Although the this virus was man made.
Bats don’t get sick with virus and they believe that since they have the highest levels of melatonin has something to do with it.

bought from J.Crowe or on Amazon–I use the 5% solution–I add three droppers full to water and irrigate my gums with it using a plastic dental syringe [also on amazon] with a curved tip–The 2% I use to INSTANTLY cure canker sores whom I get a once or twice a year….once I had an infection–It was on the left side of my neck  a few inches below my ear–I can’t complete a course of antibiotics because after 3 or 3 days it spikes my tinnitus to an unbearable level–the infection looked like a small bill [but it wasn’t]–so every 1/2 hours I applied directly on the lump 2% lugpls with a Q-tip–The infection went away–hard to believe a topical application could cure such a  thing—I have heard that taking a few drops in water orally is good for cold or flu.

Any guidance on how long to keep using it?  (Say, twice a day). If nasal passages tolerate it (it’s not very pleasant) any reason not to continue for another week or two as preventative (or to keep killing any “germs” that might be there)?  Or is it too hard on the nasal passages if you don’t really need it?  The antiseptic mouthwash/gargle is easy; no reason to stop that.

Well it certainly can’t hurt starting treatment if you have it or not.
I do kind of regret not dodging it again because of the fever fatigue and body aches. I only had two meals in three days.
That doesn’t help energy either. I ordered liquid food just in case and drank one today. If the aches and pains continue I’ll take some ibuprofen which should help now that the fever is gone pretty much.
I have the melatonin but with already having fatigue I didn’t take it.
They need drive through tests cuz I can’t imaging people not feeling well standing on long lines. People just won’t go.
My daughter has to be tested twice a week and she came out negative. She started the IVM and vitamins right away.

thanks for posting the symptom profiles for delta and omicron.

i think i may be over the hump and on the downhill slope of omicron.  at least the symptoms fit the profile.  i’ve been doing daily c, d3, and zinc plus a weekly ivm @25 mg for several months (a year?  i didn’t mark it on the calendar when i started).

when i started having symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, moderate sore throat headache, and fatigue) i doubled up on the c, d, and zinc and bumped the ivm up to 35mg daily.  i also took tylenol SEVERE cold & flu (1/4 the recco dosage level) for relief from the symptoms, and for the expectorant.

symptoms peaked third day, about on a level with a common cold, and are now (6th day) fading to level of mild discomfort and dropping.

did i have omicron?  who the hell knows (or cares)?  maybe the next scheduled checkup, i’ll ask the doc to run an antibody scan.

Vote! Vote!

I’m not up to reading all of it but kinda preaching to the choir anyways.

ial symptoms may include, but are not limited to:
DELTA
Fever
Cough Fatigue/Malaise
Sore Throat Headache
Muscle or Body Aches Loss of Taste or Smell
OMICRON
Runny Nose
Sneezing
Fatigue – mild or severe Sore Throat
Headache
“Cold-like” symptoms
NOTE: The estimated incubation period for COVID-19 has long been 2-14 days with a median of 5 days, per the CDC.70 When the agency changed the quarantine period from 14 days to FIVE days on December 27, 2021—in the middle of the Omicron surge, injected or not, after being exposed or even after testing positive, with a few caveats—it wrote: “The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-COV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.”71, 72 The real motivation may be health care and airline worker shortages.73
2. Seek early and aggressive treatment—regardless of variant.
a. Even if your case feels “mild,” begin early and aggressive treatment.
b. Essential to stop viral replication, and the resulting body-wide inflammation and clotting.
c. Start early treatment no later than 7 days after first symptoms—the earlier, the better.
d. The virus replicates for 5-7 days (hasn’t been cultured after 8 days). — Dr. Urso, MD74
e. Others say viral replication lasts up to 10 days, and some say longer (see chart below).
f. “Treat first. Test later. Don’t wait for test results…Delay is what’s killing people.” — Dr.

Chalk this day up to “not as bad as it could have been” and was earlier in the day, but sure not the way I wanted to end the week.

Great story! You’ve sure worn a lot of hats!

Good thing you didn’t get stuck in Lodi!

All the best

You can consult your doctor on what temperature to treat. I personally with something potentially serious like this would try to hold it to 103. This one didn’t go that high but left me wanting to shed my cloths but resisted that. My temp is normally 97.6-8 instead of the 98.6 so if it’s 98.6 it’s really 99.6 to me and so on so I have to keep in mind. My grandson although his was creeping towards 102 was shedding his cloths and wanted the window open so he could get pneumonia next lol
When I retired I started having irregular sleeping patterns. I’m pretty sure because of the work involved I wasn’t tired anymore. A friend same thing happened. She tried the melatonin but it didn’t work for her. A good daily routine probably would help. Just not while recovering because it is Covid exercise aggravates it. You got to move around though clear any congestion to prevent pneumonia.
I kinda wanted to get this so I gave the protocol to my grandsons parents and they were still negative after a week but I didn’t take it as I should then started regretting it. I’m not having any trouble with sleep right now just the opposite.

Take 10mg of melatonin and two of the pain reliever pm tablets 30 minutes or more before bedtime. Relax in recliner until sleepy, then go to bed. Works great for me.

It seems to be working like the high to 21% interest rates of the 1970s. The high rates were sucking in money into bank accounts, making excess money harmless dead money not getting spent, and help to not drive up demand inflation. Inhibited spending on cars and houses.

Sure some stock market profits might be going into people buying extra houses they don’t need, driving those prices higher. But if they build and buy too many, like $145/bbl Oil, they flood and crash their own market. Remember $28/bb oil later on?

I head when Fla real estate get as high as NY real estate like it is lately, LOOK OUT BELOW!! LOL. Another thought, maybe there is massive legal and illegal immigration numbers the gov’t is not reporting would explain very high populations causing the need for all these houses and apartments, and or big Cities are getting emptied and flooding into surrounding areas.

Imagine Ghost Cities?? And dirt cheap prices? LOL.

Years ago I heard tried and reported here when you inhale say “sleep”, and when you exhale say “slumber.” A responder said it works good but he switched it to “Gold” inhale and “Silver” exhale.

Another method, just keep repeating…”Stop” on inhale and “Thinking” on exhale over and over. I guess they are mantra type things but work. Counting sheep requires too much thought. LOL

Another option over the counter Unisom, grandfathered in. But DON’T take the whole pill. Too strong. Cut it into 4 pieces. Take a piece hour or two before bed. If you take the whole pill the alarm clock wont wake you up and you feel hung over the next day. One half of a valium or one half of an ativan if you can get a prescription will work good too.

Naturally use sparingly on everything pill related so you don’t get immune, and they keep working.

NUMBER ONE REMEDY for everything is physical exorcise. A therapist friend told me everybody has problems because nobody really WORKS anymore.

Lots of good stuff today. Thanks!

needs a radical change if they was to age disease and pain free and escape the “medical loop”….there is an immediate change u could start today….go on a short term–3 day–modified fast of brown rice and miso soup–for 3 days u wouldn’t have organ system failure [lol]–u would be shocked how good u feel

Thanks to both.  I’ve got some melatonin.  Might try it.

Richard. Thanks, and maybe I will, but that’s too much to cope with right now. I don’t feel the need for lifestyle changes; just a way to get out of my head–very occasionally–when insomnia strikes. I can’t explain better now, and I need it today. A band-aid will do for now.

shitake as an immune system booster

 

This result earns shiitake mushrooms the right to be called a health-supportive food. But perhaps more importantly, beta-glucans also provide support for a wide variety of body systems, including our immune system, antioxidant system, and our endocrine system. Because beta-glucans can bind onto certain receptors on our immune cells, they can help support immune system function. These polysaccharides can also function as antioxidants and have been shown to have free radical scavenging activity. In addition, beta-glucan intake has been linked to better regulation of our blood sugar and insulin levels. What we are left with here is a category of nutrient intake—polysaccharides—that we don’t usually associate with such a wide range of potential health benefits. But research on shiitake mushrooms is convincing us to pay more attention to this carb-related group in shiitake and othe mushrooms.

 

SHITAKE MUSHROOMS

 

BTW—notice that no discussion is allowed about building up ones resistance and immune system through proper diet, herbs like echinacea, astragulus or elderberry extract—vit C-selenium—zinc—b-complex—colloidal silver—green tea extract-despite 100s of articles from PEER REVIEW journals showing their efficacy

 

I have all of the foregoing at home—I also have 2 cups of simple soup made from organic shitake mushrooms and water—which I blend after cooking for 5 minutes then allowing to cool down-

 

I add organic miso [I like sweet white or mellow white miso causa its mild taste]–never boil the miso—add after cooking when u blend—when reheating only bring to a simmer soze not to kill the beneficial bacteria]

 

What’s New and Beneficial about Shiitake Mushrooms

 

• A variety of different studies on the health benefits of shiitake mushrooms have converged on a special group of carbohydrate-related molecules called glucans. Glucans are polysaccharides (structures comprised of linked sugars) that are found in many different foods. However, shiitake mushrooms are unusual in containing not only a large amount of total glucans but also a large amount of one specific glucan called beta-glucan. Because these glucans cannot be broken down by enzymes in our digestive tract, they pass undigested all the way through to our large intestine where they help support growth of desirable bacteria in our digestive tract. This result earns shiitake mushrooms the right to be called a health-supportive food. But perhaps more importantly, beta-glucans also provide support for a wide variety of body systems, including our immune system, antioxidant system, and our endocrine system. Because beta-glucans can bind onto certain receptors on our immune cells, they can help support immune system function. These polysaccharides can also function as antioxidants and have been shown to have free radical scavenging activity. In addition, beta-glucan intake has been linked to better regulation of our blood sugar and insulin levels. What we are left with here is a category of nutrient intake—polysaccharides—that we don’t usually associate with such a wide range of potential health benefits. But research on shiitake mushrooms is convincing us to pay more attention to this carb-related group in shiitake and othe mushrooms.

 

• New research has shown that a relatively small daily amount of dried shiitake mushroom (5 grams of dried mushroom, which is the equivalent of 1-ounce fresh mushroom or less than one large shiitake mushroom) can provide measurable anti-inflammatory benefits. This finding is great news for anyone who is interested in bringing small amounts of shiitake mushrooms into his or her diet, without necessarily making it any sort of dietary focus. Consumption of these small amounts of shiitake mushroom by 50 study participants lowered blood levels of the inflammatory messaging molecule MIP-1alpha (macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha) and increased blood levels of anti-inflammatory molecules including interleukins 4, 10, and 1alpha (IL-4, IL-10, and IL-1a). This study outcome is not surprising since shiitake mushrooms have an extensive track record as an anti-inflammatory food. But it is great to see these benefits coming from dietary intake of shiitake mushrooms in a whole food form, and more importantly, in a very “do-able” intake amount. Just how easy would it be to consume this amount of shiitake mushrooms? In our World’s Healthiest Foods Meal Plan, we include 3/4 cup of fresh sliced and sautéed shiitake mushrooms in our Day 3 dinner alone. All by itself, this amount comes close to matching the shiitake mushroom intake that provided participants with these anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Researchers are getting closer and closer to understanding the biotin content of shiitake mushrooms, and this advance in understanding should eventually pay real dividends for our health. At WHFoods, we don’t provide any data values for biotin in shiitake mushrooms (or in crimini mushrooms) due to the scientific difficulties in measuring biotin levels. However, we are confident that shiitake and most other commonly eaten mushrooms provide very valuable amounts of biotin! So we are excited to see new studies about proteins in shiitake mushrooms called lentiavidins. You might recognize the “avidins” part of this name from research on egg whites. Avidins are egg-white proteins that can bind together with biotin. In the case of shiitake, researchers have added the designation “lenti”—from the shiitake genus Lentinula—to come up with the new protein name, “lentiavidins.” Thanks to recent research, we now know that lentiavidins are unique proteins in shiitake mushrooms that can bind together with biotin. What we don’t know is how these lentiavidins affect the retention of biotin in shiitake or the bioavailability of biotin from shiitake. But researchers are getting closer to answers here, and we view this research as providing additional evidence about the role of shiitake mushrooms are likely to play in providing us with important amounts of this B-complex vitamin.
• At WHFoods, shiitake mushrooms are our 4th best source of copper. (Our top three sources for this antioxidant mineral are sesame seeds, cashew nuts, and soybeans.) Researchers now know that a key enzyme found in shiitake mushrooms—called laccase—requires four atoms of copper to function properly. As a result of its laccase enzyme content, shiitake provides us with 650 micrograms of copper (0.65 milligrams) in a serving size of ½ cup cooked. Since our WHFoods recommended daily intake level for copper is 900 micrograms (0.9 milligrams), about 72% of daily copper intake can be obtained from a single serving of shiitake mushrooms.
• We are seeing an increasing level of research interest in one unique alkaloid found in shiitake mushrooms, namely, eritadenine. When compared to commonly eaten mushrooms like crimini and reishi, shiitake mushrooms appears to contain significantly higher amounts of eritadenine. Much of the interest in this phytonutrient has been focused on its ability to inhibit activity of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Because ACE activity results in a constricting of our blood vessels, inhibition of ACE can help prevent unwanted blood vessel constriction. By preventing unwanted constriction, our blood vessels can keep a wider diameter and this wider diameter allows the pressure on our blood to stay within a normal range. In short: what we are looking at here is a unique nutrient in shiitake mushrooms that appears to increase our chances for better blood pressure regulation.
