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.
