It seems like it will be 50 %+ in person when I'm starting school in 3 weeks from now, and then 100 % in November. I'm unvaccinated, people in the age 18-29 are only at 12 % with 2 doses, almost no one are using masks. 50 people in quite small classrooms with poor ventilation…………

I was thinking of maybe getting vaccinated at the end of September/October but with this, it seems like it's very likely that I will get Covid before that. I wouldn’t be surprised if they change to distance teaching after a while, but I have to prepare for it being in person.

Supplements: magnesium, zinc, vitamin d, vitamin c, selenium, fish oil, sea hawthorn, quercetin, melatonin.

I had planned to decrease things that help with the immune system like earting, IR-sauna, low-level laser therapy as I will have less time, but not that sure anymore.

I think I take the most important supplements, and maybe I can drop sauna too 3 times a week. Low-level laser therapy I can do when working, and earthing I can do indoors when eating if I don’t have time during the day/it's raining. For the moment I work hard on my sleep that is very important for the immune system.
And take a lot of Argentyn 23(silver) and Oil of oregano, especially after I have been to school. Maybe skip some lessons and just read in the book instead. I will be wearing a mask indoors.

What are the best to take if I get symptoms? I have Astragalus, Andrographis, Samento, and Japanese knotweed also at home.
Anything else I should think about?

I got covid last year, but when the delta variant started spreading, I got that too. It seems to be able to evade antibodies from the original strain, and from vaccines based on that.

I treated it with mepron, which is quite effective at inhibiting viral replication as long as I take it every day, but covid is a really difficult infection to eliminate completely and I had to treat for over a month because it kept relapsing when I stopped the mepron.

As for herbal treatments, there is some in vitro evidence that resveratrol can inhibit viral replication, but there is a problem of oral bioavailability, so I dunno how well japanese knotweed would work.

Why not just get the vaccine? Even if it doesnt completely stop transmission of delta, it will reduce the odds of contracting it, and will significantly reduce the odds of severe sickness. This seems like a much easier decision now that this thing is surging again.

For symptoms, it sounds like the best natural supplements you could take are Quercetin or ECGC with Zinc, NAC, Glutathione, Vitamin D, Vitamin C....there may be more but not coming to mind. If you head it off early, I would think you'll do fine with this. Anything anti-inflammatory and immune boosting would probably be of help.
Posted 8/9/2021 1:12 PM (GMT 0)
Thanks, I have NAC also so that is good.

"Why not just get the vaccine?"
I'm not taking it this month as I'm focusing on a new tick bite. I don’t want to take it just as school starts, so the earliest is at the end of September. Then add 6 weeks for taking a second dose and a waiting time after that. I think it's likely that they have already moved to distance learning or that I have gotten Covid before that.

Get some Ivermectin. My llmd gave me a script and I filled it just in case.

I finally caved last month and got the vax.
Haven’t been scheduled for my second shot.
I’m one of a few people still wearing a mask at my workplace.
I won’t be able to unmask until I’ve had my second plus two weeks.

I second girlie’s suggestion to get ivermectin. We have the same doc 😜

I’m not vaccinated. I take it every 2 weeks as a prophylactic.
Posted 8/9/2021 7:31 PM (GMT 0)
That is not something that I will be able to get if I don’t order on Darknet or something. Just found out that one of the two courses we have for the first two months is going to be online.
The other course is a lot of group work online, with only 3-5 hours a week scheduled, except for the first week with 10 hours. The teacher for that course is on vacation so won't know if it's possible to solve that online also. So there won't be any 50 %+ in school for me until later 😊 Which gives me time to take the vaccine if I want to.

How much do you take every two weeks?

I might start doing that

Things to do to reduce chances of getting COVID and/or reduce symptoms

1. Sit closer to an open window or door. Sit as far from people as possible. The bigger the room, the better.
2. Eat some seeds, apples, celery, raw mushrooms, seaweed, and nuts on a daily basis. This helps with Lyme too. We don't have enough fucose for our IgG and this helps.
3. Take classes earlier in the morning. As the day progresses, indoor CO2 levels go up and your chances of getting COVID goes up.
4. Get a food allergy test done. Find out what foods you react to with an IgG response and don't eat those foods.
5. Lose weight and elevate Vitamin D. Vit D needs to be 55 pg/ml or higher. That may take 10,000 IU per day for some people.
6. Use Ivermectin as a preventative agent. Countries that liberally use Ivermectin basically have no COVID. Ivermectin is one of the reasons. Some use it once a month, others use it once a week.

Great advice as usual Georgia Hunter!

1. There are no windows in the rooms and the doors are closed.
2. I eat seeds, and nuts, and sometimes apples.
3. I can't control the time of the classes
4. .
5. I'm in decent shape with 22.8 in BMI and some muscles. I haven't done any tests but I take 4000 IU per day of vitamin D+K.
6. I will take Oil of oregano and Argentyn 23 as preventive agents instead. They help with normal cold and the flu, but no studies on Covid that I know about.

Ivermectin all the way! So unfortunate our governing health bodies won't recommend Ivermectin. The pandemic has been so needless, a total money grab. Very disconcerting...
Posted 8/10/2021 5:21 PM (GMT 0)
They don't typically recommend an intervention unless it has strong research behind it.

My llmd (Dr J) has been wondering too why the Ivernectin isn’t being prescribed when someone thinks they may have caught COVID.
Heck offer a prescription for those in high risk situations!!

Dr. Pierre Kory gave a warning recently. He said that they (FLCCC Alliance members) are noticing lately that people who end up in ICU are not responding as well to their ICU protocol (advancing faster into severe disease with Delta variant he says). They are working on adjusting their protocol accordingly. He is emphasizing the importance of home, early treatment and said their early treatment protocol seems to still be working fine. Just something to keep in mind. Try to have on hand early treatment and incorporate it at first symptoms.

Sadly Potsnpans there has been quite a bit of research and it all gets ignored; if a treatment existed, by law, vaccines would not have been allowed to be made.
Posted 8/10/2021 7:57 PM (GMT 0)
Other EUAs have been issued concurrently w the vaccines, so there's no conflict there. Remdesavir is in fact a fully approved treatment in the US, is it not? Granted it's not a very effective treatment...
..and weren't the vaccines prepurchased, anyway?

The research on ivermectin is just not very strong, as I said. We'll have more conclusive results from some of the RCTs that are still running. It may help a little, but it's certainly not a miracle "end the pandemic" drug.

There are currently 30 randomized controlled trials using Ivermectin showing a 74% improvement when used in early treatment. There are 61 total trials in 23,285 patients. It's current effectiveness in mortality studies is 67% improvement. The data is out there and the trials are sound. The one I saw that showed it was not clinically significant was given on an empty stomach. They must have intentionally sabotaged that study IMO because anyone who has had pharmacokinetics would know better.

I have 3 mg capsules of ivermectin.

Directions are to take 4 caps once weekly . I’m assuming that is a prophylactic dose?

I haven’t been taking it as we don’t have many cases and now I recently had the first vax shot.

Anyone know the dosage if you get Covid?
Posted 8/10/2021 9:25 PM (GMT 0)
Hi girlie,

The prophylaxes dosage is 0.2 mg/kg per dose (take with or after meals) — one dose
today, repeat after 48 hours, then one dose weekly*

If you get covid it's 0.2–0.4 mg/kg per dose (take with or after meals) — one
dose daily, take for 5 days or until recovered*
Use upper dose range if:  1) in regions with more aggressive variants;
2) treatment started on or after day 5 of symptoms or in pulmonary
phase; or 3) multiple comorbidities/risk factors.

That's the official FLCCC protocol that can be found here:

Doc told me to do 4 3mg tabs once every 2 weeks. I think I heard him mention it’s every 14-21 days so I do it every 2 weeks. Maybe it’s his way for me because I’m super isolated

Quality studies have prepublished detailed protocols and statistical analysis plans.. they get pre-registered on NCT. They have rigorous regulatory oversight and data transparency. Unfortunately the large majority of trials you are referencing had none of that.

Furthermore the two largest of the RCTs done so far show no significant effects (positive or negative)

But if anyone wants a doctor to prescribe them ivermectin, I think the FLCCC website can help them find one - best to get it through a legit doc. Just know that:

-It is not a substitute for a vaccine
-It has not historically been taken long-term (as you might take it for prophylaxis).. question for GH or anyone else: could it be liver toxic w long-term use? ..or for someone with Lyme or covid (possibly a compromised bbb), could it be neurotoxic?

Not meaning to put anyone off of taking it.. I'm sure it's safer than at least 90% of the abx we're used to here, and I think it probably has some net positive effect.

For me I will be sticking with OTC herbs/supps if I happen to have trouble with a "breakthrough" infection. Deep_sleep: here is a link to Buhner's covid protocol in case you haven't seen it (includes suggestions for prophylaxis)...
