID but when. Prepare your immune system by taking care of your health. And actively take the nutrients and supplements that will allow your body to appropriately fight to get and stay healthy.

Concerned About COVID?

I have wrestled with the controversies surrounding the COVID pandemic since it first began. I am concerned how quickly the politics overshadowed how things are handled rather than seeking for the medical answers in the treatment and management of this illness. Always in the past, medical practitioners on the frontlines working with patients would come together sharing treatment protocols and ideas to find working solutions. This happened with AIDS, Hepatitis C and many other illnesses. However, in the world of COVID, governments and social media have quickly shouted down suggestions of alternative and innovative drugs or therapies. All focus was and still is on vaccination, and treatment (particularly early treatment) is virtually non-existent as a medical option. Typically, when a person receives a positive diagnosis of COVID, they are sent home. Period. Go home and see what happens. And if you go to the hospital because of difficulty breathing, you may be told to go back home because you’re not quite bad enough to be admitted, yet. No treatment or suggestions for treatment are offered.

Medically there are proven treatment options that are safe, inexpensive and effective and it is estimated that 85% of all hospitalizations would and should be unnecessary. This means that if our government would have allowed early treatment the vast majority of COVID deaths could have been avoided. The purpose of this paper however is not to discuss the behavior and motives behind what is driving our society and government, but share what I have come to understand of how we can best deal with COVID individually and as families.

Stages of COVID (if untreated)

The illness known as COVID follows very predictable phases. Initially the patient will feel one or more of the following symptoms: fever, sore throat, extreme fatigue, body aches, nasal stuffiness, loss of smell and/or taste, nausea, diarrhea, and lack of appetite. This is considered the viral stage and is often misinterpreted by many as “just a cold or sinus infection”. As a result many patients do nothing expecting it to pass as per their experience with “the common cold”.

If left untreated, usually within 5 to 7 days, the lungs will become affected and the patient will begin coughing and have difficulty breathing. This is the result of the immune response known as a Cytokine Storm.

If left untreated, the illness progresses to the thrombosis phase which manifests as tiny blood clots on both the arterial and venous side of the circulatory system. This is often when someone presents themself to the hospital. By now the patient is in serious trouble.

The key to preventing all of this is early treatment. When the patient begins immediately or very soon to follow any one of the outlined protective and restorative protocols, the symptoms can quickly resolve and studies suggest that 85% of patients do not end up in the hospital.

Here’s what we suggest. As soon as you or someone you know experiences any symptom or exposure to what may be COVID, whether you have been vaccinated or not, we urge you to begin one or more of the following treatment recommendations. Remember, it is much easier to turn this condition around early than by delaying and risking the respiratory and blood clotting phases of the illness.

NO Single treatment/drug/supplement works alone - therapeutics must be combined.

Begin with Zinc Zinc Sulfate 220 mg by mouth once daily for 5 to 30 days also get plenty of fresh air (and reduce risk of reinoculation) or 5 zinc lozenges per day. Standard Process Supplements Zinc Chelate - 2 per day

Viral Phase

Fever, sore throat, extreme fatigue, body aches, nasal stuffiness,  loss of smell and/or taste, nausea, diarrhea, and lack of appetite

Pharmaceuticals Take Antiviral agents for 5 to 30 days  (Three protocols as recommended by Peter McCullough, MD)

Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg 2x/day Azithromycin 250 mg 2x/day Doxycycline 100 mg 2x/day

Ivermectin 6-12 mg/day for 1-3 days   Azithromycin 250 mg 2x/day Doxycycline 100 mg 2x/day

Favipiravir 600 mg 2x/day Azithromycin 250 mg 2x/day Doxycycline 100 mg 2x/day

Herbs  Sage, organo, fennel, garlic, lemon balm, peppermint, rosemary, echinacea, elderberry, licorice, astragalus, ginger, ginseng, dandelion Herbal Formulas Anti-Plague Syrup 1 Tbsp every waking hour Herbal Gold - 2 dropperfuls (½ tsp) 5 times daily Immune Syrup 1 teaspoon 5 times daily Other Helps Sore Throat - Oil Pulling - this really helps Smart Water - to replace fluids and electrolytes to avoid dehydration

Supplements Vitamin C - Ascorbic Acid powder 1 tsp = 5 grams taken 4 times daily - I actually prefer a whole food vitamin C rather than ascorbic acid - but for a short term therapy this will drive the body’s chemistry and can be very effective. Vitamin D3 10,000IU daily Zinc 75mg Standard Process Supplements Immuplex 3 2x/day Garlic Forte 2 bid St. John’s Wort 1.8g 1 3x/day Ferrofood 2/day

Cytokine Storm Phase

Respiratory Symptoms - cough or difficulty breathing or after 5 days of symptoms

Pharmaceuticals Prednisone 1 mg/kg daily for 5 days +/- taper  +/- Colchicine 0.6 mg daily Herbs Melatonin, ginger, cinnamon, marjoram, andrographis, garlic, turmeric, clove, oregano, thyme, quercetin (broccoli)

Herbal Formulas 3 Kings 3-4 capsule 3x/day Garden Tonic 1 tsp 5 times daily Standard Process Supplements Pneumotrophin 6/day on an empty stomach Cataplex E2 - 8/day to increase blood oxygen Other Helps Oil Pulling for Mucus or Phlegm - really helps

Thrombotic - Micro-blood clotting Phase

Chest heaviness, Shortness of Breath, Low blood oxygen saturation, Formation of systemic thrombosis

Pharmaceuticals Aspirin 325 mg per day +/- Low -Molecular weight heparin or Apixaban, Rivaroxaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban in standard doses (5-30 days) Herbs Turmeric, garlic, berberine (barberry, goldenseal), ginger

Herbal Formulas 3 Kings 3-4 capsules 3x/day Herbal Gold 1 tsp 3-5x/day Standard Process Supplements Cyruta Plus 4 tablets 3x/day Phosfood Liquid 1 dropper 3x/day Berberine Active 2 tablets 2x/day Cataplex C 3 tablets 2x/day Cataplex D 3 tablets 2x/day

Those who have recovered from COVID are said to have “complete and durable immunity” with strong antibodies against the illness long term. The antibodies as a result of vaccination begin to diminish between 3 to 6 months. Which is why there is and will be a push for booster shots.

According to Dr Peter McCullough, there can be 85% reduction in hospitalizations and deaths if immediate treatment begins when there is a sick patient. DON’T WAIT. The issue is not whether some have been vaccinated or not. The critical issue is that anyone who gets sick should take IMMEDIATE action to treat the virus, reduce the effects of the cytokine immune response and protect against blood clots or thrombosis. You can accomplish this through drugs prescribed by a medical doctor or you can accomplish this through natural means. Our goal is to prevent hospitalization and death, not argue who is right or wrong about vax or anti-vax. Honestly, none of these treatment recommendations are risky and even if you don’t have an illness, they can only help and not hurt.
