Astro: have you seen this?

The end of the PDF has the specific formulations he suggests.

Kudzu is in there, he just uses the scientific name.

Cordyceps is in there, and I believe that's the only mushroom.

Make sure to get "Chinese skullcap", and not the lateriflora type.

Isatis is something he also suggests using, although it was left out of the formulations in the PDF.

I bought the formulations from sagewomanherbs.com. Although they are currently out of stock, they will be restocked soon. There are other online apothecaries that may still have stock. In addition to the tincture formulations, I bought a pound of dried boneset for making tea.

running - at some point you reach your limit and just go .. "ok this is me now" and accept it.

Then things start to change very slowly and your newly gained freedom to do things again change your perspective.

Its all perceptive. The "health clueless" at my work see my life as complicated from my choice of healthy living and "limited" (their words) eating choices. They have no idea of the health abyss where I came from - I dont talk of my past lyme at work.

A little off, but related: I'm betting many old people (the very old) have experienced this "acceptance" since life can throw out major obstacles at any given moment. I think of that on Memorial day at the cemetery, especially those who experienced war and its after math on the human body. Being the first in four generations that didnt have shoot or be shot at for my country,.... I'm thankful for that.

Knew it was out there didnt read it till now, thanks. Found two brands of some leftover Cordyceps in my "suppliment junkyard".

Wish I trusted Chinese Skullcap with my wacky liver that seems to be a little better now. Might use in last case senerio if "it" happens.

Alberta is closing the schools for the rest of the year!!

I think BC will also.

Grocery shopping was interesting, hoarders buying out all meat, canned goods, bottled water and paper goods.

As if their water source will be contaminated or shut off lol. Lots of wells around me still, what are these people thinking?

Our Prime Minister just announced he's closing the border to non citizens - except for the U.S.

We have a ferry that goes from Seattle to Victoria (BC) a few times a day..... I think Seattle is a 'hot spot' for Corona.
Our son lives in Victoria..... and has mild asthma.....I'm more worried about him than myself and husband.

As for test kits, these are something new that needs to be produced. It's not as if there are plenty of these just sitting around somewhere.

I still have a bottle of Plaquenil kicking around from 3 years ago, wonder if it's still has any strength left?

Preliminary reports from Japan and France suggest that hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is effective:

I did go shopping yesterday and bought more than usual -
We’ve been told to limit our interactions with people... stay home.
To do that we need to stockpile a certain amount of food/necessities.
Not hoarding ... but still doing our part to not get sick and proliferate this virus.

And toilet paper is the least of my concerns!! I can think of many substitutes if needed. Lol

lucky canadians ! they're gunna give tiny checks here ...

is there any documentation on the efficacy of plaquinil? will other antimalarials be effective i wonder

google: coronavirus france plaquenil

Some people cannot understand exceptional, once in a lifetime circumstance. It's that simple. They are not equipped to deal with the reality of it. That is what I see with this virus, and I have seen it one other time in my life.

10 years ago, we had a 100 year rain (flood) here around Atlanta. It rained hard for weeks, and creeks, lakes, rivers - everything flooded, and dry areas 200 yards wide became raging rivers.

I was a newspaper reporter and went out getting pictures and talking with people. When I got to an area of road next to a lake, a policeman I knew was there, and the lake was starting to come over the banks. Then it came over, and he asked me, because the police were overwhelmed, to drive back up the hill and let people know they could not get through because, at that point, the road was flooded by a raging torrent four feet deep.

When I got to the intersection to stop people, I blocked the lane allowing them to drive down the hill where they would have not been allowed to cross because of the danger, not to mention it was impassable. I got out in the pouring rain and let the first person know she would not be able to go down the hill because of the situation and the police would stop them . She told me "I have to go that way and you can't stop me." I told her to go ahead.

Out of about 50 vehicles, four people told me I couldn't stop them, and I agreed. "Go ahead," I said to each. An hour later, they all slowly came back up the hill.

Most people understand we are in a global, once in a lifetime (hopefully) point in time. But there are those who cannot and will never be able to cope with anything out of the norm. They also look for someone to blame.

Having Lyme for so long has made this much more understandable for me. Fact is, my life is not that much different now than it was two weeks ago. This is not minimizing the impact of COVID-19, but pointing out we are in uncharted territory and learning as we go, as fast as we can.

Answers are evolving and changing each day, but that is to be expected with something so new. I just thank God we have people who are dedicated to finding an answer as soon as possible. All that matters is finding an answer to a miserable situation. Just my thoughts.
